Fantasy grounds ii gurps software#
The first rule of creating ANYTHING in terms of software is back stuff up before you touch it. Backup any file I’m opening, be it edit or read-only. Each has a specific purpose for this endeavour.įirstly, a recon run before anything changes. Taking a look at the desktop background (conspicuously named “desktop.png” in the “frames/” folder), I fire up my two image-work apps: the GIMP and Inkscape. I’m doing this completely blind, as I haven’t found any “how to make a new desktop background for Fantasy Ground II” resources handy. First step, and completely useless in the grand scheme of things: changing the desktop background in the app!
Fantasy grounds ii gurps crack#
The rulesets use Lua scripting for the object handling and XML for data storage, so it’s dead easy to crack the stuff open and mess around with the innards. So the first step – copy the d20 folder in the application’s folder and rename the new folder to “Pathfinder”. Also, it’s still in Beta testing so the licensing is probably not going to result in lawyer’s jumping on my head (or at least not as hard as a certain company which suffers from draconian Intellectual Property paranoia). It’s close enough to 3.5 that I should be able to just adapt the the material instead of doing a complete rewrite. Trying to decide out what to try, I figured I would attempt to write a ruleset for Paizo Press‘s new “D&D 3.75 edition”, Pathfinder RPG. There have been attempts at some other systems (notably for me, new World of Darkness (or nWoD) and D&D 4th Edition), but I thought I’d try my hand at building up a ruleset for myself – surely it can’t be that hard (words to die by shortly after stating)? It comes with a default d20 SRD ruleset as well as a few others (Savage Worlds, GURPS 4e, and some others). One of the more interesting facets of FG2 is the “ruleset” system – you can plug in various “rulesets”, typically unique to a role-playing system, which provide resources specific to that system. Take a look at some of Fantasy Grounds’ screenshots, and you’ll immediately see that it’s prettier than your average IRC client. As it turns out, it includes core functionality up the wazoo, but very, very little in terms of “prettiness” – which is where FG2 delivers. I’d previously experimented with OpenRPG, which I’d assumed was a good system for doing these things. I’m sort of loathe to give the class of programs a name because every name I’ve seen for them sounds wrong – but it’s a shared chatroom and multimedia interface designed to facilitate roleplaying over the Internet. So I recently acquired Fantasy Grounds II, a rather interesting shared online roleplaying program.
