You're correct on that one - I've allowed the character sheet from GCA to do all of my thinking (brain fart admission on my part).

What I'm doing now is using a 200 point character named Beowulf, and testing things based on GCA versus what is showing in the information. It has been a while since I've run a purely TL3 or less campaign, so I'm double checking things one step at a time. In the print preview of GCA, I've got Beowulf with combat reflexes, using a medium Shield, with a shield skill of 16. Half of 16 is 8, so Block is a base 8 plus 3 for active defenses, gives a base of 11, plus 1 for combat reflexes, for a base 12. So that works as it should in the sense that the basic block is 12 in GCA. What I did notice is that it doesn't seem to have a Defensive Bonus value based on the actual shield used. Is there a way to have a DB value on the combat sheet? This way, if a player is using a medium shield with a magical bonus to Defense Bonus equal to say, +1, I can enter in a 3 DB value to modify the Block?

I think you mean Basic Speed.

You can record shield DB among other things within the Protection section of the Combat tab.

Make sure you have the latest release, I added that ability in the v3.0.1 update.

Roonke thank you very much for your work, for your patience and especially for offering us a new GURPS based on CoreRPG.But I still have doubts ...Type the part of rolling damage and subtracting PV can be used without fear.Another thing, I was watching the video and realized that you could roll an attack or dodge directly on the target and it would appear in the chat, I was trying to do that and it did not work.

Are you sure you put the PC / NPC into the combat tracker, then dragged it from the CT to the map? Because it works fine for me when I do that (and that is the preferred method).

No i don´t made a map..I will try again

Yako, Andraax is correct. The target must be in the tracker for the targeting to work. You can drag n drop to the token on the map, you can also drag n drop to the combat tracker for both client and host.

A new update is available...only aethstetic changes.

Andraax and Ronnke, you're right I had not seen, I found the symbol || Very confused, I think the symbol would be better.Ex: Heroi [ATTACK]> Villain or even Hero [DODGE]> Villain

I had done that originally, but when you tack on a bunch of modifiers, the target sort of gets lost in the text following. Putting the "Villain || [Something] ... " seems clearer to me. I'll see what other say about it.

I'm all set with my character import. Thanks Ronke. One thing I am wondering, on the main tab on a character sheet. Is there a way to tell what enc level the character is currently at? I think the previous version used to have the current level be in bold

Not at present. Behind the scene this information is still stored. I'm just tossing up a few different ways to implement this. Give me a week or so.

Perhaps there is no need. I was really trying to get at the current dodge value on the main sheet. I see that the current value is listed on the "combat" tab.

Also, on the main tab, the current Move tells you what column to use for dodge.

Ah, I had forgotten about it. Very nice to be able to watch it and work through the ruleset at the same time!

One thing i noticed, and maybe it is just me, but I don't think the range penalties are being displayed on the map. I think it would be also useful if the range penalty to a target is automatically applied to the attack dice role. I don't see how this would be "automation", after all one is still interacting with the map, and the tracker. As has been mentioned before, this is just adding and/or subtracting.

Seeing the combat tracker on the Player side is really great! Definitely like the status descriptions (Healthy, Fair etc.). I see on your wish list that you are thinking about adding hp trackers on the various limbs. Would it be possible to modify the status in some way to reflect this ( CRA = crippled right arm, perhaps)?

The range penalties are not being shown. I'm still trying to come up with a nice method of doing this. On the subject of autocalc the mod on attack rolls...GURPS mods can be situational. There may be instances in which you don't want the penalty applied (eg. Self guided weapons). I do have some ideas on this front, like having the range mod displayed in the tools area of the map, then you can click or drag if you need to apply a modifier.

As for CRA in the combat tracker...that's a bridge I'll cross when we get there. Happy for people to offer suggestions.

A new update is available...again only aesthetic changes.

Do we anticipate being able to use the "Gurps_4eTableRolls" with this new ruleset?

It has support for CoreRPG tables built in. Adding the tables is pretty trivial. And probably would violate the SJG policy if the actual tables were distributed.

Nope. The Tables method Andraax mentioned is the way to handle it now.

A new release is available: v3.0.2

This fixes the language bug. No other bugs were reported. Yay!

Hi Ronnke
As I am a bit curious, what was the problem I had in the language part, something very complicated or not?

I don't understand what this is addressing? Is there an intrinsic language ability similar to "Gurps_4Elanguages.ext? If so, how do I access it?

One thing I just noticed is that the on the "Main" tab, under the "reaction" tab. The reaction modifiers are not listed as shown in the video, at least with a char imported from GCA4. It lists the modifiers, but does not have them as clickable. Are they meant to be active, or am I meant to add them myself?

Another suggestion. Remove the character point totals and such for players when they choose their character at launch. I'm not sure why players should be able to see those values. Makes sense for the GM, but not the players.

Not complicated. it was related to the location of the character languages in the database.

Yes, CoreRPG has languages built in. You can create languages for you campaign in the options screen. The dropdown in the chat window will then be populated with your campaign languages.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to see that, but I will make this an option to can turn on or off. What are the thoughts of others.

Well, I don't want my players comparing point values with each other. I also populate the characters list with NPCs, and I want their point total to be unknown.

Players can only see their own characters. So, they can only compare point totals among character sheets that they control anyway...

Hrmm, perhaps I am being misled because I only know what I see when I run a 2nd instance as a player on my own computer. If what Andraax says is correct, there is nothing that needs to be addressed.

Connect with one player name, take control of a character. Then connect with a different name, you shouldn't see that character being controlled by the "other" name.

And for NPCs in the character list, you can right click on them and select "Take Ownership (as GM)".

I can access a sub-window using the "languages" button, from the options tab, but run into difficulty. I see a field where I can manually enter a language (Elven for example) and a corresponding drop down menu where I assume there are meant to be font choices. Unfortunately, there are no choices available. I have also tried placing the "Fantasy Language Fonts.ext" into my extensions folder, but do not see it as something I can pull into my gurps campaign.

I don't use the languages feature, so I'm familiar with the intricacies. I will play around or maybe someone more familiar, can advise.
