Calendar Plus Extension

[darrenan]

This extension modifies the Calendar window. In the lower right corner, next to the "All Logs" button is a new button that toggles between the calendar view and a new timeline view:

In the timeline view, all of the calendar log entries are displayed in chronological order in a scrollable list:

And the players can use this view as well:

v1.0 Official Release

• Fixed first-time view scrolling bug.
• Add launch message to chat window.
• Verified it works with, and added support for: 4E, MoreCore, DORCore, Fate Core, PFRPG2.

I do not own BRP, Call of Cthulhu, Castles and Crusades, or Savage Worlds. If any of these rulesets are built on top of CoreRPG, you have my permission to crack open this extension, add the appropriate <ruleset> tag to extension.xml, and test for compatibility. I would only ask that you send the updated extension back to me so I can make it available here.

RolemasterClassic and Star Wars:Edge of the Empire are not built on top of CoreRPG and this extension will not work with those rulesets.

There is a weird bug using this extension with 4E. The first time you open the calendar you will see both views (calendar and timeline) rendered on top of each other. No other ruleset seems to exhibit this issue, and clicking the toggle button makes it go away. I'm not going to spend any effort trying to figure out the root cause of this issue since the workaround is so easy. As with the previous note, if you are familiar with the 4E ruleset and want to try to figure out why this happens, you have my permission and blessing. Again, just make sure the fixed extension makes its way back to me so I can share it here.

I added starfinder to it and it seems to work just fine.

[darrenan]

We were seeing script errors on the player side last night, so I added some guardrails in the code to hopefully prevent that. v1.1 is now in post #1.

[darrenan]

@madman Can you paste the exact <ruleset> tag you added for Starfinder so I can add it to the extension? Another ruleset I don't own...

[madman]
