Thanks very much! Please let me know if you find any bugs with it. I struggle to find time to develop the plugin (and fix some minor bugs I know exist) but it’ll happen eventually.

I’ve never played the game. If the character generation and stats/skills are different enough from V:tM, you might end up completely re-writing more than you keep.

If I’d known what I know now about PHP and SQL, and hadn’t inherited the initial code from another user, I might had written it in a way that would be easier to convert for other systems, but at the moment it is very tied to V:tM.

Good luck with the updates,

Magent

Hi Wargames,

Thanks very much for asking my permission and it would be great if you could credit or otherwise link to this plugin. Also, if you spot any bugs (and how you fixed them) then I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Regards,

Hi,

What are the errors?

Thanks,

Hi,

This shortcode will give you a list of all users currently active and located in the default domain. There is more info on the options here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/vampire-character/#description

[background_table level=displayzeros columns=”character,clan,office”]

I’ve used the “Quick Chat” plugin by Marko Martinovi? for chat rooms. It’s a bit clunky but it saves chat logs and you don’t need to register for an external site.

Well, if you have ‘gd’ then you should have the extra character sheet skinning options and therefore be able to set the divider colours, width, etc. for the PDF character sheet.

To debug further, I’ll need a screenshot or PDF of:
* an example character sheet of what you do get
* the options in the “Skinning” tab of the “Configuration” page

ps. yes, I got your email and am about to reply

1) Yes, you can use multiple shortcodes on the same page.
2) I mention other plugins I’ve used for wordpress for out larp page here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/vampire-character/#faq
3) If you want to log in as a character and see all their data as that character then it is one character per wordpress login. However, if you are logged in as an admin then you can still see all the characters data from the “Character Admin” page by clicking on the icons without specifically associating that character with a wordpress account. You can also set all the NPCs to be associated with a single player.

The difference is in what data is there. The files in the INIT folder have the absolute minimum amount of data in them, whereas the github files have everything I’ve entered from the V20 sourcebooks.

I haven’t had a look at 5th edition yet but I’m sure I will at some point ?? I’ve been playing Vampire for so long I want to make sure I’m open minded when I read it ??

Yes, please post any issues you have on here. It’s tough to find time to work on the plugin but I’ve got a load of things I want to update. You can see my full To Do list here: https://plugin.gvlarp.com/issue-tracker

ps, I love Brujah

Hi Kamaji,

Oh wow, that’s cool ??

I’ve got some work to do on the plugin code to properly support translations but when it’s done I’ll definitely provide you with POT files. I’ve added your request to my Issue Tracker so it won’t get forgotten – even though it might take time for me to get back to working on it.

However, you could translate the initial data (e.g. skill names, discipline names) by downloading it from github and updating the CSV tables. I could then add it to the github repository for other people to download.

https://github.com/mieow/vampire-data

Which language do you want to translate it into?

I recommend contacting your web hosting company and asking them to install or set up for you either Imagick or ‘gd’ as they need installed into PHP; it isn’t a plugin or anything you can tack on to WordPress ??

https://libgd.github.io/pages/downloads.html

It would also be good if you could post the above screenshots I requested. There might be some other things I can suggest you try depending on what they look like.

Could you send me a screenshot or PDF of:
* an example character sheet of what you do get
* the options in the “Skinning” tab of the “Configuration” page

It might be that your site doesn’t have the image manipulation PHP packages required for the full skinning options.

It reported that the version was the latest so I re-uploaded the plugin and the error went away.

Looks like something must have failed during the plugin update process. I don’t recall any error messages, however.

In the file: inc/portrait_image.php

Remove lines:

               elseif(!file_exists($file)) {
                       $file = VTM_PLUGIN_URL . "/$file";
                       //if(!file_exists($file)) {
                       //      echo "<p>Problem finding file: $file</p>";
                       //}

And replace with:

               elseif (filter_var($file, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) === FALSE) {
                       if(!file_exists($file)) {
                               $file = VTM_PLUGIN_URL . "/$file";
                               if(!file_exists($file)) {
                                       echo "<p>Problem finding file: $file</p>";
                               }
                       }
                }

Yes, the change will also apply to necromancy paths. In the character generation templates, you’ll be able to set which is the default path for each discipline (and vary that according to clan, if you want). You’ll also be able to set if you want to allow players to change the default path during character generation.

It’s a pretty complicated function so it’ll take a while before it’s ready. It’ll definitely be in the next version. I played a Tremere relatively recently so it was bugging me how the Primary path doesn’t really match the rules. ??

Thanks for the link ??

Yes, this is the best place to post issues. It’s the first place other users are likely to look if they also have a problem and now that I know that gmail is filing the emails with the post notifications under ‘Social’ I won’t miss posts.

I worked out the issue with the profile images today and have coded a fix so it’ll definitely be in the next version. If you are confident editing PHP (which I suspect you are) I can post the change?
