My tweaks to support Themes

[cryptoknight]

Does this still work? I really want to get themes on my characters, but I'm unsure if this will do what I need. I don't relish the though of having to hand create the themes even after using this patch, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

The 3.15 patch still work against 3.16 as none of the patched files have changed in 3.16. At one point I thought about doing a tweak to ddidownloader to get it to export the themes but since I'm not currently playing a 4e game haven't really had the itch to do so.

[cryptoknight]

Other than an occasional LFR game I also don't have a regular 4e game, but recently I sat down at a con, and realized that themes have gotten interesting enough that hand-coding them in doesn't even bother me.

I wish Wolflair would just incorporate your patch, even if I have to type them all in by hand, it would at least get them in there

Thanks!

Hmmm having trouble with something like the Black-Hearted Knave.

It's level 1 trait is a bonus attack power (highest stat vs AC), triggered by shoving one of his friends at his intended enemy.

So I made the power and left the attack stat as none, and checked the boxes to have the physical or mental attribute selected, but while the validation says I must select an attribute, I can't find anywhere to do so.

Any tips?

Still struggling here.

I'm not sure if there's a panel missing to make selections based on the theme, or if I'm doing this wrong. Can you take a look?

Dude is a swordmage who multiclassed to wizard and took the Blackstaff Apprentice theme.

At level 5 it should give him access to 3 cantrips of his choice, I used the code from the Mage class (who also gets 3 picks out of 4 cantrips), and the validator says he needs to select, but I don't see a spot to select them. Did I miss something, or does the tweak need tweaking?

Thanks!

I'll take a look, I noticed that you included Harper in your file, you might want to check my last post on the previous page where I had the full implementation of Harper just needing the description text pasted in. It includes updating the pin giving the blessing choices.

[cryptoknight]

I'm looking at your harper... but I don't understand how you got the pick lists to show up for the powers

[Daphne Pfister]

I set usrCandid1: component.Power & PowerLink.HarperPin1

This caused as choice of all the things that were of component.Power that had tag PowerLink.HarpenPin1 assigned.

Then I had a script that assigned the tag Helper.ChosenOpt to the chosen thing.

Though I think I like the way Mage cantrips work. Let me see if I can get User.FeatureChk working correctly. I think I broke it slightly with my changes, would allow me to work around a small hack I had to put into my patch.

[cryptoknight]

Yah I can see how that wouldn't work anyway... I'd need to have all 4 powers show up with check boxes, similar to the class feature... :/

Okay I updated my patch so it supports the stuff necessary for such a feature. Check the first post for the updated files. Let me know if the stuff works for you. The sample Harper agent ( again sans description / flavor text ) has been updated to use FeatureChk so should be a good sample of how this works.

I've only done minimal testing and removed a bunch of other unrelated customizations I have, so hopefully didn't break anything in the process. I did leave some fixes in for character sheets, including one related to User.FeatureChk powers which would get printed on page two even if the feature wasn't checked.
