Introducing the new XCore Ruleset

[vegaserik]

vegaserik,
Thanks for the quick reply.
The file XCore-Dark_Places.mod is in %appdata%/FantasyGrounds/modules directory.
I started an X-Core campaing, but the module cannot be loaded/activated from the "Module" window because it doesn't show up in the said window.
It is like if it has not been made for this type of campaing.

When you open Fantasy Grounds, there should be a folder icon in the top left, click on that and you'll see the modules folder it needs to be in. There will be folders for campaigns, tokens, images etc ... Make sure it's that modules folder you put it into.

It'll only open in an X-Core campaign. So make sure you created a campaign and selected X-Core.

Then open Modules on the side, the mod window will open. Hit the Activation button. Now you'll have to find Dark Places and Demogorgons Basic Sheet in that window. You can also search by name or by author name - Bloat Games. When you find it, click the Load button and the little book icon will change to an open book icon.

That opens it. I haven't used it since DP&D came out on OSE but it still shows in the modules activation window. There will be a pre-gen for the character sheet, a couple of items, an npc, and all the rolls for everything.

Thank you for all the guidance.

The module file is in the right place and I did the operations in the same order you mention, but the module never show up in the "Module Activation" page/window.

I will try it as soon as I can get access to my home computer.

Ok, this one is working. There's a big difference in size. The new one is 1.54M while the previous one was 36bytes.

Thank you very much!

Hello!

I'm working on using this ruleset to run A Rasp of Sand in the Knave system and loving it so far. Have been able to use the tools to do basically everything I need.

One thing I came across that I had a question about was unidentified items. It looks like if I have an unidentified item, the name is only obscured when looking at it in a list like the inventory tab on the character or party sheet. If the player opens the item, they will be able to see the actual name and everything about it. I wasn't sure if this was XCore specific or inherited from the baseline ruleset, but it seems to defeat the point of that feature. Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks!

I'm a bit lost in the weeds trying to figure out how FG handles math operations on roll expressions with negative numbers and nested brackets. For example, I can see that -1*-5 = -1, which is . . . not what I expect.

What I'm trying to do in XCore is use the absolute value of the modifier stack to determine how many dice to roll, and the sign on the modifier stack to determine whether to make a bonus (keep highest) or penalty (keep lowest) roll.

order (3+[getmod])dFk3+[a]

works great for the bonus roll where the mod stack is positive, while its obvious twin

order (3-[getmod])dFkl3+[a]

throws weird results with a negative mod stack. I've tried many variations on this, rearranging the math, putting extra parentheses here and there, but I'm taking a lot of unsuccessful stabs in the dark.

I can use a standalone roll like

mod (100-[getmod])+100

to strip the negative sign off of the mod stack, and then follow it with a separate keep lowest roll. I don't understand why it works, and can't figure out how to combine it into the keep lowest roll. Anybody got a clue? Is it likely I can build it with the roll builder extension thingie, or am I likely to keep bumping up against the same problems with mysterious arithmetic with negatives?
