Encumbrance not Calculating

[LordEntrails]

Not sure if this ever worked in my ruleset (CoreRPG child) but it's not now (a few months at least). I think I'm doing things the exact same ways as CoreRPG, but what am I missing?

From my charsheet_inventory

<windowlist name="inventorylist">
<bounds>30,40,-49,-220</bounds>
<class>char_invitem</class>
<datasource>.inventorylist</datasource>
<script file="campaign/scripts/char_invlist.lua" />
</windowlist>
...
<number_static name="encumbranceload" source="encumbrance.load">
<bounds>188,349,40,40</bounds>
</number_static>


I'm using char_invitem from Core, I'm not overwriting encumbrance.load...
I don't know what else to look at.

Have you overwritten char_invlist.lua ? I don't have the source code available atm, but there is a specific function in the EncumbranceManager module that does the calculation, and you can define your own algorithm. The default calculation is supposed to be working if you do not set a custom one, but then there is the subject of what event triggers a recalc. In short, there are many places where you might have involuntarily overwritten the default behaviour. You should locate and check all of them.

Nope, I have not overwritten char_invlist.lua. It should be loading from CoreRPG.
I see no scripting triggers in the CoreRPG record_char_inventory.xml so I don't think I' missing that.
I'll try adding debugging statements to my char inventory window, but not sure what values I should be looking for.
p.s. Thanks the help!

Finally got my eyes on the code. The relevant functions are in manager_char_encumbrance.lua of CoreRPG. However, the key point is that you have to explicitly activate the encumbrance calculation. This means that your manager_gamesystem.lua must either be non-existent (it will call the default GameSystem in CoreRPG) or must contain the following code


CharEncumbranceManager.addStandardCalc();


or a call to the customization of the calculation


CharEncumbranceManager.addCustomCalc(yourCustomFun ction);


Does your ruleset have one of these two snippets of code?

Thank you so much!
No, my game system does not include either of those. Will test later today. Appreciate you looking into this and helping out!

edit: working!
