Thanks for the update damned. It has interesting additions to the ruleset :)
Some things I would like clarified
- The attacks frame on MoreCore tab, the string recognition adds to the Dice Pool only. Can it be configured to roll, rather than add (like in CoreRPG)?
- The new Trackers library ... it seems that now it can be used to implement something like the "clocks" from the Blade of Darkness rpg to countdown to an event. But can it be shared or displayed outside of the "MoreData" tabs for a specific character? How can I show global clocks for example? (I know there is old extension somewhere, but the question is if I can do something with MoreCore only) Can those trackers be visible in the CT?
- In the notes section of MoreData - when player creates a note, it does not appear in the general Notes library as expected. This makes it non shareable. Is this intentional?
- When story entry is created in the lower left box in MoreData sheet, the only editable thing is the Title. The windows type is also different compared to the one created in the Story library. I presume the idea here is to drag shared story entry from Story library for reference, not for the players to write their own stuffs?
- Implementation of the Data frames in MoreData - those are just text fields (looking strange)? What is the rationale behind them not looking like the "Notes" frame for example in the Notes tab for example. Can they contain other data types from various libraries?
- The new Spell frames in MoreData tab... they now accept only Trackers as data type... when I drag existing spell it converts to some Tracker wiping whatever is moved there from the Library. Is this the intention of the new boxes?
Bugs:
- Tooltips should be updated - some state to enter headers for rolls while the frames no longer contain such capability (Story,Notes,Images)
- In CT the "Rolls" category when expanded still overlaps with everything else
- The /conan roll is still not working... The old format is there and to use it properly have to put extensions.
- The /crom roll still demands a string after the dices, rendering error if nothing is supplied from the chat's command. Players often roll via the chat for things that are ad-hoc, rather than making rolls in the character sheet or shortcuts for commands.

Hola Valyar thanks for your feedback and input
1. Untick the Dicepool to send it as normal.
2. It is not intended for use as Clocks... it is currently only in the MoreData tab. Am thinking of making a shareable panel for those - could be used for things like Doom/Momentum too then...? Trackers are currently trackers - and notifiers to chat - only. You can also Shift+Click to increment and add +1 to Modifiers. That is the only current functionality. Video coming soon...
3. Content created in a char sheet exists only in a charsheet. Content created elsewhere and copied to the sheet is linked for the refdata stuff (images, story, refmanual, notes) and copied for all other stuff (rolls - but this is same behavior for weapons, items, spells etc in other rulesets)
4. Yes that is correct. It is for the player to save important things that have been shared with them. Players cant edit Stories.
5. Currently just Formatted Text field. Write stuff there, drag stuff there, more freeform. Maybe replaced with something specific in the future? Not sure at this stage.
6. I asked several times for input and feedback on spells since before 1.47 and received very little. It was very difficult to work out something useful and generic for spells. Some spells are hand waving and some are too complex for FG. Others are just damage or healing. These are all pretty much covered by Rolls except for tracking their usage. Decided to pare spells back to Tracking usage only. ill get the video done... Spells are basically redundant... have left the interface for now but its orphaned...
Bug Reports
1. Thanks - if you can provide more specific info it will help...
2. Yes - Im having trouble with this anchoring... I wouldnt mind a new set of eyes on the code...
3. I requested the correct info several times and would really appreciate the correct version of the file if possible...
4. Rolls are according to the Help File only meant to be used in Rolls. The Roll does expect a Description (or name when used as a Roll)

Thanks for the clarifications! :)
For the trackers - I think if there is way to add them to the combat tracker and be visible to everyone, this will address the "Clocks" for Blade of Darkness. If you make share-able panels with visuals as in the extension, will be great. Two birds one stone.
For the two spell panels - Currently both are accepting only Tracker and you can't drag the Spell datatype from the library as it converts. I think the best here is to actually make the left panel accepting Spells and the right Trackers. Or accept both types and leave the user to decide what to place where. Aside from that I agree that it is hard to make format suitable for every possible spell. I like what you have currently - one line for dice string if needed and free form text for the spell description.
In regards to the bugs I reported:
- Will summarize the tooltips that are to be modified accordingly. Same for the anchoring in the CT. Will do some code hunting after the holidays :)
- I think as there are already use cases that do not want to use Roll from CT and directly from the chat, this to be adjusted. Makes sense for me, but might be too much work if a lot of things are coded.
- I will try to sort out the /conan roll for the next release.

Quick overview of 1.48 features here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLixY9VLEM
Players cannot see other players attacks, rolls etc in the CT
Players cannot see NPCs attacks, rolls etc in the CT
I dont think Trackers belong in the CT
The previous Spell incarnation didnt add anything really that Rolls didnt do. Ill see what other feedback I get before making any final decisions...
Thanks Valyar

Regarding the spell and and power panels in MoreData, i think the best option is convert them in click and drag from "rolls" panel. Since spells are various and can provide damage, heal, modifier or just description, i use rolls to store all spells.
If you can drag the rolls, exactly as we do in panels in MoreCore tab, it should be perfect and anyone can put there all kind of stuff he needs.
The spell management panel in MoreData is simply perfect. People who use spell point can fill the first column with spell level, and second column with spell lelvel's cost. If people use x spell per level, in the first column put spell level, and in the second number of spells available for that level.
Simple, elegant and really useful.

Yeah as i said in pm, the trackers is simply useless to me and terribly inconvenient now because my system uses spell points, not spells per day. Make it a toggle or something but having it to it auto converts to trackers is terribly inconvenient to me.
Honestly i hate the trackers.
-
Thanks for the video Damned. Clear and complete. I use the trackers for special powers or spells with daily (not normal spells or powers usable by characters).
-
I don't know if the problem is related to MoreCore... i ask here: the character selection screen is changed: i don't have anymore the character portrait, and i can't clear the ownership of the characters.
Also my player can't claim the characters (someone use 2 characters when a player can't join us for a session).
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks
-
In version 3.3.7 of FG and CoreRPG the Character Selection screen has been enhanced to have filtering. This caused an issue with rulesets not updated accordingly.
Do you run the latest version of MoreCore and do you run another extension that skins or modifies the MoreCore?
-
Last version of MoreCore. I already tried to delete and then upgrade again CoreRpg and MoreCore. I use my theme, but i changed only background image and sidebar icons,
Anyway, i try to load my campaign without theme, and the problem is still here.
Zaccheus pointed me to another thread with a problem like mine, and in the discussion they refer to dropbox correction, but there isn't the link.
