Rolemaster FRP Extension 2.1

The RMSS/FRPG Forge extension for RMC by Ardem is long broken- Bruno has fixed a few things and send me a functioning one a few months ago, but since then I did not hear anything of him being in the middle of a development process making FRPG.ext better. Strange, hopefully he is not ill or had an accident. So we need somebody else for the RMSS/FRPG extension if it will break again (or to repair it...).
In this FRPG extension uploaded here the skill tab is not functioning correctly in modifying skill ranks- you have to adjust all skills through the skill development tab, but most of the other stuff is fixed. Note that Ardem/community has added lots of FRPG content over the time for free.
Have fun anyway...

Thanks a lot

We repaired the Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying Game Extension with a LLM and now its better then before: Skills and skill bonus calculation are functionable again, NPCs are using for skills the alternate Maneuver tables- you can use Spell maneuver rolls putting Base spell list bonus inside and roll for example. (note that you need the Forge FRPG version from Ardem, too and RMC installed): This version has better markers of the results in the table resolver.
You have to rename it to FRP.ext before copying it into the extension folder.

Great work glad someone was able to carry on the FRP tradition.

Awesome news! Thank you all for your hard work. It must be a labor of love!

Thank you Micael!

Awesome job!

No need even to resubscribe to the extension.

Now after the RFRP extension is running again, we updated certain FRPG/RMSS Books:
1. Spell Law is no loner mixed with RMC- now 100% FRP spells inside
2. Mentalism Companion is published with all Professions, Skills and Spells
3. Arcane Comapnion is in work and nearly ready
4. Essence Companion is in work and nearly ready
5. School of hard knocks skill description (use small icon next to full name in skill window) is working again
6. .. and a 10´Pole is available
Have fun!
Micael

The new live version is updated, Ardem uploaded the following Rolemaster FRP modules (repaired version 54) with all spells, skills and Professions and Races:
1. Mentalism Companion
2. Channeling Compendium
3. Essence Compendium
4. Arcane Compendium
5. Rolemaster Rules with the following new features and bug fixes:
a. RR recalculated, Poison seperated from Disease, Terror deleted, Psionics added and arcane correct calculated
b. automatic Profession/Level bonus added to categories of Character sheet after Profession is chosen new once
c. automatic Realmstat calculation and pick after Realm is chosen new once
d. all races from Culture&races added- need to rechoose race
6. hundreds of bug fixes regarding spelling and coding
Have fun!
Micael

All skill descriptions from the Skill Compendium (School of hard knocks) are already live, and we are working on the RMSS Martial Arts Compendium and School of Hard Knocks Professions like the Swashbuckler.
Have fun!

Hi,
I'm using the FRP form Ardem. And I tried the FRP repair v54 extension but it totally changed the character sheets. Maybe it is normal because I don't master FRP but from my point of view it doesn't look fine.
Maybe an other extension interacts. I'd liked to post the screenshots of the two different skill of the player sheet but on this forum I don't see the option to add pictures.
Thanks for help.

If you answer you see the button manache attachments- there you can upload something. Not sure what you are talking about (use go advanced).
Micael

Sorry the display of the Forum with Firefox is not the same as in Chrome or Edge.

Here the two screenshots of the SKILL part of the character sheet.

The first one is with FRP repair v54 extension. The second one is as it should be (or the way I use it until now). Totals are messed up, when I deactivate FRP repair v54 extension and I have to manually change each rank to have recalculated right.

If you use the right mouse button you can change the sorting from alphabetic to sorting category and skills belonging to the category.
The old charactersheet was completely bugged- don´t know which version you used, but the Realmstat calculation was never right, the professional bonus was not correctly distributed and now of course all is calculated again- if you manually corrected something in the past to adjust the numbers, these is no longer nessessary, but of course you have to adjust your old sheet.

If you are not sure, how to install FRPG correctly:
you need to delete all FRP.ext from your FGU extension directory and all FRP...Compenium.mod from your module directory first- then you have to install Ardems extension after installing (and buying) RMC. You have to go to your library and unload Character Law (because its from RMC and will mix things up), Arms Law and Spell Law, and load all FRP... modules you find in your library. In your chat should be shown: repaired V54 (or before starting FGU in your extension directory).

It seems, you had used RMC skills in the past instead of FRP skills or mixed them. That is not possible without creating a mess sooner or later. You need to drag/drop ALL skills from the skills menu after you had unloaded RMC Charakter LAw and loaded Rolemaster FRP Rules.

If you want to use a RMC installation parallel, you have to create/open a new campaign and hold them seperate strictly, one with FRPG and the other with only RMC

Ok I'll cleanup this week and make some tests.

I have started a new campaign to try this out and am having some problems.

I did delete all FRP.ext. There is no FRP*Compendium.mod. I unloaded Arms, Spell, and Character Law modules and loaded all the FRP modules.

The chat window shows FRP repaired v53 for FGU RMC. Normalizes RMFRP profession LvlBonus aliases/dublettes and preserves non-zero bonuses; v52 split Power Awareness/Power Manipulation list retained." I don't get v54.

When I add Categories, there are only 7 categories loaded.

When I add skills to the Skill Development dialog, I get a bunch of these errors: s'Cannot automatically add the Category Bonus, as you have more then one category with the same group, delete or change to a another skill Calc and you can continue'

When I right click and select Group (which I assume is what you meant for changing the sorting), I don't get the highlighted categories as shown in the previous picture from Englemann. I do get a little extra vertical space with no text.

As mentioned, this is with a brand new campaign where I followed the steps as described although I'm not sure about the "install Ardems extension" part. I enabled it in the Forge. The vault directory shows the file 516...dat with a date of Apr 27 19:37.

I checked for updates a couple times before and while trying this out.

Any help to get this working would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

You are right, that the old format looks nicer, but at the moment we are focuces on function and bugs - so perhaps somewhere in the future we will have a look into this.
At the moment categories are marked and there are lots of more categories then 7- see one example screenshot.
You can press the development button on the right down side and another skill window will appear. There at the bottom you can add or remove all categoeires (Primary skills) or skills (secondary skills) or delete all you have not developed. If you have added RMC be careful because you will add lots of broken skills here.
Micael

I was more concerned about the error messages I got (s'Cannot automatically add the Category Bonus, as you have more then one category with the same group, delete or change to a another skill Calc and you can continue') and the missing data.

I had selected the Skill Development dialog. Attached is what I get when I add all categories in the Skill Development dialog. I removed Arms, Character, and Spell Law before doing any of this.

I don't have anything from RMC except for the Ruleset.

I just tried it again (in the same campaign; not a new one) and there were 3 categories and 6 skills (all Secondary, no Primary) total in the Skill Development dialog after I clicked the Add buttons for Skills Category and Skills.

The error messages are no problem, because they only tell you, that FGU tries to add a category twice, but didn´t do it in the end.
I have created a complete new character- we are using ERA for character creation and not FGU, because that´s much easier, because ERA is forcing all rules and FGU not- you can do all things wrong in FGU- we are creating characters iun ERA and then converting them to FGU. Thats the most accurate and fastes way to do characters, because ERA has absolute all books of FRP and Shadow World- so you could choose anything. For FGU you have only the 4 comanions and Races & Cultures... the other books are coming somewhere in the future, but not knowing when.

I opened a completel empty skioll sheet go to development skill sheet and press adding all categories and then press all skills- you can see the screenshots following below, what I can see. So all is ok.
For the Version, Ardem seem to have put only V53 in the notes, but the name is V54- you can see this in the loading window of FGU. I have no more time at the moment, so if you have more bugs- I will pool them and look to them on monday. But please if, show me your library on a screenshot to see which modules you are using.
Micael

OK, thanks for your time. I'm not sure what's going on then. I have ERA as well so I guess that will work as well so I guess I'm all set for now.

With the next FRP extension update there will be:

RMSS Martial Arts Companion complete with skills, spells, professions, attack tables and crittables.
V67: Extension
1. Realmstat calculation bug fixed
2. Lvl bonus calculation bug on main sheet and Spells section fixed
3. Better Overview on Skillsheet with categories (primary skills) marked in other color
4. Power Awareness stats fixed
5. -Spells Own Realm TP Lists fixed
6. Don´t use a legacy theme- it could be buggy- you need no theme for this extension
7. you need to switch back between primary and secondary the same skill to get correct markings and values if not already there.
8. you need switch the chosen realm back and forth to have correct Realmstat detection.
9. You need to change back and forth race and profession to get the correct level and statboni calculation done.
10. For options to choose and many guiding go to the following links on the Fantasy Grounds Discord server

We plan to publish free fan material (original attack tables, items, skills, crittables...) in FGU for Space Master Privateers with the same extension, if ICE will not object soon.

Note, that to pool testing, guiding and bugs, please go to the following Fantasy Grounds discord server and read all comments there, before asking again- sadly I have no time to respond on more then one thread:

https://discord.com/channels/2745828...96931135471627

here is a invitation if you have not used it before:

Have fun!

**FRP repaired V105 AT40** is live!
a new fully functionable FGU FRPG/RMSS version is now online. The first time prepared for later coming free Spacemaster Privateers material. Now you can use ATs higher the 20 without error messages. We will use the Spacemaster 2ed system for calculating ATs but using the rome numbered tables. Example:
AT I is AT21 in FGU (similar to 2ed Spacemaster) but using the updated Privateers tables whenever possible.
...AT X is AT 30 in FGU
CAT I (vehicle AT) is AT31 in FGU and so on...

In addition you get now all 43 different specialty priest professions with the updated **ChannelingCompendium **all of their base lists and of course the summoner, Mythik...

Great ! Thank you to develop this extension !

There's an error with the latest version of the Rolemaster FRP Extension. Whenever you try to resolve a skill check, the error message pops up. There seems to be an error in the function getEffectsBonusByType (a nil value) that comes from rules_modifiers_frp.lua, line 97 within the FRP.dat file. I tried to debug an fix it myself, by the .dat file is of course password protected, so I can't take even take a look what's causing it. Is there any way to perhaps roll back to a previous version, until the issue is resolved?

which frp version you are using? 105 is the newest. I don´t get errors using skills.
The most problems arise, if you are mix RMC with FRP- make sure only mods with FRP starting are loaded. Don´t use features with RMC and never use the CharacterLaw without FRP at front. You cant use skills from RMC- they are referencing to CharacterLaw and not to FRP. And don´t use themes.
Have fun!

Shadow World will soon arrive on Fantasy Grounds (similar as on ERA)- here you can see the Status of the free Community Package and a few examples of Combat and the Content (please download the video to have perfect sound sync): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zll...usp=drive_link

———————————
With the next update of Arden’s FRP/RMSS extension (after the update now where Shadow World is delivered) there will be a privateers Space Master Fantasy Grounds package available, that is somewhat an alpha edition (mean’s probably bugs and inconsistencies, but the more people will give back bugreports the faster it will reach beta). You will need the FGU RMC license for that to use, but otherwise it’s free.

Content:
Spacemaster Privateers Book tables, Professions, items, attacks, skills, psionics, maneuver, crittables, misc. tables and NPCs.
Blaster Law items, weapons & attack tables & crittables
Equipment Manual Items, tables (not attack and crittables- they will come later), NPCs and Maneuvertables.

Note that this is a huge package - you need the ICE books to be able to use this material for example to understand TLs and the different Ages, the campaign or the rules for all kind of procedures. As in FRP (FGU) the Training Packages are not part of this package. That means its probably easier to create your characters with ERA and import them to FGU. It is not planed to bring TP to this extension, because ERA imo is better suited for guided Character creation anyway.

Have fun!
