    I spent some time on this today and made some progress.

    Unfortunately, it is still going to require more time. There are some things that are being done differently and I'll have to untangle them before everything is going to work.

    Please be patient.

    I too am interested. Thanks for your persistence! Really appreciate your work.

    So, does anyone use an Atlatl? Has anyone noticed the way it works in GCA5 is different than it was in GCA4?

    GCA4 (notice "Atlatl W:"):
    GCA4 Atlatl.png

    GCA5 (notice no Atlatl shown):
    GCA5 Atlatl.png

    Basically, an Atlatl is now Equipment rather than a weapon. Thus, once built into the .mod file and loaded within FGU it does not work the same.

    Images explain this better.
    GCA4 Atlatl equipped in inventory results in this on the Ranged weapon tab:
    GCA4 Ranged Atlatl.png


    GCA5 Atlatl does not show up at all because once again, it is only considered equipment. However, if you have Atlatl Darts or Javelins, now it gets interesting.\
    Javelins and Atlatl Darts.png


    So a Javelin is different in GCA4 verses GCA5. In GCA5 the ammunition item (at least in this case) carries the information pertaining to the Atlatl "Mode". Atlatl Darts however, are the same in either version because they can only be used with an Atlatl which I guess goes without saying.

    What this means is in GCA5 if you purchase an Atlatl it won't show up as a ranged weapon.
    Also, it means that if you buy a Javelin, it would show the possible "Mode" of being used with an Atlatl, even if you don't own one!

    In GCA4 you would only see the option of using a Javelin with an Atlatl IF and ONLY IF you owned and equipped an Atlatl.

    While I'm sure most people are probably not using an Atlatl, I can't help but think there must be other items that could have a similar result.

    Is this a bug with the Atlatl in GCA5 or is this how it should be?

    I've been chewing on what to do about this but it'll take some extra effort to make this work like it did when we were using GCA4 and I'm not sure it's worth it. What do you guys think?

    edit: Well, I wanted the images to show in the thread but they seem to open individually for me so hopefully ya'll can figure it out.

    edit2: Stupid me, did an update and smoked my exporter. Rebuilding...better...faster..stro..

    @Jaxilon, I have this error now on your GURPS MM.

    The attachment is a screenshot of what happened when I try to import a GCA5 .txt file export. I have no XML exporter available for GCA5 as no one would tell me where that is coming from. In your video in how to import from GCA5 tutorial, you have an option called "XML Exporter". That option alone does not show up on mine. It only shows the PC or NPC Export option

    Check your update options on GCA5. I think there is an export for FGU.

    Yes, I checked. I updated the GCA 5 and added the FGU exporters. Both are for PC/NPC. I have gotten into touch with Armin, the developer for GCA 5, and he said that when he has time, he will work on the simple XML exporter Jaxilon used in his video. The simple XML exporter will export XML files and help make it readable for the GURPSMM. He said that the reason behind the problem of the XML file, currently as it stands with GCA 5, is that the XML exported now are complex. His GURPSMM cannot read the complex XML file now; only what was found in legacy GCA 4.

    Thanks for your efforts, and sorry for not understanding your problem.

    Last time I was using this I had to modify the exporter GCA5 used. Unfortunately, to do this I had to replace the existing one with my updated version and every time GCA5 updated it would replace my version. Maybe the optional update to use GCA4 xml covers this now. I haven't messed with it for a while.

    edit: So what I mean is I took a look at the plugin WoodsmanX made and created an exporter that works with my ModMaker. However, GCA5 didn't seem to allow for other 3rd party plugins so I had to rename mine the same as WoodsmanX's which replaces it. Hence, why every time GCA5 updates it overlays my plugin with the original.
    Scrap what I just said - I took another look at it and it seems I'm the Space Monkey. Once I named it correctly, GCA5 handles it just fine. I can probably share this with everyone but I'm not sure if I have to do anything with the copyright stuff. Because I'm just piggy backing on WoodsmanX's work mine still has his information in the copyright tags. So, now that I think about it I'm just confused. I'll go take a look at that part now under his project and see if there is anything I need to follow. Up till now, I was doing it for myself.

    Jaxilon,

    I requested that from Armin Sykes, the developer behind GCA 5. I have tried out the GCA 5 with equipment and firearms. It works beautifully for GCA 4 Import. However, your program fails to populate items found in Advantages/Disadvantages or Skills so I don't know what exactly to do at this point. Hopefully you will be able to find a way to make it work to have everything populated correctly for GURPS 4E.
