Drat, just closed browser without thinking... will try and recreate what I had put together...lol

Is Circle for Talents and Skills no longer relevant? As far as I remember, esp for Talents, knowing what circle it was acquired was important for legend cost and advancement. Similar for skills as well I thought..

To remove Circle from Skills, there are basically 3 places you will have to edit/comment/remove.

charsheet_skills.xml about line 37 has the list header entry for Circle, and about line 393 has the textlistitemvalue for Circle.

charsheet_templates.xml holds all the little boxes/spellcards/popups that are on most list items, found by using the little magnifying glass or double clicking the name/description field.

Around line 1351 you will find the windowclass called skillfull, and below that around line 1721 is the labeledstring for circle.

Keep in mind that commenting these will cause any existing characters in your db.xml to have values for circle in these, but it will inaccessible. I am unsure what this would do to a current character, so please back up your existing campaign first.

If I may... I suggest copying the ruleset to a different name and creating a new test campaing while you are working with it, so that no existing characters/campaign info will get damaged.

I will try and be around and help as much as time permits:)

For ED3 at least, it is still vital. You are right that advancement cost is dependent on the circle at which you purchase the talent.

I had a go lat night at updating the dice steps, as we are playing an all-weekend ED game this weekend.

I edited the step_action_lookup.lua file with the new dice (up to step 40), but i guess scripting is not my strongpoint, and it just seemed to crash the ruleset! I assume there is more to edit than just the lookup details.

That's really all you should have to edit..

Step 10 goes from D10+D6 to 2D8
Step 14 goes from D20+D4 to 2D12
Step 15 onwards replaces the D20 and D4.

In step_action_lookup.lua:

@ line 115:

Code:

---

    elseif stepnum == 10 then
        return {"d10","d6"}, 0;

---

should become:

Code:

---

    elseif stepnum == 10 then
        return {"d8","d8"}, 0;

Let me know if it keeps giving you hassles and I may try and get that updated for you...

Thanks for that.

That was the only file i changed, and only changed the dice "numbers". I get the error:

"Script Error: [String "scripts/step_action_lookup.lua"]: 1 '=' expected near '>>'

I could actually send you the lua i suppose. If there is a simple error there, i don't mind updating the rest of the steps

I've been working on this for about a week now. I'm not a programer by any sense of the word but I dabble a bit. I have the new 3d edition steps in there and it seems to be working just fine. I also modified the /step command to handle step 0 to not return an error. When you type /step and a number higher than 40 it defaults to 40. Still working on getting the character sheet to do the same. I can send you my modifications if you would like or just show you how.

I also borrowed some code from the 4E rule set and got the hex map to work right. My big thing right now is trying to set up modules for monsters and talents/skills. The monsters work great but I'm having trouble with the talents. I'm using the "reftalentfull" template to display the ta in the library but if the formatted text is too long to fit on the screen it doesn't allow scrolling. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I open the template using /openwindow reftalentfull and type info in manually it scrolls just fine, just not when I pull the data in from a module. If i ditch the formattedtextfield and use a stringfield it scrolls fine but I can't use links to other talents and things using a stringfield.

Good job! Just be careful that is how you get hooked. ;)

I think it's too late for that. :D

I have some experience with Lua from messing around with WoW addons. XML is sort of new for me but it doesn't seem too difficult. I've been wanting to update this ruleset to 3rd edition for awhile now and finally have some time to do it. I'm more than happy to share what I do but just don't expect anything too fancy.

Edit: Oh, and I fixed my talent problem. Forgot to inclose the data in <p></p>. So silly.

Welcome to the club. We all had to start somewhere. I know that is how I got caught up in it.

Just keep taking small steps and before you know it you will feel pretty comfortable digging into most things. Also don't hesitate to ask questions if you have them. There are a lot of very helpful people here.

Good job tracking it down and don't feel too silly. I know I've had my share of silly mistakes. :p

I could use that for this weekend!

Why have you defaulted steps above 40 to 40 though? I agree there are not many occasions where it will matter, but it would be useful to have the steps above 40 available.
