Is it just me, or after 1 look at that to do list, I am afraid of saying anything else that might add anything else to it?Quote:

Much appreciated!
Well I am in favor of having as many items in that list as possible.Quote:

One day, when most of those things are done, I still want to develop a new ruleset for Warhammer Fantasy RP 3rd edition, and one for Legend of Five Rings.... both systems i love that also have narrative dice
But I will only start those when I feel that both SW and Genesys are feature complete
Edge of the Empire
- Added item to represent the Melee Stats for Sokhli Spray Stick.
- Added Ax -108 Surface-Defense Blaster Cannon as a vehicle weapon. Also there seems to be conflicting rarity with the weapon stat and the attachment. If anyone knows what the proper rarity for this weapon shoul be let me know.
- Added Weapon profiles for Underslung Scattergun and Under-barrel Flame Projector. Stats like this that are attachments that have weapon stats as well I have a tagged subtype of Attachment to let you know it isn't a standalone weapon.
Age of Rebellion Libraries
- Moved the 3 on Hull Trauma for Aratech R82 Jump Boots to System Strain.
- Added Repulor Pack as vechile stats.
Force and Destiny Libraries
- Added Specialization Trees for Force and Destiny Libraries.
- Changed Knowledge Specialization talent from Passive to Active (Incidental).
- Changed Savvy Negotiator talent from Active (Action) to Passive.
- Changed Healing Trance (Improved) from Active (Action) to Passive.
- Changed Overwhelming Aura (Improved) from Active (Maneuver) to Passive.
- Add Respected Scholar talent because it was mission from Disciples of Harmony book.
Thanks for all the support I am seining in the comments.
Also I was able to get Force and Destiney trees out faster thanks to Xaraxs help.
This is great to hear; I'm having to use a bigger font as one of my players has a tiny screen and terrible eyesight, and struggles to read the default font, but it unfortunately makes the specialisation window completely mismatched. Some sort of scroll window thing would probably fix that right up!Quote:

Happy to help. I've got most of the books too, so if you've got a project that you want to split and I've have the book it's in, I am happy to help contribute to this awesome project.Quote:

Namely I want to be able to put hyperlinks to weapon (and sometimes armor) qualities in the special field instead of having to include them in the general field.
Attachment 53307
No idea what it would take, and ideally it be great to either have these Item Qualities (minus the descriptions of course, but fillable) baked into either the framework that Sevrick publishes, and eventually for the purposes of automation built right into the game framework itself.
Thanks again!
I already have plans for item qualities. The way we implemented (as a comma separated list) was an idea I had when looking at how some actions/powers and other fields were implemented in DND5Quote:

If you look at the actions field, each particular piece of it (the action, damage result etca) is parsed separatelly, even though it is a simple text field.
I will be implementing this for SW/Genesys, so the specials field will be interpreted when we get to have automations
But before automations, soon I will be adding a specials database, and I will be adding at least this parsing functionality so that when you hover your mouse over and click, a window will popup with a record in the specials database, for that entry
This would be good to have posted on the 1st page. It will help avoid people wondering if your going to do x. They go there and see 1st before posting.Quote:

Sevrick - Even though it's not in the books, perhaps you should add "Unarmed" "Punch" or some such thing to items so that they can be added to your inventory and weapons slots?
Huh... I had it so I could change the background image to something I wanted (so I could give "City" "Desert" "Arctic" "Jungle" vibes and so on) but that option seems to be missing in Options now? I can only add a Star Wars decal now (boring)
Also, am I missing something regarding talent trees? I can add and adjust the trees on my end, but the players can't (get a Script Execution Error instead)
I can do that.Quote:

After that I will start giving automation some focus, and at the same time work on other smaller things in the TO-DO list

I just checked. Looks like when I added that part of the statblock to Actions tab, I did not add the code to handle different npc type.Quote:

Yes, the target goal is to have a feature complete ruleset, one that will cover all aspects of the booksQuote:

I prety sure it is there but I well check when I get a chance.Quote:

Thx I will fix that.Quote:

Trying to Start a campaign with the Modules that I have edited, and The are empty of the descriptions I added. Tried restore all in description backup, but still empty. I am probably missing something really obvious but can't figure out what. Thanks in advance for the help.
Are you also loading the modules from Sevrick?
YesQuote:

- Open the campaign you are going to use
- make sure to open sevrick's modules
- also open your module, the one you exported with descriptions
- go to backup descriptions database, check if you can see those descriptions you backed up
- click "restore all"... and check some records in other databases to see if restored
If that does not work, let me know, we can check together to see what happened
/export just the descriptions, is my problem. Thanks Johniba.
Hypothetically, supposing that I wanted to set up a module with no redundancies between the three game systems is there an easy way to that or should I create another campaign, load Sevrick's mods and my own, and then drag and drop the items with descriptions and then delete the originals all one by one? Probably more of an Author question, but perhaps someone on this thread knows.
I know it doesnt help right now but I have thought about how I could make another module that combines everything thing. It seems like a lot of unnecessary work.Quote:

I can play around with the code a bit and maybe copy all the data from the modules and past them into a a new campaign. But I if I did this it would only be after I have finished entering all the books to avoid doing everything twice with each time I update.
For the most part the only duplicates you will see is this will be from multiple core rule books being opened from the libraries. The only other place you will see them will be with the compendium books.
You could do that:Quote:

It is quite a lot of work, but that would work. Everytime sevrick updates the libraries, if you wanted to, you would have to recreate these steps....
I think I could try to create a button in the backup descriptions database to do that. I am only not sure if people would get confused using it, but we could try.
I need to test a few things before doing this. I have to check if copying an item like that will not cause issues anywhere in the campaign.
Every record has an internal ID (a number) that identifies it.
For example, if you are not careful and create a copy of a record, edit the description and backup that record's description, the ruleset will know that description belongs to that particular local record, and not the original one from the library.
In this case in the future, if you repeat this method, you would see that the description is no longer restored (because the backup/restore could not find that record.
I will try to think of a better way to hide duplicate records....
Also I wanted to ask if any of you are familiar with the Order 66 podcast. A while back they did a show where they combine Genesys vehicle rules with Star Wars. To give star wars vehicle combat a much needed face lift. Anyway they mention how you could do this but you would have to alter the base stats a bit of each star wars vehicle along with a pdf that has somthings to keep in mind. I am going to make a module for my self that has all the vehicles with the stat changes suggested. I was wondering if there would be an interest in that. I could also add the pdf to the module since it is not under copyright. Having it here would just make it easier to have it all in one place.
No need to derail the to do list on my account. Just wanted to make sure that I had the best current way of doing what I was thinking of doing. Much thanks again to all!Quote:

I too would be interested in taking a look at that.
This one? Yeah, it was pretty neat! That sounds cool.Quote:

I am thinking I could easly create a house rule option to turn on/off in the ruleset.
Turning it on, all those stat conversions in the vehicles, I can do them automatically
Then I think you would only need a module with the new talent/skills etca
That would be super awesome.Quote:

Sevrick, is there supposed to be anything in the special ability's section? I see it as entirely empty for all three files.
No. I never found much use for this in the star wars libraries. Very few special abelites show up enough times to justify having it. For example Droid or Amphibious. I suppose this is there for Genesys. You make almost all your NPCs and some books like Secrets of the Crucible have specific special abilities that you can mix and match.Quote:
