    3.3.2 Questions

    So tonight I downloaded the update and used it...

    The combat tracker wasn't the same. I could not find the 'add all players' or the 'add allies' option and ended up just dragging and dropping them in. I also wasn't sure about how to close the tracker - it appeared to auto-share which works for me.

    I saw the MENU button and using it did not reveal the things mentioned.

    Anyhow, is there some trick that I am missing or is this just the new model?

    Thanks!

    #1 - Standard Savage Worlds - Combat Tracker "Menu" -> "Add to tracker" (South radial menu option).

    Right-click menu or Click the X (#2 in the screenshot).

    I went back and played with it and got it all sorted out. There is a certain intimidation factor to messing around with the tracker in a live game - I've been burned before .

    It is unclear to me - does closing the tracker on the GM-side also close it for the players?

    No, the players CT is independent of whether the DM has it open or not.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Not quite true,

    it depends. If you have set option "Minitracker: Host controls" to On then you as host must manually share the tracker to players (they cannot access it themselves) and when you close the tracker, it will be close it from players as well. This feature exists only in SavageWorlds ruleset.

    The default option is Off to mimic CoreRPG way.

    BTW, I will also mention that during last night's session, we had 3 or 4 player disconnects that were entirely unrelated to FG (3 were due to Microsoft forced upgrades). When they reconnected, there was zero problems with the combat tracker. This has not been the case in the past; all in all, the combat tracker seemed much more robust and capable of handling difficult connectivity situations while the client/host endured some lengthy disconnects without any signs of problems.
