Just joined @GunBunnyFuFu's game (Shaintar) and every time I click the Chase Tracker button the console pops up and I get:
Code:Script Error: [string "ct/scripts/minitracker.lua"]:20: attempt to index a nil value
Additionally, on the Player view, the +Damage icon does not light up when I get a raise on an attack. The GM view did show the icon light up and it did roll the bonus damage.Last edited by Talyn; September 21st, 2017 at 03:21.

This is expected, you don't need to highlight that button anymore (and it doesn't get highlighted after successful attack) because raise is detected from pending attack entries on CT (see screenshot) and bonus damage dice is rolled based onthat. You can still manually highlight the button and it will enable damage bonus as well, but unless you skip whole targeting feature alltogether, consider that button "deprecated"

This issue has been addressed in latest hotfix patch (expect to see it soonish in live). It contains following changes:
- [Bug] Script error when opening client chase minitracker. Fixed
- [Bug] Double clicking on hold action card on client minitracker didn't show interrupt message. Fixed

The design here is, if you are rolling multiples trait dices at once (like ROF > 1, Frenzy etc.), say you would roll 4 trait dices and 1 wilds die! You would get following result: Miss, Hit, Raise, Hit. What would you expect to to see/roll next? Previous system did highlight Raise/damage bonus if any of your rolls resulted raise, but in that case it would be misleading. Another example is if you would roll 4 trait dices and 1 wild die and you would get, Hit, Raise, Raise, Hit. The previous system would have highlighted damage bonus, but after you rolled it, it would be gone and no it doesn't highlight the second raise.
This new approach skips the "highlight desktop elements" because, as mentioned in above examples, can be misleading. Instead, if you're using targeting the attack result would indicate the same effect. Like said in previous posts, Damage bonus indicator on desktop can be considered deprecated, but I didn't want to remove it if people want to play without targeting features."Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up: THIS... is my BOOMSTICK!" -- Ash Williams, Army of Darkness

Indeed, please don't remove it. I personally use FG for character maintenance and as an electronic dice roller at the tabletop even without using any features from the combat tracker (since I don't have a GM running FG for me to connect to.) So even disconnected I find FG quite useful even in a situation where those targeting features could not be used.
