Dotcount

Credit

This plugin was coded by Ren @ AresCentral, inspired by a similar command that existed on Gray Harbor.

Overview

For games using FS3, the Dotcount command allows a player to monitor the status of their stats with respect to the game's cap for Attributes and Action Skills. For example:

+--- O~~m -------------------------------------------------------------------+
Total dots on Ren's sheet:
     Attributes...........15 / 20
     Action Skills........55 / 60
     Current XP............4 / 10
+------------------------------------------------------------------- O~~m ---+

or

+--- O~~m -------------------------------------------------------------------+
Total dots on Ren's sheet:
     Attributes...........15 / 19
     Action Skills........55 / 60
     Current XP............4 / 10

An Attribute at Poor lowers the Attribute cap by 1.
+------------------------------------------------------------------- O~~m ---+

Web Portal

To show this information on the web profile, some manual editing is necessary. Please see the 'Installation' section for details.

Installation

1. In the game, run plugin/install https://github.com/SerendipityJones/ares-dotcount-plugin.

If you only want this for client users, you can stop there. To add it to the bottom of the XP tab on character profiles:

2. Edit aresmush/plugins/profile/custom_char_fields.rb (you can do this from the web portal's custom code area) to add dotcount: Dotcount.web_dotcount(char.name) to self.get_fields_for_viewing. If you haven't added any other custom fields, that section should end up looking like:

    def self.get_fields_for_viewing(char, viewer)
        return {
            dotcount: Dotcount.web_dotcount(char.name)
        }
    end

3. Edit ares-webportal/app/templates/components/fs3-xp.hbs (you will need to ssh into your shell for this one) and add this to the end:

{{#if this.char.custom.dotcount}}
  <div class="dotcount">
    <hr/>
    <h2>Dotcount</h2>
    {{{this.char.custom.dotcount}}}
  </div>
{{/if}}

This will result in the bottom of the XP tab looking something like this:

Please be aware it will only show up for a character whose sheet shows at least one dot above baseline in Attributes or Action Skills.

Uninstalling

Removing the plugin requires some code fiddling. See Uninstalling Plugins.
