And....
When I try to deal cards from the combat tracker this errors show up.

@Locotomo,

That has nothing to do with the hot fix for missing extension graphics that Jiminimonka just provided.

Can you walk me through the exact steps that you go through to see that error?
Also, can you tell me which extensions you are running?

Moon Wizard just accelerated the Hotfix - so it is live now.

That card dealing error is something else entirely, not sure it is related to Rifts, maybe a SWADE bug or extension?

EDIT: Might be the SWADE Action Deck you are using, try with that turned off (players can't read the Face cards on that anyway, at least ones over 35 years old...) ;)

I won´t be turning off something that I just bought for 10 bucks. Maybe you fix the cards :D

After the hotfix the error didn´t turn up anymore. Thx :)

Aaaaand now the Adventure Deck is not working anymore.
Edit: Somehow they do work now :P

Turning it off is to eliminate it from errors. I won't fix it, becaise I didn't write it.
If you get an error for a non-Rift product (like SWADE, Adventure Decks, etc.) make a post in a relevant thread. This thread is for TLPG only.

With "you" i meant somebody at Smiteworks.
Anyway, I am just a customer who likes to buy stuff that works properly.
I really don´t want to be "your" playtester anymore, constantly posting errors and bugs.
I do it here and mostly at the Starfinder forum.
And quite frankly, looking for alternatives at the same time...

I don't work for Smiteworks either. I took over updating Savage Rifts because the original developer had to stop for his own reasons.

Reporting bugs is optional and I thank you for it.

I have finalised the Rifts®: Game Master's Handbook and uploaded it to QA at Smiteworks.

That was two months ago. Have they given you any updates? I still can't believe it takes them this long to QA a product and list it.

How do you implement the Juicer Burn die? From the framework page there's no Ability/Power to drop on the character sheet that I can see, unless I'm missing something.

I created a full conversion borg who's strength is 12+2, so his load limit should be 140lbs, however it's only showing 100lbs. So it's giving him negatives to attacks. Any workaround?

EDIT: Figured it out, had the bonus in the wrong spot. Works as intended, error on this side of the keyboard.

It is supposed to have been released on September 6th... maybe Steam is the hold up. I will find out what I can and post an update.

It is awaiting approval on Steam, and apparently they recently changed their procedure for approval. Hopefully soon it will be on the store.

It's not in the FG store either. Does it need to get approve on steam before it can be approved in the FG store? I guess it would make sense since you would still be updating a steam product...

I think there is an agreement that both stores go live at same time, or maybe an internal policy, hard to day but steam holds up releases now and then.

Its part of the deal with Steam.

Looking at making Frameworks auto-populate, and at the very least making their "racial abilities" add modifiers and edges when dragged onto the character sheets and some other stuff.

Attachment 54597

Pity that $EDGE doesn't actually add the edge to the character sheet, I have noticed that some edges will work on rolls made by the character, even if they are not added to the CT. That is Ikael's area.

So this is what I am working on in the background while I convert a few other Rifts products.

Are you referring to when you set up a race in your setting module? $edge works for that if you add it as

Code:

---

[$Edge]

---

I have this in the game I use to create my setting:
Attachment 54603

I have this in the db.xml:

Code:

---

<description type="string">[$Quick]</description>

---

It adds the edge when the player drops it onto a character sheet.

Yeah, got that, but it doesn't put the edge on the Character sheet Edge section.

I suppose it doesn't matter as long as the player knows what edges the character has.

Double post...

Some edges don't work - $Alertness does not add +2 to Notice rolls when added (at least in my limited test)

Edges seem kind of his and miss with applying modifiers.

On a separate note, to create the damage for a Psi Weapon, which is Strength + (Spirit x 2), is there a more adaptive way to enter it than STR+2d6? Seems like have to hard enter the spirit die, which isn't a problem unless spirit changes, then it is something that one has to remember to change.

I am adding a note for this in the TLPG.

It is Str+2Spi in the damage box to get the right Psi-Sword damage.

For some reason I thought that didn't work, I will have to try it tonight. Can any characteristic trait be used for damage, like Agi, Sma, Spi, Str and Vig? And if so, are those the right identifiers?

Yeah they all work - in my Lankhmar campaign I have a Stiletto that does Agility damage instead of Strength.

Str+2xSpi doesn't work, (2 x Spi) + Str doesnt work etc. but Str+2Spi works just fine.

Good to know, haven't run Savage Worlds for awhile, need to brush up. Thanks! :)

I have re-done Frameworks now, they don't auto-populate when dragged onto characters, but when you drag the "Racial Abilities" onto the character from the framework list, most of the edges and hindrances auto populate the correct place and effects like Cyborg Super Strength will automatically change the characters strength etc.

Also, when you open the Settings window (the one that pops up first time you start a campaign) - the Data Modules page has a Savage Rifts Rules button, which will let you load the correct books without searching thru the Modules (thanks Damned and Moon Wizard)

Should go out in Tuesday's update.

I note Empires of Humanity is listed there under png 2.....I cannot seem to find it in the store.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I am glad you noticed my teaser. It is not on the store yet.. but I am working on it along with several other Rifts products.

Attachment 54809

Some of these are in QA already.

The Archetypes for Rifts are now available on the store. You can find them in Fantasy Grounds while running a Savage Rifts game with the Extension loaded, using the Setup icon to open Campaign Setup.

@jiminimonka

Off topic, I know, but I saw that Foundry released several new modules for Savage Rifts today (Empires of Humanity, Arcana & Mysticism, Blood and Banes, Tomorrow Legion Field Manual).

Are you planning on converting any/all of those for Fantasy grounds, or are they exclusive to Foundry? They include quite a few new archetypes, dragon hatchlings, etc. Looks cool, but Fantasy Grounds definitely handles the Swade Mechanics better than Foundry does currently.

Edit: I just saw that you had already done Empires of Humanity.

Empires of Humanity is done and waiting for Steam to get a release date.

The rest I am working on.

You are the man! When I saw they were released for Foundry, I nearly pulled the trigger, but that version of SWADE is such a mess. It doesn't handle vehicles correctly and it doesn't even handle Mega Damage at all. Looking forward to these when they're released.

Don't pull the trigger!!!!!

EDIT: Doing all those plus something else as well for Rifts.
