GURPS 4E Core Ruleset

[seycyrus]

How can i make it work? I followed your instructions but I can't see it working.

Unzip the folder, and then place the ENTIRE folder (unzipped) in the plugin directory of GCA5. Something like C: ...documents/GCA5/plugin

@ronnke

How do you change the attributes for GURPS inside Fantasy Grounds? I have the GCA exporter files but is there a way to input the attributes inside FG itself?

The character sheets and NPC sheets should be editable inside Fantasy Grounds. Make sure the sheets are unlocked. Just click on the fields and type in the numbers, or use the mouse scroll wheel.

What's in your plugin folder?

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Only the folder containing the two files of the npc plugin.

[WoodmanX]

That looks like your GCA Version is different from mine 5.0.172 wich appears to be the most current one, due to the way Plugins work, they basically only work with the GCA version thy are compiled for. The Package Manager circumvents this by simply compiling the source code for the currently installed version of GCA.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Hmm. Updated (didn't see the glaring red warning about downloading it from warehouse 23 :) ). Still getting an error though now that I'm in .172. Not a biggie at the moment as I'm doing any campaign stuff.

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

For the plugin to work, it needs to be inside the folder that it is compressed and this folder goes inside the plugin folder of GCA 5, I had taken it out of the folder and it was not appearing, when I did what I said above it appears.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Nargh.... I've put the compressed folder in the Plugins; nothing. I've put the uncompressed folder in and it blows a gasket. I've put just the two files in the plugin folder and nothing (which is what I'd expect anyway, but I thought I'd try).

Maybe it just doesn't like me.

I'll just wait until Armin puts it in for you :)

Yeah, I was going to ask about that.

One thing to note is that after Armin puts the exporter into GCA, you need to remove the plugin down loader here from the plugin folder. If you don't you'll get a warning when you launch GCA.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Yeah, that I learned from the PC exporter :)

[SceiccoNero]

I do not see the plugin. It does not matter what I do, I followed your instructions to the letter but I still can't see it anywhere :(

Can you post a screenshot of your plugin folder?

[ronnke]

FYI. A Recent FGU update broke the encumbrance calculation for the ruleset. The fix will be available within the next day via FG Forge as it only relates to FGU. There is no need for FG Classic users to update. In fact it might be the point at which future development of ruleset will be for FGU only. I will try and maintain backward compatibility with FGC for as long as possible.

The ruleset has been updated in the FG Forge. This is necessary for FG Unity users only.

Gosh! It is true! I was the one who got confused and was using my ruleset wrong!

Hey Ronnke, thanks for the update!

I'm not sure if this is a new bug or an old one, but I just noticed that when I un-equip a bow (longbow in my case) on the inventory sheet, and then re-equip the bow. the bow skill does NOT reappear in the combat > ranged weapons tab.

I am not able to reproduce this issue.

What I did.

1. Added a Ranged Weapon to my inventory
2. Equipped the item.
3. Adjusted the skill level in the Combat Tab (It's zero by default when first entered)
4. Unequipped the item in the Inventory Tab.
5. Checked to see if the item was gone from the Combat Tab. It was.
6. Equipped the item in the Inventory Tab.
7. Checked to see if the item was back in the Combat Tab. It was.
8. Checked the skill level of the various attack mode. They were as I entered them earlier.

This is what I did...Should this have reproduced the issue you are experiencing?

*Sigh* It seems to be working now. I don't know why, maybe I was just blind... or maybe its because I unloaded and loaded extensions in my troubleshooting. I don't know. Thanks. Sorry for taking up your time - a valuable resource.

[ronnke]

No probs. :)

[RuRediska]

Sorry for my english. Please tell me how to record a direct and amplitude strike into a weapon, as well as a long-range one (for example, knives), so that when transferred to the combat tab, the necessary throw modifiers are created.

[ronnke]

You must select "Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon" in the Type and then separate the various damage types with a "|" symbol. See the highlighted parts of the attacked image.

I'm not sure if this is in the ruleset or not, but I see a [warning] Could not load script file (GURPS) (itemManager2)(scripts/manager_item2.lua)

Fixed it. I will push a new update. As it's only a warning, it should not cause any problems.

[Eddie T]

How does one adjust the amount of currency in the inventory tab. I've explored everything I can think of - parcels, direct entry, add item to inventory...nothing seems to work.

[ronnke]

You should be able to simply click the currency field and then type a number. Alternatively, hold Ctrl and use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the amount.

[Eddie T]

Neither of those options are working for me. I was able to use the Modifier box in the chat box to make changes to it, though. I'm running as a player in a friend's campaign right now. He's not got any extensions other than this, Shops, and XP for GURPS.

I would try remove those extensions and see if that helps. I'm not able to reproduce your issue, so I'm guessing those extensions are probably creating the issue.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

edit: I read it wrong; I'll check tomorrow in the inventory (was just looiking at the currency option)

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

I'm not having "problems" I just have if I don't determine the name of the coin before distributing it to the players, because it counts as weight, but it doesn't show where that amount went in the character sheet, but over time I see that.

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

I added the Ammo button.
I know it's just cosmetic, but it would be really cool to have two additions for ranged attacks:
1 - Don't roll the skill if you don't have ammo
2 - Reduce the ammo from the inventory, each time it is fired.
And I still need to fix how the token addition works, but it gives a color to the items, I'm sure it does.

52088

[Eddie T]

I would try remove those extensions and see if that helps. I'm not able to reproduce your issue, so I'm guessing those extensions are probably creating the issue.

We were in the middle of the session last night and couldn't drop and remove the extensions. Or chose not to, at least. This morning, I've opened up the campaigns that I run and I don't have that behavior. My extensions are GURPS Core Unity, GURPS Adjustments, GURPS Audio, Shops and XP Awards. So I think it has something to do with his set up. Is there a control that needs to be toggled somewhere generically?

Also, am I correct in assuming that yours and Yako's extensions are different from each other? If so, can one of you explain the differences to me?

[Eddie T]

Another technical question, if you don't mind.

Under Currency Setup there are three columns: Blank (for the name/type of currency), Weight (self-explanatory), and Value.

Value doesn't seem to be able to compare to other lines in currency (i.e., 1 GP = 10 SP = 50 CP). I assume that is the GURPS standard of what this would be in $ increments?

In my i.e. example - 1 GP would be equal to $50, 1 SP = $5, and 1 CP = $1

Am I understanding the ruleset assumptions correctly?

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

Eddie T if you disable the separate extensions and just stick with the GURPS ALL-IN-ONE Extensions and the GURPS Core you will have no problem as I need to fix the individual extensions.
GURPS ALL-IN-ONE has all the individual extensions in one place.

[SceiccoNero]

Sure. Here it is:

51908
51909
51910
51911

Please help, 'cause I am getting crazy.

Can anybody help me with this? I am forced to still use GCA4 for NPC because of this single problem. Alternatively, could anybody upload the NPC plugin to the GCA updater?

Yes, they are different. I only maintain the GURPS ruleset. Yako's extensions are his own creations he has made available for the community to use. Yako would have to explain how his extension work.



Am I understanding the ruleset assumptions correctly?

Yes, that is correct.

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

My extensions is always based on the GURPS Ruleset, the only difference is the "visual" and "aesthetic"
But all the functions are the same.
Example: Roll an skill is the same way, but in one line to enable the sound thrigger.

1:40 of that video. That is precisely what i DON NOT see. I can't see the plugin inside.
It happenend the same with the PC exporter, but thanks God Armin put it inside the update manager and trough that tool I finally managed to have it visible. But with NPC? There is no way for me to see it.
Can Armin or someone else put the NPC in the Package manager? Or can you teach me how to do it myself?

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Currently that plugin is just for a previous version; we have to wait until it's updated to the newer version. Hopefully Armin will put in the next update and we won't have to worry about it anymore :)

The version he's using in the video is mentioned in the comments.

I think we are waiting for Armin (the creator of GCA5) to put the NPC package inside GCA5.

Woodman, I've been using your NPC (and PC) exporters. Thanks for your work!

I was wondering if it would be possible for the NPCs to have the "1/2 dodge and move" selector be included on their sheet (and hopefully the combat tracker), like it is in the PC sheets?

EDIT: NEVERMIND ...!!! it's there already in the combat tracker!

How are you using the NPC exporter? Since it is not in the automatic manager *and* the manual install was desinged for an older version of GCA5, I am unable to even visualize it... was the exporter updated? If yes, where can I find this new version? If no, where can I find the old GCA5 version that runs the exporter?

Thanks in advance

[seycyrus]

...If yes, where can I find this new version? If no, where can I find the old GCA5 version that runs the exporter?
Thanks in advance

My apologies. I was looking at a monster that I had exported before it became broken. It doesn't work for me either.

[SceiccoNero]

Apparently, the NPC exporter is now in GCA5. However, it is still NOT WORKING (an error occurs on GCA5 while loading).

Can we have a manual link to a stable version please?

[SceiccoNero]

Apparently, the NPC exporter is now in GCA5. Excellent.

[WoodmanX]

The Sourcecode for both exports is also available on Github https://github.com/WoodmanX/GCA5FantasyGroundsExporter with a rough description on how to make GCA compile it for you, but the current state is the exact same one that is distributed via the GCA package manager. It could throw an error if an old version is still in the "..\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 5\plugins" folder, that one should be deleted.

[SceiccoNero]

Thanks, manually removing the old one - by deleting folders - fixed it! :)

[bakakel]

Hiya - not sure if this is the best place, but i'm running into an issue with the "Extended Language Fonts" extension specifically with the GURPS ruleset. I've tried replicating the problem with the extension on CoreRPG by itself, and it only shows up since the GURPS ruleset was updated. Whenever i try to chat with a language active, the program hangs for a few seconds, and i get 3 C Stack overflow notices: Manager_chat.lua lines 95 & 120, and Manager_oob.lua line 28. Any thoughts on the best way to deal with this? Is it something i can even deal with?

Edit: The same issue is happening even with the extension disabled. Should have maybe tried that first, but at least i know it's relevant here now!

Can confirm; even if you make up a language and stick it in the languages after the fact it still blows up; normal chat is fine, as is chatting through a monster. Just languages (so far)

[ronnke]

I will have a look at this language issue.

On another note, there is a new minor update for FGU. Update via the Forge.
- Fixed 12 point token facing on hex maps.
- Added range modifier to pointers.
- Added RoF changes to handle shotguns. eg RoF 3x9

[seycyrus]

Thanks Ronnke!

[Feroand]

Thank you for adding range modifiers! It was tedious to look up the chart or use another tool to get the exact modifier.
Also, I think you added differences between yd and meter too. It always takes one point down relative to yd measure (for meter). It's a nice add-on.
We are using 1yd=1m rule. So, we stick to the yd distance suffix.

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

First of all, the cadence improvement for the shotguns was really good. But I'm curious, in the future will we be able to create races and templates directly in Fantasy Grounds?

Thanks so much, ronnke! Really appreciate it.

And just in time for my players to hear and appreciate the rumblings of Bokrug and the Ib Shades.

I think I've found a bug. With psionic powers, the effective level doesn't change as you invest points into it. It remains at the functional 1 point level regardless of points invested, or if points are reduced to 0 to test defaults. This applies to both powers in the Abilities tab and their techniques.

The ruleset doesn't do any special handling of psionic powers, they should be treated as any other skill. If it is not calculating properly, then the most likely cause is the skill/ability details are not properly configured. Click the little brown All-Seeing-Eye icon next to the skill level to check everything is correct.

Is it not supposed to be in the Powers section? When I put the power in there it doesn't calculate correctly, is what I mean. I figured psionic powers would function as a power rather than a skill.

I also don't know where to find this All-Seeing-Eye icon, if you could direct me to it.

Powers is a section of the character sheet where you can track powers, but no calculation is performed on the level and points spent....At this point...This will be added in future. If you need a calculated level then you can use the skills tab as powers, like spells, are essentially skills.

I made this post by mistake. But I cannot delete it :( Sorry!

[Feroand]

Hello all,
I have hit a snag on importing GCA characters to FGU. The process works well enough with FGC, no issues importing the same character. In GCA, I am using a data set that I found on the SJG forums. In the chat window, I type "/importchar" and it opens a file browser to select the file. Then I get a window. The line says "[ERROR] import: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 350 position 36." I was able to import a character from GCA in the past but something seems to not line up. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

EDİT: I have just figured out I replied a super old comment :D I am sorry. But, if any of you need this information, it's here for you.
Hello there.
I am not sure but I believe I have encountered this problem before. As far as I know, there is a difference between how FGU and GCS handle "special characters." When there are & or any other special characters in the character sheet, this problem occurs. You can manually search for & in GCS, if you find it you may change it to something like this "&amp" without quotes or anything you like ("and" can work too). If this doesn't work, you can open the file with a text editor (notepad can do this, I believe) and CTRL+F, and "find and change" the symbol &. You can change it "and" or anything you want.

At least, this is the solution for my GCS importing problems. I believe it can work for GCA too.

I am sorry for my bad English, I hope I could explain my thoughts.

NOTE: "EntityName. Line 350 position 36" is the coordinates of the broken character in the XML file. "Line 350" means row 350, "position 36" means 36th character of that row. But, there may be more after this one too. So, CTRL+F would be better.

[Nexos]

Hope you are all doing well!

I dropped the coin and got the entire new fancy dice bundle.

I loaded a campaign with GURPS No Dice and GURPSCore activated.

The dice that appear are a d6 and a d100.

They appear to overlap on the Mod box. If you move the cursor to an area just beyond the upper right corner of the d6, you should see a lock icon appear and then can unlock and reposition the the dice tray to the right.

The dice appear larger.

The various visual effects of the dice appear to be working properly.

I haven't looked to see if the Dice Tower is in anyway impacted by the new, larger dice and their position, although if I remember correctly the dice tower can be unlocked and repositioned.

[Moon Wizard]

The GURPS ruleset will need to be updated to modify the dice position, and disable the d100.

Here's an example from WOIN for the dice position above the modifier stack:


<panel name="dicepanel" merge="join">
<anchored>
<left offset="0" />
<top anchor="bottom" offset="-175" />
</anchored>
</panel>


Here's the example from 5E for shifting the dice position to the right:


<panel name="dicepanel" merge="join">
<anchored>
<left offset="210" />
</anchored>
</panel>


Here is the code to hide the "d100", but leave it in the ruleset:


<die name="d100">
<icon>d10icon</icon>
<menuicon>percent</menuicon>
</die>


OR here's the code to remove "d100" completely:


<die name="d100" merge="delete" />
<die name="r100" merge="delete" />
<die name="g100" merge="delete" />
<die name="b100" merge="delete" />
<die name="p100" merge="delete" />

Thank you for the speedy update, ronnke :)

In other news: I had some money to throw away, so I decided to buy the bundle with all the new FG animated dice (on Steam you get a small discount). Amazing effects, very nicely done. There is just one small problem that I didn't anticipate: they are nearly invisible over the white chatbox background of the GURPS theme ^^"

I love the metal dice, but I think the effect dice are just a little too much for my liking.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a bug in Per; the listed per of a character is like 376058 or something (although, most of the time, it rolls the correct value). If you change it to 10, for example, it stays at 10 for a roll or two then either goes to 0 or back to the crazy number (seeing the butthole of an ant 2 parsecs away :) ) . Per is the only one that I've noticed it on, and it's in all the Per blocks, not just the main page.

Thanks!
Fezzik

[RevenantBob]

Fezzik

I have not noticed this and I tried to reproduce the issue, but could not. Is it the same on all N/PCs or just a particular character? Are you running any particular extensions? Try running without them. Failing that, zip up and send me the campaign db file and I'll see if I can see anything there.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Not seeing it on the main tab, but the picture is what I'm seeing on the abilities; last night it was that number on all the per. I've tried it without any extensions at all, and it still occurs. The only difference between today and last night is that players had their characters owned and when I looked at their sheets, that number was gibbled. I couldn't replicate the main page. Most of the time it rolled properly last night -- it was session 0 so mostly it was just getting used to everything.
55338

Ok, I had to reimport one character and the main page did display the weird number, as did the rest of the Per based skill and the other per slots -- most of the characters had been imported last night, and not before (ie. There was no restart of the server between import and playing)

Could be a GCS problem? (I know FGU doesn't seem to like containers :) ie. racial template containers, adv/dis containers etc.)

I was wrong, it rolls against 9 no matter what the skill should be; if the per box is clicked it rolls against the proper per.

I'm thinking (in my rudementary experience and idiocy :) ) that it's a problem with the /importchar?

Going to try a GCA and see if that is gibbled too.

The one GCA I did worked perfectly fine, so I'm thinking something weird with GCS

An older of GCS Doesn't do this, so something wonky with the new GCS xmls?

GCS is exporting incorrectly. Unfortunately, I don't use GCS and I'm not familiar with its export files. Until the exporter is fixed, you'll have to manually edit the xml file and fix the PER before importing into FG.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

Thanks! I can't remember who did the GCS export for him (Richard Wilkes); I thought I'd see a post somewhere, but I didn't see anything from the first two pages.

As long as they don't go nuts with PER skills, it's not a horrible problem :)

[ronnke]

Is there a GCS community on discord or something of the sort. Perhaps the issue could be brought up there. I will install GCS on the weekend and dig around to see what I can work out.

[ronnke]

Here is the CGS thread. Nose66 was the creator of the GCS exporter.

Ronnke, There is an extension to lock the character sheet. It is primarily meant to be used in D&D 5E, but on the forge it now says it is compatible with the latest CoreRPG. Since the GURPS ruleset is also based on Core, would it be possible somehow make this work with Gurps?

I assume it will work, but obviously I can't guarantee it. However, it should be possible to make it work.

If this is for the Trust Issues extension it will not work with anything other than 5E.

Thanks for the reply Damned - yes that was what I was referring to. I guess I misread the statement on the forge about the compatibility with the latest corerpg updates.

The extension locks very specific field names and entries in specific named lists etc. These vary massively between different game system implementations. The CoreRPG changes referenced were Currency and Inventory. Sorry for any confusion.

Sounds ambitious! Would this take different damage types (cut, imp etc.) and body location into account?

If so, would it be possible for you to leave in a variable into the calculation for edge resistance?

[ronnke]

Yes it will factor types and location. I'm not sure what you mean by edge resistance.

[seycyrus]

Yes it will factor types and location. I'm not sure what you mean by edge resistance.

I meant edge protection, not edge resistance. Basically it is meant to offer a buffer level before the damage type modifiers kick in ( the 1.5x for cutting, 2x for impaling) etc. It represents, not only the increased resistance of certain types of metal armor to cutting, but can also be applied to certain types of type weave cloth to arrows.

Edge protection has been discussed in various places on the web, but at the moment, I can't recall what might be considered "the best".

Does edge protection ring a bell with you at all?

[ronnke]

Does edge protection ring a bell with you at all?

Not really. I know you can have split DR, so for example chainmail will provide DR 3 for crushing attacks and DR 4 for all other types... That will be addressed in the damage calculation.

There seems to be a bug with techniques, or I have no idea what I'm doing. I setup counter attack as shown in the screenshot and it is calculating completely wrong.

You have 6 points set in the Bonus Points field, this is added to skill points, so in effect you are spending 12pts on the technique. Set the Bonus Points to 0 and it should calculate correctly.

and the effects themselves are not usable:

57745

Will look into it.

This has been fixed.

The ruleset has been updated for FG Unity.

GURPS 4e Ruleset v3.10.2 - 19th Jun 2023 (FG Unity Only)

I can confirm this is working now. Thanks!

ronnke,

This may have been discussed but Search isn't turning it up and I'm not scouring 141 pages. Is token scaling like in the 5e ruleset possible? I know I can control the size of a token manually, but being able to set it on the NPC card would be phenomenal.

Search should be working as this is feature comes from CoreRPG. In which section specifically are you trying to search (items/abilities/traits/etc)? And, yes, token scaling is supported. Make sure the auto scaling is set in the options, and you have an appropriate value in the N/PC Size Modifier field.

Sorry, I mean the Search function for the forum. I tried to look for token and scale and size and too many threads popped up. In this thread there are 141 pages.

For token scaling, I misspoke. I meant the Size and Reach options in the Combat Tracker from the 5e rules. Is there a way to pull them over? Is that CoreRPG and not you?

The size and scaling is available in the GURPS ruleset. If you adjust the SM and Reach values then it is reflected on the combat maps with the different highlight zones. For PC's you need to re-add them to the combat tracker for changes to take effect. This is probably something I can fix.

This would be really helpful.

I don't imagine PC size modifier and reach change often, but I have it on my list of changes.

[seycyrus]

I don't imagine PC size modifier and reach change often, but I have it on my list of changes.

My players with spear are ALWAYS changing their reach. Multiple times per session.

[ronnke]

Ahhhh. Maybe it would be better to do a proper implementation of Weapon Reach over character reach. Hmmm. I will give some thought to that.

[seycyrus]

Ahhhh. Maybe it would be better to do a proper implementation of Weapon Reach over character reach. Hmmm. I will give some thought to that.

Isn't that what happens already? I see that SM and Weapon reach are combined to create effective character reach.

The only issue seems to be that it does not get updated live for PCs as it does with NPCs.

I just noticed that the layer visibility option "Visible only to GM" is not there anymore (all I have is Visible / Invisible). Is this intended?

[ronnke]

I just noticed that the layer visibility option "Visible only to GM" is not there anymore (all I have is Visible / Invisible). Is this intended?

This is correct. If you don't want players to see the layer, then you can unshare single layers.

[Nexos]

This is correct. If you don't want players to see the layer, then you can unshare single layers.

Oh, I used to use that feature to paint visual notes on battlemaps (complementary to pins), such as PNG planned movements and so on. But I suppose not many others were doing the same :)

[jwatmough]

The system has been separated between visibility and shared; you will now see that there is an Icon to the left of the visibility icon on each layer. That is the shared Icon; uncheck to make the layer only for the GM. Thus all of the old functionality is still present, just in an easier way cleaner way of interacting.

Ronnke,

Do you have documentation for the GURPS 4E ruleset regarding module creation for the advantages/disadvantages/skills/powers/etc.? I am trying to wrap my head around how to "automate" drag and drop into the character sheet as well as loading the module for both GM and players in future GURPS campaigns. Is there any reference material, tutorials, or anything of that nature that could help understand how to do this?

I do need to provide an update to it but https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51192-FG-GURPS-Mod-Maker-for-drag-n-drop-items was made to do this. The basics are still the same but I had to make some changes for the latest updates and I haven't shared those yet. Partially because I haven't been able to get back to it and partially because I never got an answer to my last question (which I've since decided to just live with it the way it works for me).

I don't think there is a way yet to mass load up the skills/advantages/etc other than something like what I have there but I will admit I think my portion still needs some love before it's great. There may be other ways to accomplish it but if they are better I would also like to know about them.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation for the GURPS ruleset side of things. The loading of modules and such is standard across all rulesets for FG, there will be information and/or videos of that in the FG documentation and YouTube channel. As Jaxilon mentioned, he has created an awesome utility to create modules for skills, traits and equipment. This will do a lot of the hard work for you.

[t3xx3r]

Perfect. That makes my job a lot easier as a GM.

I will test out Jaxilon's program as I've watched his two videos regarding using his GURPSMM.

[t3xx3r]

Where did you find this "XML exporter" for GCA 5 as you've listed in the video on YouTube? I downloaded every single export option for FG and others but none of them show an XML export option.

[seycyrus]

Where did you find this "XML exporter" for GCA 5 as you've listed in the video on YouTube? I downloaded every single export option for FG and others but none of them show an XML export option.

"Optional packages" when you update GCA5.

[t3xx3r]

GCA 5 XML file exports are not the same as GCA 4 XML file exports. GCA 5 now exports complicated XML code that GURPSMM cannot read. The GURPSMM can only read GCA 4 XML code, as indicated from Jaxilon's video.

[Jaxilon]

It seems like he did add the ability to xml export like GCA4 already but I did create an exporter that I used for myself based on WoodmanX's GCA5FAntasyGroundsExporter. I'd share it but I'm uncertain if I can do so because in WoodmanX's plugin he tagged it with copyright to himself. I'll have to see if I can get permission from him I guess.

edit: but I don't see how to get ahold of him.

[t3xx3r]

Sounds like WoodmanX has abandoned the GCA5FantasyGroundsExporter himself. You can either learn to program a new exporter that can help export a lot of things or find a way to improve that exporter. Maybe asking around on Discord might yield some results in finding WoodmanX.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I guess I'll just credit him for helping me see how to do it and post my version. I'm not much of a git hub user so I'll have to fiddle around with that later this week if I can.

Are you working on finding a way to export Advantages, disadvantages, or skills that may require "user input" to finalize the deal? These seen to be refusing to be exported with the module in question.

[Jaxilon]

Good luck with that.

I don't want to hijack this thread too much with things for the FGMM so I'll just say, I think you always have to have "user input" because some things have prerequisites that a based on how your world is setup. For myself, I would like to be able to create a "Book" of Advantages/Disadvantages/Skills/Etc that works just like Equipment does. For further questions/discussion please post in the Drag-N-Drop thread.

I've pushed another update to the FG Forge, to fix a minor GURPSCore theme issue.

[Nexos]

Thanks ronnke! :)

Would you or someone be able to provide me a link for the FG Forge item? I just realized I was still using the .ext file (v0.6) and Forge's search bar is not proving very useful, for some reason.

The skin is included as part of the ruleset. If you have the ruleset in FG Forge, then when you update FG, it will also update the skin.

[Nexos]

Uhm, I'm a bit confused.

This is what the theme used to look like: 58819
This is how the ruleset looks like if I load it without selecting a theme: 58818

Am I doing something wrong?

[Padre Moto]

Hi,

Have you loaded GURPS Core Theme v0.7.2? I think if you have a sub to the ruleset in Forge, that theme should update automatically as well?

Here is what I have selected on the campaign creation window, and what it produces when it initializes.

Thanks for the pointer. My problem is that I cannot for the life of mine find the GurpsCore theme on Forge. Do you have a link to it?

EDIT: just to clarify, I don't have "Theme: GurpsCore-U" in my available Extensions and I was running v0.6 by manually loading the .ext file.

[Padre Moto]

Is the link to the updated GurpsCore not listed on the first page in this thread?

I don't think the theme is on the Forge as a separate item. I believe it is built-in to the GURPS ruleset.

Hope that helps?

I don't have "Theme: GurpsCore-U" in my available Extensions. If I load the .ext file included in the first page of this thread, I get the v0.6 theme. If I load the ruleset without the theme, it will load up like the picture that I have attached to my previous post.
Not really sure on how to proceed...

Do you have the GURPS Ruleset form the FG Forge?

The Theme: GURPSCore-U is included as additional assets of the GURPS Ruleset. So as long as you get the ruleset from the FG Forge, then you should also have the theme available to you.

I would maybe suggest you go to the FG folder on your PC delete(or backup) the following files:

.\GURPS.pak
.\Extensions\GURPSCore-U.ext
.\Extensions\GURPSNoDice.ext
.\Modules\GURPS Assets.mod

Restart Fantasy Grounds, and then click the Check for Updates button. All the above files should then be re-downloaded from the FG Forge with the latest versions.

I just noticed that I am no longer able to roll from an NPC sheet, either into the dice tower or into the open chat. I see the dice roll, but no result is displayed. I am able to roll combat type stuff from the npc in the combat tracker however.

I have disabled all extensions and still have no luck. Have also toggled the various settings in the options tab, without any luck.

No those were added manually. But I guess it could be possible to have GCA5 export them. Hmmmm... :)

[seycyrus]

Good evening, I hope things are well.

On my NPC sheets, there is no longer a block for Parry and Dodge, next to Block, at the top of the combat tab. How long has it been this way? Is it intentional?

I see that too: the Parry and Dodge values are missing. I also notice that on the Main tab, any Reaction data has bee removed, as well as the place where you could list traits beneath it.

Thanks for looking into this. On another (perhaps related?) note ... I thought that previously one of my players could control (move it around on the map) an NPC (his wolf companion) if I dragged the NPC onto his character portrait. Was this functionality lost as well?

The ruleset has been updated for FG Unity.


GURPS 4e Ruleset v3.10.3 - 19th Nov 2023 (FG Unity Only)
- Fixed: FG/CoreRPG breaking changes.
- Fixed: Inventory location equip/unequip.
- Minor other changes.

[seycyrus]

No, it was not, but they can move it around if you make it "green/friendly" in the combat tracker.
...

So, I was playing around with this and I am not sure if it quite the way I remember it...

As it is now,

1) Add NPC to combat tracker. (Change to Green/Friendly)
2) Share NPC with PC by dragging from CT to PC portrait.
3) PC places the NPC token on the map from the NPC sheet that was opened when the NPC was shared.
-> NPC can be moved by PC

Note that with this method, I cannot seem to just add a light to the NPC in the combat tracker by using the lights on the "effects" tab. But I am able to add light to the NPC using the commands on the map itself.

I use the "Theme: GURPSCore-U" and that doesn't seem to have the issue.

(aka, baited breath :D)

[Jaxilon]

Sorry to double post and I hate adding to the load, but I think I have come across another bug.

If you create an NPC monster, say a Dire Wolf, everything works peachy. You can go to the Combat or Abilities tab and click on the attacks and skills and the die rolls show up in the chat panel perfectly.

However, if you export the NPC via the Modules>Export button (like you might do if you want to include your beastiary in another adventure session) and then Activate that NPC module the Combat & Abilities rolls no longer display on the chat panel.

I suspect this is an issue with the export functionality but it could be in the module import. I don't have a working beastiary module to verify with.

If you need any clarification let me know, I can go as far as creating a video of the issue if needed but I think it's pretty easy to replicate.

[Fezzik Buttercup]

That sounds a lot like the one I mentioned in the Olympus group; I think there are some work arounds that worked. Mostly doing it from the combat tracker character popup sheet instead of the sheet from NPC

https://discord.com/channels/354779128668487681/648936733194584065/1177005610122870815

Yes it was, but only to fix CoreRPG issues. A full update is due soon which will add new features.

[Eddie T]

ronnke,

Will one of the new features be token sizing like for the D&D rulesets - i.e., small, medium, large? I can't upload an attachment or a screenshot for some reason but if you reference this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibr8cncALsI at the 3:11 mark, you can see the green and red squares around tokens denoting they take up 1x1 squares or 2x2 squares.

I know that I can scale with the mouse wheel, but it would be great to be able to set the image size class in the character block - PC or NPC.

TIA!

TIA!You're not talking about the "reach" but the actual token itself? I know the reach works (incorrectly—SM1 doesn't automatically go to a 2-yd-radius in GURPS)

[ronnke]

Token scaling to SM and Reach are features that already exists in the ruleset. You will need to have a value in the SM and Reach fields of the PC/NPCs when you drop the character tokens on a map. You will also need to have the Auto Scale Token option enabled for the token itself to scale. If the Auto Scale Token option is set to off then the token will not scale, but the green and red Size and Reach circles will scale.

[Eddie T]

Awwww!!! You are correct, sih! (You wrote it so of course you are!)

I missed it somehow. Thanks for correcting me straight. Does the scaling on SM go off of the minimum for that SM? Or max? Or somewhere in between?

[ronnke]

It goes off the minimum, but GURPS is a little bit handwavy about SM specifics. A 12ft python by GURPS standards would be a SM 2 creature. It's longest dimension makes it SM 2....but is it really the same size as a wagon, which is also SM 2, or as easy to hit as that wagon?????

Agreed. And it doesn't really matter if something like a mecha is 30 feet tall if you're looking straight down and trying to block off it's square footage for a battlemap.

Did anyone have a chance to test the new FG 4.5.0 release? I have a game tonight so I'm not planning to update unless somebody else has already tried it out and can give a green light.

There is an issue. I'm in the process of fixing it. So I recommend you don't update for your game tonight. Unless I fix it before your game.

Ruleset updated.

FYI. The GURPSCore Theme still has a number of issue which will be fixed when Gigermann can get around to it. The FG default skins work fine.


GURPS 4e Ruleset v3.11.1 - 9th Mar 2024 (FG Unity Only)
- Fixed: FG/CoreRPG (Ver 4.5) breaking changes.

The GURPSCore skin has been updated (ver 0.74) to fix the most critical issues. It requires more work, but this will happen at a later stage. Remember, the default FG themes work fine if you are having trouble with the GURPSCore theme.

[ronnke]

Another update to the GURPSCore theme is available.

[ronnke]

A new ruleset update is available.


GURPS 4e Ruleset v3.12.0 - 12th Mar 2024 (FG Unity Only)
- Fixed: Minor FG/CoreRPG (Ver 4.5) breaking changes.
- Added: Ability to output Traits, Abilities, Items, Vehicles, and Notes to the chat window.
- Other: Refactored ruleset code bring it inline with FG/CoreRPG changes.

Good evening. Does anyone else have problems with the FG "calendar" functionality? I get a bunch of errors whenever I click on dates etc. Not sure how long this has been going on...

Nope. No errors for me.

Hellow, ronnke. Thank you for your work!

At the moment, when the face indicator is turned on, the tokens do not rotate, when it is turned off, they rotate.
Is it possible to make individual switching buttons for tokens or a hotkey that was pressed to switch from the front indicator to the rotation of the token?
