This is fantastic, thank you!
There's ONE thing I've been trying to figure out how to implement myself but can't get it to work. Change the <distance> measurements from 5' increments to 1m increments. (Either that or add some kind of semi-transparent range "aura" that can be toggled on and off on tokens, but simply changing the distance increments seems a whole lot easier, and allows for GM flexibility in determining range.)
As the RPG doesn't use specific distances, but range bands, I haven't done anything to the distance measurement calculations. When running a game I don't use a grid - if I need to indicate to the players what range bands are there I'll put letter tokens on the map to indicate "distances" in a range band: S = Short, M = Medium, L - Long, E = Extreme. The beauty of the RPG system is that you don't need to measure distances accurately.Quote:

But, if you want to modify your own ruleset, look at the onMeasurePointer and onMeasureVector functions in classes\common\baseimagecontrol.lua
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I changed the multiplier from 5 to 1, and the return measurement from ' (feet) to "m" (meters) and it works perfectly. I understand the range band system, which the rules explains in relatively vague terms such as "several meters" or "a few dozen meters." So I like being able to see the measurements.Quote:

That's built in functionality of FG - you can't make the grid invisible or change it in any way (width, colour, etc.) other than the size of the square in pixels and the position. Guess I'm not your hero... :(Quote:

Also included with this update is Inquisitor templates with instructions and page references for completing your nemesis. More creatures along with juvenile entries. Then to top it off I have added a bunch of Abilities, updated the Talent entries to reflect the F&D Core book release, and last but not least, I added updated weapon (Lightsabers baby), armor, and attachment (Lightsaber crystals!) entries to this Library. These entries can be used to put together custom Lightsabers in minutes. As always this Library is still a work in progress and will be updated again in the near future. Happy gaming!
Miekael, your awesome! If I could chuck more reputation at you I would, but its asking me to spread it around a bit first :P
Cheers for this, much appreciated!
I came across an error I had made with the equipment tables, it has been corrected and updated.
7 Star Wars audio books on special at Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books
$15 gets you all 7 - and perhaps more will be added... Listen to Star Wars while driving, hiking, skydiving, scuba-diving, etc.. Or just while relaxing at home. :)
Or while flying a tramp feighter...
Thanks for the heads up.
This is great!Quote:

Well the library was just getting too big for itself, and with more to be added, I decided it would be best to separate the equipment and create a new library from it. I present to you, V1 of my Star Wars Equipment Library. Comes complete with entries from across all the books, with a section for adversary gear that will be updated after the GM Encounter Library moves to a V1 status (getting real close). Also to note the Starship and Vehicle Library has also received an update catching it up with Desperate Allies and becoming feature complete in itself. With Strongholds of Resistance on it's way, look forward to more updates in the near feature. Happy Gaming!
Thanks Miekael,
I for one, really appreciate the hard works.
We're getting a ton of use out of these libraries Miekael, Thanks a lot!Quote:

I am only looking for generic templates to put in the library, I am not interested in having Banthafoodo the Mighty from adventures in a galaxy far far away, taking up space. Also forgot to mention, the GM Encounter Library did receive a nice little addition in the customization kit, species templates, perfect for making npcs of different races on the fly. Also extremely useful for players to have a quick reference with a drag and drop of species abilities.
GM Encounter Library V1 going up now, same link as always. Enjoy guys, over the next month or so as I begin to flesh out a new campaign for my group I will be going through the adventure books, and adding the stats that meet my criteria. With that and Strongholds coming, this will probably receive another update real soon. Enjoy!
Has anyone uploaded any of the pre-generated character .xml's to import into FGII?
Here's a few.
Fantastic, thank you!Quote:

Cheers!
Once FG Con is out of the way (organizing it takes up around 3 months of my free FG Deb time) I'm planning some minor updates.Quote:

Plus it would be a huge task and even then wouldn't cover that much of the mechanics.
See post #4 for current feature requests.
Considering I use an ancient ruleset for Warhammer that features zero automation, automation is not something I'm bothered about lol
But no, I was simply curious as to further updates. As you said, its fully functional and fine as it stands, just wondering if there were any 'goodies' to look forward to in the near future :P
...when you drop ship damage it goes to the ship and not the player that owns the ship? :) :) :)

Also, more of a question: Is there a reason the GM does not have access to Player's notes?
One feature request I would like to see is for armor soak to be applied to the character's soak value. It's not a biggie, but requires the PC to manually increase his soak value whenever he is wearing armor.
There were a few issues implementing this properly and it was going to take me a lot of recoding to make it work specifically to this ruleset. I'm planning on leaving this until the rewrite into the FG CoreRPG architecture as this will then use the CoreRPG functionality and should just work.Quote:

Thanks for this! And if anyone has an opening in one of their games please let me know.
Nice to see Star Wars EotE being the highest played of the "other" rulesets last year (not including the generic base CoreRPG): https://www.enworld.org/forum/conten...D-D!)#comments
Over 5000 games last year. :)
That is great news Trenloe. Well done!
It is only going to grow now that the Force has Awakened. :)
1% of that was my campaign that we just concluded. :)Quote:

Sorry, there isn't a way to currently stop this.Quote:

A couple of quick questions, apologies if they sound like noobish questions, but I am pretty new to the software...
1. How can I apply a portrait to an NPC (either created in session, or pregen in the library adversaries section) or for a vehicle? Ive tried dragging the portrait onto the little dot in the top right of the npc/vehicle window 'main' tab, and it doesn't do anything...
2. How do you handle the destiny pool? Is there a tracker tool? I tried dragging the light side and dark side points into the chat window, but is there a way to have a visual reminder of how many of each are left in the pool?
3. Where do I put my map images so they show up in the images folder in the app?
Thanks!
Welcome to the FG forums!
I've moved this thread from the library modules thread to the ruleset thread.
NPCs don't have portraits, they have tokens. Drag a token from the token folders.Quote:

The only thing that can't be automatically done is a player adding a darkside chit to their pool - this has to be done manually.Quote:

Download the PAK file linked in post#1, put it in your <FG App Data>\rulesets directory - Go to your <FG App Data> directory by clicking the folder button in the top right corner of the FG launch screen. Restart FG and "Star Wars EotE" will be available as a ruleset in the "Create New Campaign" screen - see this video from 2:30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_fS-tnIzPk for directions to create a new campaign.Quote:
