Thanks, I'm glad you plan on using it :)

Note that it works better with Maptool 1.3 b87 and Java 1.6. With b89 and Java 1.7, a change in the way HTML is handled caused the HTML cells to have thicker borders (still working, but kinda ugly).

I'm afraid I won't have time to update the FW for a while, unless I need to fix a crippling bug in the code (let me know if you find any). When the Mote project goes out of beta and is fully functional, I may start working on frameworks again.

Let me know if you have any question about how the FW works, I'll be glad to help.

Do you know of any Converted "stories/adventures" which are available for free use? Just trying to optimize the free time I have during the week:)

1.91b is up for download, the only difference is the translated tooltip for the "Prop" macro. Cheers!

This looks wonderful. I may try to convert it for my Elric/Stormbringer game.

One thing: the character sheet dialog has the french label: "Fiche de Perso"

I'm glad you like it :). FYI I also created a Runequest/Legend FW that may be better suited for your Elric/Stormbringer game. It all depends on what set of rules you use for this game: if you use the original Chaosium Stormbringer system, then the CoC framework will probably be better suited. However if you use the Mongoose Elric rules, whch are using either the Runequest I or Runequest II systems, you'll start a lot closer from my RQ/Legend framework, which is located here.

Both frameworks have the same "philosophy," that is players are supposed to be able to do everything from the CS. The RQ has however a more automated combat system (I tried to speed up the combat by handling a lot of the technical aspect), but no Sanity management (if you're FW savvy, it would however be quite easy to copy all the macros and properties necessary for the SAN system into the RQ fw).

Sounds great:) How is Mote progressing?

Slowly but surely. The main developper hurt himself pretty bad, which I'm sure slowed things down. However they just released a couple new betas. The backward compatibility for the macros needs a lot of work ,but they are at it :).

The built-in macro editor is really neat. Not having to copy back and forth into NP++ is pretty awesome.

Thanks. I prefer the original Stormbringer/Elric mechanics, but i do plan to use some elements from the Mongoose update, so I'll check out your other framework too.

Would it be alright with you if I edited the character sheet to work with Call of Cthulhu V7?
