Re: [pcgen] 3x Pathfinder Tengu weirdness in 06.06.01 RC5. and line feeds?

 

Hi,

Just for your knowledge, this group isn't about solving homebrewed / language translation issues. This would be better post on the ListFileHelp group we have. That said, I'll answer it here, but please do any follow up on the proper group.

#1: That's because two versions of Low-Light Vision are being set. Use BONUS:VAR|HasLowLightVision|-1 that should correct your issue. If you open the troubleshooting sheet, you'd see you have two Low-Light Vision abilities, one listed from the Core Essentials IIRC.

#2: Tengu is using Tengu ~ Sneaky, you're altering the wrong ability. (Open up your troubleshooting.htm.ftl sheet and look at the abilities granted, Tengu is a B1 race, which is where that ability is located. The race builder abilities are not used on properly coded races, those are exclusively the domain of user built races.

#3: Shared ability is being called, the rogue version is NEVER displayed. CATEGORY=Special Ability|Danger Sense.MOD is what you want. (Core Rules). There are a few shared abilities, if you looked at the Unchained Rogue ability, you'd see it called Danger Sense directly. Another clue, VISIBLE:NO or VISIBLE:DISPLAY means this is not sent to the output sheet. A little more indepth, CATEGORY:Special Ability without SpecialQuality, SpecialAttack, or the like, will not appear on the output sheet.

#4: This won't port over once we do INFO, but DESC:&nl; Text here, will do a new line, and indented IIRC. <tab> DESC:&nl;Another new line...

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,
I tend to translate my character data into German language using the homebrew files and .MOD for their DESC/BENEFIT tags. This works nicely most of the time. No I encountered some weird behaviour on a Tengu (Advanced Race Guide).

#1:
When trying to translate "low light vision" i read on the output sheet that it seems to be drawn from the bestiary I. So I added the following to mpc_abilities.lst:

CATEGORY=Special Ability|Tengu ~ Low-Light Vision.MOD        OUTPUTNAME:Daemmersicht (AF)        DESC:.CLEAR        DESC:Kreaturen mit Daemmersicht koennen im Schein einer Fackel, im Mondlicht, dem Licht der Sterne oder unter anderen Bedingungen, in denen daemmriges Licht herrscht, doppelt soweit wie ein Mensch sehen. Sie koennen auch unter diesen Lichtbedingungen Farben und Details voneinander unterscheiden.        BENEFIT:.CLEAR


For some weird reason now BOTH the original english text and my translated text appear as complete entries on the output sheet. I have no idea why and how to fix this.


#2

Tengus have a racial trait called "sneaky" which the output sheets correctly refers to the ARG source. But I couldnt find sneaky in any list file other than the arg_abilities_builder.lst. I did put the following code into the
mpc_abilities.lst:


CATEGORY=Special Ability|Builder Racial Trait ~ Sneaky.MOD        OUTPUTNAME:Hinterhaeltig        DESC:.CLEAR        DESC:Tengus erhalten einen Volksbonus von +2 auf Heimlichkeit und Wahrnehmung.        BENEFIT:.CLEAR


This one now is being completely ignored and the original english text stays untouched.


  #3

My Tengu is an unchained rogue with the class feature "danger sense". I did put the following code into the
mpc_abilities.lst:


CATEGORY=Special Ability|Unchained Rogue ~ Danger Sense.MOD        OUTPUTNAME:Gefahreninstinkt (AF)        DESC:.CLEAR        DESC:Ab der 3. Stufe erhaelt der Schurke einen Bonus von +1 auf seine Reflexwuerfe, um Fallen auszuweichen, und einen Ausweichbonus von +1 auf seine Ruestungsklasse gegen Angriffe von Fallen. Ferner erhaelt er einen Bonus von +1 auf Fertigkeitswuerfe fuer Wahrnehmung, um nicht von Gegnern ueberrascht zu werden. Diese Boni steigen alle weiteren 3 Stufen als Schurke um 1 (maximal +6 mit der 18. Stufe). Diese Faehigkeit zaehlt hinsichtlich der Voraussetzungen von Talenten und Klassenvoraussetzungen als Fallengespuer und kann durch jedes Klassenmerkmal eines Archetypen ersetzt werden, welches Fallengespuer ersetzt. Die durch diese Faehigkeit erlangten Boni sind mit den durch Fallengespuer erlangten Boni kumulativ, sofern der Charakter durch eine andere Klasse ueber die Faehigkeit Fallengespuer verfuegt.


Again this one is being completely ignored and the original english text stays untouched. I have no idea why.


Anyone with any ideas what I could have made wrong here?

I successfully translated lots of other Tengu und unchained Rogue special abilities using the same technique.


#4

Is there any way to enter a line feed / carriage return code in long descriptions for output sheets?
