Mongoose 2e Traveller Character Sheet - Updates

Wait, what? I was under the impression that the charactermancer requires a compendium to work with, as in an  official compendium. How can you make it work without one? Maybe a custom one can work, but how far can you go before it becomes problematic copyright-wise? Not trying to be a wet blanket here, just wondering. What does your charactermancer stuff entail exactly? A possibility of rolling MongTrav 2e characters directly in Roll20 with the career options, events and all -- or am I badly misunderstanding this? Dohxuul O. said: @all Would you prefer I merge in my changes as I finish each step (characteristics, background, pre-career, career) or would you rather wait until I finish the entire charactermancer? If this affects the current character sheet, I would prefer you wait until you're finished before merging anything.

@Tommi As far as I can tell, the charactermancer doesn't require a compendium. My plan is to design the charactermancer so I can easily remove/reword the tables if Mongoose requests it. Yes, I plan to have it roll MongTrav 2e characters with career options, events, and all.

Hi Scott, Although technically such rules can be implemented ‘in character sheet’, you should note: <a href="https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037773453-Minimum-Requirements-Best-Practices" rel="nofollow">https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037773453-Minimum-Requirements-Best-Practices</a> Specifically second part of point 1 (Code of Conduct): Do not infringe on intellectual property . Community sheets should not include character creation or advancement due to potential copyright restrictions. I think you need to clear this with Mongoose on the questions part of their forums first as there’s &nbsp;no point implementing this if they prohibit it, and it’s a courtesy. As per the above, Roll20 may reject it anyway… If that is the case, still a great project to make your home games very cool ;-) C

@Coryphon Thanks for the pointers. I'll head over to Mongoose and ask Matt.

@Coryphon Do you have a link to that Mongoose forum where MongooseMatt resides? I seem to have lost the link.

Thanks!

From Mongoose forums FYI Will be interesting to see what this means for current sheets…or may be maps and adventures… C

Thanks @coryphon. I was just about to post that myself.&nbsp; No need to continue my charactermancer work.

Coryphon, I do hope you will still continue your work on the current sheet. There's no telling when the Mongoose sheet will be released (even if they claim 'soon', it could be many, many months away) or how good it actually is (could be a very plain sheet - at least, at first). Your work on improving the current sheet has made it very good and I will mostly likely be using it (with a few customizations) even after the official Mongoose sheet is published (unless that sheet really blows my socks off - but even then, those sheets are not customizable, AFAIK, which I need for my house rules).

Hi Tommi, Yes, certainly will be ;-) And thanks for your kind words… It may be that they will add compendium, or adventures, but whether that presupposes a character sheet I’m not sure at this stage… Will be interesting to see, C

Would you have the ability to add the Morale, Luck stats so they can be used in our game Hey Donald, I think I added a repeating skill group that you can add any extras like these to, you add a label and then it’s the usual three numeric fields… I’m sure I did this as there was a request for the Luck skill… C Edit: It’s called Characteristics &nbsp;on the Prime tab

Folks, Created a jsfiddle to play around with re-styling the roll templates here:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/pelwer/qhufax0s/136/" rel="nofollow">https://jsfiddle.net/pelwer/qhufax0s/136/</a> Feel free to improve on it.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am no CSS wizard - that's for sure. I tried to include all the feedback from this thread as well as explicitly printing the "Effect" of the roll.&nbsp; &nbsp;There may be other things we want to be displayed.&nbsp; I'll leave it up to Coryphon to decide if he wants to include any of these changes in the official version.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Any chance that the problem with freight on the Trade&nbsp; tab will get fixed any time soon? IE: 'Major Cargos' are not all -one- size, but are 1d6x10 tons, -each-. That's a spread, from 10-60 tons. (and similarly, for Minor&nbsp; - 1d6x5, 5-30 tons spread)

The other small thing that was on my wishlist, is having -2- entries, for 'group funds', to make separating 'operating income' (Freight &amp; passengers), from speculative cargo easier (as party I'm running, is running a subsidized merchant) . Which means 50% of operating income, goes to owner, while spec cargo is all -theirs- (and pays cargo rates,&nbsp; to operating fund).&nbsp;

Hi All, I'll soon be working on the next round of bug fixes and features. I'm going to add them to GitHub ( here ) in the form: Mongoose Traveller 2e: Bug:&nbsp;Here is a bug Mongoose Traveller 2e: FR:&nbsp;Here is a feature request Feel free to raise similar ones (although best to post here as well as I'm not sure how to get alerts on issues!) The current outstanding list which I've gleaned from this forum is: Add field in turret for Barbette/Bays/Spinal multipliers Add DD support to all weapons on all sheets (currently only on vehicle and ship weapons) Freight lot sizes incorrectly implemented Add the Psi Stat to the NPC sheet Extra entry(ies) for Group Funds to separate speculative from freight/cargo* Adding optional wounding rules from Traveller Companion Under the Ship Sheet "Running Costs" there is a field for Monthly Maintenance. The next field says "Purchase Cost". Should this not be Monthly Mortgage? (Need to add: Fuel (full tank) cost, mortgage, life support, salaries etc. from Mg Ship Sheet I guess?)* Parse UWPs in the form UWP: B 5 4 6 8 4 9 – 9&nbsp; to allow easier copy paste from TravellerMap Add (possibly conditionally/option checkbox) r estyled roll templates from Pat Mark GitHub Bug: Mongoose Traveller 2e: Bug in Roll for Psionic power #10094 as complete Investigate adding short form (tab-delimited) subsector information parsed into a tab to give a list of systems to drive trade (speculative, probably won't happen to avoid sheet bloat, caveats apply etc. etc. ;-)&nbsp; Will add these to GitHub in the next day or two,&nbsp; Regards, ~ Coryphon ~ Notes: * Does there need to be a better more consolidated way of doing the group funds things...hmmm.....thoughts?

Hi All, Next release nearly ready to roll, will have : Add DD (destructive) support to all weapons on all sheets (currently only on vehicle and ship weapons) Added for PC, NPC &amp; Animal Freight lot sizes incorrectly implemented Done but waiting for final approval from requestor via DM Add the Psi Stat to the NPC sheet Done, straight copy'n'paste but visibility controlled by checkbox as takes a fair amount of space Adding optional wounding rules from Traveller Companion New config checkbox that shows a textbox under main stats Under the Ship Sheet "Running Costs" there is a field for Monthly Maintenance. The next field says "Purchase Cost". Should this not be Monthly Mortgage? Added Mortgage, Life Support, Salaries and Full Tank Fuel costs Parse UWPs in the form UWP: B 5 4 6 8 4 9 – 9&nbsp; to allow easier copy paste from TravellerMap Done Mark GitHub Bug:&nbsp; Mongoose Traveller 2e: Bug in Roll for Psionic power #10094 &nbsp;as complete To do on release Add (possibly conditionally/option checkbox) r estyled roll templates from Pat Done, config checkbox added to control this, also tested in dark mode! Items that won't be implemented : Add field in turret for Barbette/Bays/Spinal multipliers - A fter discussion this is just too hairy to implement Investigate adding short form (tab-delimited) subsector information parsed into a tab to give a list of systems to drive trade (speculative, probably won't happen to avoid sheet bloat, caveats apply etc. etc. ;-) Probably not worth it at this time Items that need more context : Extra entry(ies) for Group Funds to separate speculative from freight/cargo ( awaiting response from DM to requestor ) Please let me know any comments, suggestions etc. etc. Best regards, ~ Coryphon ~

Cor, Can you pls look into the feasibility of adding STR DM to the Damage for Melee weapons?&nbsp; Thanks!

Heya, I’m pretty sure that’s already there using a computed roll, if you hover over damage you should see dice results but *actual* damage displayed should be +DM… I’ll check, ~ C ~ ~~ EDIT: NO! It appears it is not! ;-) On it now! ~~

Any ETA for the update?

Tommi said: Any ETA for the update? Hi Tommi, Literally just adding STR mod to STR (melee) weapon damage, which is nearly done (but has turned out to be a tricky one) Should submit to GitHub tomorrow, will post full change list, ~ Coryphon ~

Hi All, The latest code has been pushed to GitHub, should be live shortly. Items added: Added DD support to all weapons on all sheets Fixed Freight bug where not all lot sizes were correctly shown and calculated Added Subsidized checkbox that show's a Ships Funds field that receives Passenger/Freight income Added optional wounding text field Added extra running cost fields on Ship Sheet Can now parse UWPs in the form UWP: B 5 4 6 8 4 9 – 9 Added notes field to Animal Improved textarea sizes Changed Group Funds to Operating Funds and added a Subsidised checkbox that shows a new field Ship’s Funds. If checked then revenue from passenger and freight goes into the new field Zero out Freight and Passenger numbers when they are delivered/taken Added alternative roll templates controlled with checkbox (Pat) Added Effect display to alternative attack roll templates Items NOT added: Add STR mod to damage roll for Melee (Strength) weapons : The way weapons have been done makes this nigh on impossible to do without major reworking Regards, ~ Coryphon ~

Excellent! Thanks for your continued hard work on the sheet! Noticed a bug in the header. There's an errant '&amp;nbsp' by the settings button (see pic 1, below). Also, when using the alternate roll template, any skill specialities are not shown. They are shown with the original template. It would be nice to have them show with the new template too. (See pic 2, below. Both rolls are with the same skill.)

Noted for the new roll templates, on that too! Fixed! Resubmitted code now, will sadly be another day or two! ~ Coryphon ~

All should be fixed and merged now, ~ Coryphon ~

I’ll add the case check to ship/vehicle in next release. ~ Coryphon ~

Hi Cor, My players love the sheet, but they really love the "Notes" tab that gives them a giant text box to type in.&nbsp; Can you please look into the feasibility of adding a similar tab to the ship sheet?&nbsp; My players love to detail all the crap they have stored in the ship's locker....&nbsp;

The expandable panel or notes tab both sound good to me

Pat said: The expandable panel or notes tab both sound good to me Cool cool, will probably go for the Notes tab, bit more real estate that way... ~ C ~

Hi All, Small release is now live with: - Ship now has Details &amp; Notes subpanels - Ship critical hit locations in repeating rows now has full set of locations Regards, ~ Coryphon ~

Nice update Cor - thank you! Last night I noticed that vehicle weapons don't seem to be adding effect to damage: I can't screen shot the mouse over, but the indiv dice add up to 22...

Pat said: Nice update Cor - thank you! Last night I noticed that vehicle weapons don't seem to be adding effect to damage: I can't screen shot the mouse over, but the indiv dice add up to 22... Yep, they never seemed to, but obviously should. Have coded the fix, will wait and see if anything else crops up in a day or so before submitting! Thanks! ~ C ~

For the backlog: Would be nice to have this on the Vehicle sheet too someday:

Pat said: For the backlog: Would be nice to have this on the Vehicle sheet too someday: Roger that ;-) ~ C ~

Here's another one for the backlog: The critical location and severity info would be nice to have on the vehicle page

Code submitted for: - Vehicle notes tab - Vehicle critical damage location and severity ~ Coryphon ~

These features are now live: - Vehicle notes tab - Vehicle critical damage location and severity ~ Coryphon ~

Both look great - thank you!

Hey man, As requested… here is the Macro you asked for… but what makes this cool ass macro work, are the changes you made to the sheet. Without them there changes, this macro is useless. &nbsp; /w gm &amp;{template:default} {{name=**@{selected|character_name}** [STR: **@{selected|base-Strength}**](~selected|Strength)[DEX: @{selected|base-Dexterity}](~selected|Dexterity)[END: **@{selected|base-Endurance}**](~selected|Endurance) [INTEL: **@{selected|base-Intellect}**](~selected|Intellect)[EDU: **@{selected|base-Education}**](~selected|Education)[SOC: **@{selected|base-Social}**](~selected|Social) [PSI: **@{selected|base-PsionicStrength}**](~selected|PsionicStrength) [Initiative](~selected|initiative)&nbsp; **Armour:** @{selected|armour-protection} -- @{selected|armour-protection-laser} -- @{selected|armour-rads}}} {{[Boon](~selected|Boon) [Normal](~selected|Normal) [Bane](~selected|Bane)}}{{Athletics Skills [STR](!&amp;#13;#Athletics-STR)[DEX](!&amp;#13;#Athletics-DEX)[END](!&amp;#13;#Athletics-END)}}{{[**@{selected|weapon_name-1}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-1})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-1) [**@{selected|weapon_name-2}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-2})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-2)&nbsp; [**@{selected|weapon_name-3}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-3})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-3)&nbsp; [**@{selected|weapon_name-4}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-4})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-4)&nbsp; [**@{selected|weapon_name-5}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-5})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-5)&nbsp; [**@{selected|weapon_name-6}** (Skill: @{selected|weapon_skill-6})](!&amp;#13;#Fire-Weapon-6)&nbsp; }}!!! &nbsp; To really make this Sheet POP, would be to make the same changes to all the Attack buttons. It you did that… I would make as many Macros as you want for each of the Weapon Buttons you change. &nbsp; If the Ship Hard Point Weapons had a macro like the one, I made above… then Ship to Ship combat would be very quick and fun as hell! Without such a macro… its just not a fun experience. &nbsp; If you make them Weapon Button changes… I’ll make as many badass macros, as you want. And Post them all right here. &nbsp; Dan DaMan PS.&nbsp; &nbsp;Each Weapon (1 to 6), has its own Macro to fire the weapon. I Named it&nbsp; Fire-Weapon-1&nbsp; for weapon 1. (2 for 2 and so on) This is all that is in the Macro %{selected|roll-weapon-1} Oh... and I put the Main Macro in the Sheet as an&nbsp; Ability (and checked Token Action) If anyone has Questions or needs help... PM me.

This is what it will look like... If you change the name of the weapon within the sheet... it will change here as well. i.e Banana Gun
