Combat Tracker.
MENU->Delete from Tracker: Both options doesn't work.

[bayne7400]

Yup thanks. I'll get this updated for Tuesday.

[sambarilov]

Do we already have/plan to have a way to track dungeon crawling turns, exhaustion, torches, etc?

[bayne7400]

I did an entire feature to track torches in Shadowdark as it is part of the core rules and I'm not sure it actually gets much use. I also did a CT turn tracker for OSE and again it did not get much use. it even auto rolled tables for you. So I did not invest the time to do one in this ruleset. The problem with designing something like this it it takes time to interact with it and it is faster just to annotate it on a piece of paper or notes record and move on. I might consider adding a widget to the desktop that acts like a clicker to advance turns to help you track. It would require a click from the Gm to advance one turn.

I guess I would like to hear what everyone says first.

[sambarilov]

No problem. It's that kind of thing that everyone wants to do a bit differently. I just wanted to know if it was already there somewhere and I didn't find it. I actually coded a tracker that I use on my phone. I'll just keep using that or simply use a note on FG

Hi Bayne!

I've been using the ruleset all through the year and it's been great so far. No problems at all. Good work, man!

I have one suggestion for one thing that's still a bit fiddly to work with so far which is horse load.

Currently I'm telling my players to add a "horse" item in the inventory and putting everything they want there using the location field and that works fine. I think we're just missing a way to know if a container is over capacity. Maybe having a field in the item page and changing the font to red in the inventory if it's overfilled

[bayne7400]

That is an interesting idea. Let me see how much work it will take.

[bayne7400]

It took a few hours but I have something that works but just needs some testing. I have it working in both slot and weight based. For basic it defaults to coin weight capacity rules.

[sambarilov]

Hey! Amazing! Let me know if I can help in some way

[bayne7400]

Yeah send me a message on discord and ill let you help me test it.

[pirateronjon]

Thanks for all the great work on the Dolmenwood ruleset for FG!

I think the Slot Encumbrance system is counting Shortbow and Longbow as taking 2 slots when Equipped or Carried, instead of 1 slot (as per pg. 149 in the DPG). Here are some screenshots, the first showing the Shortbow as unequipped, and a Carried Slot Count of 3:

66767

Then after equipping the Shortbow, the Carried Slot Count goes up to 5, instead of 4:

66768

I could be wrong here, but I think it Shortbows & Longbows only count as 1 slot when Equipped/Carried.

Cheers,
Ron

[bayne7400]

Ron you can open the item and see the number of slots. I'll take a look when I can.

[bayne7400]

Was quick fix on the item records. This along with tables update being pushed tomorrow.

[pirateronjon]

Great, thank you!

[pirateronjon]

Hi!

Using the Slot Encumbrance system, it looks like a bundle of 3 torches is taking 3 slots instead of 1 as per the DPB.

Here is the Torch bundle item showing 1 slot usage:

66910

Here is a character with one bundle of torches that's been drag-&-droped from the item list onto his inventory, which shows his slot count as 8 instead of 6:

66911

And if we drag another bundle of torches to be carried, his carried amount goes from 5 to 8, instead of 6:

66912

Also, should Flasks of Oil be 1 slot instead of 0?

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Ron

[bayne7400]

You will notice the item is Torches(3) and it is also plural not "torch" 1 bundle of 3 torches equals one slot.

[pirateronjon]

Yes, I totally agree; a bundle of Torches (3) should be 1 slot. But in the ruleset, if a player drags the Torches(3) bundle from the Items list into their Inventory, it counts as 3 slots, not 1. It looks like when the Torches(3) bundle is added to the Inventory, the ruleset is setting the count to 3, indicating 3 bundles of Torches, and counting it as 3 slots. I can go back and manually reduce the count to 1 to fix the slot issue on the character sheet's Inventory, but it reappears if a new bundle is added from the Items list to the Inventory.

Cheers,
Ron

[bayne7400]

OK I understand what you are saying now. Yeah best bet may be to change it to 1 torch and give it slot of 0.33. What do you think?

[pirateronjon]

Yeah, I think that is a good work around. If the Torches item slot count is set to '0.33' then it counts the Torches(3) bundle as '0.99' slots instead of 3 slots. It has the side-effect of showing the Total slot count with decimals as well, but I would think that's okay. It also allows the player to reduce the count of torches as they use them, and is correct as they purchase/find more bundles of torches.

Also, it the really cool Dolmenwood theme you use in your videos available somewhere? I looked through the Forums and Forge, but didn't see it there.

I'm also looking forward to trying out your 'Bundle of Holding' extension, as our party is keen on getting a Mule.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Ron

[bayne7400]

I can tweak the rounding rules. Slot rules just make the game way more complicated than it is worth. Imagine running slot rules at the table? Inventory would never be right.

[pirateronjon]

Thank you. I certainly do appreciate the hard work you put into the Dolmenwood ruleset. It's really a great implementation.

Getting some errors with various NPCs using their SAVEVS attacks. When the target fails, getting: [string "CoreRPG:scripts/manager_action_save.lua"]:35: attempt to index local 'rRoll' (a nil value)

Attached are logs and testing was done with an Adder, using their Poison attack off of the Combat Tracker onto a PC on the Combat Tacker.

Thanks!

[Moon Wizard]

Just pushed a hot fix that I think should address. Please run a new Check for Updates.

[srbongo]

Thanks Moon - but I'm now seeing the errors on Successful saves instead of failed ones. Same error but line 30 of manager_action_save

[Moon Wizard]

Apologies; just pushed another hot fix. Please run another Check for Updates.

[srbongo]

Thanks again, confirmed fixed for me.
