Correct it is locked to that CoreRPG version from 2024 to ensure those controls and functionality would work. So it's time locked to that version.Quote:

If you create an extension to or use someone else's you can change that bit to something more useful. I have a Champions extension and a ShadowRun (3rd edition) extension based on this locked up MoreCore, and I had to make that change to get tooltips to show.
I'm more a hack than anything else (due to lack of time), but this worked for me. I put this my extension file's extension.xml file. Hope that is somewhat helpful.

Oh wow, that's terrrific! I'll attempt something similar for my extension.Quote:

When I have time I'm going to did deeper into the CoreRPG_2024.PAK and MoreCore.PAK, to see if I can find a setting where the tooltip text is having its color set.
You could also pull my Champions extension, and take a look at the code first hand. I also did something in there that made the right click able to create new rolls in areas of the character sheet.Quote:

I might also see if I can put it into a different small extension.
[EDIT]
Luckily I started using GIT at home for my extension projects. I can see that I also made some changes to the colors in the fonts XML file. I'll try to narrow it down.
RE: Unseen Tooltips...
OK, I really found it this time. I think. Fingers are crossed.
You don't need the stuff from my previous post. This is what you need. I think it is originally defined down in the greaphics/graphic_fonts.xml file. I tested it by adding it to a barebones, nothing else added extenstin.xml file. So if you don't have new fonts overridden in the graphics_fonts.xml file, then you should be able to just add it into your extension.xml file.
<!-- Tooltip font -->
<font name="tooltipbox">
<ttf file="graphics/fonts/Noto_Sans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf" name="Noto Sans" size="16" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
Hope that works for you!

Many thanks - I'll give that code a try.Quote:

Now if I could just find a way to allow a non-host player to move their NPC tokens on map images. That's not as bad as it sounds though - I just have them ping where they want their token to move to and then move it for them.
In addition, MoreCore overrode the CoreRPG definition of the tooltip background in the graphics/graphics_frames.xml. It's called tooltipbox.
If you want to change the background, you can either make your own or revert to the CoreRPG background.
The GM from my Pathfinder game uses the Cohorts and Companions extension to let PC's control NPC's. Not sure if it will work with your extension but worth a try. If it doesn't work plug-n-play, you might be able to go to school on how the creator did it.Quote:

That's a good suggestion. And I'm glad you mentioned it, as I really need that extention for Old Schools Essentials too.Quote:
