Customising conditions
SUCC features an easy to navigate user interface to change conditions however you like. If you first load into a world as a GM, SUCC will setup your conditions automatically removing the ones of the SWADE system. You can then go ahead and configure these in the 'Condition Lab' which you can find in the Game Settings (right sidebar, button in the far right upper corner of the screen). There you'll find a new Category for SUCC along with a button labeled 'Condition Lab'. It'll open the following window:
If you prefer the conditions in the SWADE system you can delete all conditions here (see below) and disable the option to remove default conditions in the module settings instead. This is only advisable if you're just using SUCC because another module needs it but you want nothing to do with it.
On the upper part of the Condition Lab you'll find a button to sort your conditions. Next to that is a search bar which lets you filter your conditions. On the right you can also choose a mapping type. In the windows title bar you'll find buttons to import and export your configuration.
By default the mapping type will be set to 'System - Default'. This is SUCCs default mapping for your system (SWADE Core or Savage Worlds Pathfinder). If you wish to customise your conditions you'll have to change the mapping to 'System - Custom'. If you wish to set everything up as you please without using the defaults you can choose 'Other/Imported' instead. This is only recommended for advanced users who know what they are doing or when using an import from a reliable source as it can potentially break things in the SWADE system.
If you wish to export or import your settings, the export file will be saved / needs to be on your local computer, not the server (unless you have direct access to your servers files).
At the bottom of the window you'll have buttons to save, reset and revert to the defaults. Choose these carefully as it cannot be reverted. Remember to save your changes after you're done.
The left side of the list is the main configuration for your conditions. Here you'll be able to change the name, reference (a UUID link to a rules reference for that condition) and icon of each condition.
By default you'll see names like 'SWADE.Shaken' instead of the actual name ('Shaken' in this example). This is because SUCC tries to localise the name and this is a localisation string. That's just an expression the software uses to find the name in your language. If your language is not (fully) supported yet, you'll get the English name during gameplay, otherwise you'll the the translated name. You can also enter a regular name and it won't be translated.
On the right side of list.
Here you can set up options for your condition. There are general options regarding the way the condition behaves during gameplay. Should it always remove other conditions or is it the condition that makes a token defeated? This and other options are available here. Note that other modules can overwrite the changes you make here. Modules can - for example - always make a condition an overlay even if you did not select that here.
There are also more specific options available below. These are specifically tailored towards the SWADE system and allow you to assign some more mechanics to the condition.
You can also edit the Active Effect (AE) which is placed on the tokens actor upon applying the condition. This allows you set the conditions up in other ways. For example you could customise the effects of 'Berserk' or remove them completely if you prefer to handle that on your own. Note that all conditions are AEs but not all AEs are conditions. This means there is no way to not apply an AE when a condition is applied. Likewise it is not advisable to create conditions for all the Active Effects you might need during gameplay.
Lastly, you can run macros when a condition is applied or removed. You can choose from a list of macros saved in your world. Be mindful as to what you set up here as there is no way to stop the execution of a macro once it is fired. You should only set up macros if you know exactly what they do and that they will not cause issues (which is also a good advice in general).
You can scroll all the way down and click 'Add row' to add new conditions. At the right of each condition is a trash bin icon that allows you to delete conditions. The arrows above and below the trash bin icon allow you to manually sort your conditions. Keep in mind that some other modules might also change the sorting and could conflict with SUCC. If you're using such modules, it is strongly advised that you disable the sorting in these and let SUCC handle it.
