Fantasy BRP Treasure Generator 1

Thinking about redoing this. Any suggestions? 

Hey Chris,

(A day late and a dollar short commenting on this file, but here goes)

I've got a tiny bit of experience with Inspiration Pad, but I'm definitely no expert. I was wondering if you also get errors with the generated scrolls and spellbooks? If you look in the console, this is the typical error generated: "Missing Table: nscrollspells." (where n is a random number) I've tried messing around with some variable names in tables further in the file, but no luck getting things to work.

Also if you really are wanting to redo it, I'm thinking that the treasure amounts generated seem pretty astoundingly high. I'm sort of assuming you got the values from page 264 of Mythras: Classic Fantasy. I edited them down to reflect book prices in my personal version, but if you want an "official" version up here it might be helpful for people who aren't comfortable editing NBOS .ipt files/code.

Thanks for doing the work you did, it's huge undertaking writing up that much code and it makes a nice base to edit from.

Cheers

I use an extended version of the RQ2 Treasure Generator, but with RQ3-style enchantments, different types of scrolls and so on. It produces a Plunder-style set of items, or at least it did when I last used it. However, it's written in Progress and I could well have lost the code.

NBOS has a funny way of messing itself up. I cant say I've had any trouble with my copy but it may be updated. I'll take a look in a bit and fix if needed. Thanks for heads up

@tooley1chris Thanks for the reply, and it's no big hurry. As I said I've mostly hacked the thing to bits at this point to make it fit my upcoming campaign, but after some more tinkering I did manage to get scrolls to populate, but it just doesn't seem to work with spellbooks. I'll take another stab at it this weekend.

OK I think the file may have gotten messed up transferring from a DOC to IPT file. Here is a dropbox link that should work fine.

@tooley1chris Just a quick question/suggestion: Maybe you're already familiar with it, but have you ever tried Notepad++? If you do any amount of serious coding, it's a very handy plain text editor that recognizes dozens of coding languages. I've used it for writing javascript in the past and it's a real life saver. There's also tons of plugins

EDIT: Just tested it and things seem to be working fine. Thanks for uploading that.
