Sorry to bug you again. Previously Chummer allowed optimization for all devices. I just want to see if that feature is coming back.

Hey Nebular, hate to ask and be a pest, but any progress on the cyberzombie layout?

Ah, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, I was never happy with having that the way it was. It started out as just Weapons, then the ability to add Accessories and Mods for Vehicle Weapons came later and it just sort of went that way. That's an easy enough change and will likely be in the next update then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Optimization has only ever been available for Commlinks (UN 198) and as a Program Option (UN 115). What optimizations are you referring to?

Ah, I was just being finicky because all the mods in Unwired that seem to make sense for devices other than commlinks, use the term "device" rather than "commlink" in their descriptions.

Anyway, a more realistic problem is that taser darts can be bought for sniper rifles atm.

Also, it seems improved ability isn't being limited. I can currently buy it up to six for a skill I have zero points in.

Yeah, but if you look it gives you no benefit past half your skill. You've got six ranks of improved, and none in the skill, you get no bonus from improved in the Dice Pool area.

Running into a bit of a technical issue and not entirely sure how to remedy it.

When attempting to open the program, I get the error code

"To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework.
v.4.0.30319"

I've installed the .NET Framework linked to in the OP and that didnt seem to remedy the problem.

Some more stuff

AR 146 Reinforced size turrets with normal turret flexibility should be deleted from vehicle mods. Likewise normal size turrets with heavy turret flexibility should be deleted.

War 157 Cluster minigrenades should be deleted

1) How difficult would it be to add a nuyen modifier box to gear?

Like, if I wanted to add a piece of gear at 120% markup or at a set lower price instead of the standard price.

I was trying to add a piece of gear at a 50% markup to reflect sapient critter sizing but I don't see a way to do that.

2) Also, is there a reason the Ballistic Mask is an armor mod instead of in the Helmets category? As an armor mod it can't take modifications, even though War states it can have helmet or vision mods.

3) I notice modifying the sensors on vehicles does not adjust the vehicle's Sensor Rating. Is just not implemented yet?

4) The various ammo capacity modifications to weapons do not appear to actually be modifying the ammo capacity.

Thanks!

I'm not seeing anything that says you cannot have a Reinforced Flexible or Heavy Flexible turrets. Am I overlooking something? Same thing with Cluster minigrenades. Minigrenades are supposedly available with the same modifications as standard grenades, so they should also be available as Cluster from what I can see.

Having attempted to build a number of NPCs from scratch I've found this software to be incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot for the hard work Nebular. A couple of things I noticed though. These might have already been addressed but not implemented yet but I didn't see anything while reading through the thread.

I'm running a game currently using Karma-gen and I noticed that although the Karma-gen option exists in Chummer and allows you to set the cost values it doesn't track the metatype cost as per the errata (in the karmagen option all metatypes and other "race" options don't cost anything in and of themselves regardless of their BP cost).

Also with an aptitude skill, the cost for raising the skill above 6 should be doubled (it should cost 28 karma to raise it from 6 to 7 but Chummer only tracks it as costing 14).

4) Uh, they should be working. What Weapon/Mod combination are you using?

Got a couple issues. Currently in career mode, build 169.

1. Light Military Grade Armor with mobilty 3 should not encumber a character with body of 3. Currently I have a -2 armor penalty. Effective body would be 3*3=9+3= 12 for encumberance calculations.

2. Adding contacts in career mode after the fourth starts increasing the space in between them after each new contact addition. Did not try in build mode.

3. Can you make it so that we can adjust the dates of starting cash and all gear purchases. Trying to enter my missions charcter from gencon and the dates are not matching up.

4. How do we delete cost of gear on the karma/nuyen tab? Deleting gear in the gear tabs after purchasing does not take it out of the expense log.

Thanks.

4) Uh, they should be working. What Weapon/Mod combination are you using?


Okay, I double checked, it's working on weapons normally, but not on weapons mounted in vehicles.

I was experimenting with adding the "Underbarrel Weapon" mod from Arsenal into the data file, but I could not figure out how to force it to specify a weapon to use as the underbarrel weapon. So I created a separate "Underbarrel Conversion" mod that simply halves the ammo capacity of whatever it is applied to, with the intention of just sticking both weapon and underbarrel weapon in the same turret to indicate they were connected.

But when I applied the Conversion mod to a turret-mounted weapon, the ammo count remained unchanged. I double checked by adding in the Extended Clip mod instead, still no change to the ammo count for the vehicle-mounted weapon. Going back and modifying a non-mounted weapon (in the Gear tab instead of the Vehicle tab) works normally.

- Also, is there any way to modify "stock" mechanical arms on vehicles? I select, say, a Ford LEBD that comes with a mechanical arm, but the arm is greyed out and trying to add modifications to the arm results in either the modification being added to the vehicle instead, or an error message that I need to select a piece of gear first. If I delete the stock arm and add one in as a modification, that arm can have gear added to it, but obviously now it takes up mod slots. But even then it won't let me add cyberlimb accessories or enhancements.

- Hm. Actually, how difficult would it be for Chummer to lookup a "custom.xml" file along with the regular data files, so users can add their own stuff and be able to locate it easily, and without their stuff being overwritten by later official updates?

Thanks!

3) I notice modifying the sensors on vehicles does not adjust the vehicle's Sensor Rating. Is just not implemented yet?

I did a little bit of looking into this and noticed a huge problem with trying to do this: The only Sensor that has any sort of Sensor Rating is the Extra-Large Vehicle Sensor (AR 138 says it's 6). However, Vehicles with an Extra-Large Vehicle Sensor (like the Celebrian Striker (AR 115) has a fixed Sensor Rating that does not match the 6 that Extra-Large Vehicle Sensors supposedly have. To make things even more complicated, all of the Vehicles/Drones have their own Sensor Rating and do not lend anything to trying to figure out what the Sensor Ratings should be (for example, select 5 random Vehicles with a Vehicle Sensor and you'll find that they have a range of Sensor Ratings). I don't think this will be happening.
