Hi, Thanks for great work. It look really amazing. I dont know if this is the right place for ask for more option.

Can you make weapon item able to drag-n-drop to macro bar and also able to drag to weapon compendium? It would be alot faster for player to click on macro bar(and skill too for example dodge). Thx.

Hello HavlockV. I'm trying to translate your wonderful game system into Japanese.
In that process, I found an error in the automatic calculation of MOV.

As stated on page 33 of the rulebook, if STR=DEX=SIZ, the Mov is 8.
So I'd like to ask you to fix the following code, is that ok?

Code:
https://github.com/HavlockV/CoC7-FoundryVTT/blob/3fbae14bb8212bad4c1979a7888a9def1fd2ca74/module/actors/actor.js#L466-L468
suggestion ( Dex > Siz && Str >Siz):

468 : if( this.data.data.characteristics.dex.value > this.data.data.characteristics.siz.value && this.data.data.characteristics.str.value > this.data.data.characteristics.siz.value) MOV = 9; 

Let me ask another question.
Do the following mean "Major Wound" (in the rulebook p.120)?
https://github.com/HavlockV/CoC7-FoundryVTT/blob/3fbae14bb8212bad4c1979a7888a9def1fd2ca74/templates/actors/character-sheet.html#L114

And may I send you a pull request of the Japanese translation data (ja.json)?

I look forward to your reply.

Not sure if you intended to remove EDU from creature and removed POW instead?

The right json is:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HavlockV/CoC7-FoundryVTT/develop/system.json

The one at the README.rd file has a typo ('D' for Develop in capital letters).

Some skills only come into play on specific era's, for instance computers would only be applicable in modern. It would be nice to have a tag to differentiate between skills for different era's. (1920's, Modern, Invictus, Down Darker Trails, Dark Ages)

In order to accomodate Pulp cthulhu, any way to have an override toggle for calculated fields? (notably the HP max can't be changed..always reverts to the calculated value)

Right now if you have a big description in a skill's description field and you press to view details in the character sheet, it will present it inline on the skill list distorting the skill list.

I think a better presentation would be triggering a popup of the actual skill item.

Range are always:
base
base2
base4

So I would autocalc range values.

Now when I set a weapon range to 15 and leave the other fields empty, those fields are set to zero and cause the combat assistant to tell the target is out of range.

The string

"CoC7.Name": "Nombre",

does not get translated, maybe the id is not correct?

Hi HavlockV,
Spell Section for Creatures
as an idea, would it be possible to add the Spell Section you have for Characters, to Creatures/Monsters as well?
Right now i'm adding them into the "notes" section.

Pop out for Weapon/Attack descriptions
taking the Ghoul as an example creature. it has a "bite and hold (mnvr)", which i put into its combat section.
To see the description of the actual maneuver i have to either click and look at the chat or i have to unlock the sheet and click the edit and the description button.
Would it be possible to have a dice and an info icon next to the attack names?
dice = roll to attack, info = open attack sheet (deadly claws, bite and hold and so on...)

And again thanks for the awesome work you are doing!

• Philip

• Die roll in chat: "1 tens dice" instead of "1 tens die".
• Display problems with resized NPC with minimum width

Last update : 2020/06/17

Translation should be Penalty Die instead of Malus Die

To reproduce:

I'm at dev 0.3.8
Character rolls Fighting Brawl, success.
Creature Figthsback, failure.
Character click to roll damage, then the following error is shown:

If the gm rolls character damage, no error occurs. I think that since the creature fightsback, the system thinks the damage is done by the creature and doesnt allow the character to roll damage. Not sure.

So I trigger a sanity loss from a creature I control, targeting a player, sanity check message appears in chat, but when my player clicks on it, gets the following message: Uncaught (in promise) Error: User Cazz lacks permission to update ChatMessage CKXDpweLbym0pGwA
at Function._onUpdate

Player has Owner permission of the actor that I am targetting

Just used your system for the first session last night and everyone was quite impressed!

One thing that we did note, however, is that the roll types (ie. Private GM, Blind GM & Self rolls) weren't functioning if we made any rolls directly from the character sheets or NPC sheets (didn't test the creature sheet). All rolls that were made showed up as public even if one of the other options were selected.

When you spend luck to achieve a degree of success the number that is reported as spent is wrong, even though the number that gets deducted from the actor is correct.

Templates specifically for Mythos Creatures/Monsters/Entities that can have a Sanity Loss field for viewing them.

On Linux, running Foundry Vtt 0.6.6 and CoC7 version 0.3.9, with no active modules.

1. Put token on scene
2. Double-click token to get character sheet
3. Click Spot Hidden to roll it (give double bonus dice to ensure success)
4. Success indicated in the chat screen
5. Development flag not toggled for skill

I can double-click on the the development flag, and it does toggle on.

I did have multiple modules live through the lifetime of this character, so it's possible one, or more of them, changed the character in such a way to cause an issue.

fvtt-Actor-Ameila_Meadowcroft.txt

First of all, I discovered this today and I'm so excited to finally be able to move my CoC7 games to foundry. I had actually just finished writing a super trashy implementation with simple world building and a pile of macros, so I'm happy to see that go to an early grave.

One thing I've noticed so far is that using this system when making a roll the player selects the intended success level. However I always thought the intended way was for the player to roll, inform the keeper of what level of success they achieved and let the keeper narrate based on their level of success, it also helps keep a little bit of mystery and danger to pushing rolls when you don't know exactly how hard the task is going to be.

In the hideous macros I created the output I was using was something like this.

Thanks for all your hard work so far and really looking forward to my first game using this!

Hey HavlockV,

Any chance that you'll consider adding PDFoundry Integration into your CoC7 system?

https://github.com/Djphoenix719/PDFoundry

Hi HavlockV, i only signd up on GitHub in order contribute to the great work you are doing with the CoC Foundry System!
I just got into CoC and i was really happy to see, that someone is working on a proper FVTT system for it.
Thank you for that, because i have zero programming skills.

my specs:
macbook pro, FVTT 0.6.6, CoC 0.3.3
Issue:
the creature token display bars for HP and Luck don't work correctly (see attached screenshot). The token for the Characters is working though.

I have no expectations of having perfect compatibility with any third party modules, but this is a behavior I ran into that I thought you might want to consider.I understand that having the actor portrait there is helpful to see who the attacker is targeting.

I have an image for the dodge "weapon" (as shown in the last chat card). It's just a crappy free icon but I felt as though it should be shown in this case.

My suggestion for showing the targeted actor's portrait is as shown below:

Hi HavlockV,
I’ve been looking for the hardcoded text in the html template files in order detect those strings that appear in English and are not implemented in the .json language files. Below I specify the files and lines within each file that contain harcoded text. Thank you very much for developing this system, you are doing a very good job and I hope this helps to improve it :)

Make attributes rollable (roll for DEX, STR, CON...).

HavlockV, I've been testing the combat systems and looks great! gratz!

Issues I've found so far:

1. When I make an attack, it always check "Fast", as if the target has moved more than 8 yrds.

2. When using "Multi. Shots", for example shooting 3 times with a .38, I add 3 shoots to the chat, and then it shows:
   Bullets fired: 3/8, Shots fired: 3/3
   But when I click fire, it leaves the gun empty, no more ammo, 0 bullets.
   It happens also when I click on Multi.Shots and only configure one shot.

3. Another issue related with 2: I'd add automatically all shots (max of the weapon) when clicking the skill to fire; that is, when clicking Mult.Shots, then:
   shots to add = min(remaining_bullets, max_shots_of_the_weapon)

Is this intentional?

I am not sure if ????? is a localization problem and in english it is shown "Blind roll", or "Unknown"

I've been working in the translation to spanish of the module (in my github account and in the FVTT official repository) and I've face some minor issues:

Text in settings is not available for translation:
https://i.ibb.co/z7CHBNS/screenshot-155.jpg
Text in background tab of the character sheet is not available for translation:
https://i.ibb.co/yBSQ2Fj/screenshot-154.jpg

The skills that require specialization does not have translation token: Firearms, Art & Craft, Science, Fighting:
https://i.ibb.co/NxBVVwL/screenshot-152.jpg

The Language skill does not allow specialization, not sure if there should be different Language skills, providing different languages or just leave people adding a new generic skill for every language other than her own.

Spells cannot be added to a book from compendiums.

Hello HavlockV.

I'd like to propose better flow of opposed roll in close combat.

Now in the CoC7-FoundryVTT, the attacker decides on the target first,
then the attacker rolls, then the defender see the roll results and decides on the response
(dodge, fightback or maneuver), and finally the defender rolls.

In the rule book("Combat Flow Chart", page 109), the attacker decides on the
target first, then the defender decides on the response(dodge, fightback or maneuver),
and finally both sides roll at the same time.

And if possible, it would be better if the defender's response option included "do nothing" :)

Seems that something got broken in the translation system, all gets translated except skills:

CoC7th 0.3.2, no modules loaded, language set to spanish:

https://i.ibb.co/tLMfN89/screenshot-47.jpg

For creatures, combat flow does not recognize localised "Dodge", It only allows to dodge when the creature has the "Dodge" (in english) skill.

For characters, looks like it works, recognizing the localised skill "Esquivar" (in spanish).

So, this is a small issue, because you can always manually edit HP, but when you're bulk building stuff it's an extra step that we may be able to eliminate? SO here's the issue right now. In Pulp Cthulhu not everyone gets double HP.

• Investigators get double HP
• Major Villains don't get double HP
• Normal NPC's don't get double HP
• Mythos Monsters don't get double HP
• Mooks don't get double HP

So I was thinking, maybe double HP can be a toggle per character instead of across the rules system? Not sure how feasible that is and as I said NOT a priority right now as it can be fixed by manually editing the HP, but maybe something to consider waaaaay down the line when you don't have anything else to add to the system!

I know max luck is 99, but in order to make use of the token bars, that requires current luck/max luck - current hp/max hp - currenty san/max san.

Currently if you set one of the bars to show luck, the bar is always empty since there is no max luck field.

I'd suggest, if it is possible, to implement the diagonal distance measurement; currently there is no diagonal movement restrictions:

As it works right now in the development tab ,when it's time for the development phase your players click the development button, some rolls happen behind the scenes and if successful points get added.

Now the problem with this, at least I KNOW it is for my players, is that there is hardly any player feedback and the players don't get the satisfaction of seeing their rolls.

What I suggest instead is some sort of popup shows up that lists the skills that are eligible for improvement, with their existing value, then a roll button next to each skill. Then the player can roll for that skill, see the result in chat and if eligible roll the 1d10 via a different button on popup to get the increase. Again, displaying that result in chat. I think this would make for a far better player experience!

Obviously, keep the existing system as an option for people who prefer it, not saying my proposed system is better, just a suggestion!

I teased this report a while ago, sorry it took so long!

In the above screenshot, the button allowing a "luck spend" to reduce the character's Luck roll to the target number has been correctly removed, because a Luck roll doesn't allow a luck spend. However, the hard and extreme success luck spend buttons are still here. This is an error, as no luck spend is allowed at any level of success.

cases à cocher :

• expérience de compétence
• blessure grave / inconscient / mourant
• folie passagère / permanante

In chat-cards when development:

New version of PDFoundry has support for form fillable pdf's which would be great for character sheets

Missing skills from the compendium template that are on the CoC 1920s character sheet

Archaeology (01)
Swim (20)
Throw (20)
Track (10)

Also, I'm not sure how you want to treat the general versions of the specialize-able skills. Pilot and Survival are there, but Art/Craft, Language (Other), Science, were skipped over

Hi there!
I wanted to know whether it'd be possible to adapt the system (or fork it) in order to play Cthulhu d100 - Providence. The download from the system is free: https://shadowlands.es/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/2020/06/Cthulhu-d100-Carne-quemada-PDF-4-ffdqx5.pdf
It's in spanish, though. If needed, I could help translating. In case there are no plans from your side to adapt it, would you give permission to fork your project and continue from your current work?

Best regards,
Himmelschrei

Add to the character sheet a checkbox to mark profession skills.
Add a field that shows the number of points used in total in profession skills and other skills.

Maybe show those fields and checks when editing a character sheet?
This helps a lot creating characters.

This is an optional rule that is found in the keeper's handbook page 123.

Basically you roll your dexterity and get ranked in order of initiative as follows. Critical Success -> Extreme Success -> Hard Success -> Regular Success ->Fail ->Critical Fail
If you have a readied firearm you get to roll with a bonus die. If two people tie, highest Dexterity goes first. If they have the same Dexterity, randomly decide.
I had someone write me a custom API script on Roll20 for this, that I've included here in case it is helpful.

Currently it looks very plain (which I understand, there are other priorities right now) and at times confusing for players though.

• Occupation, residence, birthplace fields are very small

• Characteristic fields expand when you stretch the sheet, making it look funny

• Weird positioning for hard/extreme values making it confusing to read. (Added a screenshot for that)
  

• No hard/extreme values displayed for skills
  *Right now if you have a big description in a skill's description field and you press to view details in the character sheet, it will present it inline on the skill list distorting the skill list. I think a better presentation would be triggering a popup of the actual skill item.

--PULP RELATED STUFF--

• Add a space for Archetype
• Add area for pulp talents
• Have a toggle in rules settings for pulp HP to autocalculate using pulp. (I know you can do this now manually, but I this way is more clean

I know it feels like I am whining, I 'm really not! A really appreciate what you have done here and I could not have done 1 1000th of it myself! Just providing some well intended feedback!

Thanks a ton for making this sheet. Really appreciate your hard work. Strength has a typo on the character sheet.

As I was looking through the template.json, there is a typo in characteristics.characteristics.str.label which shows CHARAC.Strengh instead of CHARAC.Strength.

The HP bar cannot be set properly on the token because it looks like the max HP value is not passed and the bar is not drawn.

created an 'item' called 'punch/kick'. set damage to 1d3, enabled "+DB", put on character sheet. When clicking on it to roll, only rolls 1d3 (his bonus damage is 1d4)

I create an Occupation with skill Fighting (Brawl).
If I add the Punch weapon (which uses Fighting (Brawl)) to the occupation, when creating the PC, the process ask me for the skill associated with Punch and allows me to enter again Brawl/Fighting, but base is 0.

I think it creates the skill as if it were new instead of using the one in the Skills compendium, I know it because I use icons for skills, and all the skills has the appropiate icon except the newly created Fighting (Brawl), which has the generic icon.

So better off without adding default weapons (in fact I only add "Unarmed" weapon).

Does this make sense to the process of adding skills to the character sheet?

Could we have item templates for pulp talents&archetypes and professions? Also a place in the character sheet to store pulp talents depending on the pulp level (low pulp, medium pulp, high pulp). Profession templates could also list point calculations (EDUx2 +APP x2 for instance). Maybe down the road this can be used for character creation automation?
