Setting Extension idea

[Ikael]

You haven't declared any tolerance items (damage types) in your configuration file. You should at least include following to your properties_cutomized.lua.

-- Tolerance
tolerance = { 
	{ ["nodename"] = "wounds",
	  ["name"] = "Wounds", 
	  ["max"] = 3,
	  ["penalties"] = {-1, -2, -3},
	  ["penaltydescription"] = "Wound Penalty",
	  ["combat"] = true,
	  ["combattracker"] = true,
	},
	{ ["nodename"] = "fatique",
	  ["name"] = "Fatique", 
	  ["max"] = 2,
	  ["penalties"] = {-1, -2},
	  ["penaltydescription"] = "Fatigue Penalty",
	  ["combat"] = true,
	  ["combattracker"] = false
	}
}

these are the basic damage propeties, if you don't provide any of then the system will go boom!

Perhaps a default setting could be provided ? Then people only need to overwrite the bits they need.

[Ikael]

Indeed that's good idea. The default setting is provided in the main extension itself but yes you're correct it should be own setting extension as well! I did also minor update to the main extension where npc_additional_derivedstats is only optional. Earlier it was compulsory to declare those. In addition I did add the "Terror" derivedstat for NPCs in ROC setting extension.

Although I mentioned earlier that no backward compatability will be supported in this extension I found out that it's easy to implement it. The solution is datasource converter tool. You can enable this extension with the unofficial revision extension and open the conversion menu by typing /convert to the chat. From the menu you can select direction of the conversion, either from core ruleset to extension (probably the thing you want) or from extension to the core ruleset.

What this means in general is that you can convert your earlier campaign data to fit for the revision extension (if you want to use it). However you SHOULD backup your campaign before using this tool, just in case because you can destroy your campaign data if you misuse this tool! Just be careful when selecting to which direction you can to convert your campaign.

hey Ikael, you think you could make your "time stamp" extention available for us savages?

[Ikael]

I wonder what "time stamp" extension are you referring at here? The only thing to come in my mind is the campaign calendar extension, but isin't that already available for SW?

[Mask_of_winter]

When I played with you Unisystem ruleset, you had a feature on there that allowed the GM to send a time stamp into the chat window like : "October 30th 2009". You know what I mean now?

[Ikael]

That "time stamp" feature was indeed converted to an extension which works for any rulesets. You can find it from following link: Campaign Calendar. Inside that archieve file you find two extensions, one that is the campaign calendar extension itself and the other that's calendarsystem example. By default the campaign calendar uses gregorian calendar system, but you can decalre any calendar system by making calendarsystem extension (just check out how the example calendarsystem extension is made). You can drag the date from any field to the chat to display the current time

Thanks for the link!
