Yes, it should work fine.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
Note to All
last night during the Demo game zEaL mentioned a way to programatically add properties to tokens. This opens up a lot of doors for Edges, Hindrances, Gear and Powers. Over the next month or so the campaign properties may change for those Lib tokens. I'll code it in such a was as you'll never know the difference but I may cryptically ask you to update the campaign props for newer versions. The downside of the new approach is you won't be able to edit some of those properties via the token edit window in maptool BUT I'll provide another GM interface to do so. Since I'm in Gear anyway I'll start there.

Troll

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
My players and I look forward to these changes. I have been adding things like knowledge types and new edges directly to the token properties window, but a screen that is similar to how you currently have powers with check boxes and such would be awesome.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
I might be going crazy, but I think last time I downloaded this framework, the initiative system wasn't quite right? I think you should only reshuffle on the round following a joker draw, but I seem to remember drawing two of the same card before a joker? Might be something to look into.
Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
It's changed quite a bit. I ditched the Init panel completely in favor of a custom display. The players no longer draw cards (due to synchronization issues I couldn't overcome) so the GM deals. The init system did show an error last time in that the stepCount variable wasn't being set right when the deck reinitialized (after Joker Draw and GM reset between rounds). I should have that fixed before next week.Mathemagician wrote:I might be going crazy, but I think last time I downloaded this framework, the initiative system wasn't quite right?

The other request I'll work on is when a die Aces it shows the rolls in the chat window to make it more 'exciting'.
Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
The "exciting Aces" request was/is mine.
I feel it's necessary because the two times I've played Savage Worlds at the tabletop, there was general high five-ing and cheers over a single ace, let alone the time a players Aced thrice in a row on a eight-sided die. Just my experience thought, your mileage may vary.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
As it turns out, I agree with you. We've had an ongoing debate about the best way to do this. I think for now I'll try to show the dice image when a roll aces to see how that looks. If it takes up too much space I'll drop back to showing it via text.Daelkyr wrote:The "exciting Aces" request was/is mine.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
My personal vision for the implementation would be simply an inversion of the "rolled a natural 1" text that you have show up under the die rolls. Something like:
and rolled an Aced! / and rolled X Aces!!! for when a single/multiple ace(s) are rolled. Now, as I was saying on Wednesday, I have NO idea how hard this would be to do with exploding dice rolls.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
Thanks a lot guys. You freaking rock.
Fortunately, my SW game won't be starting until July, so, I'll be jumping right into these changes you've already made. I'll hold off a bit getting things really prepped for a bit. Thanks for the updates.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
You can go ahead and do the maps and VBL. None of that interaction will change. You can also go ahead and drop tokens and set stats. Avoid setting the Edges, Hindrances, and Gear until I finish up on those sections.Hussar wrote:Thanks a lot guys. You freaking rock.

Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
Just was showing a new player what we're doing, and he is getting the "Undefined function: CurrentInit" when trying to open his character sheet. Any ideas?
Re: [Savage Worlds] RPTroll's Campaign File Framework
Ok, how about this for Acing rolls. In this case its an orc with a d4 smarts.
or
Code: Select all
Smarts Roll: 15
Your rolled Aced 3 times!
Code: Select all
Smarts Roll: 6
Your rolled Aced!
