CoreRPG basic questions

[seycyrus]

I remember back in the NWN days, ...

It's still kickin!

What needs to be in definition.xml to see it in CoreRPG? The only module I can seem to get to open in CoreRPG is Calendar...

[Nickademus]

I believe if you leave the <ruleset> tag empty it will default to CoreRPG.

Try using:

	<ruleset>Any</ruleset>

or:

	<ruleset>CoreRPG</ruleset>

I have tried Any, CoreRPG and blank.
Maybe there is something else I am missing?

definition.xml
db.xml
zip it up and rename it .mod

Send me your definition.xml and db.xml; I'll message you my email.

Make sure you zip up within the folder containing those files - don't zip up from outside (i.e. selecting the directory folder then zipping) as this will create a directory within the zip file and FG won't reognize it.

I cant believe I did that...

[damned]

Ok - I dont know why I couldnt convert Nickademus's .mod but doing it the other way - creating some content in the campaign and exporting it and then updating that file has worked for me...

And yes - at least on some of those attempts I did zip up the root folder too - doh!

So... moving along...

To be able to drag content (of any nature) into a character sheet... like you can drag spells into spell sheet and items and armour and weapons into inventory.... Is that coding in the spells/armour/weapons/equipment lists/database/module or in the character sheet tab?

Look I *know* I'm asking some dumb questions - but I'm finding this really bloody hard ok!

It's all in the character sheet control where the drag-drop is taking place.

Assuming you're doing this in the C&C ruleset?

Look at \campaign\record_char_abilities.xml - the "abilitylist" control is defined as follows:

<list_text name="abilitylist">
	<anchored to="abilityframe">
		<top offset="30" />
		<left offset="15" />
		<right offset="-15" />
		<bottom offset="-15" />
	</anchored>
	<datasource>.abilitylist</datasource>
	<class>char_ability</class>
	<sortby><control>value</control></sortby>
	<newfocus>value</newfocus>
	<acceptdrop>
		<class>ability</class>
		<field>*</field>
	</acceptdrop>
	<script>
		function onDrop(x, y, draginfo)
			local sDragType = draginfo.getType();
			if sDragType == "shortcut" then
				local sClass, sRecord = draginfo.getShortcutData();
				if sClass == "ability" then
					local w = createWindow()
					if w then
						local n = w.getDatabaseNode();
						DB.copyNode(sRecord, n);
						DB.setValue(n, "locked", "number", 1);
					end
				end
				
				return true;
			end
		end
	</script>
</list_text>

The <acceptdrop> tag allows it to accept dropped data of the type "ability" and the onDrop script code performs the data copy locally - you won't need to do this with an image, just link to the image itself in the database - no need to copy the data, use something like:

w.value.setValue(DB.getValue(nodeSource, "name", ""));
w.shortcut.setValue(draginfo.getShortcutData());

See the 3.5e ruleset "list_charabilities" template in \campaign\template_char.xml as an example - which is used in record_char_abilities.xml file (the Abilities tab of the PC charsheet).

Another way for you to do this is to add an extra tab and put a <formattedtextcontrol> in the tab: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdo...extcontrol.xcp These have the ability to have links embedded - but there is not direct drag-drop capabilities, you need to enable the link first and then drag/drop the item to the link - just like creating links in Story entries.
