Genesys (FFG RPG) work in progress

Quote:

---

As an alternative to clicking the "roll dice pool" button, a player can instead use the /rolldicepool command

---

Definately a good idea!

Quote:

Talents in main tab now also show description, so it is easy to read all talents and what they do. (I will later do the same for Species and Special Abilities)

---

That could easily turn into a wall of text, you would have to scroll through. Perhaps not so bad for Genesys, but for Star Wars. That will translate into lots and lots of text. It is certainly an interesting idea for the ease of fast reference.

Regarding the symbols:
As I have done before, I started making a reference for the symbols by typing them directly into FG. I could not make any of the force symbols work. All others worked fine.
Also, while you can have dark / light side results on dice, the corresponding symbols were changed from Edge of Empire (when the other ruleset was made) to Force And Destiny, where they refined a lot of things.
The symbols for Light / dark side was replaced with a "force symbol". This is how it looks like:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...CE%2BGUIDE.jpg


Career / Species:
I noticed that links dropped into the Career / Species slots do not make a copy of the reference, but merely links to it, unlike most other rulesets. This is fine, if you do not ever tinker with these references. However, if you want to customize 1 character slightly for - say story purposes - you would have to make a copy of said reference, alter it and then link it to that specific character - otherwise you would change it for all other characters too.

My personal view on this, is that any link dropped on to a character / npc, should be its own copy and not a reference. Because it is so easy to mess things up if you don't.


Well... I promised myself I wouldn't get ahead of myself and start working on stuff that I have planned before the dice symbols where in. I guess I don't have an excuse anymore! Great work so far!

There is a new problem with the new updated version of the ruleset with FGU just FYI:

When ever you drop a dice inside the Dicepool now it comes with the following errors

I just tested the update and noticed that having the descriptions shown my not be the best. The descriptions can get quite long. You could have it reference the summery window instead. That way it's there for who want to make use of it. And if you don't just leave summery blank. Still it's up to you.

I had idea for the talents you could have sub categories for talents on the main page for different tier talents. This would be handy, for example so at a glance you could tell how many tier 1 talents you have so you know how many more you need before a tier 2. It also would be good for NPCs to see at a glance what there most powerful talents are. If you do go this route something to keep in mind is that there is no such distinction of tier talents in star wars so the extension would need to be changed accordingly. The summery idea would work even better with star wars since you could use the description they have in their trees for the summery.

I noticed some of the weapon names and weapon qualities gets cut off in the combat tab of the NPC and PC. I don't know if it could be fixed by allowing the players to resize the window or if making the name column wider would be better. For the weapon qualities if it word wrapped so to speak that would work.

Other than that everything is looking great thanks for your hard work.:)

That is a very good reason, and I am pretty sure the same problems would happen with Genesys, so I rolled back to how it was before.

Thanks, while testing with creating new fonts, I saw that difference. I will make sure to take this into consideration when creating a new font for Star Wars.
I wont be able to reuse the same one that the SW ruleset has, since it is not TTF.

Career / Species is working the same way as Classes/Races work in 3.5 and 5.
When something like a Talent is dragged/copied into a sheet, it makes a copy of the whole record, so in the character we have all info from that record, in a child node.
That means we have efectivelly a complete sub-record, so clicking that link in the sheet opens up that copied record and not the original link.

For Careers and "Races" though, that is different.
We are only populating the Career/"Race" description, and just checked in the case of DnD 5, when you drag something like a class, it will also input more info into the sheet from that class (Something i will have to work and do too, because in our database careers and races will have subrecords like abilities for example, that we want copied over)
So I just copied that behaviour when making the ruleset.
I could copy the career/race record into a subrecord in the character node, but i think that would be overkill.

I think we have a choice: I could be done with the link and remove it... or we keep it this way.
There is a bug that affects 3.5, 5 and also our ruleset (it is an issue in CORERPG i think, which all use): if you dragged a race/career/class into the sheet, and want to remove, you can empty the description, but the link remains, and the only way to change that is by dragging another record into it, and i want to fix that later.


BTW: I have removed the talent description, and reuploaded the ruleset

- Talent descriptions:
Yeah it was a bad idea and i reverted back (download available already)
What reference summary window do you mean? Does it exist somewhere already, where I can look at? If not, describe what you mean and i can make it work!

I like the idea of tiers in the main tab.
Maybe I could list it like Skills are listed, add a column for the Tier, and also reorder the list, showing something like:

Talent description - Tier

So you would see:

TalentAAA - Tier 1
TalentBBB - Tier 1
TalentAAX - Tier 2


Also, this makes me think i need to improve the Talent database window... allow search filters by tier, and possiobly make a window similar to items, for talents, so we can have a nice window displaying them... i will make this

When it comes the time to work on the update for star wars, I will take this into consideration, i will have to look at the rulebook anyway, and get you guys feedback....
We may have some improvements also, maybe features SW ruleset users have in their wishlist

I just had an idea.
I think i will change the layout on the combat tab, make that part where weapons are displayed wider, putting talent/etca below it.
That way, i can make that combat list a one liner (just like the skills tab)
I think this will solve the problem, plus i thought of something else:
This way in combat tab i could maybe display ALL weapons the character is carrying, and just like in the inventory tab, add the "carried/equiped" icon.
This way during turns, the player knows if the weapon is in his hand or not, and even during play inform he is spending a mavouver to equip, for example.

After that, below weapons, i display one half to the left: talents and abilities... and to the right: crit damage, ongoing effects

I think the window will look better

When entering information into a talent the summery is there I just never filled it in because I didn't know what it would be used for. I guess now we do.:)

That sounds good with the talents. I pictured it differently by Replacing the Talents Header in the main tab with; Tier 1 Talents, Tier 2 Talents, etc... Then when you dragged talents from the library and it would put it where it goes. This way you wouldn't need to add columns that would take away room from the summery description of the talent.

Either way not sure witch one would look better yet.

Sounds awesome. Although I can't get a picture in my head of what it would look like I am sure it will be good.

Imagine just like the official character sheet

I will also relist skill, so it will have the same columns as in that part of the sheet

As far as the Career/Species goes, The thing the other systems have done is make it to where you drag the premade Career/Species on the character and it adds the appropriate stats. This would be a awesome. Of course that would mean each Career/Species would have to have a place to enter the information much like talents or weapons.

This would be low priority I would think though.

Yes this is on my list: i want to improve the species/archetype record also:
I will add all info like we did for items and talents, even initial stats etca
So when you drag that into a character, it will populate with initial stats, xp, etca...

I only have to think what i want to do if a player does that after he has already modified his char... if he drags another archetype, he could overwrite any stats he entered.. so maybe i do a check, maybe not in the beginning though

I would just say that it overites the changes. To be real species is one of the 1st things you do and career is a close 2nd. I would think they would just make their changes after they have applied the species/Archtype.

Maybe it is new because of FGU updates (almost daily if not more)... but It did not fail before with older versions of the ruleset and/or FGU. It did not complain before for sure when I tested it. Dice seem to roll and work but it is complaining about that error. They probably try to enforce as much as possible clean code to avoid issues. The have mayor issues with code as they cannot return back to menu for example they need to exit to clean up enviroment.

Actually thank for doing these tests, it is always good to have someone that is running in FGU... I am not activelly trying to run it everytime, but whenever you see an issue lemme know.
I will at least write these down so i dont forget to fix later

I am sure i can fix it, since it only happens with dragging, and not double clicking...

Maybe someone can help me. I am trying to figure a way to enter the descriptions for me without having to create a new campaign folder for just the non descriptions. I came up with an idea to use find and replace.

Search: <text type="formattedtext"></text>

Replace: <text type="formattedtext">See Genesys Core Rulebook</text>

The problem is how do I tell notepad++ that I want replace whats in between <text type="formattedtext"> and </text> with "See Genesys Core Rulebook"?

You don't, you just let it replace the whole thing as it is still correct and will contain the description text.

e.g.
Replace "<text type="formattedtext"></text>"
with "<text type="formattedtext">See Genesys Core Rulebook</text>"

That doesn't work because each description is different. What you told it to do is find everything without a description and add "See Genesys Core Rulebook".

What I am looking for is some sort wild card formatting that it will know to replace whatever is there with "See Genesys Core Rulebook".

It depends

If what you want to replace is those empty tags with one with content, you just do exactly the search and replace you mentioned.

If you want something specific, there are ways to do search and replace with regex in notepad++, but i am not sure i understood what you want

So I am modifying the combat tab, and I am in a dilemma so i decided to share it here and get opinions.

I am trying to make the weapon list more clear, expanding its width, so I will also put talents/abilities and critical/effects below it

I am making the weapon list expand if the player resize the sheet, but talents etca will have a fixed height

I am wondering if talents/abilities really are important to have in the combat tab. What is the impact if i leave it only in the main tab, and the player clicks there to look at it?
If I removed talents from combat window, i could also expand the critical list, and possibly add the critical description.

If not, I could also expand the sheet default height, make this talent list higher, but i already think the minimum height for this sheet is too long already.

P.S.: in the screenshot, talents/abilities/critical are one window but if i keep them there, i am thinking of splitting into two windows: one to the left with talents+abilities, one to the right with critical+effects

Check the attached screenshot
Attachment 31647

So I have filled in the description for the talents and items. I want to edit the code by removing the descriptions and adding "See Genesys Core Rulebook" in its place and saving it as a new file I can distribute.

In the code all descriptions are between "<text type="formattedtext">" and "</text>."

So replacing this: <text type="formattedtext">This is a weapon description.</text>

With this: <text type="formattedtext">See Genesys Core Rulebook.</text>

I can show you how to do regex replace, but one question: will you just leave "See Genesys Core Rulebook", with no page numbers like before?

Sadly yes because I would rather have it be this way than have 1 campaign for community and 1 for me and that would be for each book. So far there are 4 source books 4x2 is 8 campaign folders. You can only imagine if i started doing star wars source books.

BTW I do own all the star wars source books.

You can try this:

In notepad++, first test with find

in Find What use:

<text type="formattedtext">.*</text >

in Search mode, select "Regular Expression"

Try hitting "Find all in current document"

If it find all lines and works, you can now use that in the replace window

Same thing, except for replace with:

<text type="formattedtext">See Genesys Core Rulebook.</text>


It may not work is the start and end tags are not in the same line, but i remember using this at work, and i think i used a notepad++ plugin to make the tags go into the same line, i would replace, and later use the plugin again to make it idented again

Nope didn't work.:(

As far as the combat tab lay out. It looks like you have the name of the weapon take up half the width of the window. What if you shurk the weapons window horazontaly to the right. Then leave a small space to the left of the weapons for critical and ongoing status effects. It would make sense for those to be lumped together anyway.

Below those have the species and special abilities to bottom left and to the right the talents.

Something like this

Critical injuries (1/4 of the window taken up on the left side) Weapons (3/4 of the window taken up on the right side)
Ongoing Status Effects
----- ------
Species and Special Abilities (1/4 of the window taken up on the left side) Talents (3/4 of the window taken up on the right side)

Give the things less window space that aren't going to play as big of a role. The amount space need for Crits and ongoing effects should be minimal since you won't normally accumulate that many. Like wise Species and Special Abilities on PC's you won't get any new abilities most likely. You may however give them a little bit more room on an NPC sheet though.

Ever growing is your stash of weapons and talents as such they should take up the majority of space.

ok, maybe you can send me a few records from your xml file, and i can try to find a solution to replace the data...

I will look tomorrow at your combat tab layout suggestion

I think it is convenient to have talents on the combat tab. Less switching of tabs in the middle of a combat if you have combat based talents.

So I did some more testing and noticed the Identified/non-Identified item function hides everything except the Non-ID Name and the Non-ID Notes.

I was thinking about what if you made everything show when not identified except: Non-ID Name, Non-ID Notes, Price, and Rarity. That way you would kill two birds with one stone. It would 1st hide the high cost and/or Rarity of a magic weapon or armor, so as to not give anything away. 2nd it would allow for Players to appraise items. Players could just expect all items will be missing that information by default.

I can definitelly do that, and we can test it.
By the way, did you manage to edit your files?

Not yet.

Edit: Also just noticed that you can't enter ranks in a talent on an NPC or PC sheet. The box is there but just will not allow you to enter an amount. I also noticed I click the box and type the numbers end up in the chat window.

Edit: 1 more thing I am not sure why but when dragging a token onto an npc the token is way small on the sheet its self. But when dragged to a map it looks ok.

So I have been doing a lot of description entry and I noticed that some descriptions are going to be way too long for the combat tab. So I had a thought. What if you added a summery tab to weapons category and that description would be what goes in the combat tab. It would basically be the crunch if there is any.

Hi Sevrick,

Yeah basically what it was originally in the sw ruleset, right?
I've been thinking maybe i can have another solution...
I want a very lean combat tab, but also i want good info for the player, so i will tinker with some ideas, maybe a separate mini combat window that could basically give more info on weapons?
Then we remove all descriptions etca, we only list the weapons, since well, after you play a bit you should be familiar with your weapons...

I will focus on finishing the missing features first, if you are ok with it, I want the ruleset to be feature complete first.
I will work on this before i finish vehicles though

Oh yeah no worries. I just wanted get my ideas out there. It would be nice to have it in a playable state. I am going to try play it as is this Sunday. For the most part the bare bones is there except the combat tracker. If you aren't done with the combat tracker by then I can do it through other means. Dont feel you have to kill yourself getting it done on my account.:)

As for as your idea we could try the mini combat tab and see if it works

I will certainly try to make a viable combat tracker by the weekend
Independent of that, have fun and i cant wait to get feedback from you from your session

I am planning on running my first genesys session on Sunday as well. I would like to use this version going forward but the combat tracker not ready and assigning damage not working for me will have to put that on hold. Once I am able to use it, I will provide feedback as well. Thanks for the hard work. Ill keep an eye on the thread to see if those functions are working by Saturday night n

Hi Grizzled, thanks

Can you explain the issue you are having not being able to assign damage? It should be working

If I drag the damage from a PC weapon roll over to the NPC minion group I created, I get this error:
Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/manager_char_genesys.lua"]:764: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

I think I know the problem. Are you using a weapon from the library? If so I think I may have forgotten to upload the realms of terrinoth library with the rich text changes. I will reload them as soon as I get home from work. Which should be in a out 5 hours.

I did use the library and just brought over one of the swords into the inventory.

Just as a test I created a weapon in my inventory and attacked with it. I received the same error with the custom weapon I made.
Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/manager_char_genesys.lua"]:764: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

Here is the info I added for the weapon:
Type Weapon
Subtype <null - left blank>
Skill Brawl
Damage +5
Critical 2
Range -


I then modified the weapon stats to be a straight damage 5 and it did apply the damage. I had to restart the program to get it to work. Once that error happens, even straight damage hits do not apply any damage. So it may be something with not being able to add the Brawn in automatically?

Hopefully that help. And hopefully it is not something I screwed up by tinkering with anything.
Thanks.
