That's good, and I really hope you do!

I added a car chase generator for Shadowrun. It's works the same as the generator for Scion except for the difficulties, which more closely match those in the SR4A core book.

Right now it's just the different threats I've used or will be using in our campaign. The next items on the agenda are:

1) Add a copy to clipboard function to make it easier to cut and paste them.

2) Add a "new threat" page so anyone can submit a threat to be included (though they'll have to be approved first, just in case a spambot finds the place and thinks it's worth posting to.

3) An edit threat page. Overwriting the original would require approval, but it could also be used to more easily save a slightly different version of a threat.

Without further ado, I give you the threats database.

The ability to create a threat has been added. It gets created but not put in the live list (you can still view it yourself or even share the link). Once I get around to approving it, it'll be available on the main page. I'm guessing that the approval process isn't really necessary and just me being overly cautious. If/when that turns out to be true I'll take that step out and new threats will go straight to the database.

I've looked at having a copy to clipboard function but it looks like most browsers disallow that for security reasons and you have to use Flash to get around it. So for now that won't be happening.

Also, I'd like to add the ability to download a zip file of the entire database, so people can use them offline.

Couple of updates to the "add threat" functionality:

- Modified the ammunition row so that it outputs the clickable tables like the current threats have.
- Added a "Description" field.
- Added the ability to enter any field name wanted, in case the list that's there isn't enough.

Next on the agenda:

- make it so that vehicles have condition monitors for their rigger if they're rigged, or just one monitor if they're not.
- add the ability to zip it all up and take it with you.

I added a link for downloading all of the threats in a zip file. A few things that aren't immediately apparent about the threats:

- Clicking on a condition monitor box marks that box as fille, either by changing its background picture or it color. Clicking it again toggles it back to normal

- Clicking an edge box blacks that box in. Clicking it again clears it.

- Clicking on a bullet box in an ammunition section blacks out that bullet and all of the ones beneath it. Clicking on a clip blacks out the clip and reloads any blacked out bullets.

Adding vehicles is now possible. It'll let you put inthe vehicle's stats and gives a condition monitor for it. If it's rigged then the rigger's monitor and stats are also available.

Now maybe some of the people who asked for an add button will actually use it.

I just fixed a lot of the tables on the SR4 quick reference. They were built using a non-updated pdf of SR4A. They should now all reflect the values in the printed copy.

James McMurray · May 19, 2011, 10:29:48 PM

I have a hard time remembering who rolled what for surprise, especially if there's combatants entering partway through the fight. So I added a column to the initiative tracker store that info.

James McMurray · May 26, 2011, 10:52:48 AM

The tooltips on the combat tab have been fixed so the ones on the left don't go off the screen anymore. If anyone has any trouble with the ones on the right, let me know.

James McMurray · May 31, 2011, 04:14:38 PM

A few updates to the online SR screen:
- added a 5th pass to the movement calculator.
- moved some stuff on the vehicle combat tab so that it all fits
- added a tab for elemental damage types
- massaged some layout and presentation stuff
- merged the two different sections for Reaction that were on the skills by attribute tab

Thanks to everyone who has submitted threats to the Shadowrun threats database! I also added several of my own from our campaign.

The SR quick reference's matrix section just got a big boost thanks to Farothel's cheat sheets.

James McMurray · June 14, 2011, 01:57:13 PM

Also added a tab for Matrix Perception to the matrix section. (say that five times fast)
