Hey,
I know I made more changes than described above but I didn't write them down. ;) (I vaguely remember adding a place to note down character's meta-attributes)
One notable thing that is not touched are Psy powers that still use old system.. Oh well. Not a big of a deal.
I did one session with it and it works and is usable for my group so I don't think I will udpate it further (however there are A LOT of things to improve - especially for combat).
Have fun.
Hey guys, I've got a question. The Dark Heresy ruleset seems to crash for me, and not save.
"Runtime Error: Unable to create directory: C:/Users/Ryon/AppData/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds/campaigns/Dark Heresy: Ordo Xenos/usersettings" is what I'm getting.
Anyone know what's going on?
Edit: Tentatively seems to work when I remove the colon from the title. If that shouldn't affect it, hopefully someone has the answer. If it would, due to it attempting to create a folder when I exit- and the folder not being capable of containing that character then... I answered my own question.
Either way, thanks!...
Yep, that's the reason.Quote:

Any thoughts? This is seriously debilitating my ability to use the module, and I love it dearly.
Thanks in advance!
There's an error in the code - open the "Other" tab if you get this error and try re-locking again.Quote:

Taking a quick look, it looks like line 38 of npc.lua has to do with vehicles, a feature that Paul Pratt added (the Other tab). If you still consistently experience this, I would try sending a private message to Paul.
That is ... if you are using the 1st edition ruleset.
If you are using the 2nd edition ruleset that radekg added, I would private message radekg about this.
I cannot tell where the actual error is coming from as I cannot seem to replicate the problem myself, though to be honest, I am not using radekg's version and I may not have the latest version that Paul created loaded on my system either.
It's an easy fix. The current code for lines 37-39 is:Quote:

This one change will remove the error and fixes the issue.Code:if vehicle.subwindow then
vehicle.subwindow.update();
end
No update yet ... I will contact Paul to see if he wants to make the update or if I should (he touched it last).
This is not for 2nd edition, though radekg uploaded a version of this with 2nd edition material in it.
I updated the ruleset (see first post). Problem should be fixed now.
Does anyone have a Library Module for Dark Heresy they could share with me? Like PM me. Maybe we could set up our own wiki or outside website to keep stuff like this. Since it is not allowed on the fantasy grounds site.
I'm halfway through translating a Spanish language - Star Wars Saga edition Library module I could share when done. It's huge! all the expansions.
Not allowed.... full stop. Copyright law prevents you from sharing this data with anyone else...Quote:

The problem is that FFG don't own *all* of the rights to these - Games Workshop do. FFG have specific rights to produce a pen-and-paper RPG - not a digital version of that game (which is what VTTs are viewed as by company lawyers at this time). FFG would have to take out another licence to be able to provide this type of support - as much as we'd like it to happen, it probably wouldn't be a too lucrative add on (compared to the cost of the licence) for FFG.Quote:

If this is too controversial to explain here - please send me a private message then and I will keep the response private and not post the answer on the forum.
Head Hurts

Moon Wizard was mentioning the 3.5E ruleset as an example. DataCommon.skilldata is still present in the 3.5E ruleset - look in scripts\data_common.lua.Quote:

However, it doesn't look like there's any code that populates the skills in the WH40KDarkHerasy ruleset. For an example of how to do this, look at the 3.5E ruleset, campaign\scripts\char_skilllist.lua, constructDefaultSkills() function. This steps through DataCommon.skilldata and creates all of the skill entries (new windows within the skill windowlist).
My understanding is;
Take the file "char_skilllist.lua" from 3.5 PAK then save it to the same folder in the DH-PAK?
I am literally "feeling" my way around this issue - I might hire a programmer to figure this out for me if I cant
MorbidDon
This is the data_common.lua file from the Dark Heresy PAK:
https://www.wurkhaus.com/fantasygrounds/data_common.lua
So as I mentioned before (I do see the skills in there) - just dont know how to get them to auto-fill inside of the Character sheet?
Morbid
P.S. Trenloe - i'd be willing to pay for you to update my files (paypal)
Please Advise
That won't work. It's going to need code specific to the WH40K ruleset, taking the 3.5E code as an example and building on it.Quote:

Guys have a much more full featured Dark Heresy 1.0 version. It may need a few updates for the latest FFG changes, but it has re-worked skills, a different weapons layout, and some other items I started a while back. I can post it if there is interest. I haven't worked on it at all to move it towards DH 2.0 though.
I'd like to take a look at your DH ruleset - so I can learn & the compare code - I think the insight it could provide would be great.
Otherwise for the establishment - not for nothing but FG needs a Ruleset Editor for those who don't know how to code nor wish to learn (prerequisite - you need to code to play it your way = wingo Fing go)
This is pretty high up in the wishlist, but when a crowd funding project was ran for a third-party developer to produce such a ruleset it didn't fund. Some info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...Ruleset-wizardQuote:

I can't stress enough to not open this in an existing campaign, your characters, items, and NPC's will be changed.
Sciencephile, I am not sure you want to post this version, check it out, you own the thread, if you like and decide to post it at the top of the thread, please warn users that this version is not compatible with existing campaigns.
I will give your version of the ruleset a go - though I still don't see the skill's section populated with the skills that are in the game - at this point I'm willing to just fill out 1 Character Sheet and have it used as the Player's Starting TEMPLATE - for Character Generation - I cant believe how difficult it is to just populate the skill's section - heck Ive even offered $ for someone to code it for me, to no avail (and XML its supposed to be easy, right lol)
Morbid-Don,
I have the ground work for a skills list in the data_common.lua There is the basic list with the attribute it is tied too. However, to use it, the skills tab of the PC and NPC would have to be reworked, and the skill scripts would have to be reworked. In speaking with several players and my own group we decided to leave them as fill in's and have the ability to toggle the attribute to roll against finding it more useful. It is extensive work. An easier way would be for you to create a library for skills, that way players could drop the skills into the tab and they would populate. Creating a library with the correct references is simpler I would think. The library would only work with the version you are running. The base file at the top of the thread versus the file I just posted- any created libraries for one, would need to be altered to work for the other.
I wouldn't say no response in less than 24 hours is to no avail - you might get someone soon. Then again, you might not... ;)Quote:

Morbid
Another caution I have against populating the basic skills from the rule book is copyright. If it is populated is that and issue to use the names of the skills that come in the DH 1.0 rulebook? Looking into it, it might not be that difficult to do, no reason to add the advanced skill, unless a player buys them they can roll on them. But the basic skills would be an improvement.
I just don't want to step on toes ...thoughts?
Without any knowledge of what the skills are here are some examples to consider -Quote:

If your skill names are quite generic - and you dont include verbatim descriptions you should comply with copyright laws.
As damned says, generic skill names are fine - just don't include the descriptions.Quote:

Even rewriting descriptions to get the same information across can be encroaching on copyright.
I created / exported a Character Sheet "template" with all the skills loaded + full descriptions for each...
For those who dont know how - try this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVdZ8j0e24
After importing it back into FG - you can keep importing the same XML file - thus creating new "template slots" in which for your players to claim during character creation... This was the easiest solution to this issue (I have nothing constructive to say about Gamesworkshops precious licensing)
What part of the ruleset would I have to edit to change the list of actions in the reference sheet at the end? I'm playing Only War and the ruleset works fine for the most part, but I'd like to have the correct actions listed there.
edit: My bad, my searching finally bore fruit just after I posted this, ignore me.
There's a ruleset for it: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/..._40K:_Only_War

Scroll down and you'll see under the heading ref10_label the actions such Full Auto Burst, and it says Full Action. You can change Full Action to say Half Action. Make all your changes and save it. Then copy that edited file, open up the zip in windows, and paste it into the Dark_Heresy.zip\campaign\ folder and it will zip it and overwrite the xml file in the ruleset. Then you can rename the .zip back to .pak
I keep getting players whose weapon tabs get "corrupted", the ranged and melee weapon details appearing at the same time with the error:
"Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/weapon_utility.lua"]: 33 attempt to index a nil value
Sometimes it goes away after deleting all weapons on that character, but usually it seems to linger on those characters like a disease, corrupting all of their weapons from there on.
Make sure that everyone is using the same version of FG
Does the GM see the same errors if they open up the character sheet weapons in question?Quote:

Pardon my ignorance, but does this ruleset work for Second Edition?
Nooooooooo that'd just be too cool for FG LMFAO
