QUOTE (Hellfire @ Feb 25 2012, 04:57 AM)  1. Thanks for the updates, now I can create spirits >force 6 in "critter mode" and add skills with force rating >6, however this is still not possible for free spirits. I cannot create a free spirit force >6, as I am still not able to add a new skill at a rating >6. IMO the best option would be for NSC free spirits to add an option to the spirit critter generation to make them free and then get the possibility to add free spirit powers etc. 2. I have noticed an error when adding the Missile: Mine to the gear. It is impossible to print the character afterwards or when you click on the missile it shows an error: "input string not in correct format" Also the Hardliner Gloves, even though they are under "exotic melee weapons" in Arsenal, use the unarmed combat skill which is not correctly reflected in Chummer, perhaps you can put them in the "unarmed" weapon section alongside shock gloves etc. and also link them to the unarmed combat skill, so that the dice pools show... Many thanks. I've added Free Spirit to the Spirits category for Critters with a selectable Force. The update I just posted takes care of the Missile: Mine problem. I've also updated Weapons so they can specify an Active Skill their pool should be based on since it can differ from the standard one for the category. You'll need to remove the Hardliner Gloves from your character and re-add them so they pick up the new Skill info. |

Since my group just started Season 3 of the Shadowrun Missions, I've put together the saves for all of the NPCs. If anyone is interested, you can grab them from here: http://www.chummergen.com/dev/chummer/SRM03Saves.zip.

They are SR4 converted right? |

It would be nice to have the official NPCs in Omae, maybe in a specific location. Specially since there are already items from Missions there.

Can you make a creation menu for ally spirits?
Right now it is possible to create ally spirits as critters, but you can't give them any spells the Mage already knows since the tab is missing. I would love to have a menu within the Characters chummer file for managing the Ally Spirit and spending Karma points on it. That would make managing ally spirits A LOT easier. The rules for creating ally spirits and their karma costs are all in Streetmagic. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There were still a handful of mistakes in their ESS calculations, Skill names, etc., but those were all corrected. |

I was thinking about that yesterday when I uploaded the Season 3 stuff actually. The problem is that Omae only allows upload of 250 KB. They'd need to be manually hacked into the database. It's not a big deal to do it, I'd just need to create a new category that people can't upload to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The rules for creating ally spirits and their karma costs are all in Streetmagic. I'll look into this. I think part of the solution is to just update all of the spirts in the data files to give them access to the Spells tab since they should be able to cast them anyways. The temporary work-around for this is to give them the Magician Quality. They already have MAG, so the Quality really just unlocks that tab. |

I did upload a character earlier with Omae, but she's referenced by her Name while other characters seem to be referenced by their aliases. It would be nice to be able to choose witch one to use since not everyone is using the same fields + the old characters where different.

Whoops, apparently that never made the change when Alias and Name traded places. I'll have this fixed in the next update - Alias will be required and you can choose to display either their Alias or Name (if it's available). It'll be a pretty light one this week.

The rules for creating ally spirits and their karma costs are all in Streetmagic. I've updated the Critters file so that newly-created Ally Spirits now have access to the Spirits and Spells tab. The Magician's Karma expenses for teaching the Ally Spirit any Spell need to be created as a manual Karma Expense since they're technically two independent characters (also, save files have no association with each other apart from simple links to open another file (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). |

Build 327
This update also includes a new Official NPC Packs category in Omae. All of the NPC zips that I have made available before can now be downloaded through here as well. This is also where I will be putting any future NPC zip files. |

Nice changes ... as always ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It seems that if you have more than one Empathy software in your gear, it adds them all up and applies them to Social skills.
Additionally, while I had the improperly stacked software equipped, it was allowing the skill to exceed the "20 or double attribute+skill" dice pool cap optional rule I had enabled. -k |

I'll have this fixed in the next update. It's a stupid little quirk where it's trying to chop the name down the first 100 characters and doesn't like it if the name is shorter than that (missing a single if statement). If your character's name is longer than 100 character, you're fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

The only ones that don't stack are the ones that explicitly state they don't stack with each other such as the Initiative modifiers. The ideal solution is probably to make the Equipped checkbox available for all pieces of Gear so you can toggle which ones are providing their bonuses. The maximum Rating thing appears to be working correctly from what I can see. I created a test character with BOD 6 and Diving 1. Put them in Career Mode and create an Improvement for +50 Diving. It correctly caps it to 20. If a character has BOD 6 and Diving 6, Diving's maximum Rating should be 24. If they have BOD 6 and Diving 1, their maximum Rating should be 20. I can't think of any reason why it would allow them to go over if the rule is turned on. Could you email me your save file (nebular@shaw.ca) if you're still having issues with this? |

Would it be possible to have a manual set limit on the number of Dice Roller windows? In writing fiction I like to have two or three open for various opposed dice rolls. A lot easier than having a box of dice at my laptop with a rather rambunctious cat that likes to use me as a freeway overpass.

Would it be possible to assign certain weapons to certain limbs? It would be pretty convienient.
Also, the Adept power Penetrating Strike's AP doesn't appear on the printed sheet. |

During one of the more recent patches the Knowsofts across all my characters suddenly stopped reporting their rating in the Knowledge Skills section. The skills are now giving me both a rating and total of 0, but are showing my related attribute. Having all my knowledge skills calculated and together was terribly convenient. Is this disappearance a glitch or is it something that can be dealt with through the Improvement Manager or other such means? I've looked through the wiki and can't seem to find anything relating to this issue.

I don't suppose you would consider adding the stuff from the datahaven magazine to chummer.

What I can do is add an option to remove the limit for 1 Dice Roller window. The tradeoff is that clicking on the Dice Roller button for Skills (if you have that enabled) will pop open a new Dice Roller window each time instead of reusing the open one if it exists. |
