Mongoose Traveller Sheet Robot

1460898856

Edited 1460898954
I'm doing a home brew game where people can use the character creation of a robots.  It's the Book 9 : Robots that I'm referring to.  I would send a message directly to the creator of the Traveller character sheet but I don't want to piss anyone off.  Also kind of hoping someone already figured this out. In the character creation, there are hulls for robots.  I know when it comes to endurance checks they rely on dice modifiers but I'm trying to figure out how to translate this onto the character sheet that is already in Roll20.  If you don't know, I am a free user and this is literally my first time GMing on Roll20. So if anyone can help me translate all the extra keywords and whatnot the robot book has to the traveller character sheet already made would greatly be appreciated.  I have already asked r/traveller and they suggested I contact the creator of the sheet for help.  So far, the only thing that is already there is strength and dexterity. This is for first edition mongoose traveller if that helps.
Found a way around it but still upset I have yet to get an answer.  Has the sheet author fell off the earth? Passed on?  Is no more?
Coal Powered Puppet , the sheet's author, is very much earthbound and alive. I recommend appealing to them via private message, but they'll probably see this thread.
Thanks, I did and he/she didn't reply.  So I don't know what else to do.
Yes, Coal Powered Puppet has fallen off the earth (it is spinning rather quickly)....and I didn't get a private message.  I will see what I can do to help. Couple thoughts: I won't adjust a community sheet for one game's homebrew.  I can alter the code and send it to you, so if a Pro User started the game you can have a custom sheet.  If this is an official option, and will look into adding that to the sheet. I borrowed a copy of the Traveller book to make the sheet, and do not have any other books, so I will need some guidance on making the adjustments. I am currently rather busy, so the speed in which I will accomplish things falls into that wide range of slow and slower.  
Pull request for traveller update
So then, did you get yourself the book 9 robots?  Also, did you include book 4 Psion in this or just the core book?
Just the core book
okay, thank you.  Do we need to vote on this to push it through?
Ah.  There is a bug in the sheet.  The Other skills all use the same attribute dm.  So apparently, if you want psi skills, you'll have to put them under other and then select the closest attribute to your psi strength, and then use futher dm's to get the math right. But even then, they all have the same skill level as the first talent listed so.....
Until the update is approved, there will be no changes.  So, right now its pending. No, there should be no voting required.  All that has to happen is I have to not have screwed something up.  We'll see.
Soooooooooo....how is it?
Are you asking me or the other guy?
Whoever is using it.  I care not where the input comes from, just that it is useful for improving the sheet
For some reason, when I click to add a power, I have to click add twice in order to work.  Unless I put something in the box, it automatically removes the box.  This includes for powers, skills, and in robotics.  You are missing two things in Robotics.  Hull and Structure.  Those are the two things that need to be added and it's perfect.  Thank you very much for doing this!
Auto removing is a funuction of the peating feild.  Effectively, by putting something into one of the boxes turned the repeating field from a 'temporary idea" into a "I'm a real boy attribute!". What book is Structure and Hull in?  I pulled from the Robotics book, and didn't see it
Structure and hull is in both Core and book 9 robotics.
Check it out .  Got the book and redid the robot sheet. I am not happy with the layout, so if you have any ideas how to improve it, let me know.
That actually works especially since each cost can be tracked. Thank you for that. Nothing appears to be wrong from my end. Thank you.
Okay, now that I managed to see this not on my phone, I can see some problems.  One, the sheet is laid feels like there are no broken lines so you can just follow stuff down.  May I suggest adding names (size, slots, mass, and cost) over each section? That way the players don't have to mess around with much guess work when looking down on the page.  But it's up to you. I'm just greatful you managed to do this much.
Added names to each section
Thank you
So am I good to push the changes to to githug and get the sheet in position to be pushed to all of roll20?
still would like lines but if that can't be done then yes.  It would be great to go ahead and push.  Everything looks fine.

Thank you
