Traipse Alpha 'OpenRPG' {100112-00} Traipse is a distribution of OpenRPG that is designed to be easy to setup and go. Traipse also makes it easy for developers to work on code without fear of sacrifice. 'Ornery-Orc' continues the trend of 'Grumpy' and adds fixes to the code. 'Ornery-Orc's main goal is to offer more advanced features and enhance the productivity of the user. Update Summary (Keeping up with Beta) New Features: Added Bookmarks Added 'boot' command to remote admin Added confirmation window for sent nodes Minor changes to allow for portability to an OpenSUSE linux OS Miniatures Layer pop up box allows users to turn off Mini labels, from FlexiRPG Zoom Mouse plugin added Images added to Plugin UI Switching to Element Tree Map efficiency, from FlexiRPG Added Status Bar to Update Manager New TrueDebug Class in orpg_log (See documentation for usage) Portable Mercurial Tip of the Day added, from Core and community New Reference Syntax added for custom PC sheets New Child Reference for gametree New Parent Reference for gametree New Gametree Recursion method, mapping, context sensitivity, and effeciency.. New Features node with bonus nodes and Node Referencing help added Dieroller structure from Core Added 7th Sea die roller method; ie [7k3] = [7d10.takeHighest(3).open(10)] New 'Mythos' System die roller added Added new vs. die roller method for WoD; ie [3v3] = [3d10.vs(3)]. Includes support for Mythos roller New EZ_Tree Reference system. Push a button, Traipse the tree, get a reference (Alpha!!) Fixes: Fix to Text based Server Fix to Remote Admin Commands Fix to Pretty Print, from Core Fix to Splitter Nodes not being created Fix to massive amounts of images loading, from Core Fix to Map from gametree not showing to all clients Fix to gametree about menus Fix to Password Manager check on startup Fix to PC Sheets from tool nodes. They now use the tabber_panel Fixed Whiteboard ID to prevent random line or text deleting. Modified ID's to prevent non updated clients from ruining the fix. default_manifest.xml renamed to default_upmana.xml Fix to Update Manager; cleaner clode for saved repositories Fixes made to Settings Panel and no reactive settings when Ok is pressed Fixes to Alternity roller's attack roll. Uses a simple Tuple instead of a Splice Fix to Use panel of Forms and Tabbers. Now longer enters design mode

-The referencing system is an update to the Core of how the Game Tree works.  In it's current state I understand the syntax is difficult to pick up. Here are some tips to help you grasp the syntax further
-
-A.
-Think of the Game Tree has a folder on your hard drive. Each :: inside the reference syntax works just like a system separator (/ or \)
-
-B.
-Root References start at the tree itself. If the node being referenced changes location the reference will be invalid.
-
-C.
-Child References work at the location of the node containing the reference. 
-
-Example: 
-Game Tree
-- Group
--- Text Node
---- Group_2
----- Text Node_2
-
-In the above Tree example you can reference Text Node_2 with a root reference
-
-!@Group::Group_2::Text Node_2@!
-
-or you can use a Child Reference from within Text Node
-
-!!Group_2::Text Node_2!!
-
-D.
-Parent References work with the Tree Map. Currently Parent References work only when called from a node that has been referenced with a Child Reference. 
-
-This is a bug in the system and is created because the Game Tree currently does not contain a Tree Map. So when you Reference a node using a Root Reference it does not pass a Tree Map for the Parent Reference to look at.
-
-Using the above example, you could reference Text Node from Text Node_2 with the syntax: !#Group::Text Node#! .. but only if you referenced Text Node with the Child Reference.
-
-(That last one is hard to understand, I know. )
-
-The reference system is still a bit primitive in it's implementation.  As I was saying it is an advancement to the Core technology of Traipse OpenRPG.
-
-While it is confusing at first, the model is far superior to other tree referencing systems.  Pre 1.8.0, no node could reference a Grid. The referencing system required the reference to be exact and started at the root. Also, the new model is designed to enable freedom of creation and greater control over the Game Tree.
-
-With the Traipse Game Tree GMs are enabled to reference any data from the Game Tree, no matter where it stands. Players can create fewer nodes and use more of the data with fewer nodes.
-
-Developer Note:
-The syntax is the hardest part to understand and I expect to change that in the future. The Core of a more expansive Game Tree model is designed. In Traipse you do not need to give access permissions to a node in order to reference it's entirety, which is what I see with Index and Namespace from OpenRPG Core.
-
-In the OpenRPG Core model your Game Tree has a lot more freedom, but only if you grant it, which I always felt was a design flaw. Comparably, with Traipse you can access any data on the Game Tree, no matter where the location.

+

+Root References start at the tree itself. If the node being referenced changes location the reference will be invalid.

+
+!@Group::Group_2::Text Node_2@!
+
+or you can use a Child Reference from within Text Node
+
+!!Group_2::Text Node_2!!
+
+D.
+Parent References work with the Tree Map. Unlike Child references that look only at the current nodes location, Parent References are allowed to travel backwards in the gametree. 
+
+Using the above example, you could reference Text Node from Text Node_2 with the syntax: !#Group::Text Node#!
+
+Parent References have a special power in that they need only a certain amount of data for the software to understand them. In the above example you could reference Text Node_3 from Text Node_2 with only this syntax !#Group_3::Text Node_3#!
+
+The reference system is still a bit primitive in it's implementation.  As I was saying it is an advancement to the Core technology of Traipse OpenRPG.

+
+EZ_Tree (One Touch Reference):
+(ALPHA!)
+The new EZ_Tree System will help benefit users who do not understand the syntax, nor care to learn.
+
+The EZ_Tree System works from within Lists, Texts, and Grids. In the Design Panel you can push the Reference button and navigate the small gametree that pops up to the node you want. Double click that node and the software will create the most efficient node reference for you.
+
+(ALPHA!) In it's Alpha state, Grids will not work completely. You can reference a grid, but you must add teh cell reference. That is not a design flaw, but a restriction of time constraints.
+
+Developer Note:
+The syntax is the hardest part to understand and I expect to change that in the future. The Core of a more expansive Game Tree model is designed. In Traipse you do not need to give access permissions to a node in order to reference it's entirety, which is what I see with Index and Namespace from OpenRPG Core.
+
+In the OpenRPG Core model your Game Tree has a lot more freedom, but only if you grant it, which I always felt was a design flaw. Comparably, with Traipse you can access any data on the Game Tree, no matter where the location.
+
 This freedom will help with future design and I feel it also frees up the hands of the GM who does not need to Index, un-Index, Namespace, un-Namspace the various creatures he or she may have in a Game Tree.</text>

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.
-

The Game Tree mapping is a fluid map that changes with the location of your nodes.  This allows you to create a reference node that will stay with your character sheet, and if you change the location of your character sheet the reference will still work.
-
-(Note: Renaming your node causes problems with the tree mapping until you restart the software. You can just move the node and the software will reset the Game Tree map)
-
-Reference Types:
-  There are three ways of references node data. A Root Reference, a Child Reference, and a Parent Reference.
-
-Root Reference: 
-  A node reference that starts at the Game Tree. The location of the node must be exact or you will return an Invalid Reference!
-
-A Root Reference uses this syntax:
-!@Node::Child::Data@!
-
-Child Reference: 
-  A node reference syntax that starts by looking at within the current container node. As long as the Child Reference is in the same container as the node, the container can change location and the reference will not be damaged. Child References work from within a PC Sheet node as well.
-
-A Child Reference uses this syntax:
-!!Node::Child::Data!!
-
-Parent Reference:
-  A node reference syntax that starts by looking at the tree map and the reference used, then makes an addendum to the node's map to create a reference.  The Parent Node is used when you want to reference the data in a node that is within a different container. Currently Parent References only work if they are used as a reference within a node.
-
-A Parent Reference uses this syntax:
-!#Node::Child::Data#!
-
-Syntax for Special PC Sheet Nodes:
-  The nodes for the specialized PC Sheets now have a new syntax.
-
-Skills, Saves, and Abilities:
-  Skills, Saves, and Abilities all have a similar referencing syntax.  You can return the base value of each by using the correct syntax.
-
-Examples:
-!@Jonethan::Skill::Jump@! (Returns Jump ranks)
-!@Mikael::Strength@! (Returns Ability Score and Mod)
-!@Draj::Will@! (Returns Will Save and Mod)
-
-(Saves and Abilities have a short hand and a long hand. Abilities can use the three letter abbreviation, while saves short hand are Fort, Ref, and Will)
-
-  You can append Check to check each of these against a 1d20 roll, or you can append Mod to discover the Modifier. The Mod can be useful in other nodes
-
-Combat:
-  You can now reference your attacks easily with the Game Tree.  Using the Attack syntax you can select modifier type, and a weapon to attack with.
-Example: !@Kammen-Pai::Attack::M::Dagger@!
-
-Modifier Type:
-  There are two modifier types Melee (M) or Ranged (R) You will see I added can use the long word or the short hand.
-
-Powers, Spells and Feats:
-  Power, Spells and Feats are hard to sometimes hard to remember, and even harder to code.  The use of the Power, Spell or Feat syntax serves as an emote of what you are doing, as well as a reminder of what your Power, Spell, or Feat does.
