Super Powers Companion (SWADE) Bug Reports and Feedback

[Jiminimonka]

Super Powers Companion (SWADE) (https://affiliates.fantasygrounds.com/316093/15958/url_26586) on the FG Store.

Super Powers Adventure Card Deck (https://affiliates.fantasygrounds.com/316093/15958/url_26585) is now also on the FG Store.

Please note, the extension: Setting: Super Powers Companion (SWADE) has to be loaded for the Bases (previous editions called them Headquarters) to be unlocked.

I am aware the theme for SPC will not play nice with some other themes, so I will probably add another version that works better on dark themes, shortly after release.

DO NOT load the old extension Feature: Super Powers Companion Headquarters

Please post any issues you find and give feedback. Thanks

[Jiminimonka]

This is now awaiting Steam approval, so hopefully not much longer

Release is pegged for 25th October!

[RobG]

Cool :-)

Is this happening today?

[Jiminimonka]

Cool :-)

Is this happening today?

It is on the FG update system and ready to go, but wait for the announcement, it has to also go live on Steam at the same time as it goes live on the FG Store. 24 hours is a long time if you are staring at a clock (so is 1 minute).... Soon™ :)

[RobG]

Is it there yet? :-P

Our group have played Savage Worlds with the SPC heaps, so looking forward to this :-)

I am at work, you tell me. :)

Probably waiting on Valve.

Ughh - well maybe next week then, it is not in the weekly releases email I just got. Must be waiting on Valve. It is ready to go on Smiteworks side for sure.

[RobG]

ok, no worries, thanks for the update :-)

[Antithesis]

I just wanted to let the interested know, it's available in the store.

Woot! Thanks for the update. At work currently so not had time to check.

[RobG]

Awesome :-D

[Jiminimonka]

Just sent up a Hotfix... Upgrades do not have Cost, it snuck back in some how.

[ChoTimberwolf]

It would be awesome if the SPC powers also had the effects added like the SWADE powers.
Example SWADE:
5496554965
Because Supers has different levels a one catch all effect wouldnt work, my idea would be that it has a "fillable" part in the effect.

Example armor:
...While trying it out I found out it doesnt work quite as I hoped because the powers are locked, still you could drag the effect and adding the missing number would be faster than looking up how to create the needed effect.

Thanks for your great work

[nandoalves]

HI. Nice work!
But NPC's derived stats will need to be revised. Using the Crusader example, he has Parry 19, but automatically parry bonuses from Block and Holy Longsword are applied, increasing parry to 26 on Combat Tracker.

How about adding a warning in chat about the knockback rule? When an average character takes 20 damage the chat warns that the rule applies, for example.

Thanks. Might be better just removing some of the effects from the Combat tab on the NPCs. Since Crusader (as your example) is only Crusader with the Sword, his Parry is always going to be that high.

The knockback thing sounds interesting, and one day I might learn how to do it, but for now, players and GM will have to remember ;)

EDIT: Looks like only 2 NPCS had [effects] in their attacks. Removed those. The patch won't be for a couple of weeks though, doing some other stuff for Supers too, so will push it all up together.

agreed, i wanted to add heavy armor so i had to build my own effect

[Jiminimonka]

I better re-iterate this - DO NOT run this with the extension "Feature: Super Powers Companion" run it with "Setting: Super Powers Companion (SWADE)" - the other one (for those with the old SPC) will cause some conflicts with the new SPC (SWADE).

Can you apply that extension for Savage Pathfinder? I play SPC with a fantasy setting.

[Jiminimonka]

Ok. Uploaded a hotfix

[Jiminimonka]

I have added a new power "Transformation" - this is so the characters with Transformation can more easily apply the effects of the transformation with a click of the effect button.

The Effect will have to be altered for each character.

This should show up in next Tuesdays update.

[goodmanje]

I found an issue with how some of the NPCs are setup. Take Brimstone for example... His Damage Field and Ranged Attack are setup under "Attacks" instead of powers so there is no way to make him roll Focus for those attacks. The PDF has Focus listed for his ranged attack. Currently it uses Shooting for his Ranged Attack and Athletics for Damage Field. I haven't checked any other NPCs for the same problem yet.

Thanks.

Damage Field is not an attack, it is an effect around him that burns everything that comes close.

I have fixed the Ranged Attack to a Power.

[Jiminimonka]

With the Setting: Super Powers Companion (SWADE) loaded, when the campaign first loads and the Campaign Setup window pops up for everyone... tell them to click Next>>> and then click SWADE Rules and then click Super Powers Companion - and FG will automatically load all the SWADE and Super Powers products for both player and GM. No need to go hunting through the Module Activation window.

The Adventure Cards for Supers is released please note you need the SWADE Adventure Deck extension for this to work.

For an NPC you can add Heavy Armor by right click on the armor section on the NPC sheet and toggling Heavy Armor on, no need for an effect.

For the power Dodge removing duration. Suggest Awareness is [Ignore #Cover -1] per level. Since all examples where it is used are [Cover +1] like Dodge.

Nice - bought it!

[RickSaada]

One of my players ran into a bug tonight. He was rolling damage for a power (Bolt) that hit with a raise and it didn't get the extra d6. We figured out that the problem was that he'd dragged the damage to a hotkey. If he used the damage roll from the power listing on the character sheet it correctly detected the raise. But when he used the hotkey even though it said Bolt Damage it only did 2d6 instead of 3d6. 57322
Any clue why this would make a difference?

[Jiminimonka]

Hi. Probably the shortcut doesn't hold information that it is a raise. So click the raise button first, then click the shortcut.

This is not a SPC bug and possibly not even a SWADE bug.

[Lonewolf]

KTharen Commander has no token. On first time open
[ERROR] Graphic: Unable to load file (modules/S2P10505GM/campaign/images/KTharen Commander.png) (*)

Every npc needs a least a letter token assigned

[Jiminimonka]

That means it's missing... since it is looking for a .png file. Will investigate this evening.

[Lonewolf]

That means it's missing... since it is looking for a .png file. Will investigate this evening.

THARN also has no token assigned. There could be a few more hidden in there.

Tharn have Pulse Rifle does Heavy Damage. See below. They don't have an unarmed attack doing str damage. There is already a bite / claw attack.

[Lonewolf]

All the weapons that appear as items. Need to be changed to guns. I suggest Pulse Weapons are labeled as such.

ie the item called "Pistol" should be "Pulse Pistol". With a weapon record rather that an item record.

[Lonewolf]

Check the bold body text works with extention on. See other ref manual with bold text. Turn extention off / on.

Theme will not show bold text and makes some pages hard to read.

[Lonewolf]

Npc Hell's Angel CC reported unknown Edge Super Powers (45) - Suggest find swel code for .edges.id-0003. Test in a new campaign and open ability. If it creates a blank new edge istead of opening and existing one.

The bug may be hidden by a blank new edge in book but futher research required.

I think you should link to the Arcane Background (Super Powers). Test in a new campaign and open ability. If it creates a blank new edge istead of opening and existing one. That is a confirmed issue.

[Lonewolf]

There no weapon modifications ready to use.

[Jiminimonka]

PDF page?

[Lonewolf]

Page 16. Not essential but the modifiers from Fantasy Companion would be a good starting point.

[Lonewolf]

Growth power effect should by size and not scale alone. For 3 points Size goes up by only 1.
Growth [Size+1 Toughness +1] modifed by user works for all Size numbers. Size 3 would be changed on the CT to Growth [Size+3 Toughness +3]

Where a scale rank changes. Simply add a seperate effect
Scale [Pace +2, Wounds Threshhold = 4, Reach + 1]

So a Growth power of 12 points gets the following:

Growth [Size +4 Toughness +4]
Scale (Large) [Pace +2, Wounds Threshhold = 4, Reach + 1]

The idea being now any size can be accounted for.

[Lonewolf]

Heartless is not a special ability

[Lonewolf]

Arcane Background (Super Powers) arcane skill is just "Focus" and not "Focus (Spirit)".

[Lonewolf]

For mutiple limbs. I am using [Gang Up +1] rather than [Attack +1]. YMMV.

[Lonewolf]

INVISIBILITY has no power description or power down note. Only modifiers for it are listed.

More stuff to update in SPC. Strygoth's Eldritch ranged attack power is a thrown weapon. Or just set trait to Athletics
Asmodeus needs a fighting skill with a d10 wild die.

[Lonewolf]

New adventure out. The Return of Dr. Destruction (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=S2P11805ADV)

I keep seeing page numbers in weird places. Have a look at the description for the NPC Beachhead for example.

[Lonewolf]

There is a blank image in the module that needs removed.

You have to be exactly specific or I am not gonna find what you are looking for. If its a page reference from the PDF then thats from the PDF.

[Jiminimonka]

Updated most of this stuff, for next Tuesday update. Keep up the bug hunting (and help Lonewolf out, he is just two-men)

[Lonewolf]

Mako does 1d12+4d6 damage with bite (Not only do PEG not show the total as one number they get the maths wrong as well :mad:)

[Lonewolf]

The Reaper has wrong damage. Reaper’s has a scythe (Str+d10+5d6, AP 10, Parry −2, Reach+1, Heavy Weapon).
Just increase damage to right level and reduce reach. Don't change anything else and leave Parry as 12 as this is a NPC

[Lonewolf]

Necessary Evil: Cosmic Crisis (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=S2P11803) now available

[Lonewolf]

Well since I am back Supers development mode. Noticed that Heavy Combat Armor min str is only d10 and not d12.

[Lonewolf]

invisible power has no description to explain how it works

[Jiminimonka]

I am in the process of updating the Players Guide, then the GM Guide and then I am gonna need your db.xml files so I can sed the crap out of them and make them work with the changes I am making. But this might be a while.

[Jiminimonka]

Updated GM & Players books, all the images are WEBP format now and some other changes and bug fixes. Let me now if you have any issues (it will go out in Tuesdays update tomorrow).

[Lonewolf]

Pushed hotfix for all campaign books to make them compatible with new SPC links

[TheMadPhoenix]

Hi, for the Super Powers companion for SWADE, we need the ability to change the trait linked to a power. For example, for some characters a ranged power may be linked to shooting. For another character, it may be linked to Focus. Right clicking on the trait die and going to trait info allows me to add a line item but just adding a modifier and I can't remove shooting as the linked trait. I'm sure there are other examples, but ranged attacks and possibly melee attacks were the ones that we were trying to solve yesterday. This is latest FGU with everything fully updated.

This is built into Savage Worlds ruleset already (at least if I understand what you are saying).

Right click on the power/ability link (the red/white dragon icon in the default theme) and select Attack info, then right click on the box where the linked trait is (shooting etc.) and select Set Trait and type the Trait you want it to use. I made a little GIF.

You're welcome.

[TheMadPhoenix]

Thanks. I guess I just saw a dropdown and assumed it couldn't be changed. Kind of non-intuitive. But, many thanks for the clarification.

SWADE.out of the box does the basic automatically and then lets you "break the rules" for all the funky Settings rules.

[Jiminimonka]

With the new Effect system upgrade coming soon, I guess I am going to have to get updating all the effects and powers for the Super Powers Companion soon. Got a few other projects to complete first. Feel free to remind me (post a reply here)

[Lonewolf]

Stun gun is set up as a thrown weapon in error

[Jiminimonka]

Stun gun is set up as a thrown weapon in error

I did that to see if you were paying attention...

[Lonewolf]

Blackguard

His Gauntlets have the Power modifier so do Str+1d4 should the battery fail.
Str+1d4+1d6 on a normal hit
Str+1d4+1d10 on a raise hit

Remove hyphen from pilot skill

Don't be too quick to do anymore updates. Wait to next month if they are trivial edits as I am may find quite a few more in the next few weeks.

[Lonewolf]

Baba Yaga has unstoppable listed twice and both are blank

[Lonewolf]

Minion has blank special ability. Also I would just link the GM guide to point at the player guide NPC record instead of having the double records.

Minion power cost is 1 per level (one per minion)

[Lonewolf]

Power sets has incorrect line in example. Correct text was:

Each set has 37 Super Power Points
instead of the usual 45,.

[Jiminimonka]

Book and section please.

[Lonewolf]

Book and section please.

Well it is the Super Powers Companion thread so this errata in the Super Powers Companion. A character name means there a problem with that character.

Power Sets error will be in Power set section.

However like I said don't fix anything yet till I find all the bugs brought up in trying to get a new campaign done. As it might save time later.

Haha. There are 2 books. Its easy when you say an item or npc. Be specific with other stuff I don't have the book memorised. Thanks.

I'll update as they get reported.

[Lonewolf]

ITEM Stun Gun and Nullifer Rod are examples of items that have notes in wrong section. Notes field is blank and rules are under hidden ID description field.

Since we looking at stun gun might as well add effect Damaged = Check Vigor: Stunned

[zarlor]

I'm trying to figure out how to properly use Effects with Super Powers. I see several of them have Effects (presumably that you would drag onto Combat Tracker... say if the character was Invisible they have a #Invisible... but how does it know if they have the True Invisibility modifier on it?) but those make more sense in my mind for non-permanent effects. What about things like Super Skill or Super Attribute? I've tried putting on the description line, or the title of the power something like [Focus +5d] but it still just rolls the base without that. Or is it strictly the kind of thing where you just set the Trait to whatever the Super version of it is and don't bother with Effects like that?

I also noticed I needed to set on the AB the main Skill to be Focus (since that is the primary, presumably for attack powers you're generally better off creating attacks on the combat tab so it can use attack or ranged skills for those). Is there also a way to handle some of these for a character that uses the Alternate Trait modifier (so maybe they use Focus on some powers but specifically set, say, Hacking on some of their Powers). Is there a way to switch those up?

[Jiminimonka]

Some Super Powers are permanent. Alter the character sheet stats accordingly for those. Effects are for Temporary Powers like when Angry Green Man takes over from Handsome Smart Geek.

[zarlor]

So you're saying use combat tracker for the "temporary ones"? But what about the effects listed in the Powers? My guy isn't permanently invisible, for example, but the only effect in the power is #Invisible not one for the -4 or -6 versions, things like that? Maybe I got too used to all the one in Fantasy Companion and SWPF?

Still if I wanted to put something like that on a Power is there a place to put it where it would parse it? Or is that just not possible like it is on some other descriptions?

And what about changing the skill used for a particular power (or even attack on the Combat tab)? I thought there was once a way to do that but I no longer seem to be able to find it.

[Jiminimonka]

To change the ability used for a Power or Attack etc right click and select the pen icon and type in the ability needed.

[Jiminimonka]

I'll look at Powers and add effects for them.

[zarlor]

To change the ability used for a Power or Attack etc right click and select the pen icon and type in the ability needed.

Pen icon? All I see is the menu attached if I right click anywhere on a Power (except on the attack/action die but there is no pen on that menu, either, just number of attacks and Trait Info which doesn't let you edit the Trait it is using either).

Thanks a ton for working the effects on powers, though. I know that's going to be a good bit of work so I really appreciate it.

Open the power usign the Cog on the right. Its a Pen icon for writing. Think its wording is Edit. Ask on Discord someone will show a screeshot. I'am at work. No PC

[zarlor]

No rush at all. Here's what I see on the cog edit screen and while I have used that plenty I've never figured out a way to get that to select a specific Trait to use that wasn't either directly associated with the AB, Athletics (the Thrown option), Shooting (aka Ranged), Fighting (aka Melee) or Repair (aka Bomb), or Electronics. I've never seen any other choices if they were available. (And I'd rather keep it here instead of Discord because it's easier for folks to find things here, IMHO, over the chaos of Discord).

[Mike Serfass]

Right click on the Type drop down, click Set Trait:
66833

[Jiminimonka]

Right click on the Type drop down, click Set Trait:
66833

yes that - I sent video message to #savage_worlds channel on FG Discord too Zarlor.

[zarlor]

Yep, thanks folks. Somehow it never occurred to me to right click on THAT! Go figure.

[Lonewolf]

So you're saying use combat tracker for the "temporary ones"? But what about the effects listed in the Powers? My guy isn't permanently invisible, for example, but the only effect in the power is #Invisible not one for the -4 or -6 versions, things like that? Maybe I got too used to all the one in Fantasy Companion and SWPF?

The full answer is. It depends.

In normal play if there is no Activation roll and power not subject to Power Down rule. Then something like Super Attribute will just put stat up as a permanent condition no effect is used. This was done to speed up the old CT and still means there less effects getting used in current version of FG.

The catch is Neutralize Power applies Strength -d until it wears off. The loss of strength is a temporary condition.

If the power requires Activation or is subject to Power Down rule depending on what limits are applied. When it is activated successfully apply a temporary condition of Strength +d. If the hit with Neutralize Power simply delete the temporary effect. The character can reactivate it later.

For more information see SHIELD (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?85740-Super-Hero-Items-Effects-Lore-amp-Defense) thread

[zarlor]

Appreciate the feedback and I'd seen that thread before but maybe I'm strange (well, no maybe about it! ;)) but since we also have the ability on Effects in CT that I never noticed before to turn Effects on and off (and modify visibility of them as well) I decided to go through their powers and add whatever modifiers I could see that would be appropriate there (with all of them turned off since CC starts with them all having Nullifiers on). If it does bog down CT way too much then I'll probably reconsider some of the other methods. We'll see. It's not like the group hasn't already been through the other two scenarios and as FGU adds more capabilities they've gotten pretty used to them (enough that the other GM at our table has taken to using it for his SWADE SFC=based game now, too!)

Thanks for all the advice, though. I've always appreciated the helpfulness of this forum.

Auto Grapnel was missing - but it used to be there.. Binoculars are there still, not sure why you can't see them. Fixed

[Lonewolf]

Auto Grapnel was missing - but it used to be there.. Binoculars are there still, not sure why you can't see them. FixedYes found Binoculars. Looked up
Auto Grapnel in ref manual and noticed there was no link for either item. So thought the Binoculars where missing.

[Jiminimonka]

I have my old build for Supers and Auto Grapnel was in there, so dunno how that vanished - maybe Spiderman stole it!
