Feature Demos

Lancer Compendium Manager (aka LCP Importer)

The Lancer Compendium Manager is used to create and update Compendiums of Lancer items. It is used both to update the core data and to import additional items from Comp/Con data packs (.lcp files). After core data or an LCP is converted to Compendiums the first time, updating or re-importing will update the matching items in the Compendiums. The item types which can currently be imported are:

Pilot skill triggers (including custom skills)
Talents
Core bonuses
Pilot equipment (armor, weapons, gear)
Mech frames
Mech systems
Mech weapons
NPC classes
NPC templates
NPC features

Open the Lancer Compendium Manager using the button at the bottom of the Compendium tab. Core data comes packaged within the Lancer system; when new data is available the update button will be visible next to the core data version.

The Import/Update LCP area can be used to select an LCP file and import it. Once a file is selected, a preview showing the name of the LCP, version, author, description is given. Finally, the Clear LANCER Compendium Data can be used to erase all data from your Lancer Compendiums (after a confirmation prompt - no single-click deletions!), in case something goes wrong or you want to start from a fresh slate.

Comp/Con Cloud Save Importing

Pilot sheets now have a fourth tab - RM-4://SYNC - where new pilots can enter a Comp/Con cloud share code and click the download button to import your Comp/Con pilot into Foundry! Mech mounts and weapons are not yet imported and will need to be manually added as before.

System Installation

NOTE: This system is in Alpha! While technically released, it is not feature complete. There are probably bugs! If you find some, please submit an issue so we can keep track of it.

To install, click "Install System" in the Foundry setup menu and enter this URL in the "Manifest URL" box: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Eranziel/foundryvtt-lancer/master/src/system.json, then click "Install".

Once the system is downloaded, create a world which uses it and go exploring!
