The One Ring: Core RPG Conversion

[Ithildin of the West]

New puzzler for anyone willing to bend their mind to it.

Goal: to pre-place NPC tokens on a map, and have them appear when added through the Combat Tracker. Easy right?

You can see some odd stuff in the attached image:

1) From the Encounter window, Orc Soldier(s) and Warg(s) have been added to the map. You can see that there are check-marks indicating placement.
2) After adding the Encounter to the Combat Tracker (using the little down-arrow at bottom of Encounter window) the NPCs populate, but are not visible on map even though visibility is set to 'visible' in the Combat Tracker
3) The Chat Window gives an error indicating 'Unable to create NPC record(nameofNPC)'.

I have Loremastered one game, and at the end of that game I exported content as a Module, replacing the original (Development Campaign) module to continue working on the next adventure. <---this is the only recent change, and may not be relevant, but I thought to mention it.

Any suggestions towards my goal are welcome.

I've not touched the maps and token processing. It's base CoreRPG functionality. I've found that you need to add tokens to the desktop before you can add to a map, or add directly from the combat tracker. The token behaviour is on the "to be looked at" list.

Thanks Valarian, I think I need to re-read Lord Entrails Adventure Module Creation pdf.

I've probably exported more than I should have from my Campaign (into a Module I've not imported into my Development Campaign.

This has possibly had the unintended affect of duplicating content in my Development Campaign and messing up links between existing and 'new' NPC elements, the Combat Tracker and the Map.

Once I've re-read the Adventure Module Creation document I'll probably roll back to a saved backup (prior to my first played game) and see if I can bring in only the latest post-game PC characters (rather than the entire Module).

Hi Valarian,

I see this and thought I'd ask if you meant "Your error is normal, I've not touched maps and tokens processing (and its always thrown errors like that)" or "Your error is weird, you probably broke something, cause I've not touched maps and tokens processing (and it works flawlessly for me).

I'm still struggling with this, though I've reverted to a previous module and generally (I think) cleaned things up.

Thanks!

I've noticed that you can't drag a token directly from the character sheet or portrait to a map/image. I've not seen the issue you've reported directly, but I don't really use battle maps.

The issue is somewhere in the CoreRPG functionality.

Thanks Valarian, I'll eventually sort it out and report the fix.

Inspired by another player who used costume jewelry 'Silmarils' for Fellowship Pool tokens in their IRL table top game I created my own from painted stones.

Now that we're all playing from distance I've made VTT tokens of these for use in Fantasy Grounds.

These represent the Fellowship Pool (in our case four plus one additional as we have a Hobbit in our Fellowship). As Players use points from the pool I'm able to remove that token from the board, giving us a quick visual representation of remaining Fellowship Pool.

If you'd like to use these tokens you may grab 'em here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1p-...ka9mpmXuuFF8Rr

Cheers!

Nice! And thanks for sharing. All these innovations add up.

Perhaps these could be used on the Party Sheet, which I think has a tab showing marching order and a small map that can accept tokens.

[Ithildin of the West]

Good idea, thanks Hector Trelane!

Here you go with your tokens, Ithildin of the West, with a sample set up on the Party Sheet. Whenever Fellowship Points are to be distributed, this can be used to track how much is left in the pool (in the center) as well as any points distributed to each character:





I made this setup with this Marching Formation Extension by damned, which, as he explains in this post:

You can unzip the extension and replace the image with your own but there is no current feature to enable you to choose from several images.

Note: my image is a little big at 600 x 60 px; the original included in the extension was 520 x 520 px.
