Genesys RPG - Using the Star Wars ruleset to play

[damned]

Hi Datalore doing it the way you have means any time Trenloe makes changes to the SW:EotE ruleset you will need to redo your graphics changes.
That is why an extension is the better idea.
You dont have to make a new extension you can (Trenloe has stated he doesnt mind someone taking over the extension maintenance) work within this extension.
As to to Todd not responding - that is not permission - you do need to wait for him to confirm he is ok with it before sharing.

Fair enough. Thought I would share, but I will just pull down the link then.

Well that sucks. I hope he can show you how to do an extension. Thx any way.

Hi Datalore both are still worth persisting with.
Give Todd a bit longer to respond and/or send him a follow up.
For the extension you are going to do something like this:

Find one of the graphic assets you are swapping out.
Use a tool like Notepad++ and its Find in Files feature to find that filename.
It will be in something like: graphics/graphics_frames.xml
Copy that file to your extension.
Include that file in the extension.xml
Copy the art file to the correct location.
Repeat many times.
Remove unnecessary lines of code.

Repackage up.

Sorry everyone! holidays and all, i didn't see any of this. Of course you have my permission to do this... my only request is that you call it something unique, and remove any of my logos. Basically I don't want to be trouble shooting problems in a system i'm not familiar with. Other than that, please do what you're trying to do. I have to say i'm flattered.

What damned is recommending above is basically how I did this entire extension... many graphics replacements, and trial & error. If you would like, i'd be happy to send you the source vector art if that will make it easier. Be warned, it's all setup and organized in Illustrator CC...

Again, sorry for not getting back sooner, i hope i didn't cause any problems for your group. If you get it all up and running, i'd love to see some screen shots.

Thanks a bunch Todd. I will give making the extension another shot today.

Good luck... and don't forget to stand up and stretch at least once every 14 hours.

FIXED

Here is the updated LINK.

Also, here is a screenshot. Thanks again, Todd!

It seems to fail when I make it a zip. Weird.

You need to ZIP from within the extension directory, not from outside. extension.xml has to be at the root of the ZIPped file, which then needs to be renamed to .ext

Cool, I fixed it and updated the link.
