About the full screen, man, i have the same question, i dont know
Ah, maybe my info only applies to the 5e ruleset...Quote:

Even if there are incompatibilities, I am sure it would be possible to move the important stuff over, like encounters, npcs, pcs etca
The library sevrick creates is compatible in both, and I encountered only one situation where the data is different between classic and unity, and that is international characters, but even that, our rulesets here can handle (I made a small code improvement for that)
So, yeah maybe test it
I have been. Not a live test, but I moved the campaign over and had a look. So far it seems to be good. Characters have been moved and are still linked to their respective players. Images are there. The pins on images linked to NPCs and Quests are still there. But, as I said, it's not a live test with players. I'll let you know how that works out after the weekend.Quote:

When I create Libraries I do it with Classic. As for me I havent run into any issues loading them in FGU.
I had a question about making a custom Star Wars character sheet/theme. What tutorials or resources could I use to make one for this ruleset. I've done it way back but for old Fantasy Grounds (art assets are easy, I'm an artist by trade) so I'd like to tackle one for this.
Also, is there any way to increase the font size in unity, extension or otherwise? My players, and myself, have horrible eyesight and the minute size of both the type and the special symbols are really eye-strain inducing. It's not anyone's fault, we're just all old.

Would this increase the special characters size as well?Quote:

yes, as they are part of a true type fontQuote:

Look at the example screenshot.
I am currently reworking the main tab, which will include what was in the Abilities one, and also initiative, experience, but most importantly, it will show Motivation (and also obligation etca for Star Wars)
For Motivation, and the other Star Wars fields, I was not sure if I should break down the description into two fields, for example like:
Type: Desire
Description: lalalalala
Or if I leave how it is in the screenshot.
The main difference is that if it is a single text, people would have to enter the type of motivation in the description (like in the screenshot), but if I separate into two fields, they would type that separately, and in the list view, it would be two columns (like for example how skills are)
What do you all think?
Attachment 41637
I could also release it this way, as one field, we could test it and change if needed (easier to add a field than remove, as it would not clutter the database, but it is a small thing really)
I like the two fields idea, and to be honest the more places where text formatting and bullet points can be done the better.
Looks nice, but it lacks a place to indicate the motivation's value.
^^This. Star Wars uses a numerical value to determine whether or not an obligation, duty and (I can't remember the force and Destiny one) comes up that particular session. These also are in flux so they need to be able to be changed quite easily. Maybe put 2 fields in experience (1 for earned xp and one for spent xp) and extend out the motivation tab to fill out the rest of the character sheet right under the Experience. More space to type, less cramped, etc.Quote:

Also having the talents on this page rather than having their own, I can see it getting cluttered real fast. Not sure how far along you are from specialization trees but I know if I put my star wars character on this sheet it would be a sea of talents.Quote:

If talents were moved to it's own tab it would give more room for this as well.
One other thing. Either Equipment type for attachments need to be expanded to allow Lightsabers and Lightsaber Crystals or add a subtype for attachments.
It's in the Advanced tab in Settings. There's also a chat command /uiQuote:

I willl remove talents from that tab, add it back to the abilities tab (rename it probably to talents)
And also add those things you mentioned
Personally I would prefer if each one had their own field, their own Header. I would put them in the notes tab exactly like the Ideals/Bonds/Flaws from D&D 5E, and maybe only one field at the first page, the Motivation Field with only the name and value for Duty and Obligation.
Let me give you my reasoning, since I believe that is the important part.
1. The one thing that makes things looks better in my opinion, is a "proper field". The feeling that something is cannon/official comes from everything having their own place. Recently, during a character creation session with my players, all of them preferred to build their characters in Ogg Dude and them just copy them here. I don't like that, I want them to get involved and excited with FGU/SWmodule. I want them to be proud they have access to this. I do understand why they did it. A better library for now comes in hand, but I think if we give each part their own field, would be a step forward. I think players need to love and trust their sheets, and so in the balance of: content fields x the better it looks lies what we are searching for.
2. I have had players with different levels of visual disability - the one thing all of them agree is that the lateral bar on characters sheets on FG are absurd. It is too small to read, and they usually just memorize the order. So having a specific field on the first page would be very helpful. Leaving the description in other hand on another tab leaves us with more space for information on the first page. No one needs to read the description of their duty or anything concept related all the time, rarely once or twice after character creation.
Questions:
1. Is there a place on the sheet to write down specializations?
2. I remember reading somewhere, many months ago that Unit would give us the opportunity to change the font in the same line, like letting me change from Headers to list or whatever without changing the entire line. I don't see here this. Did they forgot about that, a better editing/formatting tool, or am I missing something?
Edit: Is there a reason why skills are not sorted alphabetically?
I don't particularly mind where on the character sheet this goes, but it does make sense to have the ability to put the description inside a button that can be opened from the sheet wherever it gets put. Saves space elsewhere on the sheet (no sense having the information written down somewhere and then have to go hunting elsewhere on the sheet to find it) and someone with more skill with this thing then me can eventually include a table where hopefully the Duty, Obligation, etc can be automatically either rolled for or dragged and dropped onto the character sheet.Quote:

Why is there text above the dice roll icons and results? It clutters things up! Is this just a Unity thing or the last update or is there something I can do to turn it off?
Thank you for your feedback.Quote:

I am not a designer, and also I can only extrapolate some things from personal experience, and so feedback and explanations like these are very important.
OK, so lets break this down:
1 - Not yet. I am currently adding missing information like obligation, motivation etca, and later I will add specializations
Initially it will be just a place to list what specs your character has, but I will later create the spec tree. I want it to replicate how you see it in the official sheets, and in the books, so it becomes second nature using it.
2 - You cannot change a font, like you would do in a text editor, like selecting a different typefont and size. When formatting and creating rulesets, one type of field we can make is named formatedtext.
This formatedtext is a multinine box (like the ones you will see in descriptions in records like talents, items etca, and also the notes field in the character sheet.)
For those fields you as a user can right click and change the formatting in words and paragraphs, like changing characters to bold, italic, bold-italic... and also changing paragraphs to Title, lists, and a few others.
It is not as feature rich as an editor, and personally i would really like FG to give us more flexibility, but this is what we have.
So, if you see a multiline field in the genesys/star wars ruleset, try right clicking and see if it gives you the option to format things, but bear in mind, this is something we have to code, we need to explicitly make a field a formatted text field.
About the skills list:
It is still undergoing changes.
Initially I had all skills listed alphabetically, later I changed to order by Category first, and alphabetical by name second.
Have you seen how skills are listed in the old star wars ruleset? I wanted to go back to that, to make them separate lists by categories
But hearing your feedback on separate columns for things in the sheets, makes me thing about this even more, if I should do it or not.
Maybe I could add a button to allow players to choose if they want all skills listed alphabetically, or if they want by category
On the matter of separate fields and lists for motivation, obligation etca, dont worry that is what we will have.
Also most important of all, remember this is not set in stone.
As soon as I release something, please check it out, and give me your feedback
The idea is to make something that people will fully enjoy.
You also mention like how people now prefer to build their character on external apps like the ogg website, and I can totally understand
But like you said, yes it is my intention to make this something that will compel people into creating their char directly into the ruleset.
The idea being that once you start it up, you will not feel the need to use anything else to create your char, or play.
For now we dont have any calculations on experience, or anything, but believe me when I say it is in my plans, and the way I design the data structure and the code, take into consideration this next step in the development, soon

I am currently moving talents to their own tab, like it was before, and the "front" or main page of the sheet will list motivation, obligation, duty etca only
For those, what we will have is something like this:
Imagine each of the one above will have a header (like that blue header bar), and bellow it, the list
For the list, we will have fields:
For example for obligation, we will have the columns:
Name
Magnitude (numeric field)
We will also have a button that once clicked, will open a window with more details, this is where you have the big description field, where you can explain what that obligation means in detail, for example
For Skills, so I will see how I can add a way to make the user able to choose how they want it listed, but for now maybe I can go back to displaying as alphabetical?
That text is very annoying, and from what Moon Wizard explained, cannot be toggled off.Quote:

For dice sounds, someone told me it could be toggled off? I need to see if I can find out how to do it.
YEah, that text is very annoying and i really hate it that we dont have an easy way to turn off
Personally Alphabetically was best for my view but the ability to choose that on the fly would be a great feature. That said, feel free to put it at the bottom of the list as I know there are still a bunch of other projects in program that you are working on. Thanks again @johniba!Quote:

Thanks for all the feedback, and just wanted to thank you for your continuing efforts on this. Looking forward to what comes next!
Alphabetical is best, but also clustered by groups. The way Star Wars has it (General, Knowledge, Combat) is fine. It would be nice if there were headers above each category for quicker visual reference (or trying to fit in two columns so we can see everything at once).Quote:

Edge of The Empire
- Added appropriate subtype to each ship weapon.
- Renamed the Twi'lek Special Ability to match that of the Force and Destiny Core Rulebook.
- Changed Plentary Defense Force Trooper from having 3 frag grenades to 2.
- Added page number for Jetpack Vehicle.
- Linked Captive Rancor vehicle stats to NPC stat.
Age of Rebellion Libraries
- Changed the subtype of Frag Grenade, Missile Tube, Stun Grenade, and Thermal Denotator to "Explosives and Ordinance".
- Removed Extra instance of Repli-Limb Prosthetic (organ)
- Add missing entry in Superior Armor Customization. (Use With).
- Added appropriate subtype to each ship weapon.
Force and Destiny Libraries
- Add Force and Destiny Core Rulebook Libaries
Suggested Changes/Additions
- Add a type filter for NPCs for a search. This would be used to filter NPCs such as Creatures, Imperial Forces, Droids, etc.
- Add a Silhouette stat. Normally I would say to just put it in the abilities area but having it's own entry would prep for automation comparing size differences, etc.
You will see some tags at the end of names of NPCs. This is temporary until I decided how to fix them or am waiting on a fix.
Also I will remove the "No Des" from everything when an exporting/import feature is available.
I will hold off adding more until there is a place for me to add a source. That way I wont have to go back and add it later. I will still have to go back and add it for the core rulebooks though.
Also it would he a good idea to have a box next to the source for a page number. That way people could still have a page reference and a description.
Wow, this is the longest I've ever waited for an update or comment to be added. Must be the holidays! ;)
@mossfoot you got me all excited that something was happening here!
rofl same here I check it almost every 2 hours.Quote:

I assume it will be through effects. You will have to ask Johniba on that one.Quote:

Edit: Ok they really buggy not sure what is going on with the weapons. I can't change the shields in the vehicle tab. When I change it on the ship stats it's self, the weapons appear blank.
Also I noticed while playing I own a IG-100 Droid and I need a place to put him so I can edit his stats and things when needed. You could add a place like the vehicle but for NPC's. You wouldn't need to give it's own tab like the vehicles but just have it under inventory for player own/controlled NPCs.

On top of that, in january i will be on vacation, meaning most of my time will be paying games AND coding the rulesets, so I plan to make up for it then
Not to say I will not release new stuff soon though :0
What I plan to do is add a routine that when you are using equipment, and the dice pool is to be populated, it will read and parse the special field in the equipment, adding dice to the rollsQuote:

I will be working on automation probably on january
Noob question - Is this the latest and greatest for FFG SW on Fantasy? I got it from the first thread, and I didn't read all 116 thread pages to see if there was an update.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...oEoWSoSeVhWxR-
I'm trying to set up an online since we are locked down, again, and like most can't meet in person.
