Auto XP Calculator (Extension)

[RTFallen]

Not compatible with FG v3.2.x

As of FG v3.2.x the Pathfinder ruleset has this functionality built in. Briefly mentioned here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post315680

An extension to automate the updating of the CR and XP values in the encounter window.
PFRPG

• Version: 1.3.2
• Download: Attachment 7282

3.5E

• Version: 1.2
• Download: Attachment 7281
• Note for DMG XP Rules: The calculations in the encounter screen only allow to estimate how much a single character will receive for the encounter (this number will carry over to the party screen). All individual character XP calculations are done when you award XP for the encounter through the party screen. Encounters with just XP and no npcs/monsters will be divided among all characters in the party evenly.

Install: Put the ext file in the {FG DATA}\extensions folder.

Pictures: In Post #3

Planned Updates:

• [Both]
  
  • Party sheet XP automation.
    Looking to automate the XP required to auto increment when a character levels and send a level up message to the user of the character. (Would love to add the victory sound bite from FF VII, but that's copyrighted. )
  • Check for dead/unconscious party members during XP distribution.
• [3.5E]
  
  • Auto calculate APL from Party Sheet.
  • Increase character level/APL support up to 40. (Currently 30)

Other Thoughts:
With the differences in the XP rules in the two rulesets I'm thinking it's best to leave them as two separate extensions.

This is more of a hobby for me, so I don't really ever plan on making any money off of it.

If it helps the community, then that's payment enough for me.

Nice one. By-the-way, you have zipped up the folder to create the extension - so there is a folder within the zipped file. This means it won't show up for activation.

When you zip up the extension you need to do it from within the folder - select all of the files at the first level of the extension and zip those up. You should see the extension.xml file as soon as you open the zipped file, if you see a folder name only then FG will not recognise it.

[Trenloe]

Additionally, calculations don't work correctly for multiple creatures of less than 1 CR. Add a creature in with CR 0.5 and then make it 2 creatures - the CR jumps to 2.5. I understand where that's coming from...

You might find it easier to calculate all of the XP for the encounter as a whole and then work the total CR back from the total encounter XP - this will make it much easier to work out the total encounter CR especially for multiple creatures with different CRs in the encounter, especially if there are creatures with less than 1 CR.

So, I'd recommend, using the crToXp table to work out the individual XP of each creature, multiply by the number of creatures, add all of the different creature XPs together and then use crToXp again to work backwards to get the CR based off the total XP for the whole encounter.

Thanks, fixed it. That's what I get for working until I almost face plant my keyboard.

Will take a look at that when I'm not tired. Don't want to screw anything up.

No worries. Really good for your first extension - especially doing database event driven code.
