Genesys (FFG RPG) work in progress

[johniba]

NEW RELEASE!
Version 2021-09-09

Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.

Fixes:
- Party Sheet: Fixed the numbers that show in both progress bar on the main tab (Threshold / Current)


IMPORTANT FIX
The latest FG Unity update broke some buttons that previously required Double Click
Now all "Dice" icons that prevously required Double Click, will now require just normal Click
These are all icons used to add dice to the dicepool: Characteristic, Skill, and also some others from Vehicle tab (piloting skill), etca.


How to download the new version:

FG Unity:
You can subscribe to both rulesets in FG Forge. This will ensure that they are automatically downloaded whenever I upload a new version.
(P.S.: everytime I upload a new version here in the forums, it may take a few hours for it to show up in Forge, as it requires Moderators to approve)
(P.S.: If you have already done this before, you only need to click "Check for Updates" in FG Unity, and the download will start)

To subscribe and download the rulesets, follow the links:
Genesys: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/143/view
Star Wars: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/159/view
(Remember, if you want to use the Star Wars ruleset, make sure to subscribe/download BOTH)

FG Classic
You can download both rulesets in the link below
Make sure to save them in your "rulesets" directory

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...R-?usp=sharing
Modules and other extensions need to be downloaded from the above link also (even FG Unity, they are not in the Forge)

Updated files:

Please download the Genesys ruleset even if you are using only Star Wars

I had a minor idea to float, really just a little something for the players.

As it stands, there really isn't much of a way to "see" your character other than as a tiny token on your sheet. Maybe add a tab at the bottom that allows a player to import an hero image of their character?

I know they could just have their own image folder, but a lot of players see the character sheet as a place for what is quintessentially "them" on it

That said, other than the hero pose, perhaps there could be a way to have multiple links that changes the image shown, so they can rotate out their hero image as they see fit (or if they have different outfits they tend to wear)

- Character Sheets: Added temporary modifier fields for all Characteristics and Wounds/Strain Threshold fields
These can only be edited by the GM, acessible from the Party Sheet (ready more below)
If you add a modifier value (positive or negative) to a Characteristic, when the player makes a roll that uses that characteristic,
that roll will add/subtract dice as needed! This can be used in cases where a Character should suffer a temporary weakness to a stat, or a boost.

I like this, but this only seems to be for full Ability dice. Is there a way to do boost/setback? perhaps it could be introduced as a decimal?

Great idea, i will see what i can do

The one possible problem I see with that, though is a scenario where you have, say a full Ability improvement, but a setback applied for a different reason. Might need a new field instead?

I am thinking of ways to do this
Maybe I can add another field where you can add dice... and you would be able to add as many and different dice you want to that characteristic.

So you could have a small window saying how many of each dice:

-1 characteristic, +1boost, +1 setback... even -1 boost ...

Visually I will try to make it more appealing, maybe just like it is now, but instead, i would also add the dice symbols

And when executing the roll, all would be added/removed

Im gonna see what i can do

Cool - it's the sort of feature that might not get used often, but will be really handy for those situations where they ARE needed.

I can already see a way that the current feature has an unforeseen advantage. By knowing that the character has a boost to the Ability (in this case a +1 Agility because of her cybernetic arm) I also know that if she does anything with her off arm, I can have her remove that bonus.

Edge of the Empire Libraries

• Added Fly Casual source book to the Libraries.

I also add SW in front of the name of each library to group the libraries together and easier search for people with big libraries.

Ah nice, did you do the same for the genesys libraries?

By the way sevrick, did you see i changed the order of melee and ranged defenses in the character sheets?

Ah, library updates, cool!

I have a question for those with more experience in this than me. When I started using this Star Wars ruleset, I used all three libraries, but then I deleted all the duplicate and triplicate items, talents, npcs, favouring the Age of Rebellion library when possible. Then I started adding descriptions to the items, talents etc from the rulebooks, for the ease of my players.

Will downloading and using these updated libraries -

1) produce a brand new set of duplicates and triplicates?
2) over-write the descriptions I'd added?

Thank you in advance!
