Dreams of the First Age Character Creation #352

Closed ferrushin closed 11 years ago

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

Is there any chance to see the Dreams Character Creations options for terrestrials and sidereals too? because they both have just a "First Age [Exalted Type]" option.

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Sure. All it takes is for someone to type in the necessary data. We (of the core team) have moved on to preparing everything for Third Edition, but there are plenty of people (e.g. in the forums) around who are knowledgeable enough to type it up and submit to us for inclusion. You might even do it yourself, if you know some XML.

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

I tried something, but it didn't worked well. Sidereals options show up but first age background do not. Terrestrials Options for Character creation doesn't even show up. How can I post my coding? I can't really figure out what's not working

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Either post your code here, or upload your file somewhere (like Google Drive or Dropbox) and share the link here. I'll have a look.

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

Ok, here's the link to all the files I did/modified. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6PLmpoP-UfFTnBFazJhcDFTaUE&usp=sharing

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Thanks. Inspecting your files, I see three issues:

  1. In the XML files, you references the various TraitCollection.template files as template/.... Anathema can't handle subfolders in the custom folder, so it does not find your file, which renders your character description incomplete and hence, invalid. If you put the files in the custom folder and adjust the references, this will go away.
  2. The filename for the Trait Collection Template for Legendary DBs has an extraneous I. Remove it to fix.

You mention an issue with Backgrounds, to which I must admit that Anathema doesn't support adding specialized backgrounds to custom templates. If you finish up your templates and allow us to use them in the project, I can add the necessary lines in the code before distributing it.

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

If there's something special to do to allow you to use thecode tell me, otherwise you can definitely use it. I'll fix it and post a link to the new files.

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Nothing special; I just didn't want to turn your request for help into a contribution without your consent. I'll do it once you put up the new files.

Thanks!

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6PLmpoP-UfFTnBFazJhcDFTaUE&usp=sharing I made the corrections you told me, at least I believe I did. Actually, after copying those files in the custom folder they didnt' show up as options once I looked for them in Anathema. Howwever here's again the link the files are the new ones. I removed the old rar file.

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

That's alright, as long as the numeric values and limits are all in - that's the part I don't like checking. Could you please list the backgrounds I should add to the templates and whatever limits or special values apply to them?

I'll include everything afterwards, and send you a pre-release version for checking.

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Backgrounds

Okay, your files are working. I have added the standard backgrounds for the current Dreams templates, if you need any other, please name them.

Credit

To you want credit given to 'ferrushin', or some other alias or name? And do you want this contribution to link to your github profile? I'd need your registered email address for that, you could send it to ursreupke@gmail.com if you don't want it to be public.

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

The backgrounds I wanted was just the standards. The only "special" thing I wanted was to allow all first age Terrestrial templates to purchase Breeding up to the 6th dot at character creation. "ferrushin" will do fine. I'm sending you an email for the address. Thanks a lot!

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Excellent, it's in: f7f12cc3d7559a133afeeab60028786636ff80f3

Unfortunately, adding legendary breeding is a more involved effort (same as all the missing legendaries), so this is it for now.

If you want to make sure I did not botch something, you can download the pre-release build, look for the "last successful artifacts" in the center and choose the one for your system.

If I don't hear from you over the next day or two, I'll just go ahead with the release - I might be busy this week, so it could take until Saturday.

Update: The files are now available.

ferrushin commented 11 years ago

everything seems to be working fine.

UrsKR commented 11 years ago

Thanks. The release is out.
