Release v3.0

[Moon Wizard]

Fantasy Grounds v3.0 is now available via the FG updater or via the FG installer on the Downloads page.

Please see the following post for a summary of changes in this release. Additionally, a more comprehensive list of patch notes is available here.

If for any reason you are unable to use v3.0, please immediately let me know via private message or the House of Healing forum.

NOTE: You should disable all extensions for 3.5E and 4E campaigns as the ruleset structure has changed dramatically since the last version, and the extension developers will most likely need to update their extensions to work correctly.

NOTE 2: Targeting has changed dramatically in this version. Please see primer in second post.

Cheers,

Quick Primer on Targeting Changes

Targeting is now token-to-token targeting, instead of user-to-token targeting. Also, targeting is stored and remembered between sessions.

Token Selection

• Mouse click on a token (with no modifier key) to select the token (dark ring).
• Press SHIFT+mouse click to select additional tokens.
• Press the selection mode image toolbar button (or use right click menu) to select a group of tokens.
• Press SHIFT while in selection mode to choose tokens in a freehand region, instead of a box region.
• Selected tokens can be moved as a group.

Token Targeting

• Press CTRL+mouse click to target a token with any selected tokens.
• For the CoreRPG, 3.5E, PFRPG, 4E, C&C and CoC rulesets; if no tokens are selected, the token linked to the active character (for players) or the active CT entry (for GM) will target the clicked token instead.
• Press the targeting mode image toolbar button (or use right click menu) to target more than one token.
• Press SHIFT while in targeting mode to choose targets in a freehand region, instead of a box region.

Good work, folks. These changes represent a huge step forward for GMs who want to run the game easily. Drag and drop images, targeting on the map, token searching. Well done.

Fudge Dice! Thank you for the die image for those. Fate Core and Dresden Files updates to come. No promises when though.

Are you going to be updating the other purchasable Rule sets like M&M?

[Doswelk]

Is there any way to downgrade back to 2.9x?

Savage Worlds is rather broken right now (running Necropolis fights with 50+ bads guys I really need player-token tagging working, also without iKael's expansions half of my pre-defined encounters do not work to well

okay... downloaded and installed fg3.

question: there was a file in fg2 (3.5e.pak) that allow me to fart around with skinning. where is that file in fg3 -- is it stored elsewhere?

[Acroyear]

In the /rulesets directory

Is Numenera rule set still being developed? It won't let me create a campaign for it and when I try and open the one I created while in development it has an issue with base.xml
