Found this Error when clicking vehicles by type:
Ruleset Error: windowcontrol: Database type mismatch for control (speed) in windowclass (reference_groupedlist_groupitem)
Script Error: [string "ref/scripts/ref_groupedlist_groupitem.lua"]:86: attempt to index local 'cField' (a nil value)
Please download the new version.Quote:

Should I add compliment and passenger? Do you think it would be too poluted in the window, or useful?
Let me know
Nah looks good. What do you think about changing Hull to "HT" or "Hull Trauma" and System to "SS" or "System Strain".Quote:

Thanks.. i just added :)Quote:

I think this is going to be better for coding when i add vehicles to the characters and combat tracker.
Problem is if you added any vehicles, you will need to edit the xml to remove the old speed field, go back to FG and put max speed in them again
I am sorry about this
No other fields will change
I have also done the HT SS modification, and added hardpoints to vehicles
You can download the new version
I am now going to work on adding vehicles to pcs/npcs
Don't worry about it:). Do what you need to do. As long as it will be better in the long run, I don't mind reentering them.Quote:

On the NPC tabs, there is no drag and drop icon anywhere on the character sheet to add them to a note, story or Encounters tab. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
That would require making an extension I think, which is fairly easy to do if all you want is to specific Campaign skills to show up by default.Quote:

On the NPCs Notes tab should be able to add links. Right click and select paragraph and link. I will test it when I get home.Quote:

That will add skills to it.
As soon as i am done with vehicles i will implement that
Yes it is easy... I will add a drag icon in the npc sheetQuote:

Awesome. I really hope that you are having as much fun putting this together as I am exploring the full range of what your framework is able to do. This is really an amazing project.
Oh lol. I completely misunderstood what was being asked.Quote:

It's fine. I may have just missed it. If not you could add it as an option in the settings people who make their own setting.
I will for the time, remove that field.Quote:

I was on the fence to add, but yeah i checked back, and officially that is not a thing
I dont even think vehicles have attachments on genesys?
Oh yes! I work as a programmer but I have to admit working on this has been the most pleasurable experience with development I had these past 20 yearsQuote:

We know the official rules mention they did not see need for Gear attachments, but at least one person already asked for this feature.
Also, no vehicle hard points, and thinking a bit more, i dont think there is even mention of vehicles having attachments officially
So, instead of completelly removing these, I added them as optional house rules!
Check the image attached:
Attachment 38710
So now, we have three House Rules in options
They are by default OFF
- Gears: you can enable Attachments for gears
- Vehicles: you can enable Hard Points field
- Vehicles: you can enable vehicle attachments
Again, they are off by default, you would have to enable them if you want them in your campaign.
Download the latest version as always here:

P.S.: I will probably only have another update sunday :)
This is an incredibly useful feature--thank you! Looking forward to Sunday now too. What could be next? Who knows, but we are getting spoiled on this project!
Double post oops.
So while adding vehicles, I noticed several vehicles have special abilities. A lot of vehicles in the Expanded Player's Guide has it. You could add a Type or subtype category to Special Abilities so that users can add "Vehicles Abilities". Then add a space for it like you did with Hard Points. Not sure how you would want to handle this.
For now people can just add into the description of the vehicle if you want.

Latest version has been download (updated 8/21) but the genesys options doesn't allow those three shown house rule options. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or the wrong file got uploaded but as of right now I can't toggle those options.
Do you see the options when you click the options button?Quote:

Also, after you open options, scroll all the way down. The options should be at the bottom
Another thinh: if you are using Fantasy Grounds Unity, make sure you put the ruleset in the correct directory.
FGU uses different directories for LIVE, TEST environments
I am using the regular Fantasy Grounds. Did the update from this morning. This is my options list:
That's because all your option categories are minimized. Press the individual headers!
EDIT: Although the last category is missing. I just updated to check if there were issues. I found none.
to confirm, the update that allows the additional options is found in the genesys.pak file and that file gets put into the ruleset file folder.
I have not updated any of the .mods in a while, could that be the issue?
I am trying to reload an existing campaign not starting a fresh one, could that be the issue?
Sorry to be a hassle :/
Edit: Fixed it! The problem seemed to be the fact that I had the Genesys: Android (Setting) button clicked on my Campaign details. Starting the campaign with that button unclicked allowed the additional house rule setting to appear. Loading it up with the button clicked after it had already loaded with the new options caused the options to disappear.

I think the extensions for the Shadow of the Beanstalk had the vehicle options loaded automatically. The gear option is a nice!Quote:

Oh, so right now, i am adding vehicles to pcs and npc sheets.Quote:

Then i will make that vehicle show up in the combat tracker very similar to how you see Effects under chars there.
Then, after that works, i will add a feature allowing players to make their vehicle public, allowing multicrew :)
After that, i will work on the "background" tab for characters.
This will be where we have Motivations and others specific to some settings.
I am going to work on a way that it is universal: similar to how i did actions, i will make it so you can create almost anything, for example adding Favors and Factions (android), Organizations (Crucible) or anything really.
This will also be useful when we make the star wars ruleset...
I also want to eventually remove the combat tab, and add weapons (and vehicle weapons) to the actions tab....
Then I will work on creating settings.
Initially it will be a simple record where you describe the setting, and a tab listing all skills.
So instead of using extensions to activate a setting, you can simply either create a setting while FG is open, or activate one or more, by opening modules.
So also imagine, a player while creating their char will be able to select one of the available settings, this will populate their character with the setting skills, and as a bonus, if a GM wants to mix and match characters from different settings (again useful for star wars) they even can!
After that... altough i have more stuff i want to do in the ruleset, i will prepare the first version of the star wars ruleset.
Wow, wonderful!!
I had an idea for things like duty and obligation. 1stly I think those are great systems for any setting not just star wars. You could add those to the optional rules and just have them appear automatically in the star wars extension.
Next I was thinking of having an obligation/duty/morality chart in the party sheet section. It would get the values from each player you link into the chart. You could add a dice roller to roll for the various types.
Later you might even make a condition that lowers the Strain Threshold and increases Wound Threshold, for those sessions obligation or Duty is triggered. So that when the condition is removed the stats go back to what they were before the effect took place.
PS: I am still working on the vehicles. I had a busy weekend, so I didn't get as much done as I would have liked.
Edit: Also One more category to add Vehicle Weapon, the location of the weapon. I have seen several of this in Genesys one being the World War II-Era Destroyer. They are also in Star Wars. For instance Star Destroyers. A good location for it to appear in the entry is just before the firing arc.
This please!Quote:
