Just wow... It takes a while to do a full blown conversion of a rule set. Just give him time. It's not like he is going to be getting paid to create the thing, it is something that he is making in his free time. Bet you there are things more important than a rule set that are taking his time.Quote:

What I do know of xml/html/etc is that it doesn't take two years to finish something on this small of a scale.
However, I'm patient and am no longer looking to run a Shadowrun campaign over FG, so I can wait.
Also, I'd like to thank him for at least working on this and getting it mostly finished even without giving some more recent updates.
Thats it. If i work 2 Jears on something i have results even if it is a hobby. Indeed i can learn a whole programing language like C# in two jears. Else it is not more than warm wishes.Quote:

These guys who work on rulesets for us, do so in their own time for nothing but the love of the game and the community. I'm thankful for any effort that they are making as I for one cannot.
If you can learn C+ in 2 years, be quite and learn lua/xml, go away and come back with your ruleset.
Only the second time I have been disgusted by a post on this forum, congratulations :mad:
I've helped with a fair number of rulesets and I can guarantee that the time involved in even the simpler elements (pdf --> module) is not inconsiderable.. Given that this was intended as a free module by one of the Community's more talented individual's ...
A check of threads will probably give you a clue as to why a SR ruleset has not been quickly forthcoming. I'm sure it will happen, heck ... if it's that easy ... go do it yourself, you'll find lots of people will be only to pleased to use it and, some may even offer to help.
Also if he is anything like me (also been working at mine for about 2 years) he might have a somewhat workable version right now, but with house-rules implemented. Getting one out for public comsumption might be less of a priority.
But as others have said... If it is so easy, why not go build a few and sell to DA, they'd be delighted to give you some good cash for your work and the little time you'd have to invest being that fast.
Any new developments on a SR4 ruleset? Anyone else been working on one?
Any news since 6 months Sloejack, it's very hard for us to rest in silence. Could you give us some news on your work please? I hope you didn't give up because you do a very nice job!
Now where are the games :)
