As per this topic, the Wiki is missing some information. Now I missed most of this my first time through, on account of that I was developing my own system instead of the Savage system, but I started another go-around and decided to document it.
Savage Worlds Walk-Through First off, the link to the Savage Worlds game system no longer resolves. Fortunately, the mirror link works fine. The First Steps Nothing actually being done in this step, but they are important tips on how to set things up. Develop Your Plan Again, just informational, still important, although I don't think most people will understand the building blocks until they've implemented a system. Initial Changes Ah, finally changing code. This is all simple cutting and pasting. Nothing much to say here. Traits Getting into the meat of things. First off, the file you will be editing is "traits.str". I don't think that actually gets called out. Also, just cutting and pasting the code won't do you much good. You need to remove the Initialize code from Attributes, and the index number provided not only doesn't match what's in Attribute, but will clash with the index numbers of the existing eval scripts for Trait. I personally set it as index 1, and then renumbered the others accordingly. Adding trtDisplay is simple. "Calc trtDisplay" just requires you to again fix the eval index numbers. As has been noted by others, this does not, as it states, cause the Basic tab to display the correct value. In fact, since we aren't using trtDisplay anywhere, this change does nothing just yet, but by the end, of section, we'll have it displaying in most places, at least. The "Bonuses and Penalties" section has one minor pitfall for people who are just copying and pasting code. The text instructs you to create trtRoll and trtNoStack without giving code for it, although that should be fairly trivial, as with the following: Code:
<field id="trtRoll" name="Roll Adjustment" type="derived"> </field> <field id="trtNoStack" name="Non-stacking Adjustment" type="derived"> </field> Last edited by Duggan; December 9th, 2018 at 06:52 PM. |

Well dang it... I was going to try to segue back into this, but it looks like all of my changes are local to another computer that I may not have access to anymore.

Ah, found it. And, well, realized that I'd accidentally started with a different sample system (There's a more elaborate one present on install), so I started again. And... messed up the Initial Changes slightly by not giving it a more meaningful name, but I'm sure people will pick up on it.
Attributes Nothing fancy here. This step in the tutorial basically works right out of the box. Note that you will have to either look up the attribute information in the publicly available Savage Worlds documentation, or crib it from Lone Wolf's implementation. |
