Old World of Darkness
I am working on a datafile for the "Old" or Classic World of Darkness. For now I am implementing Werewolf: the Apocalypse. But it seems like adding other systems to the data will be easy since they standardized many things across the different systems published.
|
Pretty much done with Werewolf's mechanics now. I just have a little tweaking to finish up.
|
That was fast! Congrats!

If anyone wants to do data entry on these files, let me know via PM. I am going to start coding out the Structure mechanics for Vampire or Mage next.

Character Sheet progress for Vampire the Masquerade, almost have all the assets built for this.
|
Nice!
I look forward to seeing (and being able to use HL for oWod stuff. :) |

Mage Progress thus far, Spheres are done, Quintessence.Paradox and Arete traits are added.

Hey Great Job, I was wondering if you would be doing anything for the Dark Age games or will what you have done with the setup you have, would we be able to add all of that game to what you have? Dark Ages setting was my all time favorite of all their settings. Thanks for what you are doing, you are the man

Does the Dark Ages need any specific mechanics built? The only thing I think might need alteration is the Generation background for that one, and I don't think that would be too hard to rig up. I can rig it up to work as necessary with eval scripts. |
I just dug up the character sheet for V20 Dark Ages and it looks like the skills can be changed out with an eval script on the skills based on which source tag is enabled, at least until I overhaul how skills are done via tags later.
I think aside from skills and modifying the Generation background this system I built should easily support Dark Ages as well. I should be able to just add a source for it and leave the data entry to you guys. I'm only building the structure file, I am not doing the full data entry as I don't possess all the books in the line, that will up to the community to get done. However, the structure file now supports Werewolf, Mage, and Vampire. I got the main mechanisms built and it flows smoothly. V Dark Ages support will occur, the skills will be an easy fix. Based on the character sheet you only need me to add Discipline Techniques, which is just one new component from what I can tell. The skills I can crank through this week. I may even get the overhaul in this week if I have free time for it. |
Thanks for your quick answer Raven, and thanks so much for your work on this.
I am not sure about the mechanics, it has been a long while since I played, I started picking up all the new 20th Anniversary books to see if they changed any or just cleaned it up. |

More Vampire progress, this one shows the printing of Discipline powers. Also fixed archetypes as Natures and Demeanors and created an identity tab to select them since they are stardardized across the systems now.

The attached sheets show some of the changes in implementation since last night. I have been quite busy hammering this code into a finely crafted dagger that even an Assimite vampire would proudly wield. Good news is that once I get these mechanics done, the Dark Ages support will be a fast follow up.

Looking Good, Raven
Happy to hear about the Dark Ages |

Looks like I am down to Sorcery paths and rituals and this structure file is finished for player character Vampires...
|
It was a long, dark night last night... but I think I got the needed things hammered out on the player character side for V20. Now I have to hammer out NPC stuff and then I can start examination of the Dark Ages tome under scrutiny.
|
Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I say "HELL YEAH"!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh maybe I did.......

Sample sheet showing the Ghoul mechanics have been successfully implemented for character creation. Made a lot of changes last night, but the source code is looking better with each pass.
|
Finalizing the Animal races now, after this I should be ready to enter data for V20, which means I will switch to a different book to start adding additional components.
|
Animal Race Support is done now. That should get the bestiary mostly implemented. Other game system monsters need their books done first so I'll get to that as I get to it. The upgrade to V20 is pretty much done now. I just have a couple tweaks to make and I can move on to the next book.
|
The current coding for the V20 file should support the addition of the data from the Dark Ages as well. The systems are essentially the same. I will add a new source for the data so whoever wants to add that data can get started.

Scripted the code for the Merits and Flaws. Merits and Flaws now do what they should do. Attached is a child ghoul with the appropriate flaws limited her size and speed. More character sheet modifications to come.

I would like this
How does one get this?

Would it not be similar to the community files for D&D?

Even if there was, the "kind" people, and I use this term very loosely, over at Onyx Path Publishing who actually write the books for Paradox Interactive managed to tick me off so bad I haven't purchased a single product of theirs in a long time and it is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyy doubtful I will be purchasing anything from them ever again. I won't go into details but on "their" forums I asked for clarification on something in Exalted and got a 2 year ban with no reason other than the moderator didn't like me asking. Since then I have not given a damn for their products and will not support them. Sorry. If you want the data you'll have to learn to code it yourself, "For personal use only" since you're not allowed to distribute it without Paradox Interactive giving you a green light or OGL. D&D 5e was not supported by Lone Wolf Development initially. 5e was on the shelf until the OGL was announced. Unless there is some kind of open license for a game system you can't distribute data files for it without drawing the potential for lawsuits against you and cease and desist orders for distributing the files in the first place. I have no intention of drawing such ire from a company that has earned my ire. I am done with White Wolf for good at this point. |
Holy crud dude, I am so sorry to hear about all of that. I am trying to find a way to do it but am having no luck whatsoever on it :S That is what I get for learning financial info instead of coding. I will continue to work on it though and am glad to hear SOMEONE has done it, even though I understand why you cannot send out info to anyone and I am not asking for that.
