After updating to 3.2.0:

Vampire the Masquerade ruleset cannot load. I get the following message:

Ruleset: VtM
Error: Unable to leas ruleset file (campaign/campaign_story.xml)

Nice work as always Moon.

[darrenan]

Here's another shameless plug/request to get the DCPlus (CL/2) functionality rolled into the 3.5/PFRPG ruleset.

[viresanimi]

Another couple of things:

The first is a bug. In CoreRPG: If you mouse over the text field of an entry in the story segment and accidently drag (as in you want to move the window), you get the following:
Script Error: [string "utility/scripts/masterindexitem_name.lua"]:20: attempt to call field 'onDragStart' (a nil value)

Secondly, is somewhat of a little nuissance: If you create a template of in the story tab, and drag and drop the link, so you get a copy, the copy defaults its location to the "none" tab instead of the tab it was suppose to be cloned in. So every time you would need to relocate it to the proper place. That seems like an oversight, which hopefully will be fixed.

Also: Can we have the drop down menu for the groups open up, by clicking on the name? The button is very small!


All in all there are a lot of nice things in this. I really love the ability to turn buttons on / off, depending on what the campaign needs. Love it!

I have a 5e module of a few different story entries that I created by exporting the module from the campaign. It worked for my players in the previous version, but not fully in this version. When my player loads the module, while connected to my server (I have given the green checkmark to this module so they can load it on their end), then looks at their story entries they are all titled "<< New Story >>" instead of having their actual titles. On my screen, as the GM, when I load the module I see the actual titles.

[callahan09]

Another issue (I guess?) is that the manual dice rolling doesn't seem to work if I type in 1 die. In other words:

/die 1d20

Will not work, it just puts a result of 0 in the chat window and nothing in the manual dice roller window.

[callahan09]

I'm not sure what the best design decision is with regard to the Group dropdowns, but I've already noticed that when there are an exceptionally large number of entries, for instance when multiple adventure modules are loaded at one time and you click the "Items" campaign record button, the program will slow to a crawl and appear frozen for a while when the group is set to "All", which is the default. As a result, when I first clicked on Items, it seemed like the program had crashed for a while, but eventually I was able to click the group and select a different one. Once the "All" group was no longer selected, the program started working just fine again. So my suggestion is that maybe All shouldn't be the default, just in case someone has a lot of modules loaded? Or alternatively, perhaps even better, is the code could do a quick check on how many items would be loaded and then give a warning if it is over some certain amount, and say it's reverting to the first group in the list and that All is not available as long as so many modules are loaded? I don't know, but it's just an idea.

Of course, maybe this is just me misusing the software by loading more modules than I'm supposed to? If that's the case, I guess I'll just try to modify the way I use the software and rather than loading all these modules at once and operating directly from them, rather maybe I need to just create copies of the pieces I want to use into the campaign record and then unload the module?

For the record, I had the following modules loaded:

D&D Out of the Abyss
DD Hoard of the Dragon Queen
DD Lost Mine of Phandelver
DD The Rise of Tiamat
D&D Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide - Campaign Guide
D&D Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide - Player's Guide
DD Dungeon Master's Guide
DD PHB Deluxe
DD5E SRD Bestiary
