What about the new live modules in Shadowrun: Mit Hauern und Hörnern? Can I maybe assist to add them?

[OLStefan]

You could assist in doing the data files for them. For assistance you could look at the lifemodules.xml in Chummers data directory. If you've got more questions, you can best ask on the Chummer Discord as I get notifications when someone writes there (and will propably quicker than 8 days :) )

Hi OLStefan, I tested building a new character, but Life Modules and SIN Qualities #471 does not seem to be fixed. Version used: Chummer.Nightly.v5.201.45 Regards Josh

[chummer5a]

It hasn't been fixed yet, he just pulled all the major life module issues into one so that I don't keep having a panic attack about how many open issues we have.

[JoshuarTree]

Thank you! I was just hoping that it works, because the checkbox is filled. I like the concept of life modules, because often my players have a very short history for their chars. The life modules help making the char feel more complete. :-)

Looks like it's not dynamically adjusting for the SINner quality. I'm starting with a Seattle resident (who gets SINner [national], then when I try to add Fugitive (which gives it a Criminal SIN) it pops up for half a second then goes away. Nothing is added or removed.

[OLStefan]

The changes I made (and checked already) are not merged and as such not in the Nightly or Stable releases.

The changes are only on a branch, which is a long way from being able to be merged, but since then I haven't found time and/or motivation to finish the rework.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

(I hate to necropost but) I was wondering if there was any more planned support for this in the future. I'm noticing some modules just won't add at all when I select them. It'll just close the window as though I selected it, and when I open it back up it remains exactly the same. Alternatively if I click "Add & More" it won't move on to the next module and just remain on the same screen, without adding my choice. It's also really inconsistent when this happens. One test it happened with Teen, another with Further Education.

I tried looking at updating the LifeModuleRework branch to bring in some of the changes from master, but the branch is so far out of date that he merge conflicts are very complicated. Not sure if this will ever get done without a major effort of updating the existing branch or creating a new one and re-making some of the changes.
