How to get custom desktop extension to work for Numenera

[heyhogan]

I have been trying to tweak the custom desktop extension to work with Numenera, which is based on RPG Core. It just doesn't show up. What am I missing here. The only extensions that do show up as options for Numenera are Enhanced Images (CoreRPG+), Locations Database, and Masks Custom Desktop Decal.

Here is link to the file I working with: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B430SaHsoDsHaW9MQTcxVEJxbkU/view?usp=sharing

Here is the code I thought I needed to change.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<root version="3.0" release="1" logo="logo.png">
<properties>
<name>Numenera Desktop</name>
<version>1.3</version>
<author>Malvok - Edited by KRHO</author>
<description>Numenera FG Desktop</description>
<loadorder>10</loadorder>
</properties>
<base>
<includefile source="graphics/graphics_frames.xml" />
</base>
</root>

Can someone help me out? What do I have to do to make this show up as an extension to Numenera?

Within the properties tags add this:

<ruleset>
<name>Numenera</name>
</ruleset>

and you should be good to go!

Funny you should suggest that. I tried that too, but no luck.

I'm guessing it could be how you've zipped up the extension.

Use ZIP compression, not RAR or 7z.
ZIP up from within the extension directory - don't ZIP from outside the directory. i.e. select extension.xml and the other files and ZIP those up to create the extension.

Or, for your testing, don't create a .ext file, just create a directory for your extension in the <FG App Data>\extensions directory and put all of the files in that directory.

Also, reload FG when you've done this - it will only see new extensions when it loads.

I was zipping/unzipping extention wrong, so you guessed it. I have things more or less ironed out. Seeing duplicate listings but both work so I am going to live with that.
