This released focuses on making the editability for players.

Edit mode on actor sheets​

 #639  #663  #667

There are now two modes on the actor sheet, Edit Mode and Play Mode. You can switch between the modes by clicking on those icons in the actor sheet title bar.

In edit mode it is possible to edit characteristics, rune, skill & passion values. The screenshot of the skills tab, shows the gained chance input field. The percent chance shown to the right is the "normal" chance that includes both base chance and skill category bonus, as well as the gained chance.

To make it easy to see what mode the actor is in, a lot of accent colors are changed to green when it is in edit mode.

Play mode hides some things for the GM to make the actor sheet less cluttered. An example of this is the Creature? toggle that only is available in edit mode.

A new actor starts in edit mode, this means that after this upgrade all actors will be in edit mode. You can easily fix that by clicking on the edit mode toggle, or you can run a script that will be supplied separately.

Add gear items directly from actorSheet​

 #671

It is now possible for players (and GMs) to add new gear (gear, currency & consumables) themselves by clicking on a + icon.

Loosen duplicate embedded item name check​

 #672

As a followup to being able to create new gear, it is now also possible to have duplicates. Previously you could only have one gear, armor or weapon named the same, but now you can have as many as you like.

Drag a weapon to a pack animal without adding the weapon skills​

 #450

If you drag a weapon to an actor the skills linked to that weapon will also be added so that the actor can use the weapon. This is good in most cases, but if you drag a spear to a horse it doesn't make sense that the horse gets the skill to fight with that spear. This issue is solved by checking if the actor you drag the weapon to has arms (specifically a hitlocation with the rqid i.hit-location.right-arm) and if it doesn't it won't add the skills.

Background tab biography field should be player editable​

 #670

Only the GM could edit the biography text field on the background tab of the actor sheet. Now players can do that too.

Add hit location and rune dropdowns into RqidLink areas​

 #656

In all places where you can set a link to a rune or hit-location there now is a dropdown that will add a link. You can still drag-n-drop to the area but it is hopefully an easier way to adding these.

The lists are populated by looking in compendiums for rqids of rune and hit locations, so if you would like to add more runes / hit locations, you would need to create a compendium and assign a new rqid to them.

Make Hero Points an opt-in setting​

 #661

Hero points are not part of the standard rules but was still shown on the character sheet. You can now decide if you want them or not with a setting.

Make the characteristics ratings an opt-in setting​

Each user (GM or player) can now decide if they want to see the rating of the characteristics value as a red / green bar under the value. The setting is per user, but realistically it's mostly for GMs to get a quick evaluation of NPCs.

Other Bug Fixes & Improvements​

• Rqid editor "Get Document Like This" is not filled in properly  #665
• Priests don't get the 20% bonus to their POW gain roll  #649
• Show an explanation in the Rune Magic tab why nothing is shown as lay member  #668

A focus of this release has been to remove the last hindrances to translate the system. Now hit location names are no longer used for identification so they can be translated without affecting functionality. There is most likely still rough edges when it comes to translations, but from this version everything should be translatable.

Improve UX of missile weapons & projectiles​

 #154  #492

In previous versions only the GM could select what arrows a bow should use. With this update the players can do that themselves in the combat tab on the actor sheet. The quantity of projectiles and thrown weapons can now be edited directly in the combat tab as well. The input fields have a slightly brighter color than the rest of the sheet. And hopefully it should be easier to understand how much ammo you have. Please note that only equipped ammo will be shown in the dropdown.

Use rqid for armor coverage and remove hit locations setting​

 #379  #380

The hitlocations were previously identified by name, and the available hitlocations were defined in a setting. That setting is now removed and the compendiums in the world are now scanned by the system for hit location rqids. This is part of making hit locations translatable, but it also makes it more important that the hit locations actually have a proper rqid, since that is used to identify what an armor item protects.

You can either drag and drop a hit location item to the "Hit locations" area on the armor item or select one in the dropdown to add it to the set of hit locations the armor item protects.

Change the hit location "Connected to" field to use rqid instead​

 #449

To completely remove any use of hit location names for identification, the "Connected to" property now also uses rqid. A hit location item "Connected to" setting is used in damage calculations. Hit locations that have a "for damage calculations act as" set to "Limb" and also are "Connected to" a hit location that have "for damage calculations act as" set to "Abdomen" will become useless if the Abdomen hit location gets a hard blow.

Also since the rqid now is so important for hit location items it is shown among the other properties (see screenshot). If you need to edit it, the normal fingerprint icon in the header will open the rqid editor.

The "Connected to" dropdown is populated by the hit locations in compendiums that have a hit location rqid.

Bug Fixes & Improvements​

• add headbutt & hit as combat maneuvers
• spirit Combat panel should not be visible without spirit combat skill  #658

• This release contains a few bugfixes and improvements. Notably it no longer hides any rune items that are embedded on an actor. If there are any runes that aren't shown in the normal tables, there is another table with the "extra" runes so they can be deleted or edited.

• Also in worlds where the world language is set to something else than English, the Rqid search is improved. If searching for a Rqid don't find any document, the same Rqid will be searched again for an English version. This can be used for adding journal descriptions in another language that fallback to showing the English version if no translation exists.

For example the system provided cult "Ernalda" has a linked description to Rqid je..ernalda. Adding a translated description journal with the Rqid je..ernalda and with the same language as the world would open that journal instead of the english version. At the same time some other cult that is linked to a description that did not have any translated description would open the English version.

• The "focus" field on spirit magic items can now be edited by players on the actorSheet spirit magic tab. Just click on the focus column to edit.

Bug Fixes & Improvements​

• embedded runes may be hidden  #644
• fallback to english when searching for a rqid in another language  #643
• Firefox fails to load scenes since token effect svgs needs height & width for display on canvas
• Get Items Like This is missing from the rqid editor  #646
• affordance of view gear by itemtype / location tabs is low  #177
• column Focus on spirit magic tab should be editable
• add tooltip to show rune name & chance on character runes in header

Make damage bonus part of weapon damage string​

 #106

In previous versions the system tried to figure out if full, half, or no damage bonus should be added to the weapon damage by looking at if it's a melee, thrown or missile weapon. This worked for the majority of weapons, but could not capture exceptions like sling that is a projectile weapon, but anyway should get half damage bonus.

Starting with this version you need to add +db or +db/2 to the damage string of the weapon if you want it to include a damage bonus. The damage listed in the Weapons & Equipment books are expressed in the same way (except they write halv damage bonus like +½db).

There is a migration included that should update all existing damage strings.

Make runes translatable by using rqid for linking​

 #270

Previous versions used the name of rune items for linking to them, with this change the rqid of the runes are used instead. This should make it possible to translate the name of the runes.

The links that were changed was; opposing & minor runes links in the rune item, cult item runes, rune magic item runes, and skill runes (used for sorcery spells until a dedicated sorcery spell item type exists). With this change the system setting for the name of the magic rune was removed and the rqid of the magic rune is now a CONFIG instead (set to i.rune.magic-condition by default).

There are migrations for all the item changes needed for this.

Improvements to the rqid editor​

 #457  #642

The Rqid editor field for the id now autofills the part of the id that fully depends on the document type. It also handles setting language and priority better when creating a new rqid. You will get default values for that when you set a rqid.

The info display, as well as the list of other items with the same rqid now has an improved display of what folder the document is located in.

Hide Opposing / Minor rune settings depending on runeType on Rune Item Sheet​

 #269

The settings for opposing and minor runes in the rune item sheet are now only shown when they are relevant according to the type of the rune.

Bug fixes​

• Name of special damage in chat damage roll is impale even for slash damage  #629
• Actor without POW / MP is shown as unconscious and also show MP input field  #631
• Null exception if hit location lacks rqid flag "id" when dragged to actorSheet
• Combat panel SR button is not right aligned for natural weapons

The previous release contained a serious bug that prevented actor sheets to be opened if there were not any ongoing combat.

Bug Fixes​

• Impossible to open character sheets  #627
• Missing translation on weapon itemSheet

Move system compendiums into a separate wiki module​

 #597  #598

Having the compendiums as a separate module, one per language, mean a lot less compendiums in the system in the future when we have multiple languages. It also simplifies the administration of what set of wiki you want since it will be handled by activating / deactivating modules instead of specialised settings in the system. Having them as a separate module also simplifies releasing updates since the module can be released independently of the system.

The previous compendium packs were built for the previous Foundry database NeDB, but the new wiki module builds database files for the v11+ database "classic level" so Foundry does not need to convert them at startup anymore.

Add SR buttons to actor sheet​

 #620

For linked actors that currently are in combat there is now a row of 12 SR buttons. Clicking one of those will add a combatant to the current combat tracker at that SR, and clicking it again will remove it. There is also a ⓘ icon with a tooltip that has a reminder about how many SR various actions take. The DEX SR and SIZ SR are visualised by background color as an aid when using this.

Reset Initiative removes duplicate combatants​

 #509

The top of the combat tracker is updated so that the "Reset Initiative" ↺ button clears all duplicate combatants and their SRs. The previous buttons "Roll All" & "Roll NPCs" are removed since they make no sense for RQG.

Missile weapon SR buttons​

 #510  #504

Missile weapons now have buttons for populating the combat tracker at the SRs they can shoot. For weapons with rate S/MR there are two buttons depending on if you start the round with a loaded arrow or not. The Range and Rate of missile weapons are now shown, both on the combat tab and on the gear tab.

Actor name extendedName field​

 #549

The actor name is now divided into the name field and an extendedName / epithet field. The intended use is to keep the name short since that is what is displayed in sidebars, chat etc. The epithet field could then be used for family names or descriptive addons like "son of Herila" or "the dragon slayer". As part of this change the layout of the header was also updated, and if the actorsheet width is reduced the image is hidden to conserve space.

Integration with module Drag Ruler​

 #618

If you have the module Drag Ruler active then you will get feedback on how far you can move your token. By default the green color means you are within attack range, a yellow color means you can get there but cannot attack. Red color means you cannot get there.

There is also support for an optional rule that lets you sprint further than your MOV. See "Speed Provider" settings in the drag ruler module settings.

Smaller bug fixes, features and refactorings​

• Actors now fall unconscious when they reach zero magic points  #414
• CON 0 gives wrong Max ENC  #610
• Improve restart settings code  #616
• Improve Active Effect tab by showing a link to the item an AE originates from  #617
• add translations for sheet names (items, actor & rollTable)
• fix error message for non integer ENC Factor values
• make default item icon colors black in the settings dialog

New hit location view for humanoids and improved wounded indications​

 #290

For actors with humanoid hitlocations the display is now more graphical. For this to work the hitlocations need correct rqids, and that can be fixed with the supplied macro RuneQuest Glorantha | en/Macros & Rolltables/Rqid Macros "Set Hit Location Rqids", that was added in the last release.

System compendium packs are now organized into folders​

 #578

The handling of compendiums in Foundry 11 is much improved and this release takes advantage of the new abilities by organizing the supplied system compendium packs into folders.

Migrate Active Effects to foundry 11​

 #594  #602

Active Effects have changed in Foundry 11 and RQG now follows the new standard of not copying the active effects from the items to the actor. Instead they remain on the items, and it is also possible to edit acive effects even on embedded items. The "hidden" AE debug tab that shows active effects that affect an actor has been updated to take this into consideration. Also the item sheets no longer hide the active effect tab on embedded items. Note: To see the active effect tab run CONFIG.RQG.debug.showActorActiveEffectsTab=true in the f12 browser console.

BUG: Rune magic should not be accessible for cult laymembers​

 #593

If you are not initiated into a cult you should not have access to the cults common rune magic. If you only have laymember status in a cult the rune magic table is now hidden.

Improve UX of MOV and relocate the ENC display to the gear tab​

 #516

The MOV / ENC display in the actor sheet header has been too complicated. This tries to simplify it by concentrating on shoving MOV only there. The max / equipped % carried ENC is shown on the gear tab instead.

Make it easier to see if a skill can get experience or not​

 #476

On the skill tab there is now a "pen" icon on the skills that can not be improved by experience, but has to be studied to improve. This should make it more obvious why you don't get an "experience" glow on some skills.

Show parent document name on itemSheets title​

To make it easier to know what item sheet you are looking at the actor name is now shown in the title.

Show a warning if the hit locations don't add up​

 #499

If an actor has a set of hit locations that do not cover the full range of the d20 hit location die, or if there are hit locations that overlap there will now be a warning displayed to make it more obvious that the actor is not correctly set up.

Add tooltip to rqid window button​

 #455

The titlebar rqid icon is moved to the left side, next to the Foundry id icon. Also it is no longer necessary to open the rqid window to see what rqid the document has, since that information is now shown as a tooltip.

Various minor tweaks for Foundry v11​

• fix: icon color in compendiums is wrong in v11  #585
• fix: foundry v11 warns about Item translation  #583
• feat: use Foundry font definition for Norse font  #595

A number of bug fixes, and "behind the scenes" eslint was added to the build. That should improve code quality going forward, but it also meant that more or less every file has changes.

Bug Fixes​

• embedding a weapon shows a warning for usages without linked skill  #591
• runes in sorcery tab should not display chance  #586
• system background is broken (in Foundry v11)  #579
• system compendiums are missing embedded (descendant) documents (in Foundry v11)  #588
• weapon chat shows all usages regardless if it has the skill or not  #590

• replace the broken hitlocation rqid setter form with a macro  #576
• update compendium hit-location rqids to new standard form  #576
• skillSheet & HitLocationSheet is missing values  #572
• wrong rqid on i.skill.fists-fist in compendium  #574
• show a rqid form for rune items  #577

Set Hit Location Rqids Macro​

There has been a design change in how the rqids for hit locations should be constructed. Now the system default syntax is for example i.hit-location.left-leg and there is a macro in the compendium "Rqid Macros" called "Set Hit Location Rqids" that can set the correct rqid on all hit-locations (even on those that already has a rqid set).

This syntax is expected by the token effect for protection, so to make that work this macro needs to be run, and at least the humanoid hitlocations needs to be updated.

This macro will list RQG hit location names and let you match them to the location names from the system settings by drag-n-drop. Yellow background means that the name does not exist as a setting. That might be fine if you do not have any creatures that need that hit location. It could also be because you have translated the hit location to another language so that they don't match the English names.

Drag the names from the right setting table to the corresponding hit location. If you are missing a hit locations to drag from, just add them to the system hit location setting, and rerun this macro.

When "Update" is clicked, all hit location items in compendiums, world and scenes will get the standard Rqid for that hit location.

This release fixes the errors Got unexpected item type in assert, undefined ≠ skill. There was a missed line that still used the old style of weapon to skill links.
