Moderators: Please change thread name to Mutant Crawl Classics… and sticky if you don’t mind;)

I’m working on the first update, which will include a new archaic alignment record for the data library. These can be dropped to the Main tab of the char sheet and will add a link to the alignment record. I am also consolidating the core rules into a single module to avoid duplication of library data. I’m going to merge some of the DCC ruleset changes including the 0-level char generator and improve compatibility with DCC char sheets for crossover games.

[Updated] Mutant, Manimal, and Plantient appearance or subtype added to Notes tab when occupation dropped to char sheet.

I submitted an update for the MCC ruleset (see list above).

I spent some time working on crossover compatibility for DCC characters, and it was not exactly difficult but definitely more complicated than I hoped to integrate deed dice, magic, and other DCC fields into the MCC char sheet. Depending on how many groups are playing crossover games, I can tackle this project at some point in the future, but I put this one back on the shelf for now.

Happy gaming!
Leo

It looks like 2 of the Archaic Alignments are missing, The Curators and the Atomic Equinox. Also, I'm getting an error when trying to use the effects for permanent mutations.

[leozelig]

Thanks for the report drudi002. I’ll take a look at it.

[leozelig]

I see the problem with the effects and will have that fixed in the next day or two. I noticed some overlapping labels on the power record, so of course I'll fix that. The two missing archaic alignments will be included with this update as well.

Thanks again for the bug report drudi002. You should see the updates by next Tuesday on the Live channel, sooner on the Test channel.

Happy gaming!

[drudi002]

I found another. It looks like the pyrokinesis mutation is not working correctly when you add it to the character sheet. There are no check or effect buttons.

[leozelig]

Thanks for the report drudi002! A fix is on hold for now due to pending CoreRPG updates, but I will have this ready to go.

[leozelig]

Submitted an update today...

MCC RPG v12-20-2021 (release 3)
[Fixed] Actions not populating for mutation ‘pyrokinesis’ when dropped to Actions tab on char sheet.
[Fixed] Script error when dragging an attack roll from chat window to combat tracker or token target.
[Fixed] NPCs dropped to combat tracker do not roll d16 initiative die when option selected on NPC record.
[Fixed] Combat tracker effect durations decreasing by 2 each round.
[Fixed] ‘Armor Class:’ label truncated in Combat Calc dialog box linked on Main tab of char sheet. Label reverted to ‘Armor:’.
[Fixed] Wrong power table result displays when mutation or program check roll is not a natural 1 (ie, fumble) but total is less than or equal to 1 due to modifiers.
[Fixed] Slash command /funnel not adding weapons to Actions tab.
[Fixed] Slash command /funnel not adjusting AC for armor items.
[Fixed] Script error for birth sign ‘The Backup Disk’ when using slash command /funnel.
[Updated] Missing table error message now includes table name.
[Updated] Duration added to onHover display for mini action buttons.
[Updated] Improved parsing of NPC special properties for resistance, vulnerability, and immunity effects when dropped to combat tracker.
[Updated] Items with type (or subtype) equal to ‘artifact’ are unidentified when dropped from data library to Inventory tab on char sheet.
[Added] Two-weapon fighting and backstab options added to Weapons section of Actions tab.
[Added] Modifier button created for d16 initiative die (when two-handed weapon equipped).
[Added] Actions parsing of results table for custom powers.
[Added] Functionality for two-weapon fighting and backstab according to the DCC core rules.

Nothing crazy, mostly just cleaning things up and making sure the slash command /funnel is doing everything it can. The ruleset does have some DCC features like the d16 initiative die for two-handed weapons, two-weapon fighting rules, and backstab functionality even though these are not technically in the MCC core rules. I assume these are universal game mechanics in the DCC/MCC multiverse.

[leozelig]

I’m going to update the sidebar soon with some more MCC-appropriate icons. The mutations and programs need to be moved to the player category also. Look for that in the next couple weeks.

Leozelig,

When I first looked for MCC on Fantasy Grounds, it was not on the Fantasy Grounds store.. but it was on the Goodman-Games store. So I purchased it there, not knowing any better. How do I activate it? I have a product code but I don't see anywhere to add that to my FGC or FGU?

[ddavison]

Go to the main store on this site and then use the menu for Store > Activate a product key

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/activateKey.php

[Locotomo]

The Store button is not opening anything.51647

[leozelig]

Hi Locomoto. Thank you for reporting your issue with the store button. I will look into it and post an update soon.

[leozelig]

The store button does not link to anything - I will work on fixing that for the next update. In the meantime, you'll need to open a web browser and visit the store page the traditional way:

[leozelig]

Thank you rathen45. I submitted a fix just now.

Hopefully someone can help

When I run a combat all seems to be fine except when I score a critical hit with a creature using the Robots and Artificial life forms table?

The message i get is the table can not be found or needs activation ?

Is there anything I can try to resolve this

Thanks

Andy

[leozelig]

Thanks for reporting. I will check that and let you know if it’s a bug or if specific syntax is needed.

EDIT: Submitted a fix, working now.

thx for the work on this ruleset- so much fun to play...

/funnell 4 username wasn't working for me today - it created the sheets but the players didn't see them...

also, two weapon fighting didn't seem to work the same way as it does in dcc...

also having a weird issue with sirmotte's theme when opening npc stat blocks - figured I would mention it here (error msg attached)

many thx!54709

Thanks for the bug report macDsinfo - I will take a look at these.

[SirMotte]

Thanks for the bug report macDsinfo - I will take a look at these.

Found my way here as well. I've only seen this error with Silent Ruins Death Indicator Extension, therefore I was wondering if some functionality was incorporated into the ruleset by chance.
Otherwise there's an extension conflict present.

[Moon Wizard]

@macDsinfo, @SirMotte,

Those fields do not exist in the DCC/MCC ruleset code; so they are coming from an extension.

Regards,
JPG

[macDsinfo]

many thx for checking in here with us...

actually, I believe it is something sirmotte put in his theme to accomodate a particular extension author, not from an extension I was running (I wasn't running any)...

[macDsinfo]

on another note, in the Hive the Overmind adventure, there is reference to p181 in the Rulebook. now, the fgu modules/rulesets do not have pages like that. I am trying to find what it is referencing. in the adventure module, it is to detail rules re: the ant saliva mutation, which I assume is a defect mutation, but p181 in the second printing of the rule book is in the artifacts chapter, referring to misc. artifacts like the multi-tool and rejuvchamber...


edit to add: in the Hive the Overmind ref manual, it lists the fusion chamber as B6, yet on the map, and the pin, it looks to be B3...

I'm addressing this issue here: MCC #1 Thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?74020-MCC-1-Hive-of-the-Overmind)

[leozelig]

I submitted an update today, mostly syncing with DCC updates from the past few months. These are mostly minor feature updates, but I did improve the import functionality for DCC characters. The only thing that isn’t quite the same is the deed die. For simplicity, I assigned the deed die to the artifact die since this functions the same for attacks. You would just leave it disabled in the tech subwindow (no die bonus for artifact checks).

MCC RPG ruleset v2022-12-02 (release 5):

[Fixed] Effects added to combat tracker remove plus sign after ‘NOTE:’ label.
[Fixed] Ability scores in party sheet display as 0 for new characters.
[Updated] Blank non-ID name defaults to ‘Unidentified item’ to match case format for other items.
[Updated] NPC powers list in combat tracker sorted by name instead of order created.
[Updated] DIESAVE effect modifier recognized as alternative to DIESAV.
[Updated] NPC effects for immunity, resistance, and vulnerability group multiple damage types under same effect type – for example, ‘RESIST: cold, fire’ instead of ‘RESIST: cold; RESIST: fire’.
[Updated] Initiative modifier displays for traps and hazards if non-zero value.
[Updated] PROG and MUT effect modifiers accept name filter.
[Updated] Casting table results accept a shortcut link, which displays with chat message when 'Show casting table results' option is enabled.
[Updated] NPC special property ‘regenerate X’ recognized as alternative to ‘regeneration X’, where X is a number or dice clause, which auto-populates as REGEN effect when NPC dropped to combat tracker.
[Updated] Damage types to align with DCC ruleset.
[Updated] Casting table results accept a shortcut link, which displays with chat message text when 'Show casting table results' option is enabled.
[Added] Luck die field for imported DCC characters (remains invisible for MCC characters).
[Added] Damage triggers concentration check when ‘(C)’ is appended to effect description.
[Added] Tooltips for 2-weapon fighting and backstab checkboxes under 'Attacks' header on Actions tab.
[Added] Backstab functionality on Actions tab as for DCC ruleset.
[Added] NPC target with special property ‘immune to critical hits’ does not trigger automatic crit roll. Override generates chat notification.
[Added] Link to store page.
[Added] GM houserule options for ability score generation using different dice rolling methods. Default is 3d6. Alternatives are 4d6 drop lowest, the Tatterdemalion’s Tampering, and the Sezrekan method.
[Added] Imported DCC characters convert to MCC as follows: (1) artifact check bonus auto-populates from core rules table; (2) spell check becomes program check; (3) invoke patron, divine aid, turn unholy, and all level 2+ cleric spells are marked as cast (i.e., invisible in combat mode); (4) deed die becomes artifact die; and (5) luck die field is visible if populated.

The Purple Sorcerer website has more info on Tatterdemalion's Tampering and the Sezrekan method for generating ability scores if you are curious. You will also be able to access the DCC core rules module from the MCC ruleset. Post here or on Discord if you have any problems - mention @leozelig#0361 for a faster response on Discord ;)

many thanks! is the "/funnel 4 username" command working? "/funnel 20" works, for example, but I haven't been able to assign. multiple sheets to specific users. am I doing something wrong? thx again.

As long as the user is connected to the server, and the names match exactly, it should work. The username is case-sensitive. Let me know if that info doesn’t resolve the issue, and I’ll check it out.

We found a bug last night from the random dice gods.

The Mutation 'Heightened Strength' is currently programmed to add bonus effects to STA vice STR.

Ah, good catch! I will patch that up, thanks for the report.

[leozelig]

Update submitted:

[Fixed] Effect actions for 'heightened strength' mutation apply stamina bonus instead of strength.

Note that the patch notes say heightened *senses* instead of strength, which is just a typo on my part ;)
