It's now embedded in the 4E.pak file as an official download. You can extract the files into the rulesets directory, and make changes there if you like. You will have to remove the 4E.pak file to prevent it from overriding your custom version in the rulesets directory. When the 4E.pak file gets updated with a release, you will need to do this again.
Cheers,

You could also write a simple extension to override the definition for the GM portrait. This way you can leave the 4E.pak file in place and shouldn't need to worry about ruleset updates.
For reference 4E uses the following name for the GM's chat icon:
Code:<icon name="portrait_gm_token" file=graphics/icons/portrait_gm_token.png" />

To unpack the file, change the extention from "pak" to "zip" and uncompress with your favorite zip program.

What do your house rules pak entail other than the graphic changes.
I like the dm portrait (i am dungeon master! lol)
I presume i can just ignore your fumble rolls but what is the campaign date file about?Last edited by Bert Blaine; May 26th, 2010 at 16:48.

- Fumble Rolls (Attack rolls of 1 result in an automated fumble roll)
- Integrates my Metal theme and some bespoke 4E graphic updates
- Integrates a small calendar control for managing campaign date and time
Use /date to open up a small calendar control (FR Calendar). You can then set the date and double click the time and date entries to timestamp the chatlog.
