Genesys (FFG RPG) work in progress

Oh one thing my OCD is kicking in every time I create a new NPC the view starts on the skills tab and not the main tab. Not huge deal just something I noticed. :) It sounds silly even mentioning it.

Also I had a cool idea. What if there was button you could toggle for NPC sheets skills that made it to where you only see the skills they have ranks in? I think it would make for a much cleaner look and easier to spot quickly relevant skills. That way people who don't have the skills attached characteristic memorized can reference it if they need. If you did do this it might be better if it was in the options. That way you could flick a switch and it would effect all NPC sheets.

I think you may want to rethink the idea of replicating book by book all information.
Take as an example Genesys.
The Core rulebook has a set of skills, and then for example, Realms of Terrinoth, although it has in a page a list of skills, it shows which skills are from the core book, and only present a more detailed explanation only of the new skills
So for the purpose of being able to use them in a ruleset, having a separate module for Terrinoth, you DONT need to create a duplicate of each skill from the core book

Of course the three parts of Star Wars are even more interconnected, in a way that I believe eventually most people will use content from more than one.

There is a risk here that it would break the Backup Descriptions database.
So here is how that feature works: When you click backup/restore, the ruleset has to find a way to identify a record, so if you (someone using the modules) add descriptions to a record -- for example an item -- the ruleset will later be able to restore that description to the correct record.
The way that is done is through the ID.
The ID of an object is an automatically assigned number at the time you create that record.

So it means that when you created an item, it received a number. This number is exported to the module. It is the same number that will be used for backup/restore

As soon as you drag/drop that record, creating a copy, it will have a different number

That will make it so anyone working on populating their descriptions will have to start from zero again, if you recreate the libraries the way you said.

For now my suggestion is keep as it is: 3 different libraries... 4 at most (if you would like to have a separate one for the "black" books that are for all of the 3 pillars).

We can test this.
I can write a code that would copy every record in all 3 modules, and we export a test module, and ask everyone to test using it.

If that works and does not cause performance impact, it could help you decide if you want to have all of them in one place.

I am thinking now, that if performance is not an issue, it could be a good thing.

It would be very easy to move skills to the main tab, and move stuff from the current main to another.

I could do that for npcs only, or even pcs and npcs

It is up to you all

EDIT: When I created the skills list there was something I always wanted to do but could not at the time (I was not experienced with coding in FG) and that I think I could pull off now:
Separating skills by category.

What do you all think?

Do you mean have like a header in between the skill types?
Could work but maybe too cluttered. I would have to see it to give an informed opinion.

About the skills
I didn't mean moving the skills to the main page. I just meant the default view after creating a new NPC is on the skills tab instead of the default view being the main page. It really doesn't matter to me I noticed it few updates back and was such a small thing I didn't say anything.

About keeping it to 3 modules I assume you are talking about holding off on merging the libraries right?
because I plan on separating the compendiums, Adventures, and Area Books (Except Clone Wars I will lump the 2 of them together).

Yes I am talking about merging the libraries.

I am more concerned with the impact on the backup/restore feature than on performance, on libraries.
We could test merging them, but before that, I want to improve the backup/restore feature, to make the code smarter so it could handle better identification of records, instead of relying only on the internal ID

For merging, I would also have to find a way for the Source field either to handle multiple sources, or something, so for example, instead of duplicating a record because it exists in multiple sources, we have all sources listed in the same field.
The issue here is that i dont know if the filter will work.. i need to do some testing

And then, after these tests, if you want to merge all 3 modules into one, it would work.

You could still have separate modules for adventures or anything else, like the Era books too

Hmm filter option could be the way to go. Imagine if you could tick a box near the rest of the filters that said "Hide Duplicates" You would then have to have some sort of priority list the user could alter to display the library they want to use if there are duplicates. For Example you could set an order like this:

Force and Destiny Library
Age of Rebellion Library
Edge of the Empire Library

That would mean that any duplicates would prioritize Force and Destiny 1st and hide any duplicates lower on the list. Like Wise if any Age of Rebellion Duplicates appeared any conflicts between it and Edge of the empire it would show just Age of Rebellion. That is of course if that same item isn't in Force and Destiny otherwise it would win the conflict. Very much like the way Load Order works for games like Skyrim.

It sounds like a nightmare to code, But if you pulled it off it could mean not making another combine library and just use filters. What ever you choose to do I am good with.

About separating the skills I could be wrong and it could look great.

I will see if this is possible, I can try. It could be in short term the easiest thing to do.
So the above is Option A




Option B would be If we go the route of merging the libraries

So from my point of view, here are the challenges on merging the libraries:

1 - Backup/Restore: I will find a way for the code to identidy the records better, so this is not a big thing to stop us

2 - Performance: I dont really think it will be a big deal. I already by default open all modules at the same time, and also DND5 for example has hundreds of records and i have no issues opening a lot of them

3 - Source field great newsI just found out a way for us to use the Source field to add multiple sources!
So here is the idea
Imagine we merge all 3 current libraries. You would be able to just do this
Lets say for example, you see 3 records for the skill Brawn
They are exactly the same except each is from a core book, and each has a different "Source"

Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook (131)
Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook (120)
Force and Destiny Core Rulebook (129)

You could edit one of them, and have source be like:

Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook (131), Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook (120), Force and Destiny Core Rulebook (129)

And then remove the other 2

I will update the filter for Source, in a way that it will work


EDIT: I just thought that in option A, if we add a way to filter duplicates, it can mean filters may not work 100%
For example, if we filter out a record from force and destiny as duplicate, if i use the filter to hide duplicates, this record will not show.

Duplications is indeed a challenge... we see this happening a lot between dnd modules.

Since I built a new PC a few months back I have not reinstalled FG Classic.
Yesterday I did, ran a few test and noticed a lot of errors.

I will try to fix those things later, but they are not a high priority, unless it is affecting someone, so let me know.
At this point I am really thinking if it is worth it trying to keep up with the code changes just to make it compatible with FGC

I just noticed there are some weird things like Specialization Tree is completely broken

In the month or so since the specialization trees have been available, you've gotten no complaints about any of the new features not working on classic. That seems evidence enough to me that we can safely put classic to rest. RIP.

Not only this, but the previous ruleset (which is still findable on the forums) from way-back-when works well on FGC, I would suggest pointing people to that ruleset instead, and continuing the development on this one.

Just one GM's opinion

I agree Fantasy Ground Classic is officially unsupported by Smite Works anyway. At least they said that awhile back they were going to stop supporting it.

I would never suggest using that old ruleset.
It is very, very outdated, but I guess each person will have an opinion on it.

NEW RELEASE!
Version 2022-07-14

Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.

Fixes:
- Combat Tracker: Updating Wound Current in a minion would not update the remaining number of minions in combat tracker. Fixed
- Combat Tracker: Mion and Rival npcs should no longer display Strain fields (as expected)


Improvements:
Genesys: Added filter for Settings in several database windows
Genesys/SW: Improved filter for Source, in several database windows


Known Issue:
If a PC enters a shared player vehicle, and later this vehicle is deleted, the combat tracker entry for that PC will not update the current vehicle.
Workaround: Either remove/readd PC to combat tracker or reloading the campaign will fix this.
This will be fixed in the next release




How to download the new version:

FG Unity:
You can subscribe to both rulesets in FG Forge. This will ensure that they are automatically downloaded whenever I upload a new version.
(P.S.: everytime I upload a new version here in the forums, it may take a few hours for it to show up in Forge, as it requires Moderators to approve)
(P.S.: If you have already done this before, you only need to click "Check for Updates" in FG Unity, and the download will start)

To subscribe and download the rulesets, follow the links:
Genesys: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/143/view
Star Wars: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/159/view
(Remember, if you want to use the Star Wars ruleset, make sure to subscribe/download BOTH)

FG Classic
Recent updates in FantasyGrounds is making it hard to keep updating the Rulesets to make them work with FGClassic
For now I do not suggest using the updates in Classic. I will later provide a link with the most recent ruleset versions that still work in classic, in case anyone need.


Modules and other extensions need to be downloaded from the above link below
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...R-?usp=sharing

Download Genesys ruleset even if you are playing Star Wars
Always remember to download BOTH rulesets if you intend to use Star Wars

Sweet release. I like the changes to the pictures on the icons and the movement of descriptions tab to a different category. Thanks so much Johniba.

Out of rapt excitement, what is next priority on the to-do list?
Personally hoping for planets tab.

Regarding planets two ideas:
1. A tab or location for a picture of the planet
2. Much lower priority but I have hopes of populating the planet tab, and the getting a map to drag and drop the planetary descriptions onto the Galactic map. That said, how difficult would it be to alter the default push pins to another more galactic map appropriate icon?

Currently I am designing the new Attachment Mods feature. I need to be careful with this one, as if I do not do it right, it will need rework when I start developing automation.
I am almost done designing this "on paper". I did the same approach with the specializations tree...One thing about development is that there are multiple ways to do something, but making it future proof is important i think...

So, now that i see your explanation on planets, I think I will do it first, mainly because creating a planets database is super mega quick
I will also make sure to add a spot for the picture. There is one thing though:
Due to the nature of this database I highly suggest sevrick leave this one out of his libraries (because the database will be pure descriptions)

About the pins, I dont know if they are available for customizations and even if they are, if it is possible for example, to choose when to use the new images (makes sense to use them in space maps, maybe not in ground maps where a traditional pin is best)

EDIT: in paralel, I am redesigning the Actions tab, in specific where the weapons are listed.
The new one will use a similar code to the one we have in DND5.
At this point I will add a way for players to add extra dice (semi automation: so the ruleset will not add dice automatically when a player has a particular talent, but the player can add the dice automatically to the weapon, editing it)


This new Actions tab will have extra info under each weapon:
- Not only the current Quality list, but also extra effects from attachments and its mods.
- We will also have the current weapon repair status: undamaged,/minor/moderate/major

My biggest challenge now is that one feature needs the other:
- working on the attachments mod requires that i think ahead on automation (otherwise it will need rework and editing all attachments again later)
- working on adding repair status also requires that i make it so it will work with automation (damage = minor should automatically add a setback, moderate adds a difficulty die, and major should not allow the weapon to be used)
- all of the above need that i work on improving actions tab
- improving actions requires that i rewrite the draging of dicepools to the shortcuts bar :P

So that is where i am at :)

This all sounds so cool! Thanks for planning on adding the Planet Tab soon. Will give me something to work on while waiting for the awesome automations your talking about!

I was wondering if it was possible to add a bar at the top of the skills columns that would let you toggle what you sort by.

For Example
---------Skills--------
[Skill] [Type] [Char][Rank]
Brawl Combat BR

So if If I click Skill it will sort the list alphabetically Ascending if I click it again it's sorted descending. This would go the same for the other columns. This would also remove the need to add the previous suggestion about hiding skills with no ranks. If you could sort by ranks you could bring all the relevant skills up to the top.

It is a common functionality for lists in other programs, but I don't know if it is something you can add to FG.

I think it is possible, I will check

Automation is cool, but having the ability to put in the extra dice on the character sheet is a very nice "until then" Good stuff! Also, those specialization trees and the backup/ restore system are working like charms. Appreciated.

This is also a great top of the pile request. No idea if it is possible, but many talents also remove setback dice automatically. Being able to add negative setback as well as boost dice would also be a nice feature.

This is what I like the most about discussing my next moves here. The feedback you all provide give me a good idea on what to focus.

So here is my updated plan the next update:

0) Planetary database (this is super easy to do)
1) Update drag and drop to hotkey bar (needed for a lot of stuff, including item 2 below)
2) Updating Actions tab
- look and feel like the one in DND5
- add maintenance status (undamaged, minor, etca): this will add dice automatically to the roll
- customizable "extra" dice: including negative (-1 setback will remove setback right before rolling, for example)
3) Attachment mods
- Optional mods will list as rows inside the attachment, each one containing an icon to represent status: not installed/installed sucessfuly/failed to install
- initially this will not add dice automatically (but players will be able to use item 2 in the list to update their weapons with extra dice)

After that is all done:

- Continue my research on a customizable "tree" window, that will be used both in Force Power trees, and Signature Abilities.
- Improve Combat Tracker for players

I am super excited about everything on this list. Thanks so much Johniba!

About the Planetary Database

I wonder if I should make it just a planet's database, or one for locations in general
I see in the books they have planets, so it makes sense, but i wonder if someone would like to record other places: star systems, space sectors, or even regions in planets

Planets have a very specific loadout with common information shared by all. Other locations, or systems can be populated by the story tab. I think just a planet tab should be good, and maybe a field at the bottom that can include notes, hyperlinks, and connections to the story tab, encounter tables for planet specific encounters. Maybe hyperlinkable field, with lots of space in astrogation, major cities, areas of interest, special conditions and background.

EDIT:
I would also break up Orbital Metrics into two entries, Days per year and Hours per Day
Trade route should also have hyperlinks.

---

I think that people would link things like Regions and sectors to a story entry for that. I don't think it would be worth it adding additional databases for those.

I think having a planet database would be awesome. I think you could put a place on the planet sheet for sector, region, etc. Or you just do star systems that allow you to have the planets as sub elements since that is the most relevant location.

@sevrick perhaps you could include some story tabs for the sectors (inner core, core, mid rim, etc), so that we can populate those as well and they will carry over as part of your frameworks.

First off I want to say this is a heck of an effort for free rule set. Well done.

Secondly if anybody is looking for a 1st gen rpg'er into any genre, I'd love to get into a Genesis game to check it out.

Available Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I'm on the east coast (U.S.), but I can be pretty flexible with the hours of play.

I suppose but I wouldn't be adding much because there is still the issue of Copy Right issues. I would latterly just create the story entry and the title. Even if I did that there might be people who do not want it cluttering up their story entries. Planet Databases seems like a good idea, but anything more that that I think would be a waste. Now that it is much easier to add your own reference manuals, I figure people would just add it there and link the information from the reference manuals.

my thought is that it would be able to be included in your framework so that in the astrogation data where it tells you what section of the galaxy it is in there could be a pre-available story link that we could drag and drop (or have pre-dragged and dropped) which would connect to the region of space. Ie. Coruscant says its in the core worlds, so story link to Core worlds dropped into Astrogation Data. From there all we would have to do is populate the descriptions on the galaxy sections and we'd be that much further along.

I dont think that would be needed.
If there is any need to filter out data from the planet database, it would be a good moment to decide on fields for that.
Usually I just create fields to populate data based on those we see in books, but it would be a good idea to think ahead, on things we would like to filter.

I dont think story stubbs are needed really, i think this is a bit too much. I think each person can create their own story database, but i can create filters that will help in checking and finding records in the planet db

Fair enough. Your statement about how we want to filter might just be enough to help. My suggestion then is this: Just like i recommended splitting the data for Orbital Metrics, Split astronavagation data as well. Give us 3 boxes, one for System, Sector and Region. Region (Outer rim, Core Worlds, etc.) should be the one gets set up to filter the planets.

While updating Genesys Expanded Players Guide, I noticed that in addition to settings have skills they also list the talents used on pg. 39. I wonder if there was a way to populate Setting entries with talents based on what has been established in the talent entry?

I can add that with little effort. I will put on my list here

NEW RELEASE!
Version 2022-07-22

Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.


Improvements:

- Improvements to the combat manager code. This will not be obvious to players and GMs, but the code update will help in future updates and improvements.

- Added new filters to databases:
Item Database: added filter by Special
NPC: added filter by Species


Known Issue:
If a PC enters a shared player vehicle, and later this vehicle is deleted, the combat tracker entry for that PC will not update the current vehicle.
Workaround: Either remove/readd PC to combat tracker or reloading the campaign will fix this.
This will be fixed in the next release

NEW Features:

- Star Wars: Planetary Database.

Hey everyone,

I decided to release this new version. It does not have a lot of new things, but I know some of you would like to see the planet database, so there it is.

Next, here is what i am working on. I will be focusing on items 1, and 2 and probably release again, before the attachments improvements, as those two items will help with the other one.
I have also researched on the Signature Abilities, but I will focus on the other items first :)

1) Update drag and drop to hotkey bar (needed for a lot of stuff, including item 2 below)
2) Updating Actions tab
- look and feel like the one in DND5
- add maintenance status (undamaged, minor, etca): this will add dice automatically to the roll
- customizable "extra" dice: including negative (-1 setback will remove setback right before rolling, for example)
3) Attachment mods
- Optional mods will list as rows inside the attachment, each one containing an icon to represent status: not installed/installed sucessfuly/failed to install
- initially this will not add dice automatically (but players will be able to use item 2 in the list to update their weapons with extra dice)

After that is all done:

- Continue my research on a customizable "tree" window, that will be used both in Force Power trees, and Signature Abilities.
- Improve Combat Tracker for players

@johniba love the update been chomping at the bit to get started on entering these planets.

@Sevrick if you want to collaborate, I don't know what info we should or can include in the files that you publish but i am happy to help.

@Joniba, there are WAY too many ways to search these planets. Source, Region and MAYBE sector would be more than enough. Thanks for all the work you do!

Looks good. I noticed some things

1. The notes section in planets it isn't setup to backup the descriptions.

2. I don't think Areas of interest and Major Cities is needed as a filters. Since they will more than likely be unique to each planet. The others I think are fine.

3. Not sure if it is possible but what would be cool is if you could ancor a place to the top right corner where you could add an image. This is where you could add an image of the planet. This of course would have to be omitted from exporting due to copy right.

4. Also if you wanted to touch it up a bit I would organize the filters to match the way they appear in the records.

An application of this I didn't realize is that you could identify planets that likely to do trade base on imports and exports. If you wanted to have a game that dealt more with trading with other planets such as buying low and selling high. It's pretty cool.

Trying to input the data for the planets but it is resisting hyperlinks. If System, Sector, Region, major cities, areas of interest, trade routes, and special conditions could all have their text boxes improved to be able to hold hyperlinks that would be great... however i am guessing that in order to be able to sort planets by these things they cannot be set to have the hyperlinks can they?

Edit: there is a galactic map that is provided in all the FFG books and this map is kind enough to provide us with grid coordinates. Perhaps we should add a field for grid coordinates in Astronavigation data?
