MoreCore Ruleset

Working with rolld, I've been able to get it to roll the extra type die and keep the top two. Gotta figure out how to add in a modifier now.

Very good.
Have a search in the \scripts folder for nMod and see how to call it, save it and clear it.

Darned frustrating, trying to find nMod strings among all that other stuff, hours later, going to bed with no luck.

I will have a look tomorrow.
What are some valid dice test strings - with different sized dice?

/factwelve 2d12+1d4+1 1
/factwelve 2d12+1d8+4 1
Really, anything in that setup works (except for the mod) like
/factwelve 3d6+2d8+1 2
will drop the lowest 2 dice but won't add in the 1 mod.

I'm also having a problem getting it to work as a macro inside the MoreCore character sheet, but that's probably a function of having to set up "factwelve" withe the sheet scripts?

thanks. followed that, but getting script error:

Script Error: [string "common/scripts/morecore_rolls/lua"]:80: attempt to concatenate 'sParams' (a nil value}

Hi !
First thanks for this great "rule pak";
We use it to play hackmaster and it work ok.

However since last update as a GM i have encounter a little problem: I can't open the Old character selection screen ?
Now, instead i've got a scrolling list who looks exactly like the NPC list. (no portrait of the character only their name).
I can open Character sheet from this list but I cannot "own" them, export or import them. Only the create and erase option are available when right clicking in this list.
For Player who join a game the "old" character selction screen open once at the beginning and if they close it we didn't find a way to open it again.
I guess there is a new function that i'm not aware of.

Thanks for the pak anyway it's great !

Are you on the test channel instead of live?

Yep - this is an issue on Test - it is fixed in my current build but it wont be ready for release until closer to the 18th.
PM me if you need it.
