Great work. Did you see that a brand new SRD dropped today? It's The Age of Al-Azrad.
Hi, thanks for commenting and glad you like the tool.
I completely missed that the Al-Azrad SRD dropped, thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look an plan to add it for sure.
Cheers
Added! https://jonassoderstrom.itch.io/cthulhu-forever/devlog/1501099/07-age-of-al-azra...
Excellent. I'll let the CE people know. :)
Fantastic work! I am not entirely sure if this is a bug, but if I sacrifice Bond 1, then add resources ("+" button), then undo the sacrifice, the resources do not reset to original value. Same for the reverse. Is that intended?
Hi, glad you like the tool! Let me play around and see.
Hi.
I did a bit of testing and I believe it works as expected.
- When you Sacrifice a bond you get any invested skill points back so you can spend them elsewhere.
- When you UNDO it get recalculated to what it should be based on Resourcing/2. And you can spend more skill points on it.
- The resource value is never affected by Sacrifice bods, the only the only thing sacrificing bond value does is give you an extra skill point.
- Sacrificing Resources and Undoing that sacrifice calculates the bonds scores correctly.
It's correct that if you spend skills points on a bond, sacrifice it and undo it you'll have spend that points again. But you don't lose the skill points and the values are correctly calculated.
I believe that as long as the bond values are calculated correctly and you don't accidentally lose any skill points it works as intended.
If I misunderstood your scenario and you believe it's a bug please comment with a detailed step by step description, and I can retry.
Thanks again for commenting, it's great to get feedback.
Thanks a lot for taking so much time explroing it. I see now what you mean and that indeed this works as intended! It did not strike me but what you describe makes much sense. Thank you very much!
No worries, happy to help!
Jonas, this is fabulous, but has one issue across multiple browsers: it won't scroll down. That is, when generating characters etc., the page won't go down with the r.h. scroll bar. The only way to progress downwards is to keep hitting Tab. This happened in both Vivaldi and Chrome. Pity, because otherwise it's a fantastic tool.
Hi, glad you like the tool.
I can not recreate this behaviour. For me it scrolls fine both with scroll wheel and using the scroll bar.
Let me investigate, it could be hardware or resolution specific where your browser thinks it the site fits when it doesn't, I'll see what I can do.
Cheers Jonas
Hi again, I have pushed a fix to how scrolling works that hopefully fixes it. ( As I couldn't recreate it, it's had for me to tell, but hopefully. ) Please have a try and let me know if it works or not.
Cheers
Still getting the same problem, alas - in Chrome, Vivaldi, and MS Edge. The scroll bar just doesn't appear at the right of the page after you click Run Game, although this intro page is fine.
I'll have to investigate some more.
Update: Oh, I could recreate now! I'll try to fix.
Ok, should be fixed now.
Turn out you have to enable scrollbars in the settings for it to work.
Please try again now.
Yes, fixed. Glad it was such an easy one!
