My english is slightly limited, so i will make this as objetive as possible. Here it goes:


- I have a Mage: the Ascension ruleset.
- A new player decided he wants to play as a Changelling.
- I've made a Changelling extension that changes the Mage sheet for the Changelling sheet.
- However, this changes all the ruleset sheets to the new layout.

What would you suggest to fix this issue? I know there's a nWod ruleset wich a right-click on portrair opens a radial menu that allows to change the sheet layout. I've tried to learn from its code, but its heavy LUA based and i could not translate a similar interface to my ruleset (i have zero LUA knowledge... all my ruleset knowledge comes from try and error).

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately not. All extensions must be loaded by the GM when they start up their server session.

What if i have the changelling charsheet xml files in a subfolder on ruleset/campaign/changelling? Could i create another button in the character select window that would create a changelling sheet instead of the standard one?

Probably but its not as simple as what you are suggesting... you are back at the coding requirement...

Ok, i managed to do this: If i'm the host and ctrl-click a character in the character selection screen, i load the changelling sheet... If i just left-click the character, it loads the standard sheet. (I know...its not the most elegant solution, but it works...)

However, this will work only if i'm the host. If a player ctrl-click his char in the desktop, it loads the standard sheet... So my question is: Where can i find the file or script responsible for that? (to load a character sheet when you left-click it in the fantasy grounds desktop)

Edit: Sorry...i have forgotten to mention the base ruleset is CORE RPG.
