Has Anyone committed to making GCS Files

[Stone Dog]

Oh right, sorry. I forgot GCS exists. I only learned about it recently.

Side question though, for the encumbrance in GCS, is there a way to organize things by what container they are in so you can tell at a glance how much weight you'll drop if you shed a sack or backpack? It didn't seem like it did when I was poking at it.

yep, that is pretty interesting. You just make an Equipment container and call it Backpack (or whatever), say what its weight capacity it, and then put items in that container.

If you look at the datafiles for the low tech there are actually some premade containers. though admittedly bigger ones it might help you in the design.

Yeah, most of the changes aren't revolutionary... spells are pretty much copy and paste with a handful of changes; sometimes a prereq changes. I figure if going into the equipment bits, a lot of it is modeled on the Low Tech equipment, so it's again probably copying the lists and changing the page references around mostly.

The big annoying thing is changing the page references on all of them.

Bumping this thread to check progress. I have checked in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG spell list and am trying to find out what is the next thing to work on.

Please do not bump threads, it is against the forum rules. It is acceptable if you include a suitable addition to the conversation however.

Thank you.

I use GURPS Character Sheet all the time, and I've developed a technique for sorting gear. I create a container called "All Equipment." As the name implies, everything goes in that container. The first item in the "All Equipment" container is another container called "Combat Load." That one holds all the stuff I carry in a fight (including potions in a potion belt and so on). Everything else goes into a backpack. The "All Equipment" container gives me the weight of everything. The "Combat Load" container gives me the weight of my combat gear. Then I toggle the Backpack on or off to adjust my dodge and skills that are affected by encumbrance.

The trick is to use virtual containers. Not all containers have to be backpacks and such.

I've got all the skills done, and all the spells done. I think I'll be working on the traits next unless anyone wants to take that one.

Just made a huge commit and pull request containing the majority of skills, advantages, disadvantages, and professional templates.

The last thing needed is equipment.

Good job Pseudonym. Looks like you got most of the gcs files done. Looks like Barbarian gave you as much problem as it gave me -- I have a Barbarian.gct (based on the DF Barbarian.gct) that's fairly complete but doesn't work.
