Here is a thread

@halcyon stream - Any chance of getting a graphic for the M20 mine? Current one looks like a bomb rather than a Claymore.

It's not the end of the earth for people to change it, but would be cool to have a official one

halcyon stream Jan 27, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

I am only allowed to use official images from the books and there is not one for a claymore. The only concession I have is the ability to use free svg images.

The ones from foundry or say game icons.net

halcyon stream Jan 28, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Correct.

#

Please keep in mind that the core rules module is nearly 3 years old. If that icon was available then I would have used it.

How come all the room names are missing from the Hadleys Hope maps etc?

Also is there no way to get the walls etc all correctly aligned with the grid without making it all again? Like is there a default setting I need to change to be the right size / position?

So it can be used for other things.

No. You would have to remake the whole thing.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 1:22 AM

#

Fair does, just wondering how come this didn't get done.. I'm currently adding down the npcs etc now.

Is there a way to add a sentry gun as a actor / item?

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 2:43 AM

I'm guessing this should all be filled out also?

No they are just place holders. The full text is added if you have the core rules or starter set.

Yeah I have everything and all modules installed / imported?

I went and bought the rest I needed and did a fresh install the other day

Did I do something wrong?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

No. The Stunt items are not changed but if you have the modules the correct text is inserted by the system.

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 10:57 AM

You should see it already as an item : UA 571-C Sentry Gun
If you want to put them on the maps you would need to use the Item Piles module that allsow you do drop items onto the scene.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:06 AM

#

halcyon stream As per the MU/TH/ER Instructions :

Then what do I do to correct the fact it’s missing?

#

(Thank you for the help btw, I promise you I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass haha)

#

Is it that it works in the background or is it meant to have data in there?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:20 AM

#

iron plank Is it that it works in the background or is it meant to have data in there?

Correct. If you did not have the modules you could add the text to those items.

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:22 AM

#

iron plank Then what do I do to correct the fact it’s missing?

The MO/TH/ER Instructions?

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:23 AM

#

halcyon stream Correct. If you did not have the modules you could add the text to those items.

I have -every- module

#

So and I installed / imported everything from scratch as we were having that problem with the journals

#

But I’m still getting that message

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:26 AM

#

I am missing something. What message?

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

#

The message telling me to edit the skill-stunts to show the available stunts

#

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:33 AM

#

That is correct in the item. You don't need to touch them.

#

Then why is the data missing / it telling me to to edit it?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

When you open an actor and click on the spanner next to the Skill the correct text will appear at the bottom.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:35 AM

#

#

Ah cool, but why would it say that in the other menu?

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

It just seems odd to have the prompt telling me to do it, rather than "Everything is fine, don't edit this"

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

The system is not prompting you to edit them.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

"Edit the skill-stunts entry for this skill to show the available stunts"

#

That reads to me to edit them

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:38 AM

#

If any of the official modules (Starter Set or Core Rules) are installed, the text in these items will be ignored but the items should not be deleted or the system will malfunction.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:38 AM

#

Yeah but that's going back to muthur etc, might be worth putting that description in the skill stunts both that says about editing it

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

Not everyone buys the mdules. This allows them to add that data to the system if they want to.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

True

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

TBH: you are the first person that has had a problem with it. Honest!

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

Another thing I've picked up on, in the jobs roll table

#

That's probably just my 'tism kicking in picking up on things

#

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-math-hangover-allen-zach-galifianakis-gif-6219070

#

On the job roll table, in the descriptions when you roll it just shows for example 34 UAD, is it possible for the official roll tables to be updated to show

JOB TYPE: Routine DESTINATION: Within system COMPLICATION: No BASE REWARD: [[20+1d6]],000 UAD Extra Reward: 2,000 

#

Then it will prompt that it's thousands rather than 34 UAD that they get

#

or even just "k" after it denoting thousands

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

Good spot. Not sure if/when it would be fixed. That would be up to Free League.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

Oh do they not just let you fix things like that?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

It's all about the support contract.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

oohh

#

kinda making a little more sense now

#

Well I'm just updating it now, i'll pop it here anyway

#

I also did a HH roll table

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:47 AM

#

So FL pay me to create the modules (not the system I do that for free) and as part of that there is a period of support.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

Mm. Do you dump them a load a suggested fixes and they can pay you periodically?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:49 AM

#

It depends on the severity of the issue. Minor spelling mistakes or things like the job table tend not to garner great enthusiasm.

HH - Searching for Gear

📎 fvtt-RollTable-hh-searching-for-gear-ZaRsdWc4ozA5moQA.json

#

These are the bits I've seen thus far

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:51 AM

#

👍

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:52 AM

#

So if you're doing the system itself still, are you able to look into things like "Token Health" or auto condition for death markers etc?

#

When using token health (like I do with 5e) it shows this message and doesn't update the tokens health as an example

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:53 AM

#

Is Token Health a module?

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:53 AM

#

#

#

#

So it's like it's grabbing the data but it's not actually applying the health damage

#

Just makes it vastly easier to update token health

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:56 AM

#

Do you have to configure where the health is stored? system.header.health.value

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:56 AM

#

#

#

#

So I guess it's health.value?

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

Looks like you need to set

#

First one should be : system.header.health.value
Second one: system.header.health.max

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 11:58 AM

#

Testing

#

Right clicking it and adjusting it works

#

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 12:00 PM

#

Also that module is not compatable with FVTT V11

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 12:00 PM

#

but doing the context menu doesn't change it

(works with my 5e game perfectly fine?)

#

If not it's not the end of the world

#

I would like to get it so it auto applies the death icon for the creatures etc

#

But again it's a very first world problem haha

halcyon stream Jan 31, 2024, 12:05 PM

#

The thing is it works differently in Alien. When a character/creature is broken (hp=0) then make a critical Injury roll. That determines their fate, which may not be instant death.

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 12:06 PM

#

True, but the same with D&D is that they're downed wheras the creatures are dead

#

Getting there though 🙂

#

I ended up doing this for the sentry haha

#

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 12:24 PM

#

For the descriptors in the Roll tables btw, I've just had a play with this code and got this so it's broken up a little better..

#

JOB TYPE: Routine DESTINATION: Within system COMPLICATION: No BASE REWARD: [[20+1d6]],000 UAD EXTRA REWARD: 0 

#

Otherwise the dice rolls are hovering over the "complication" roll prior

#

and a little of the extra reward below

iron plank Jan 31, 2024, 12:45 PM

#

Another quick fix would be to put in the upper description that the base reward is "In thousands of UA Dollars" like it says on CRB Page 341

What versions of FVTT and Alien are you running.

brave dock Sep 30, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Most recent for either. It's only the creature type of actor

halcyon stream Sep 30, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

If you disable all non Alien modules an create a creature what happens

brave dock Sep 30, 2024, 6:52 PM

It's a fresh world with no modules enabled

halcyon stream Sep 30, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

Yea sorry just noticed that.

brave dock Sep 30, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

No prob

#

Though I'll restart the server tonight, maybe that'll just fix it. Thought there might be some trick/requirement to it that I missed

halcyon stream Sep 30, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

Those things usually happen because the actor data is corrupted.

#

If a restart does nothing, uninstall the Alien system and shutdown the server. Check that the alienrpg directory is gone. Then reinstall Alien.

brave dock Oct 2, 2024, 7:03 AM

Reinstalling the system clean and a new world solved it in the end. Weird, but as long as it works whatever. I'm looking forward to playing it
