Cgeist7 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) New feature: you can now add NPCs, creatures, demons and other strangeness to the RQ app without needing to go through full character creation. Just enter the stats, passions, runes, skills, attacks that you need, chose a body type and you're ready to go. Once signed in, you can add creatures & NPCs under the Add Content navigation menu. This is a single page form, so it takes a bit, but once a monster or NPC is entered once, if it's made open, anyone can copy it and update as required. This means that you can now add mounts, spirit animals, elementals, etc. Once added, they show up and can be updated just like any other character. This is a new feature, so there are probably some bugs. The ones I know about: No way to update the unique attacks added Need to update view to show powers Need to add other hit location maps (a bunch are already there - hopefully the most common) Can't have stats of 0 yet (so spirits & elementals can be given a 3 in stats they don't need) You can find creatures using the search on the main index page. I'll create a database query as well in the next wee bit.

Cgeist7 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Finished up work on showing Powers - whether natural, from geases or heroquests, they can be added in the Magic panel. I also added the Duplicate function, which allows you to copy any of your own characters (but remember you can already copy any Open characters into your roster). This should be especially cool & a crazy time-saver for things like horses or NPC. Yeah, they are all Peltasts, but the captain (copy, modify) is a bad-ass.

Chekmx Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Found an issue. I created a new adventurer. I then attempted to change that adventurers magic by clicking on the magic button. This lead to an error page The link is https://rq-web.herokuapp.com/edit_magic/2788 and the NPC is https://rq-web.herokuapp.com/view_character/2788. I tried to raise a ticket in trello but was still unable to do so. Edited June 3, 2019 by Chekmx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi @Chekmx - sorry about that. I can see the problem and should have the bug fixed in an hour or so (on the bus now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi @Chekmx - Update done and I've confirmed that it's working as intended. I'll check out the Trello as well. Cheers! C 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cgeist7 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 I made a few more updates based on my personal experience and user requests. 1st, Factions now have the summary view of characters that was in the Encounter view. It has been super useful to me in running RQiG to have my NPCs info in one place and Factions now gets to that outcome faster. Example here: http://rq-web.herokuapp.com/view_faction/christopherallison-queens-spears 2nd, one of my players wanted to have all of the base & unimproved skills as part of their character. All basic skills will now be added to each NEW character and the view character page now has another skills tab for Base skills and they are automatically added to the modify character screen. Example here (who also happens to be a vampire): http://rq-web.herokuapp.com/view_character/2864 Enjoy! C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Quick update here. The app now sorts characters from the newest to the oldest. I also added a bunch of new hit locations models to the add creature function. Now included: Beetles Birds (running, flying) Centaurs Dragons/Manticore Humanoids (normal, winged) Four-legged animals (normal, winged) Mammoths/Mastodons Serpents (normal, winged) Giant Spiders Wyverns Finally, I started working on social sharing (Twitter cards, etc), but need to do some more work to figure out the details. Cheers! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Adding the last tutorial video: how to create creatures & NPCs. All videos also added to the original post for new folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalazarLightson Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Since more Runes are available in published materials now, are you planning on allowing folk to add in more runes? Also, can we add in the ability to worship more than one god. Edited June 16, 2019 by BalazarLightson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hi @BalazarLightson - the additional runes and ability to worship multiple gods are already in place. Once you've created your character, just select the edit button to update runes or add new ones or the magic button to add powers from heroquests, magic and new cults.

Cgeist7 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Also some cool news: the RQ app is moving to a new domain: www.cradleofheroes.net (live now) - I'll be updating the app soon with the new name, but if anyone is a graphic designer and wants to help with some cool logo, please let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Just a note that the domain change broke the Google sign-in for a few hours. Everything should be fixed now and work properly from www.cradleofheroes.net. Edited June 18, 2019 by Cgeist7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonsnail Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Would it be possible to show a characters strongest rune(s) as an image instead of the default "hand against the glass image" if no image is added? Or maybe show runes below in the short description. It would give a quick hint on how the character is disposed. This is a great application. Big thanks!

Question: would it be useful to be able to search by rune as well? As in, “I want all Fire rune aspected characters.” Also, what range of runes would be interested - just Elemental? Highest wherever it is? I want to make sure I understand the use cases before I start work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it would be possile to display the runes sized by rating and automatically tesselated, if your tool set has a treemap or bubble cloud library that can handle images.

I like how non-player characters descriptions in Heroquest books often was listed with their main runes, so it came from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch more small updates made: Stats are now correctly sorted (I think someone asked for this) unusable fields in other people's characters are now disabled Now tracking the ranked top 3 runes for each character Displaying up to 3 top runes on character cards Slight language changes around searching Added area for special weapon/attack effects (currently only for creatures) Default rune images still to come @Dragonsnail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this meets your objectives. I also made some updates to make the main page a bit more orderly. Cheers! C 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cgeist7 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi all, It's not what I'd call core functionality, but I made the following updates: when you are creating or editing a character, changing statistics now shows live changes to attributes (damage bonus, SR, MP, HP, etc) and Skill Category modifiers (Agility, Communications, etc.) Same attribute functionality for creating an NPC or creature (they don't user Skill Category mods for initial creation). In character creation, Rune bonuses are added and update live from the roll stats screen Lots of small quality of life changes I'll do a little video to show this in action tomorrow. Cheers!
