Good news everyone!

I have updated the wiki's Jedi Reward handling. In this post, I will explain how this impacts you as a Player, and as a Story Teller. Now, without further delay, let's get to it!

Player

See Shebi Ajava's Character Progression for an example.

As a player, your life becomes much easier. Instead of maintaining a difficult log of your spending, you can just list what you bought when, and the wiki does the rest.

To start using this new system, you'll need to update your Jedi's page. Do so by adding the following to the character progression section on your Jedi's page:

Code: Select all

{{template>jedi progression summary#detail}}
{{template>jedi progression summary}}


This will automatically generate a listing of your incoming , and a mission count. Now comes the hard part, as you'll have to update your progression bookkeeping to fit the jedi progression data:

Every time you spent , you need to note down how much of it you spend, when you have spend it, and on what. You do this by noting these things on your Jedi's page with a 'jedi_progression' data block:

Code: Select all

<data jedi_progression #Progression 1>
Character [ref]: [[]]
Experience: -2
Trait [rule]: Stealth Skill
Rating [dot]: 2
Note [wiki]:
When [date]: 2011-12-22
</data>


The best way to start understanding these data blocks is by looking at the example. That should give you a good idea of how to use the data blocks.

Once you have udpated your wiki page, next time it is only a matter of writing down the new expenditures. The Story Teller will make sure that the mission page gives you your reward.

When you spend , make sure to increase the number in after #Progression for every block. Note the amount of used as a negative number in the Experience field. Write the date you bought the new trait in the 'When' field (in the year-month-day format), and finally describe what you bought with the Trait and Rating fields.

Story Teller

See the Investigate the Riki-Mirkaru accident mission for an example.

Unfortunately, this new system means a smidgen of extra work for the STs. Fortunately, it is really very easy: as a Story Teller, you get to check the mission reports. Now, you also get to update them with the final rewards!

When you approve a story page, update the story's data 'End Date [date]' field with the current date, and list the rewards you have given directly below the story data block with one or more of the following data blocks:

Code: Select all

<data jedi_reward #Reward>
Story [ref]: [[]]
Character [ref]*:
Experience:
Mission:
Reward [wiki]:
</data>


The fields each have a very specific function:

• Character [ref]*: A comma separated list of characters that receive this reward,
• Experience: a single number indicating the amount of handed out
• Mission: the number 1 if this story counts as a mission, leave empty if it does not
• Reward [wiki]: A short text noting any other reward (things like 'Sith Holocron', or 'Lightsaber Crystals' are good examples). At the time of writing, no mission needed this.

You can have multiple reward blocks on a single page, to hand out bonus rewards. Please make sure not to hand out multiple Mission completions! If you place additional reward blocks, please update their name from #Reward to #Reward: Short Title to help ordering of the rewards on the story page.

Hold on a sec! I will be posting an update to make things easier within the hour!

[Brend]

Ok. Everything is easier now. The Jedi progression now understand that Traits are in the rules namespace, and that they can have a rating. I have updated the top post to reflect this.


Note to those that hve to convert their data: for missions before the system, you can use the mission's end date as the date you spent the mission's , this makes it easier to find out when you spent most of your xp.

I converted T'sal and it is not correct.
I miss the two roleyplay XP and somehow my total is 1 more than it should be.
And I miss the plus and the minus symbol on the XP.

I miss the two roleyplay XP and somehow my total is 1 more than it should be.

After some checking, I found the necessary problems: You are illegally claiming those 2xp.

Problem 1: You illegally noted down the RP experience from the plushie investigation. That was a nomination! Not an actual giving of experience! The story page was not approved by a story teller yet, so you don't get anything there.

Problem 2: You noted down a 1 for the 1st Intergalactic Science Conference, but that event doesn't even have a story page -- that is, it has no story data on the page, and is therefore not listed in the Stories listing. Mercury explicitly said that the page should be made into a story page first; since no one did this, you don't get to have the XP!

And I miss the plus and the minus symbol on the XP.

Correct. Those are not coming back any time soon.

[Stuiter]

Okay, I will turn the conference page in a story page and wait for the other approval.
And have deleted now the 2 .

As a note to all players: As an ST, I will delay handing out if you do not update your Jedi page to the new system to encourge people to update.
