Users of the Alignment Conditions (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?20505-Alignment-Condition-extension&p=168812) extension for pathfinder should probably disable it before attempting to use the new update. This extension fills the conditions area with a lot of additional conditions that will overfill the box and require you to re-size the box to accommodate for the additional conditions.

I much preferred the old cartoony 5e theme. Stitched leather look of new theme reminds me of a ceo's office or back to school sale at office max. Maybe make the wizard theme the default one and bring back the original theme as an option?

We could no longer use the cartoonish theme, due to being too similar to another IP that was the original concept.

Yeah, its unfortunate that the style matched too closely to the inspirational source that I used and based them on. Its for this reason, we decided it best to pull the theme.

Thanks. Doug was keen for an executive styled theme, so we went with stitched leather for the replacement theme.

Is the release number right shouldn't it be 3.1.2?

Nope.. this is release 3.1.0.

If you see anything higher than that, it is probably a test release and not a "live release".

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but after the latest string of updates I can no longer roll non-standard dice.

For example if I enter the following / command:

/die 1d1040

The result is always "0". Before it would grant me a randomly generated result.

This is affecting my LMoP campaign, but the functionality is broken across all systems it seems.

The stitched leather is very sharp looking. I like it. Now I have to decide between the two 5e themes... it's hard. The white background is classy too.

Tested my Par5e Monster Manual and currently it is not compatible. This is due to the additional categories for setting up spells, and innate spells. I'm sure the Par5e guys are making adjustments so they can add this data to the monster text file that gets parsed by that tool.

Used the new update on tonight's game for 5E

- seeing the same issue with parsed NPCs giving a script error

-crashed twice when accessing a map...

- seeing some odd distance calculations on the map when I have the tokens locked down. It almost seems like it is counting the second diagonal move as 10 ft (assuming 5 ft squares) like the earlier versions - can't seem to find a switch to make this work like basic 5E - i.e. every square is 5 ft of movement regardless of diagonals. Anyone else seeing this?

-if I attempt to drag and drop a spell into the innate spell area on the NPC sheet it ends up in the spell area instead - is this the intended effect?


other than that works pretty well, though I do wish the NPC spells had the ability to be collapsed by spell level, makes for a long long list otherwise.

I think the pointers ignore squares and directions and measure distance to nearest 5'....? Which is the best solution I think :)

x.1 releases are usually incompatible with each other. It will mean one (or more) people haven't yet upgraded from 3.0.13.

The 5e monster manual is not loading into the 'NPC' tab, nor the 'Images & Map' tab.

Additional notes:
1) You can still see the monster entries via the 'Library' tab, but not the images of course (as they were never available via the Library tab).
2) I've tried this on an existing module and a new one I created tonight.

Apologies in advance if this was mentioned earlier or I'm doing something dumb...

What I am seeing is with tokens locked down a player indicates his move...5 diagonal squares...the system shows that that distance is 35 ft. That is not right and it didn't work that way before this update. It means I have to manually count out the squares for both move and range weapon. Haven't checked to see if affects the pointers for srea effects.

My Monster Manual is showing images and NPC's as normal in those tabs. Have you tried de-activating the module in the Library and reactivating, closing and opening the NPC and Maps tabs once you have done so?

5 diagonal squares is 5 squares right and 5 squares up (or some combination of 2 different axis).
5x5=25
5x5=25
25+25 = 50
squre root of 50 is 7.07
7 x 5' is 35'
the arrow is measuring the actual distance to the nearest 5'

Sounds like your update didn't complete properly. Try running it again. If that doesn't work, go to <FG App Data>\rulesets, delete "SavageWorlds.pak" and run the update again.

deleting the existing ruleset, the update worked this time. Apparently i cannot load the Slipstream extension and the Necropolis extension at the same time now but it doesn't matter and i am unsure whether this was yet the same before the patch.

For movement, the map distance calculations are using the more accurate method of measurement indicated in the DMG. This counts it like it used to do in 3.5E and Pathfinder as well, where each odd diagonal move counts as 10' instead of 5'. Moving diagonal two squares is therefore 15' instead of 10'.

Anyone else seeing this?


The distance calculations are based on the 1.5 diagonal counting used in 3.5E and PFRPG. This is a little more exact than the 1 diagonal count used in 4E. I looked it up tonight, and technically the 5E default should be 1 distance per diagonal as you mentioned. However, it has not changed since the 5E ruleset originally launched, so I don't want to change on the fly. I'll need to look into adding an option to adjust on a per campaign basis.

This is a new feature for 5E. We actually debated internally about showing the spells the way they are versus something more complex. In the end, it made more sense to have the UI be a little more cumbersome for the few NPCs that actually have lots of spells vs. making the whole UI more difficult for all NPCs. I'm sure this will get refined over time.

This is technically an issue with the original release of the Monster Manual including all the NPCs/Images in the campaign list. For all of our products for sale, our defined strategy is to include reference material only in the Library, and to include adventure material in both the Library and the campaign list. We feel that this gives the best experience for accessing material quickly.

Also, the campaign list that displays records sorted by tabs is actually filtering the complete list across all tabs on every transaction, so we try to avoid dumping large numbers of records into these lists for better performance.

After internal discussion on this item, we are going to leave this in the new format.

Regarding this change "[5E] Combat subsection of CT entries no longer auto open when an NPC becomes active combatant."

I liked it the way it was before where the CT entry auto opens when an NPC becomes active combatant. Is there an option to turn this back on? If not, could this be added as a toggle in the options?

Sincerely,

The Lazy DM

PS Love what you did with the spells and innate spells on the NPC sheet and the CT!

[5E/4E/PFRPG/3.5E] Built-in conditions buttons added to campaign effects window.

Thank you. However, every time I click in one of those buttons while using the 4e ruleset, it opens an error screen saying

Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_action_effect.lua"]:219: attempt to concatenate field 'sExpire' (a nil value)

This happens when I'm out of combat (no "arrow" in the CT), when I'm in combat, when the active character on the CT have nothing targetted, and when they do have a target.

Also noticed that we can use different values for the Marked condition on 4e, something I've been asking for years. Get another thank you from me.

After jumping back in and doing a small mod, to suit my groups current game- albiet potentially as a refresher to do a full blown ruleset, I have to give you all props on the CoreRPG implementation. It took me a bit of sifting to get the gist of it, but let me say well done! I'm also happy to see you've got the WotC D&D stuff official. Might jump in and run some 5e for my group (strictly online) at some point and am very happy to have it available.
