Greetings,

I've been looking "everywhere" but searches come up with a different subject (token frames) - I was wondering if there are any extensions to add more story frames to FGU. I feel the current pool is small and I don't really like most of them - where are the different parchments, unfurled scrolls etc. (for fantasy games at any rate, I don't know if other genres or game systems have different frames).

Alternatively, is there a guide to making your own frames?

(For the record, I'm talking the frames that wrap around sections of text in a campaign book)

Adding new frames requires making an extension; and then the extension would be required to be loaded for every GM who wanted to see the frames as you intend. The frames are 9-slice graphics defined by a PNG/WEBP with a 9-slice definition.

It's recommended to use the standard frames for that reason; as all of the standard themes are also aware of all the standard frames.

I haven't looked into this, but assume you would need to write an extension. The graphics themselves would need to be done using the nine slices philosophy (i.e. four corners connecting by fillable sides).

Taking a quick look at CoreRPG, it looks like the existing frames graphics are in graphic\frames\ref* and are defined in the xml here: ...\graphics\graphics_ref.xml
