So, anyone written any good SR4 netplay tools or found a generic toolset that works for them? Are any of the SR3 tools still relevant?
Thanks
Full Version: SR4 Netplay tools.
i'd have a butchers at the community section of the SR3 forum, as there's a fair few bits n' bobs in there that might be useful.
What?
He's saying there might be some stuff that Nalanthi may find useful in the Community Projects section of the site. Can't you translate cockney? 
I've been working on an online chat system with a dashboard like interface. A GM starts a session and his or her players can log on to it. Then, each player can send private messages to the GM and receive them from the GM, but there's also a public chat window for the regular game. I've got just about everything ready ... then I just have to make it look appropriately futuristic and shadowrun-eske.

Yeah, but I enjoy coding my own. And I couldn't find a good openrpg roller for SR4.
you enjoy coding on your own so...MAKE an SR4 dice roller for SR4!

He did. Been using it for years.
Dashifen- any idea when you might release this treasure to us, the unwashed masses? 
And will it be Mac OS X compatible?

Maybe this weekend, now that I know there's interest. Mind you, if I let people in this weekend, it's going to be ugly and probably vomit error messages all over your game, but that'll only make it stronger.
It was originally intended to work as a solution for an online game I'm in but then we decided to use Skype which comes with its own built-in chatting/messaging interface, so the concept hasn't advanced too much. I'll see what I can do over the next 48 hours. My wife is busy this weekend anyway

It'll be online and I test with Safari so ..... yes!
I'll leave this thread to be unhijacked as a place for others to discuss their tools. I'll make a community post when I get something up this weekend.

It's not that great. And I haven't updated it in a year. Mostly because my wiki indexing of the source books and databasing of all things of cyberware and magic into a point and click database web page breaks copyright so I can't release it 
Edit: added the appropriate, and necessary 't following the word "can".

And me...
I now find myself sepparated from my physical group, so I've been looking for a chat based tool to see if I can get them to game online.

Dude, just the dice roller alone... And you included the source code!
If we (myself and my group) tweak it a bit, to, say, automate initiative, would you host the tweak?

Is it any worse than McMackie's NSRCG in that way?

Tweak away; I'd be happy to host it.
@Fortune:
Yes. I extracted the text of the PDF's and copied it verbatim in to database resident on my laptop (along with the PDFs). Then, I built an interface to that database for magic and I retyped most of the source books into a wiki and, all said and done, I don't think there's anyway to release it. It contains not only the statistics of the equipment and spells (like mcmackie's did) but also the actual rules and text of the books.

nice
I wonder what IRC channels exist out there that are SR4?
It would be cool if there was a program out there like the new D&D 4 program that Wizards is making. Go to youtube to see the videos of it. I wonder how hard it will be to mod for SR?

there used to be a irc server under the dumpshock address. anyone knows what happened to it?

and thats when you break out python and code your own
hell, its even designed so as to make it simple to do just that iirc.
i would guess that the wod roller would make for a nice place to start, as i think it can take any sided dice and a target number and spit back successes. now strap on code for those fumble rules, and maybe a way to roll exploding vs normal (if the roller not already support that) and presto...
but then its been a bit of time since i checked up on the program...

been broken for quite a bit... since the last time the place went down. Like some of the web sites. Not sure what the plans are for it in the future... suppose I can ask around.
I should probably warn you, bibliophile, that the dice roller I wrote is my one and only attempt at python. The code could suck because I don't usually work in python. I just wanted to take her out for a spin in case it ever came up for me professionally.
