SHADOWRUN GENERATOR UPDATE

I created this project because I absolutely hate making characters the old fashioned way. I'm not looking to make money off this project. I'm debating though just giving the whole thing to whoever owns the Shadowrun 4 intellectual property at the moment for no charge so that they can distribute it. So I've done all this development myself, which unfortunately is why it's taking so damned long.Īs far as long term plans with the CM, I'm not going to charge for it. I did get a few volunteers who wanted to help but RL stepped in and petered them all out. It's still got a long way to go before a regular release and probably still has a few months before even a real beta release. To help with that I put some logging into it so that if this thing crashes you can at least send me the log and I can attempt to figure out what's going on with the code. I'm putting this out to the community to get some feedback on the interface and to see if anyone finds any preliminary bugs that need to be smacked down. The program seems pretty stable over all, though I have no doubt that you'll find bugs in it.

Right now the only thing you can output to is the default XML schema which is what I store all characters and data in using plain text.

I plan to have the ability to output to almost any method of storage from HTML to specially formatted PDF sheet s( basically it uses Adobe fields ) so that you can output to a character sheet and print it out. Also unfortunately I don't have character sheet outputs yet. But none of that control is in place yet. You'll also be able to forbid or allow individual items or entire books of items, skills, powers and so forth if you want.

That way you can specify rules unique to your campaign ( say for example if you want a high powered game where there are 600 bp to start ).Įventually you'll be able to customize any gear item you purchase, for example adding a Thermal Dampening mod to a piece of armor you buy. You'll also be able to save your own data set and give it to a player who can then import it on his own and create a character based on it without overwriting their own data set. Later there will be a facility built in so that you can get the latest 'master' data set from the esr4CM project and integrate it with your custom items. Anything I've created an editor for ( and isn't invisible ) is working reasonably well and is usable for customization. So you can add any gear, skills, spells or even attributes you like. However, on the up side the editors I am using to input data are plainly visible and usable under the Configuration menu. So don't expect to be able to spend karma upgrading things just now. None of the character maintenance stuff is in place yet and hasn't even been plotted out in design. A lot of the customization stuff for gear isn't in yet either, but you can for example specify specializations for skills and details for qualities ( like what you're allergic to ).

SHADOWRUN GENERATOR UPDATE

If a type of cyber can be turned off and on, you won't see an update on screen either.

Some of the cyberware will not update any currently visible attribute ( for example you can't see Physical Damage Resistance anywhere yet), some will.

SHADOWRUN GENERATOR INSTALL

You can install cybernetics and bioware so far, though I don't have any nanoware in the system yet. I've still got a lot of item lists and editors to put in yet, but you can for example create new spells and adept powers, melee and firearm weapons, and new metatypes. There's nothing preventing you from going overboard on things ( for example using more than 400 points ) just yet but at least it keeps a running tally and you can't take more than 35 points of positive qualities ( or negative, though that will change ). It doesn't have all the bells, whistles and cheating safeguards in yet, but you can make a decent character with it and you can persist and reload that character from disk. Alright, I've got the thing ready for a pre-beta test.
