GUMSHOE - General Discussion

[chillybilly]

Hey guys. My group has been messing around a bit playing GumShoe and I noticed that with this ruleset (the one on the wiki), when I (the host tries) to add an effect, I see a

Ruleset Error: window Control(label) anchoring to an undefined control (leftanochor) in windowclass (ct_effect)

My players don't get the error. I'm certainly not a programmer but does anyone know if this is a complicated fix?

It is largely a cosmetic error.
It will need someone to fix.
Which exact ruleset are you using?
Almost guaranteed that it only supports label/text effects and not mechnical ones.

Thanks for the insight. Mutant City Blues. I basically just deleted the entire ct_effect windowclass and gave it a run. Everything works now without the errors! Sure, the effects don't mechanically apply to anything but they didn't anyway (like you said). They're just visual reminders that someone has a +1 hit threshold, etc. Thanks for the tip!
