Brand new to FG - questions to deveop a ruleset/module

[Xarxus]

Hi, I'm a newbie on FG. I would like to develop a ruleset for the game that I have been running for years with some friends. It's a personal rpg. In this pandemic period it would be perfect to be able to use FG.

I started developing a ruleset and a module and I've understood something, but I'm really at the beginning. I tried to do a bit of research but I've not found the things I am about to ask, I hope this is the right place.

What I would like to do now is add the races. I saw that in the CoreRPG there is no trace of it in the library. I guess I need to put the data inside a list in the module, but then I stop. So here are the questions.

1. How do I make the ruleset read them when I load the module?
2. How do I generate a window (and perhaps a class) with the list?
3. How do I develop a detail window with the statistics?
4. Is there a dedicated forum (or reference guides) for rulesets / modules developers?

(edited: there were two point 3. :D )

Here are links to the Developer's Guide on our wiki. The main thing to remember is that it's not written as a tutorial, but more as a reference. Your best bet is to crack things open on examples, and start making small changes.

Ty, I'll give a look!
I'v already opened 2 rulset but the way these use races are (by now) complex, I've to understand the process.

You could look at how I implemented races and classes in MoreCore
This should give you a bit of a starting point.
Most things are LOGGED rather than actioned.
If you want to look at a more advanced version but less complex than 5E have a look at the Low Fantasy Gaming version.


Also some videos:

Oh, really ty. I'll see them!

Edit: and I start from the 1st. I do not want to loose something important. I'm a real newbie in FG. ;)

I think I guessed what <labelres> and char_label_race are, but I don't find any trace of them anywhere.
Is there a way override the char_label_race default value?
Where do I find a list of these variables (or constants)?

Hi Xarxus

Please be aware that this video series was based on layering on MoreCore which is in turn layered on CoreRPG
When working with layered rulesets/extensions you sometimes need to check through all of them

If you are new to FG and FG coding you might start with the non MoreCore tutorials - and start with
