I just received an email for sales, and it's listing the 7th Edition for Call of Cthulhu for sale, are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Yay!!!

Yes, thank you Damned and Ian Ward. Lots of people will get many happy (though terrifying) hours of enjoyment out of this.

Also, this feature is fantastic: 'The Call of Cthulhu, 7th edition, will open and convert Adventures and Investigators created with and for the 6th Edition ruleset and update statistics and rolls automatcally.'

Having a good poke around. Excellent job with this one. I love the combined table to roll all your stats.

I noticed a couple of very minor things though. ( I know, I know ) sorry. Where would you like me to report them?

I will tranlsate it to spanish too, and my interface for 6e just needs some little tweaking, so that´s cool, we will continue Masks of Nyarla in 7e.
MAy I suggest to convert Pulp Cthulhu next? ;)

damned

Skellan here is as good a place as any - post away.

Luthbel the Investigators Guide is well under way but then it will be a few adventures rather than another big resource book straight away.... <so many things to do so little time>

Vanethian I hope you enjoy!

Great news, thank you!

We've been using the unofficial 7E plugin for a while now. Any expectations on compatibility and moving chars from it to the official 7E?

edit: clicking on CoC from FG main web page takes to this (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/?sys=4&sort=2&hidecore=1) page, which has a link to 6E as the first item on the list. In fact, I can't find the 7E on the store at all without using the link from the newsletter email.

That's a good point. We have a ton of CoC 6E stuff but it is in a different group that 7E. We can only link to one, obviously, from the front page. Decisions, decisions.

You might need to add a second one for CoC7! You will have two D&D ones up there soon enough (Pathfinder :bandit:)!

Bummer. When i go to FG starting page and then go to Call of Cthulhu it doesn't show the 7th edition. I have to go to the shop to see it directly. So i bought 6th edition yesterday because i was tired of waiting. :(

Hello,
Big thanks to all of you for fhis great new ruleset.
I like the characther sheet with the differnec made between occupation and personal points, the whole linked to an occupation tables !
I noticed a little bug. Were used to it cause the 'old' v7 extension had the same one. When using a bonus or penlaty dices for a skill roll in the dice tower, the system add 2 'unit' dices.

damned
December 23rd, 2016, 10:41
Hey new_vision the 7e wasnt even on the store yesterday so there was no way for you to buy it yesterday.
The 6e is very good value and I think it comes with 2 or 3 adventures (I cant remember for sure) and these will convert into 7e if you go 7e later on.
If you really dont want 6e you could send an email to [email protected] and explain your situation.

Hi dragonheels I cant reproduce that? Everytime I roll with bonus die it is adding a second tens die.
Can you - delete any unpacked CoreRPG folders you might have and re-run the updater.
Then load your Campaign only with CallOfCthulhu7e ruleset and no extensions?
Please let me know.

Hello Damned,

My fault, I imported an old charachter sheet I had I exported from the 'old' v7 extension.
But with a new fresh created one, I have no problems !
So it's OK for me. I will make fresh ones :)
EDIT
Actually, it also works with the old character sheet. All ok for skills rolls.

I made a fool of me and tested with an attribute (FOR, DEX...). In that case it works of none of them.
Now, I never uses bonus or penalties dices on those attributes... so.... :)

Hello.
Sorry for the google translation.

My FG key was offered to me by a friend who bought the key with his account in 2011. Not having this account information, I went through Steam (after adding it to my games) to buy the Cthulhu v6 and v7 rulesets.
If I have the ruleset v6 in my directory, I do not have the .pak of the v7 ... Difficult to make an extension of translation without this base ... Nevertheless I have the possibility to create a new one Campaign in v7.
I talked to a contact of RPG who also bought the ruleset v7 from the store of the site of fantasy ground: he has the file CallOfCthulhu V7.pak in his directory ruleset ...
I do not understand anything any more ^^ '

Si j'ai bien le ruleset v6 dans mon répertoire, je n'ai pas le .pak de la v7... Difficile de faire une extension de traduction sans cette base... Pourtant j'ai bien la possibilité de créer une nouvelle campagne en v7.

Are you 100% sure that you are looking in the correct data folder? The best way to check is to open it using the folder button in the main FG window.

Not wanting to sound picky but

In the reference manual section C14 > Optional rules. The copy seems to be truncated at the end. It seems to cut off mid sentence at the end after 'Nyarlathotep'

This is only a minor thing so hardly a priority. There is another chapter in the reference manual that is truncated but I have lost it now.

Is it possible the ruleset file is in the Vault?
If so we could supply the strings file for translations?

The file should be CallOfCthulhu7e.pak

Hello Damned,
Well, I had the problem again (those with bonus dice).
I suppressed all corerpg.pak files from the cmputer and reloaded.
Same things. In the Dice tower, it add unit dices instead of second ten dice.
I did the test after cerating a brand new campaing and a new character sheet

Yes.
I even completely uninstalled FG, deleted the directory from my hard drive and then reinstalled via steam. He handed me the .pak 6e but not the 7e.

Dragonheels has the same problem ...

Hi dragonheels you didnt mention the dice tower in your original post - I never use the tower - it does indeed roll the wrong bonus die when the tower is used. Ill get it investigated.

Hi VenomousFiligree - the Modern Theme isnt required with v7 (it isnt an option to select unless you have modified the theme) so I think we are off the hook on this one :)

The issues I had with the sheet whilst modern was selected is the only valid issue I posted (I believe). I had a clean install with the 7e ruleset loaded. Whilst I had both 6e and 7e modules loaded, there were no other extensions loaded.

Hey to all you awesome people who are wanting to do translations - I didnt know the ruleset was also encrypted - here is a basic extension for you to use for your translations. Start with this and if we need to add more files to it we can later on. I suggest you rename your extension as CoC7eBabylonian.ext or CoC7eSumerian.ext or whatever language you are translating too.

Thats correct - after checking with Moon Wizard the updates will probably push with 3.2.2 because it breaks a tonne of things - cthulhu ftaghn!
So report away please and we will get as much of it completed before them.
Today Ive found that some of the occupations dont have descriptions... most strange - something got lost in proofing or combining or something rather more mysterious!

Hello and Merry Christmas!

Thank you again for the translation base.

I translated the extension into French, but this brings a script error that I can not verify:
Script Error: [string "scripts / manager_era.lua"]: 242: bad argument # 1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

There are still a few untranslated fields in Personal and Inventory.
Finally, there are some alignment problems, especially in the DB, Build and Dodge area on the Main tab. I can manage to shorten the length of words on other tabs.

Lately, the skills are not translated into the skills tab.

Jean Yves.

Nice work, but i still have issues with sharing NPC (as i had in the 6th ed):

When you Share an NPC, it is shown to the Players only with the appearance-tab. (Just as expected)

but when Players open an shared NPC from the NPC List-View, it is shown to them with all Stats and Data.


Any Idea how to fix it?

This might be the better solution in some strongly strategy-based games.

But in an investigation, horror and mysterygame like CoC players shouldnt see that much of an NPC

At least thats my opinion:

There is always Information, you don't want the players to see. Just think about the new identification thing, or datafields for GM-Notes in the Item-Dialog or the DOE extensions.

so showing everything about an NPC means to bring the sharing option next to useless

But i think, its extremely useful to provide thr Players with a list of NPCs they already met which contains an brief description of the things they know about them.

And the developers seem to agree with me here because the description is the only thing displayed when you share the NPC but the whole sheet shows up, when a player reopens ist later.

It would be really cool to bring up a choice wether you wanna show the whole NPC-Sheet or only the description.

Skellan
December 25th, 2016, 19:19
I get you. I have previously only used the share npc option to enable players to control their allies so I don't have to. I haven't used it to share information about bad guys. I can see how it would be nice to share certain parts of npc information but you would have to be careful to only reveal what information the characters have found out about a non ally npc. It might be better to create an npc section in the notes so the players can note their suspicions on it etc. A 'share only appearance' option would be good though.

Sharing of NPCs is a CoreRPG feature and shares the whole entry. We will have a look at the request to be able to share only the one tab but no promises - it is all stored in the one db node so once shared it is.... shared.

There's a bug I've seen while playing around with the ruleset. I might be doing something wrong, but when creating a character and I get to the point of choosing a Occupation, I drag the occupation to the character sheet, which works fine. However, when I press the added occupation in order to select personal skills (etc) based on the occupation - I run into a weird issue with Fighting (or any other skill where you can type in the name of the skill, Fighting: Brawl etc.). What happens is this:

17055

(And as I was about to post this, I also noticed how Credit Rating ended up extremely high, despite me not adding any skill points at this point - could this be related to me choosing Credit Rating as one of the Personal skills?).

As you can see, it does this with Art/Craft as well, despite it being pre-set on the Occupation.

Hi Sjelsyk yeah I have a work-in-progress quick start guide for the ruleset. I will try and get this out soon!
Its best if you build your character in the order that the ruleset specifies -
Roll Characteristics - there is a table that will do your dice rolling in one go but doesnt do the multiplication.
Then choose an Occupation - drag and drop or use the link button.
Then Edit Skills and allocate points and add any new skills - then stop the editing mode
For Equipment make sure you drag weapons into Inventory and they should auto-populate weapons.

As to Fighting Brawl I think that is expected behaviour... ianmward did the coding so Im not completely across the logic - can you explain what you are expecting to see or what you are seeing that isnt working for you?

Yes i Know about this. But i don't expect players to be hackers wo dive to deep into the FG-Structure. As long as it is invisible they won't see it, regardless if thier client can see the information or not.

In the 6ed i managed to achieve this simply by hiding the tabs on the side and auto-switching to the description-Page. I guess there is a more elegant way to hide a whole page, but through my limited knowledge of the FG-Api, this was fastest for me.

I would figure it out myself, bit the encrypted ruleset makes modifications like this much harder than it used to be.

It's just weird that if I type "Brawl" under a "Fighting" skill in the Occupation (after it's added to the character, by pressing the button next to the occupation name in the character sheet), it will show up on the skill list as "Fighting: B", "Fighting: Br", "Fighting: Bra", "Fighting: Braw" and "Fighting: Brawl". I assume it's not meant to do this. :)

I think the screenshot represent this fairly well, that I get a list of "Fighting" skills with -1 and then finally the one with the complete name shows correctly. I find it even weirder though that this happens with for example "Art/Craft: Instrument", since this is a skill that was already set on the Occupation, but still there's two blank "Art/Craft" skills and one with Instrument.

I also just created a Musician named Michael George and I used the table to roll (am going to experiment with outputting this as a Story instead...) and did the calc and added (I rolled fairly well too I might add!) and then I chose the Musician occupation and selected my various skills.
One the first I did not choose Credit rating and I didnt see any abnormalities but on choosing Credit Rating I did also get around 125 of my Personal Skill points allocated to it...
Im pretty sure this is not expected :)
Ill queue it up for investigation.
In the meantime - edit the skill and allocate the correct amount of points and the rest will be returned to your pool.

2) I add in the skills window a few points in each type of weapon (I close the edition mode well)
3) I go back to page 1, and I see that my percentages of weapons do not change ... is that normal. Do you need to manually match the weapon and weapon skills points?

Right now, I'm afraid so. If you follow the recommended character creation steps, you would have fixed the skill values before adding equipment, so it would not be an issue until you do your skill improvement rolls.

You might find they update if you restart.

Hey to all you awesome people who are wanting to do translations - I didnt know the ruleset was also encrypted - here is a basic extension for you to use for your translations. Start with this and if we need to add more files to it we can later on. I suggest you rename your extension as CoC7eBabylonian.ext or CoC7eSumerian.ext or whatever language you are translating too.

Skill translation doesn't work via the string-Files. Once more the problem is the encrypted ruleset. In de 6ed version, the skills were defined in the manager_era.lua file and i am quite sure, its the same in 7ed but i don't have access to the file.

I deliberated a lot on Headings vs Bold Text right thru this damn manual (and doing the same in the IG!). Zacchaeus has also made the same suggestion to me about a number of sections. Would you mind sharing exact headings that you think should change so I can confirm one way or another. My response to Z was no in most cases because I felt that the book definitely had them in a much smaller font than the others that are headings. If we had h2 and h3 tags then they would get one of those in most cases. I will review all your suggestions but I may not act on them all! :)

Hello,
I'm testing NPC in the CT. My NPC's has an automatically calculated Damage Bonus: +1D4. That's correct.
In 'weapon' I put Brawl 75% with 1d3 damage.
When using this dommage, the 1d3 is taken in account, but not the damage bonus (+1d4).
Is it due to my brawl weapon who is maybe not recognised as a "melee" one ?

There seems to be other issues with NPC's as well (Something I at least notice very well when creating NPC Race).

Instead on dividing the Con+Siz on 10, it seems to divide on 2 - giving them HP which is a lot higher than it should be.

Could it be that the MP is also wrong (it seems high as well) - it seems to take the full POW value, which is a little high now that there's % stats :)


Edit: I also want to point out how great everything looks in the ruleset (The layout in the rulebook is amazing and is so well designed that I don't have to look up stuff in the books anymore, something I often felt I had to do in the 6E version due to how it was designed). And in general I'm very happy with the ruleset and in no way displeased with it :) Just that reporting bugs can sometimes sound like that, hah.

and as far as i suspect it's also gonna kill some automatically calculated Base-Values (at least it did so in the old set).

As long as you keep providing the necessary files, it shouldn't be a big deal to fix it. Of course we could keep the englisch Skill-Names but IMHO an incomplete localisation is not very satisfying.

It should have recalculated those stats.

If you have 6e - just as a test - can you open a 6e campaign and import and then export one of those characters and then import to a 7e campaign?

Hi VenomousFiligree could you explain the first point again?

My copy of those two reads like this:

<b>3) Violence:</b> A red mist descends on the investigator and they explode in a spree of uncontrolled violence and destruction directed at their surroundings, allies or foes alike for 1D10 rounds.

<b>10) Mania:</b> The investigator gains a new mania. Roll 1D100 on <b>Table X: Sample Manias</b>, or the Keeper may choose one. The investigator seeks to indulge in their new mania for the next 1D10 rounds.

Forgot the first point. In the book there are two tables: VII Bouts of Madness-(Real Time) and VIII Bouts of Madness-(Summary), you just have one and it doesn't detail in the heading which it is.

I deliberated a lot on Headings vs Bold Text right thru this damn manual (and doing the same in the IG!). Zacchaeus has also made the same suggestion to me about a number of sections. Would you mind sharing exact headings that you think should change so I can confirm one way or another. My response to Z was no in most cases because I felt that the book definitely had them in a much smaller font than the others that are headings. If we had h2 and h3 tags then they would get one of those in most cases. I will review all your suggestions but I may not act on them all! :)

Thank you for your efforts on this Skellan.

I don't really mind either way.

The ones I meant are:

C10> magic > Tomes. 'Using the Optional rule: spontaneous use of the cthulhu mythos skill' and 4 paragraphs later 'Entering the world of cthulhu mythos'

C10 > Creating scenarios 'Begin with a compelling opening scene' looks like it should be in bold

If its a style choice its fine. It just looked odd to me :)

Nahhh... that dosnt seem to have worked...
It should have recalculated those stats.

If you have 6e - just as a test - can you open a 6e campaign and import and then export one of those characters and then import to a 7e campaign?
I suspect its the way that character is coming in its missing the conversion routine.

Before I even got to that point. I closed deleted the characters, and redragged them and it worked fine.
*shrug*
Not sure what happened to make it work, but if it comes up again I'll try to follow exactly the steps in case there was a trick to making it work one way or the other

Just a (probably dumb) question.
I opened the Utilies module from the 6e ruleset stuff, and tried to drag the ready-made investigators into the character window. It made them, but with weird numbers for their characteristics. Here is a side by side. https://puu.sh/t2Pn1/25de38b61c.jpg

Is this intended to work how I tihnk it is? I remember reading that stuff is meant to auto-update to 7e but can't figure out if this is one of the things.

If you open the npc first, it will convert the stats to 7e. Then drag to PCs and it should work ok.

Hi all,

I'm new on these forums and first of all would like to thank you for releasing a 7th ed. ruleset as I was really looking forward to use FG to play the new Call of Cthulhu edition with.

That said, I would like to report a bug with the new ruleset. When picking an occupation for a character, the Credit rating allowed on the sheet is not a range. It gets modified automatically to either end of the credit rating range.

E.g. An author would have a Credit Rating set to 9 or 30, never any value in between.

Thank you for your attention and keep up the great work!

December 28th, 2016, 11:47
Hi snake and welcome. There is a credit rating bug - its posted earlier in this thread and has been fixed for the first round of fixes/updates.
AFAIK once fixed it will always give you 9 for a Musician and you can choose to spend points on it up to 30... but I could be wrong :)

EDIT: Author, I mean author... and a bunch of other lazy so and so artistic types...

Will it be possible for the credit rating to go beyond the starting range? In game, people can go broke by losing their job or become richer than what is initially allowed.

Hmm, shouldn't the "Cash and Assets" part of the character sheet be different now, seeing as the new system uses Cash, Assets and Spending Level instead of all the stuff from 6E. :)


Edit: I also see the Credit Rating issue that the person mentioned, which is slightly different than the problem I had. It's the fact that in the "Occupation Points" you can only spent either the lowest score, or the highest score and no in-between. You can however keep the minimum and put the rest in the final column (Spent), even if that won't show correctly with the skills (but it works temporarily at least, just keep the remaining sum left in Occ and you won't use too much points.

Does anybody have a explnation of how to use the CT ?
If, as A, I attack B, and B dodge for instance...
What is best ?
Usually, I drag and drop the skill brawl (or other) on the target in the CT. But the target has to roll dodge too, so results can be compared.
What is the best for that ?
Then for damage, I also drop that onto the target...
Is ist all correct ? I'm not sure at all about the best way concerning the roll made by the attacked person...

I usually ask the party who they're targeting this round and then I put targets for them within CT. That way they can just roll from the character sheet and it will go towards the enemy they've targeted. Of course, after they've done their attack you have to roll the dodge manually (or fight back in 7E, in which case you can roll at the same time). I donno if this is the correct way to do it, but it works pretty well for me/us.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9w0l59gys3k4nk/targeting%201.PNG?dl=0

See the Target icon next to the green face thing? Click it and you'll get the line below it. Next drag the target button to the enemy this person/NPC/Enemy is targeting. You'll then see that their picture show up in the target, like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rpexv69kgjr35b4/targeting%202.PNG?dl=0

Close this line by clicking on the first Target thing next to the green face (or red if it's the enemy) and it will show like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/golvu1opeabgpyk/targeting%203.PNG?dl=0

Now that character can just roll his skills and it will target this enemy. :) At least it worked like that in 6E, so I assume it's the same in 7E.

I'd prefer to have Income changed to Spending Level, Cash on Hand to Cash and the third to Assets (I don't remember quite what it is in FG - have logged out now), or in the way they are written in the book. The two last fields could be removed (I think). Mainly cause I assume I will end up having to explain what to write where with some of the players... and if they end up creating characters over and over and always having to explain them that then that can be tedious. But let's hear what others think about that :)

And yeah, the Credit Rating seems buggy, but the temp fix for this is to just write the extra value in Spent and just be on the positive side on Occupation Skills :) So it's not too critical as long as you know that.

For NPCs I believe the damage bonus has to be added in the "Dmg" box, so "1D3+db"

That's right, although I also added the possibility of marking it the attack as an impaling weapon so that the damage calculates correctly on extreme success.

You can specify this using |Imp at the end, and for consistency, you can also use | for the damage bonus. So, for sword it might be '1d6|db|Imp'

Hit points appear incorrect (already reported I believe).
On a sanity roll the roll report suggests a luck spend (if applicable), however luck can't be spent on sanity rolls.
When a lot of players roll dice together the roll reports are often a wall of text and difficult to easily interpret. Is it possible the roll result (fail, regular success, etc) could be bolded?

Seconding the result being lost in text. It'd be great to have the result if not bolded, then on a seperate line in much the same way as a attack roll is seperated in the DnD rulesets.

An error about loading the CoC ruleset but all other players didn't have this and we played normally, except for a huge bug in the character screen of 1 player.

She created a new character, moved the soldier profession link from the CoC reference module to character sheet. And appeared soldier correctly. Inside the new soldier sheet she decided the occupation skills. First of all, "dodge" was not there, but it should be an occupation skill for soldier.

Then we had a huge problem with fighting and firearms. Everytime we tried to edit them and rename with "fighting knife" and "fighting handgun" and clicking on the left square to make them occupation skills, the points from occupation were switching to personal. Also, multiple fighting and firearms entries appeared.

This happened also with survival.

So we battle with entries appearing, and we had to delete an hundred entries (in the end), while editing the assigned points.

I've seen the entries multiplied when clicking with mouse and also using the CTRL with WheelMouse to change the values.

Ok, said that, I've seen that Brawl appears automatically in the Melee (Main page), but how to make it appear also in the skill list and with the base chance of 25%?

I think I may have worked out some of it - on tabbing on a specialty skill eg Fighting -> Brawl after allocating it some occupation Points it creates another blank parent skill. Definitely a bug.

Fighting (Brawl) is I believe the only one that auto creates with 25%. All the others I think you have to do manually. There is no where (that I can find at least) that mentions Fighting (Knife) at 20%.
EDIT: The others from the Rulebook also add correctly. I dont see Knife in there.

Doh, of course it does. I was trying to reasoning but I guess its back to the drawing board.


About the Fighting(Knife), it falls under Fighting(Brawl) so it's not its own skill anymore :)

EDIT: I've also seen that if you copy/paste into the Fighting/Firearms/Survival etc it won't create more than the correct skill (in the characters Occupation skills), but it reacts when you change a Occupation Skill in the skill list

As you mention earlier, there is no Fighting (Knife) skill in 7th ed. See page 64 of the rules:

Brawl (25%): includes all unarmed � ghting and basic weapons that anyone could pick up and make use of, such as clubs (up to cricket bats or baseball bats), knives, and many improvised weapons, such as bottles and chair legs. To determine the damage done with an improvised weapon, the Keeper should refer to the weapon chart and pick something comparable.

The occupation skills need to be set in the occupation and not by clicking on the check box, that is informative only and I will make it read only.

You should set up the occupation skills after dragging in the occupation. The missing dodge skill will be fixed. But in the mean time, you could create a new occupation withe the correct skills and drag it on.

The only real issue I had was with picking out the results in the text. I know that this has been mentioned earlier but thought it might be worth mentioning that I also found it difficult.

Anyway, thanks Ian and Damned

Hello, I had the New Year's party and I'm very excited. Also, seems I can't sleep so it's normal that at 4 am of the new year I'm in front of my PC. All I can say it's: THIS WILL BE A GREAT YEAR for gaming. And Cthulhu is just the beginning. So my BEST WISHES to Ian, Damian and to Smiteworks :D

Hello, I'm working on the players sheets to make them clear and with correct occupation and personal points... as soon as I complete this job, I tell you all I've done and if it worked correctly.

Ah, ok, I found another multiply bug. While editing the Librarian template, ad adding the lang other, I was putting Italian and practically while typing the ruleset added this:

One more thing, If I add an handgun in the Ranged section, the percentage automatically updates to the skill percentage. But this doesn't happen with Brawl and with a Knife... it remains 25 even if the skill is 70.

I found that I have to add again the knife, and this time it works, but I don't khow to add again the Brawl in the Melee section.

If you are dragging a knife from a 6e reference its probably tied to a non existent skill. I just dragged a knife from the 7e reference and it works and I created a handgun and a knife manually and they both worked.
They wont update if you later improve their base skills. That has been noted as a feature request but we havent tabled it yet to do.

I also noticed a minor thing.

Brass Knuckles' damage in FG shows as 1d3+db, but it should be 1d3+1+db :)


Edit: Also noticed that if I have someone hidden in the CT and I use the "Next actors turn" thing, it will show the names of the hidden characters in the chat, but skip their turns. I don't think it used to do this in 6E (but it could be that it's a CoreRPG bug rather than this ruleset). Either way, it's good that I noticed that now as I tend to load everything into an encounter and just hide those that ain't relevant until they are. I remember in the old version it sometimes gave players the names of hidden entities. Remember that was fun when someone rolled a attack and it said "Zombie" instead of their name :D

Here is my first try on the German translation. Skills are translated too, but i kept Credit Rating and Dodge in English so they don't get messed up.

Of Course the pre-defined professions don't work with this.

If I could get my hands on the corresponding file (the ones in the Reference-Module that contain professio-data), it would be a quick batch-processing to fix it :)

While talking about sourcecode:

any hint how to switch the two, tabs in my NPC-Dialog an howto add a line of code in the npc_main.lua via an Extension, i just wanne hide my NPC-Date to players?

Happy new Year

Hi Muwak we have taken your suggestion and code for the NPCs and incorporated it into the next build so it is coming :)
I cant think of any way that an extension is going to be able to update the modules containing the occupations. I will try and test your language extension and see what else might be able to be included.

Great, i really appreciate that :)

Regarding the translation-thing, I rather thought about creating a mini-Module that replaces the english content.

The idea was to use a batch-replacement to replace the skill-names automatically in the module-files and provide an alternative Module either as a separate download (might be a copyright-problem) or as a part of the RS.

I see the major problem in skills like dodge or credit-rating which are directly accessed by lua-scripts.

January 2nd, 2017, 23:23
Hi Muwak I suppose it would be quite possible to include an alternate Occupations library in a translated language. You are right the LUA could/would be challenging. Please PM me your email address and we can correspond further on this and see what is and isnt easy and what is maybe do-able but harder...

Hi VenomousFiligree I did pop into TS to check if the game was going :)
The Luck Spend has been adjusted to whole numbers in the next build. The Luck message should otherwise be correct?
There is an issue with the Bonus Die and it required a full re-write of percentage dice due to the way that FG currently handles them. This is included in the next build.

I think that I have understood your post but do clarify it for me if I got it wrong.

Hi Muwak,
The lua code does not use the skill names directly but uses the strings file translations. There are a number of entries char_skill_xxx (e.g. char_skill_dodge) which are used.
I did spot one case where this was not the case for dodge in NPCs which I have fixed for the upcoming release. It is possible that others have slipped through but the intention is that they should be translatable.
The big liibrary which would need translating is the occupations and I am thinking about how we could do them. Maybe we could use translation strings in the library or maybe we could supply that library as a separate module, available for translation, or maybe we could request the skill translations and supply the translated module for those languages.

We'll discuss the best approach.

Oopps, then i probably got some of those which slipped trough. I thought the translation strings would not work, because nothing changed in the Sheet after i did the translation, i'll check if I linked the string-file correctly.

As far as i understood (by goung through the code) the old ruleset did not have skill-translationstrings, so there were some issues with lua code using skill Names. Because there are some similarities between the rulesets i supposed, it was the same way in the new one.

Nice to see that you made a major improvement ther :)

Is the naming-convention alwasy char_skill_###name###?


If the Language-Strings are usable, do they also translate the strings in the Profession-Library? If so, an external module shouldn't be be nessecary. But as I don't know your structures you can tell better.

I'm looking forward your decision an will start the translation as soon as i get my hands on the data.

BTW: Is there any plan for cooperating with foreign Publishers like the German Pegasus-Publishing? It would bei so cool to have the german Ruletext in FG :)

And because i didn't metion it yet:

I REALLY like this ruleset an i'm looking forward to using it in my campaign. Keep on the good work :)

The proffesion library is the module we're thinking about.

It does not currently currently use the translations, so we need to decide on the best way.

Hello,
I juste entered some NPC, checking the box 'race'.
in the cahracteristics I entered 3d6, 2d6+6 and so on. I don't know if it's meant to be so or if I have to enter 3d6*5 for instance.
I also entered a number in the 'average' box. What is the goal of this box ? Is it informative or does it have an effect on the formula ???

Whne dragging the NPC into an encounter or into the CT, all seems quite good, except the hip point thar are too large. EG 55, 65 or even more. I do not undderstand cause these values have nothing to do with the CON and SIZ characteristics.

Is there sth I'm doing wrong ?

EDIT. The problem with the hit point also appears when I drop a NPC from the 'Creatures of the mythos' part of the ruleset.

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?35672-Call-of-Cthulhu-7E-ruleset&p=309975&viewfull=1#post309975

It seems it divides CON + SIZ on 2, instead of ten (as in the old rules). The MP is also the full POW instead of 1/5 (if I recall correctly that's how the new rules are). It's probably fixed in the upcoming update :)

Something has happened after the update. I can no longer drag and drop Firearms/Hand weapons into the character sheet from the ruleset. It won't add. If I make an test item myself, I can drag it into the character sheet.

I can click on the items in the lists and they will pop up as if they are items, but it just doesn't let me "interact" with it like I could before.

If yes, are they compatible with the Core Ruleset.

I think I saw this mentioned earlier in the thread, but not sure. I have created a character in the ruleset, which seemed to go fairly well. I added the Athlete occupation to the character, and things looked good. However, when I start his skills, I am unable to add any points from his Occupation points to his Credit Rating without the total jumping to the max allowed by the occupation. The Athlete's range is 9 to 70, and the Credit Rating box under Occupation Points starts with 9 already in place. If any points, even a single point, is added to that box, it jumps to the max of 70. I am a CoC newbie, so I could be adding things I shouldn't be into the wrong space. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? As near as I can tell, I am running 3.2.2, which I believe is the current version. Thanks for the help.

When my players were making characters a few days ago, we noticed an issue when dealing with Firearms and Languages. If they added one in and tried to type in what it was, it would start putting in additional empty Firearms/Languages skills, and their Occ/Pers points would get all messed up.

The only workaround we could do was to stop editing the skills and then type in what they were after the fact.

Should it normally do that?

There was also another problem a player encountered where he said he could pick Credit Rating again on his Occupation sheet and things got royally messed up, but I'm not quite sure what hapened there. I'll have to get him to clarify it.

There are at least two bugs I'd like to report, which I've forgotten to do.

First one is the newly added "Psych" button in the Party Sheet. If I roll this skill from the party sheet it doesn't say in the chat that it's a Psychology skill roll. Should be a very quick fix.

Another issue I've had is if I open the reference book and without going through any of the tabs, search for a skill. It won't show the entire reference book - even if I remove the search. I have to close the window and open it again - click on "Call of Cthulhu" and then search. Just try searching for a skill in the Reference Manual without doing anything else.

Edit: The last one seems to work now, even if it didn't on Friday when we played - and several times before. I was going to take screenshots to show what I meant, but for some reasons it does work now.

Hi Lawlesslisa,
As in most rulesets, NPC sheets do not have weapon links. The NPCs are usually typed in from the stat block in an adventure.
The damage bonus is calculated based on the STR & SIZ as described on page 33 of the rulebook. For the character to have a db of +1d4, the sum of these abilities should be between 125 and 164.

February 28th, 2017, 16:41
Also those values appear to need to be in the right hand column (I'm at work can't bring up FG app), not the left hand column, for the calculations to be done.

The formula that worked for me was "1d4+db" for a knife.

You don't need to share the combat tracker with the players, they have access to it the same way the GM does - click the cross-swords icon in the top right.

Tip: As the GM you can see what the players see by launching a second instance of FG and "Join Game" with a server address of localhost You'll find this invaluable in knowing what the players see and the difference between the GM and players interface.
