Included here is a list of the additions to the Game Tree referencing model as well as some tips on how to make the Game Tree work the way it was intended. - -Grid Nodes: - Grid nodes are now reference-able with the coordinates of the grid. Example: !@Grid::(1,1)@! -The example will return the top left most cell data. The grid understands coordinates like this (Row, Column) - - Grid nodes can reference node data just like any other node can. With a new added feature grids are even more useful. By using a new die rolling syntax you can draw just the number of the modified roll. While this will not pass during game play, you can use it with the grid node to create a random chart. The new die roll syntax is [#XdY]. # works just like q, yet it returns only the modified die result. - - Here is an example with a 3 x 3 Grid -Example: !@Grid::([#1d3], [#1d3])@! - -The result will be a random event from the grid. - -Bonus Node Included: A 52 Card Deck with 4 columns and 13 rows. (4 * 13 = 52) - -List Nodes: - List nodes now have a check box that allows users to send the content as a macro. List nodes are a prime reference holder because users can place a lot of references into one small node. - - For the best results from a list node my tip to users would be to create a list node and place it next to the character sheet they are using, inside a the PC Sheet. The list will then use the Child Referencing syntax, but the PC Sheet can go anywhere in the tree and the player will have easy access to all the references. - -(List Nodes inside a Tool created PC sheet vanish when moved, or I would recommend the list be placed inside these sheets also.) - - Here is an example of a Fortitude save inside the recommended list node: !!Fort::Check!! - -Text Nodes: - Text nodes remain little changed. I agree with all the 1.7.1 users who tell me, if it's not broke don't fix it. With that in mind I have some good tips for text nodes. - - Text nodes can be used in conjunction with the new grid features to create random encounters. A GM could place a list of text nodes into a folder and the grid could reference the nodes. - - Text nodes also work great when you need to have story text at hand that you don't want to type out during play. Create chapters with folder nodes and add the adventure text to different nodes. You can then use a List Node or a Grid Node to reference the different chapters. - -Bonus Node Included: A small book node with 1 Chapter and 3 Parts.</text></nodehandler><nodehandler class="textctrl_handler" frame="400,400,393,95" icon="note" map="Traipse OpenRPG::User Manual::Game Tree" module="forms" name="Node Referencing" version="1.0"><text hide_title="0" multiline="1" raw_mode="0" send_button="0"> Traipse node referencing is unlike other distributions of OpenRPG.

Included here is a list of the additions to the Game Tree referencing model as well as some tips on how to make the Game Tree work the way it was intended. + +Grid Nodes: + Grid nodes are now reference-able with the coordinates of the grid. Example: !@Grid::(1,1)@! +The example will return the top left most cell data. The grid understands coordinates like this (Row, Column) + + Grid nodes can reference node data just like any other node can. With a new added feature grids are even more useful. By using a new die rolling syntax you can draw just the number of the modified roll. While this will not pass during game play, you can use it with the grid node to create a random chart. The new die roll syntax is [#XdY]. # works just like q, yet it returns only the modified die result. + + Here is an example with a 3 x 3 Grid +Example: !@Grid::([#1d3], [#1d3])@! + +The result will be a random event from the grid. + +Bonus Node Included: A 52 Card Deck with 4 columns and 13 rows. (4 * 13 = 52) + +List Nodes: + List nodes now have a check box that allows users to send the content as a macro. List nodes are a prime reference holder because users can place a lot of references into one small node. + + For the best results from a list node my tip to users would be to create a list node and place it next to the character sheet they are using, inside a the PC Sheet. The list will then use the Child Referencing syntax, but the PC Sheet can go anywhere in the tree and the player will have easy access to all the references. + +(List Nodes inside a Tool created PC sheet vanish when moved, or I would recommend the list be placed inside these sheets also.) + + Here is an example of a Fortitude save inside the recommended list node: !!Fort::Check!! + +Text Nodes: + Text nodes remain little changed. I agree with all the 1.7.1 users who tell me, if it's not broke don't fix it. With that in mind I have some good tips for text nodes. + + Text nodes can be used in conjunction with the new grid features to create random encounters. A GM could place a list of text nodes into a folder and the grid could reference the nodes. + + Text nodes also work great when you need to have story text at hand that you don't want to type out during play. Create chapters with folder nodes and add the adventure text to different nodes. You can then use a List Node or a Grid Node to reference the different chapters. + +Bonus Node Included: A small book node with 1 Chapter and 3 Parts.</text> + </nodehandler> + </nodehandler></nodehandler> + <nodehandler class="tabber_handler" icon="labtop" map="Traipse OpenRPG::User Manual" module="containers" name="The Server" version="1.0"> + <nodehandler class="textctrl_handler" frame="400,400,310,82" icon="note" map="Traipse OpenRPG::User Manual::The Server" module="forms" name="Setting up a Server" version="1.0"> + <text hide_title="0" multiline="1" raw_mode="0" send_button="0">In Traipse starting a server has never been easier.
