MoreCore Ruleset

[kronovan]

Im not following - sorry. Can you post some screenshots?

Sure...So as I mentioned in my other posts, I've changed everything on the Character Sheet that used term "Abilities" to "Talents". Here's a screenshot of the Abilities tab (not Talents) for which all is fine other than my tab icons text not being the right font and not centering within the tab.

However, changing that tab has also caused the 2nd/lower tab on the class window to change, as it uses uses whatever tab icon file is assigned to the tab_abilities record. Here's a screenshot of it for my Rogue class with the tab highlighted.

What I'd ideally like to do, is have that 2nd/lower tab on the class forum be independent of the tab_abilities record. Note that all of these are set within the CoreRPG ruleset. So not knowing whether this should be handled here or CoreRPG, I created this thread at the CoreRPG forum

in MoreCore record_char.xml see lines 228-231

<tab>
	<icon>tab_abilities</icon>
	<subwindow>abilities</subwindow>
</tab>

see also in CoreRPG graphics_tabs.xml line 32

	<icon name="tab_abilities" file="graphics/tabs/tab_abilities.png" />

you should create a new vertical icon for Talents
create an icon name for it tab_talents and in your extension redefine the charsheet windowclass so that line 229 uses tab_talents
you may find it easiest to include the whole record_char.xml in your extension

Feedback much appreciated Damned.

in MoreCore record_char.xml see lines 228-231

<tab>
	<icon>tab_abilities</icon>
	<subwindow>abilities</subwindow>
</tab>

see also in CoreRPG graphics_tabs.xml line 32

	<icon name="tab_abilities" file="graphics/tabs/tab_abilities.png" />

Yep, I went the route of reassigning the file that the tab_abilities record references, so that it instead uses my custom tab_talents.png. So now that line 32 in the CoreRPG is replaced with this line in my extention.xml:

<icon name="tab_abilities" file="graphics/tabs/tab_talents.png" />

That looks fine, other than my font not matching that which is used for the other tabs and it not correctly centering left-to-right.
I was hoping to avoid including an entire file like record_char.xml, as that would lessen the chance of my extension becoming broken with future MoreCore updates. Would it be possible for me to just create a new XML and LUA files that adds a new [Levels] tab and changes the class window so that it references it for that 2nd-lower tab?

record_char.xml changes very infrequently... however it will have to change in the next build as CoreRPG has some big changes in that space.
yes - Im sure you could make similar change in class and it might be less prone to breaking

There is a minor error on the MoreCore Startup, where it says "data_desktop_5e" does not exist.
To fix it, I would recommend changing two lines in the base xml file

Line 167 - Change name="LibraryData5E" to name="LibraryDataMC". This doesn't fix anything, but it does unify the name under MC.
Line 169 - Change file="scripts/data_desktop_5E.lua" to file="scripts/data_desktop_mc.lua". The data_desktop_mc.lua file DOES exist, but the system isn't referring to it.

Hello all,

I installed MoreCore via the Forge today and I've been having a bit of an issue with the /edie and /edies rolls.

Below is what shows on the chat window when I enter /edies 2d6x4:

s'onExplodingDiceSuccessesSlashCommand(sCmd, sParam)'

s'processExplodingDiceSuccesses(draginfo)'

s'decodeDiceResults(sSource)'

s'encodeDiceResults(aDieResults)'

s'aDieResults: ' | { }

s'processDefaultSuccessesResults draginfo: ' | dragdata = { type = s'explodingDiceSuccesses', desc = s'2d6x4', #slots = #1, slot = #1, string = s'', num = #0, diceexpr = {}, shortcut = {}, asset = {, instance = }, custom = { s'rollresults' = s'', s'successlevel' = #4 } }

s'decodeDiceResults(sSource)'

s'decodeDiceResults(sSource)'

2d6x4
Target=4
0 Successes

And below is the output to the log:

[7/25/2022 10:49:32 PM] s'nSuccessLevel: '|#4

Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to correct it? I'm really hopeful to use /edies in an upcoming campaign.

Thanks.

Hey technocrat13 there is an issue with edies that is unresolved.

My recommendation is to try this command instead of edie

/die 4d6e4

For the other - you need to count the number of dice rolled at 4 or over right?
And the exploded die would each be counted as additional dice rather than making the initial number higher?

I may have to write a new roll...

That's exactly it.

/die 4d6e4 is pretty interesting, but it doesn't appear that it'll work for what we're doing, as it explodes on any result of 4 or better. If that's the way /edie was intended to work, then it would have been a bust for me anyway. No harm, no foul there.

If you do happen to write a new roll, I would be very grateful and would love to hear about it. I know you already spend quite a bit of your time working on this stuff and an edge-case die roll is a big ask.

Thanks for your time.

[damned]

so you want to count the number of dice over a certain value and you dont want it exploding right?
in that case use:

Count Successes: /successes #d#x# (roll #dice and count #+)
/successes 2d6x4

[damned]

Or you are looking for it to explode on 6 and you count all values of 4+ as successes?
Do you count a 6+6+4 as 1 success or 3?
