Downloading The Extension
This Extension and its accompanying Documentation can be downloaded from the links at the bottom of this post.

Loading The Extension
This Extension is loaded exactly like all other Fantasy Grounds Extensions - by first copying the .ext file to the Extensions Folder under the Fantasy Grounds Folder and then re-starting Fantasy Grounds. If the Extension is compatible with the currently installed version of a given Ruleset it will be displayed in the Extensions List for that Ruleset and can be loaded by clicking on the Checkbox next to the Extensions name.

If the Extension has large red 'X' next to its name in the Extension List then the Extension or an Extension that this one is dependent upon is not compatible with the chosen Ruleset. Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the latest copy of this Extension and any Extensions this one is dependent upon.

When Fantasy Grounds Updates
After a Fantasy Grounds version update you should verify that all Extensions (not just this one) have been either updated themselves or verified by the Extension author that they work with the new version of Fantasy Grounds. If you have any issues with Fantasy Grounds after an update then it is best to disable all Extensions and then re-enable them one by one until the issue re-appears.

Hi Everyone,

I just updated the Extension to fix the Deletion Bug that was reported in the Locations Extension Thread (you know, we should really get into the habit of reporting bugs in their correct thread :) )

Hiyo: keep getting the following error when adding a title to a new Org in CnC. I am updated to latest.

Script Error: [string "DOEBase/Scripts/lsMiscFunctions.lua"]:348: attempt to index a nil value
Script Error: [string "DOEBase/Scripts/lsMiscFunctions.lua"]:348: attempt to index a nil value
Script Error: [string "DOEBase/Scripts/lsMiscFunctions.lua"]:348: attempt to index a nil value
Script Error: [string "DOEBase/Scripts/lsMiscFunctions.lua"]:348: attempt to index a nil value

So each letter I type appears in the title box, but I need to re-click to add the next letter...slow going. no other bugs yet...and looks awesome. Thanks so much for this new ext.

OK, this is an example of the same type of on-again-off-again intermittent issue that a couple of other people have raised (in the Locations Extension) which we're having trouble tracking down, so...

Can you give me as much information as you can: other extensions loaded, new or existing campaign, can you grab (again) this extension and the DOE Base Extension and check again - basically, everything you're doing (I know it happens when you change the organisations name/title, so don't include that :) )

Thanks

will load everything up when I get home...I'll be away from my home PC tonight but back tomorrow afternoon.

From memory, I know I have Locations/Organis./and the Base from you..also Color Gizmo and Mood Lighting (there may be more but I'm not home and can't remember). I have several others installed but not activated (Movable dice tower/Languages (since it's built in now)) (again, maybe more...but I'm not home to check). The campaign is existing...has been ongoing for some time.

When I installed the new ver. of the ext.'s I overwrote the old, closed everything down and restarted. Strangely, the Locations ext did not load and threw an error, though I did not bother to write it down. I then closed everything again and did a system restart...and then locations started up fine with all of my previous data avail. When I then went to test Organis., I was thrown the error stated above.

For a more detailed account ya need to wait til I get home...sorry about the delay...I want to help as much as possible. Your extensions have been awesome! We aren't planning on shifting into 5e anytime soon so everything commty members do to add functionality to CORE is really appreciated.

color gizmo causes issues it is now obsolete.

color gizmo causes issues it is now obsolete.

Yeah, bob's right - basically its a good idea to complete remove old/obsolete Extensions (move them to an archive directory if you want to keep them for historical purposes) - I'd remove alte colourgizmo, movable dice tower, languages, whatever; that way you don't accidentally load them and so remove the potential issues

@bobbylain: are we sure colourgizmo is the root cause in and of itself, or is this just speculation on our part at the moment?

Cheers

bobbylain
December 12th, 2015, 02:51
it cant be the cause for "Script Error: [string "DOEBase/Scripts/lsMiscFunctions.lua"]:348: attempt to index a nil value" because I was seeing this one periodically and I never used the gizmo. I mentioned the gizmo here because it could potentially lead to false results when tracking down the line 348 error. Plus, like you said about the documentation. People need to read it and clear things out so its easier to track down bugs.

I ran into an issue in a program I wrote for work where nil values would populate and then the code wouldn't read nil.. "like dividing by zero" so I'm exploring that angle on this particular error I still haven't been able to reproduce it with my new campaigns so its a bit frustrating. My theory is we as users are populating a list with a blank spot some where like creating a new entry and then not filing it out for example and that is the cause but I haven't been successful yet in have something recreate every single time. There are prolly hundreds of possible spots to populate nil value so it might take me some time to track it down.

Well, the DOEs have been tested with the Theme, but not with the other Extensions you are running. Have you tried disabling the other Extensions and seeing if the issue still occurs (if not, would you mind?)

Cheers

taoistpunk
December 13th, 2015, 01:57
I turned all off save for the DOE's...including shutting off the theme. Still throws the same error.

I deleted the previous records and began a fresh record, but same error occurred. Anything else I should try?

As a test just now, I started a new campaign (CnC). I did not get the error, so it's something in the existing campaign.

bobbylain
December 13th, 2015, 02:15
we have established that its something with existing campaigns. once the error occurs is doesn't reverse. Starting a new campaign always seems to clear the error. however lets say you have hundreds of entries like it my campaign. and you get the error would you want to start over? We are trying to find out what causes the error and at this point, it appears to be randomly caused, and frequent enough to be a problem.

Question is. what all did you do with the DOE extensions before the error occurred. does it it happen only on the same tab, (for me it happened on portal tab, and on organizations tabs). If you make an entry then delete it then make a new one, if you are linking entries to other entries what you type into the entries(example if you are typing characters in a location that should only have numbers, could spawn an error). That's the parts that will be important to tracking the error. What I have been doing is creating new campaigns and doing as I normally would until I get the error and then detailing everything I did up to that point. even doing that the error is currently elusive. We know what line the error happens on but that line references several different points. If we can find a commonality then things will be easier to track and fix.

When adding an NPC to the organizations NPC list I get a double line. should be npc name. and then a line for rank. I get that but then I get a whole second line under NPC name and rank.

I didnt see anything in the manual about it but I havent read through everything yet.

No, that's right, there are four pieces of information: Name and Rank on the first line, and Position and Reputation on the second (or whatever - the last three are just string fields which don't link to anything, so you can put anything in them you like)

Am I the only one who's not able to drag 'n' drop places into the "Headquarters" field? It just doesn't populate.
Dragging and dropping on the "Leader" field works fine.

dulux-oz
January 31st, 2016, 07:06
Just you :) - works fine for me.

OK, so which Ruleset & version, which version of DOEBAse, DOELocations and DOEOrganisations, and which Place-type are you trying to drag into the HQ?

shemantis
January 31st, 2016, 15:16
Ruleset & version: 5e & 3.1.5
version of DOEBase: 1.1
DOELocations: 4.1
DOEOrganisations: 1.2
which Place-type: Town

And I have no other extensions, FWIW.
Because these are seriously the most wonderful ones in the world.

dulux-oz
February 1st, 2016, 00:17
Thankyou :)

A HQ can't be a Town: that's by design - as it says in the Manual the HQ entry can take a Building or a Location record (as opposed to a Town, World, Plane, etc) (Organisations Manual: Extension Details Page: Main Page Heading: 5th Paragraph).

The idea is that a HQ is normally a Building (the actual Head Quarters), but as you could have a Bandit Gang (for eg) they might instead be HQ'd in a cave or a corpse of trees (both Location Records). If you're trying to specify a Town as the HQ my question (as one of your Players) would be "where in the town?"

Does that help explain things?

shemantis
February 1st, 2016, 03:01
Is there any way you could allow Towns as Headquarters? I understand your reasoning, but it would be nice to have the option.
It's not going to stop me from using the extension (not trying to gush, but I seriously love it and the Locations one), it would just make me love it all the more.

dulux-oz

Hi Everyone,

I've finally gotten a copy of the 5E WotC Theme so I can "rework" all of the DOEs to make them fit the theme better.

But now I need to get some appropriate graphic - if someone could do me up some 5E WotC-style graphics for this Extension (and any of the other DOEs) I'm sure I and the rest of the Community would be very grateful.

For that matter, if the graphics of any of the DOEs aren't quite right for your favorite Ruleset then if you'd like to do some up I'll incorporate them into the next release of the relevant DOE.

Thanks - and spread the word to your RPG GM-friends about the DOEs if they're not using them already. :)

Cheers

The Manuals are modules (as is stated in post #1 in the Overview section, plus the ".mod" filename extension is a dead giveaway). All Modules go in the Modules folder in the FG data folder - one place this is explained is in my Tutorial Video series, and I'm sure its mentioned elsewhere as well.

The Organisations Wiki Page has as its first sentence "To Be Completed" - sorry, but I haven't gotten around to finishing it off yet - people keep asking me to add more features to the Extensions!

I'd say instructions for installation and basic usage should be the first things to be finished in any mod or extension. I'm sure most of the people delving this far into FG's features know how to do it, but easy guidance and installation procedure would certainly help with accessibility of the extensions.

As a general note, this is not so much a fault of your extensions, but the very obtuse way extensions, images, etc. are added to FG. In this day and age there shouldn't be a need for a guide for installation, let alone to muck around with multiple directories.

Thank you, now I should be able to get everything to work!

As for basic usage instructions, I suspect that's a matter of priorities. And I suspect someone like dulux might look at such and say "I know how to use it, I'm sharing it to the community for free, and I don't get paid for it... It's not really a priority for me..."

Hi Everyone,

With the impending release of FGv3.2 I have been working furiously on getting all the DOEs (new and old) working with the new way of doing things. As such, I need to get some new icons for the Sidebar, etc. If anyone with any sort of artistic talent could have a look at the list of what I need (below) and what I need in the other DOE Threads and produce some appropriate graphics for me and for your fellow Community Members I'm sure we'll all appreciate it. If you get in touch I can supply some of the "base" graphics (for those icons that use that "style" of graphic).

Edit: Updated list (as of 07:30 UTC 29-Jun-16):

What we need for the DOE Organisations Extension is:

A Large Sidebar Button for the 5E Ruleset in both "Up" and "Down" versions
A Large Sidebar Button for the d20 Modern Ruleset in both "Up" and "Down" versions
A Large Sidebar Button for the 5E WotC Theme in both "Up" and "Down" versions

Thanks

Hi Everybody,

I've decided to make the raw files that make up this and the other DOEs available via Bitbucket and Git. So if you're a fellow dev, know how to drive a Git-client (btw I prefer GitKracken) and would like to contribute and/or help beta-test the DOE Updates before they go live then feel free to contribute via Git and Bitbucket.

Please see the first post in this Thread for details.

Note that all working versions of the Dulux-Oz Extensions will be released in the first Post of their relevant Thread as per normal.

Hi Guys & Girls,

So its 21-Feb-2017 and I find myself in the position to be able to spend the next week or so on ensuring that the DOEs are working properly for people. In an effort to make my life easier in this, I'm going to ask you all to please post a message here about any outstanding Bugs you may have with this DOE (copies of this post are being made in each of the DOE Threads, so only post here about this DOE, please). However, before you do, please take a brief moment to read through any other Bug Posts made after this Post so that you're not telling me about something I've already been made aware of - sure, if you have further information, add it to the mix, but multiple posts about the same Bug are actually counter-productive - no "Me too" posts, please - thanks.

Also, just to spell things out explicitly, BEFORE you post a Bug could you please ensure that you have the latest Ruleset and Extensions (possible by downloading the Extensions again).

I'm going to use the Post # as the Bug Tracking # from now on, so if you do need to add information about a previously reported Bug, include the original Post/Bug # in your updated information - thanks.

Please note that this is about Bugs, not Desired Features (I'll probably do one of those "requests" requests later on).

If you do post a Bug, please include the following information:

The Ruleset you are using, including version numbers
A full list of any Extensions you have loaded, including versions numbers (where available)
If the Bug only occurs when a Module is loaded, the Module Name and version number (if applicable)
A detailed explanation of the Bug and how to reproduce it


So, let's see about making sure everything's working properly - your help and patience in this is appreciated.

Cheers

Hi All,

Well, things are progressing well enough with the new 13th Age Ruleset and Modules that I'm actually starting to consider how the Ruleset is going to interact with some of the Extensions available, such as the DOEs. With that in mind I desperately need someone(s) with some graphical experience (probably Photoshop) to do us up some 13th Age-style Menubar/Sidebar Buttons for the DOEs - as I've exclaimed on numerous occasions in the past, my graphic works SUX!

So if you'd like to lend a hand please drop me a PM - I can provide template images for most of the required buttons, but you will have to manipulate then to produce what we require - thanks.

dulux-oz
February 7th, 2018, 06:26
Hi Everybody,

I've just placed a new version of the Extension on the first post (v1.7.0).

This version is a compatibility update for FGv3.3.4 and also included all the appropriate graphics for all of the supported Rulesets and the new Simple-Brown and Simple-Grey Themes (except for a single DOE: Organisations graphic for the CnC Ruleset - if someone can help with that it'd be appreciated).

DOE Depreciation Notice

With the release of the new DORCore Ruleset (currently v0.9.1), support for Community Rulesets within the DOEs is being depreciated. While the DOEs still work with those existing Community Rulesets as listed in the individual DOE Threads, the expectation is that this functionality will be removed for the next release of FG after v3.3.4 (ie in a few months time near the middle of 2018). This will allow the Developers of these Community Rulesets time to transition their Ruleset from being a child of the CoreRPG to being a child of the DORCore.

The DOEs will continue to work and will continue to be supported by me for all of the "standard" CoreRPG-child Rulesets available via the FG Updater utility. At this point in time (Feb-2018) this list of Rulesets consists of: CoreRPG, 3.5E, 4E, 5E, 13A (13th Age, ETA=Soon(TM)), CoC, CoC7, CnC, d20 Modern, Fate Core, Numenera, PFRPG and SW.

The reason this is being done is to consolidate the time and effort that is required to maintain compatibility - basically by doing things this way there will be more time for more features and functions to be included in the DORCore, DOEs and future DORs & DOEs.

Please see the DORCore Thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?42221-DORCore-An-Advanced-Beta-Release-Of-A-New-Ruleset) for further details.

This notice is being / will be placed on each of the individual DOE Threads.

Hi Everybody,

I've just placed a new version of the Extension on the first post (v1.8.0).

This version is a compatibility update for FGv3.3.5 and also included a fix for Simple Brown & Gray Themes, plus all the DOEs now support the Starfinder Ruleset (although appropriate graphics are still required - please drop me a line if you can help out with this).

Enjoy! :)

Hi Everybody,

I've just updated the Extension to v1.8.1.

This is primarily a compatibility update to fix a couple of minor bugs, etc.

Please note that with the release of the new DOE:REMU Extension the delivery method for all of the DO-REMs (Dulux-Oz Rulesets, Extensions & Modules) has changed. Please see Post #1 of this thread for full details.

Enjoy! :)

Actually, we Australians (and the English - who's language it happens to be) spell it the correct way. Its only those "deviants"* from the other side of the world who insist on spelling *English* words the non-English way.

*Deviant - someone who has deviated from the norm.

Hi, I don't know if it is on purpose, but it seems one can not set a town from the 'locations' extension to be the Headquarters of an organization. It only allows me to set the location (from the Locations main tab) as headquarters. I trust this is not a big thing, but it would be useful to have that option. Also, i presume that being able to do it would link the location, town, NPC and Org with each other automatically, which is the way these extensions were meant to work.

Otherwise, I wish to say you did a wonderful job with these, thank you ;)

No, that's by design - You can link a Building to an Organisation's HQ or a Location (the idea being that you use a Location for a Bandit Group's Cave or encampment). The design decision is/was that we would need a more precise "spot" than a City/Town/Village ie/eg the Inn of the village (in the basement?), the barracks of a Town (Militia Organisation), things like that.

Does that make sense? :)

Gruber
August 22nd, 2018, 08:32
Thanks for the answer, I figured that's the intention. But, perhaps it would be nice to have the option of making it work woth Towns as well. (which could be renamed as 'settlements' in Locations ext). Until then, I'll just make a workaround and create a placeholder building to serve as HQ.

Minor Issue:

A character sheet can be dragged into the leader field of an organisation and will link properly, but the field will continue showing « Leader » instead of the name specified on the sheet. I'm guessing this probably wasn't intended to work, but it'd be great since I use character sheets for certain important NPC's.

Yeah, I never considered using a PC Sheet - its designed to work with an NPC Sheet, so its trying to pull information from a place in the database that doesn't exist.

Its a good idea, though, so I'll see about tweaking the code to make it work. :)

Hi Everyone,

With the release of FGv3.3.7 during the last 24-hours I have placed an updated version of the DOE:Organisations (v1.8.2) on the first post of this thread.

As I've previously mentioned, with the retirement of the DOE:REMU I'm moving (eventually) all of the DO REMs back from the GitHub Repository to their own relevant FG Forum Threads. For the record: if a DO REM is not avaliable from the first post of its relevant Thread then it will still be avaliable (for the time being) from the GitHub Repository - but check the relevant FG Forum Thread FIRST.

Also, please note that this is a minor "bug update" - the update which will allow the use of this Extension with PF2 is still being developed & tested.

Enjoy

Hello All,

I plan on releaseing updates to all the DOE's and to the DORCore soon after FGv3.3.8 is released (this is a goal, not a promise). The new versions will be placed as a download on the first post of the relevant thread (as they were originally).

I have also removed all of the DOEs from GitHub - current versions of the DOEs can be found on the first post of the relevant Thread.

Cheers

Is it currently possible to hide certain organizations from my players? I'm running Dragon Heist and I created the Factions and there's a lot of information--not too much spoiler-y information, but some of the leaders identified could be. I know I can hide NPCs, outright, but I was wondering if it's at all possible to hide an entire Organization entry, altogether? Or if it'd be a heavy lift to do something like that?

The extensions you made, btw @dulux-ox, are incredible! Thanks for all that you've done!

I should have indicated I also have all the guilds in there, too. I created an entire Waterdeep module with all that stuff tied in. I want them to see the guilds, but I'm a little more wary about the factions, and if it's possible to have a toggle-able hide/unhide option, that would be great. I'm guessing that maybe just creating another module entirely, one that they can't load up, is likely my best option?

Yeah, if the "don't share the records" doesn't help, then the next step ios to have GM-versions and Player-version, just like with maps.

My issue with graphics is that I suck making them - if people would like to make up graphics for theoir favourite theme (or whatever) then I'll work with them (and anyone else who needs to be involved) and get them intergrated into the DOEs

I've put some together for Locations and Organisations (see, I even spelled it wrong for you ;)). It's not exactly the same, but it's better than what I see now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9cytsv05wt1bpk6/sidebar.zip?dl=0

Hi All,

I've just published new versions of all the DOEs. These versions work with FGv3.3.8 & FGv3.3.9 (when it gets released).

Note: For the moment, these versions of the DOEs DO NOT WORK WITH FGU-Beta (for those of you in the FGU-Beta-test Program). For the moment, please feel free to use the (now) old versions of the DOEs. I'll be releaseing FGU-Compatible/Supported/Tested version when FGU is released.

Each new DOE version has been placed on the first Post of each relevant DOE Thread, as per normal.

I'll be updating the each DOE Maunuals (and the FG Wiki), plus the individual Ruleset Extensions Threads, over the next little while.

These DOEs, apart from having general updates, have the following modifications to them:

Added ColourGroups to all DOE Lists - Allows the player to give one of 7 coloured backgrounds (8 if you include "none") to the individual Entries in Lists. Used to visually group Entries together. Look for the Rainbow on all DOE List.
Fixed the Comma in Prices Issue in Buildings (Shops)
Caused Items weighing less than 1 unit to be recorded as 0 weight to stop the FG Engine's recording them as a long decimal in Buildings (Shops).
Fixed the Coin Label case Issue in Buildings (Shops).
Added ChatBox Message on character buy & sell in Buildings (Shops).

Thanks to Tim Cox for help in getting the last 4 of these done.

These DOEs now support:

CoreRPG
13th Age
D&D 2E
D&D 3.5E
D&D 4E
D&D 5E
Call Of Cthulhu 6E
Call Of Cthulhu 7E
Castles & Crusades - Needs a Graphic
Cypher Systems
Fate Core
Numenera
PFRPG
PFRPG2
SavageWorlds (SWADE) - Needs three Graphics
SFRPG - Needs Graphics
SWD
The Strange
The Dungeon, Simple Brown, Simple Grey, and Wood Themes across all supported Rulesets


These DOEs have had the following Rulesets depreciated and are no longer supported:

BoL
Dark Herasy
GURPS - may re-support in coming versions.
Maelstrom
MoreCore
WHFRP2


As per normal, if you find any bugs (these Extensions are provided "as is"), have any suggestions, etc, then please let me know by posting here for the relevant DOE and I'll get it fixed and released ASAP.

Enjoy :)
