PFS chronicle sheet attached to character sheet

[Vladlock]

I was just wondering if anyone is working on or has come up with a chronicle sheet that is attached to the pathfinder character sheet. I know they developed something like this for the 5e sheet, I think its called an adventure log or something.

Evidently per Paizo those aren't legal, needs to be a signed sheet

@Vladlock - I assume you're talking about a log, rather than every detail of the chronicle sheet? If so, this would have to be developed by someone in the community. If you want the full chronicle sheet info that could also be done, but with a lot more development and a lot of manual input by the player as images don't get exported with the PC XML.

Makes sense, was just wondering why they would have came up with something like that for 5e and not PF

It was done by a community member who thought it would be useful... it sounds like a good project.... interested?

If I knew the first thing about xml programming I would take you up on it.

This is a serious comment....
Everyone starts somewhere.
Yes - FG programming is a little convoluted to get your head around but you have the example of the PF extension as a base and there are lots of people here to bounce questions off of....
I dont think AL is as popular here as PFS is but you might also have some luck encouraging someone else to help you with it (or do it for you).

Doh! Of course I do....

any idea on what program I can use to even open and look at the programing? I don't mind dabbling but it might take me a while to crank something out

Hi Vladlock - download notepad++ and also download 7zip.
Neither are *required* but both will make things a bit easier.

Download the 5e extension and right click with 7zip and choose extract. Copy the extracted folder to your /extensions directory
All the files in here are either graphics or openeable with notepad++

The first file is extension.xml this has the following content...


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root version="3.0">
<properties>
<name>Adventurer's League Log</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<author>BoomerET</author>
<description>Adds a tab to the character sheet for tracking AL sessions.</description>
<ruleset>
<name>5E</name>
</ruleset>
</properties>
<base>
<!-- Scripts -->
<script name="AL_Log" file="ALlog_chatmsg.lua" />

<!-- Campaign files -->
<includefile source="campaign/record_char.xml" />
<includefile source="campaign/template_char-allog.xml" />
<includefile source="campaign/ref_adventure.xml" />
<includefile source="campaign/record_adventure.xml" />
<includefile source="campaign/record_char_log.xml" />

<!-- Icons -->
<icon name="tab_log" file="graphics/tabs/tab_log.png" />

<!-- Strings -->
<includefile source="strings/strings_5e-allog.xml" />

</base>
</root>


It has the
Extension Name
Author
Description
Ruleset (the naming of your ruleset is very important)

then there next section are other included files -
ALlog_chatmsg.lua
campaign/record_char.xml etc

You will then need to probably start with campaign/record_char.xml and try and work out what it does... (the first thing it does is overwrite the same file in the 5e ruleset and adds the extra tab in)...

You might find that this is too big an extension to pull off as your first if you havent done anything like this before.
If that is the case - dont be put off. Have a look at a Theme extension first (https://www.fg-con.com/free-downloads/) and get a feel for how/what the files do and how they are linked.

And ask questions - but ask specific questions :)

Lots of info available here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?19033-Modifying-the-3-5e-PFRPG-ruleset The thread is for 3.5E but it equally applies to 5E - just replace any references to 3.5E with 5E.

What about just having a game log that the player can add scans of signed chronicle sheets to entry lines?
So I could have a line for Trouble in Tamran, and then have a link to a PF chronicle scan.
