Osric retroclone ruleset

I had to create the ruleset sub-directory. I know I created it in the correct location (by using the Application Data Folder Icon). Then I un-zipped the OSRIC.zip into that sub-directory. I now have 1 folder (OSRIC) and 3 files (OSRIC-monsters.mod, OSRIC-Spells.mod and osricruleset.pdf within the rulset sub-directory.

When I started FG2 it does not give me the option for the OSRIC game, only 3.5 & 4

Still does not work.

I have Windows 7-64 and a headache. Any further help would be appriceated.

Ok..., idiot here. Vanna White - give me an S

very important rule: Check your spelling. The sub-directory is "rulesets" not ruleset.

Please commence beating me with a stick.

The .mod files should go in the modules directory.

Maybe a way to disable encumbrance from coins. Easy enough to work around, so low priority.

Yes, I'm thinking about different levels of automatizations. When I started this ruleset, options were not a feature of the DD3.5 one. House rules were the reason I've tried to make that this ruleset can be easily modified via the "oldschool_references.lua" files.

I've finish the Heroquest 2 ruleset (I've just to delete all the "print something" lines added to debug the scripts, and upload it). I will rework on modules soon.

A couple very minor things that certainly could not be considered features.

1. The tab sequence in the NPC window is a little choppy - it would be great to be able to tab through the fields in order from top to bottom. Right now, it skips a little and I think dead ends in a couple places.
2. Dragging combats (crossed-swords button, top right of table) to the combat tracker gives an error - it creates the entry in the 'Groups' tab with a single empty NPC field. Not an essential feature, but I would use it if it worked.

Other features I would like to see - these are probably major projects and might be beyond the scope of this ruleset:

1. Group initiative (is this already possible?) as in 1st edition
2. Player combat tracker.
3. Double-click to roll.
4. Auto-number NPCs when dropped in the tracker.
5. Tokens disappear from the map when NPCs are deleted from the tracker.

I know those last 5 features might not be possible, but I included them anyway... Thank you for your excellent work!

Rule of Three, is there a setting to prevent changes made to the character sheet using the mouse wheel? It's extremely annoying having to QC the skills tab each time we look at it or use it.

BTW, the OSRIC ruleset is awesome! Even with the mouse wheel hassle, the skills tab is very useful, allowing us to use whatever skill system we want. I can't think of another ruleset that allows that; very intelligent design!

I thought I had already changed this one. Will upload a minor new version.

just downloaded the ruleset and loaded it into my AppData folder. when i try to bring it up on FGII, i get a black screen with this message:

Script Error: [string "shortcuts"]:1: attempt to call field 'registerContainerWindow' (a nil value)

i tried reloading the ruleset 3 times with the same result. any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Where did you download the ruleset from? I've just downloaded the V1.44 Osric.pak from the "Library" link at the top of this page and it works fine for me.
