Test Release v3.3.0 (was v3.2.4)

[Moon Wizard]

FG v3.3.0 will be a combination of official Pathfinder support and bug fixes. The plan is to make this a fairly quick turnaround release to support the Pathfinder launch.

As always, we're a small company so we rely on our community to help sound out each new release. Thanks in advance to all those who pitch in.

Please see the sticky thread on public testing if you want to be involved. Only the Test mode slot contains this version. I will update this thread as I release new iterations of the test version.

Key Things
1) Always backup your campaign data before running the test version.
2) If the GM is running on test then all of the players will also be running on test.
3) If you encounter an issues log them in the relevant testing thread - don't use the generic House of Healing, but use this thread.

Notes
The caching algorithm for player cache data has changed. If you revert to Live to join a game, you will need to nuke your cache, or you will get errors.

Thanks,

[CoreRPG+] Tooltip added to activation/speech button on PC sheet.

"[CoreRPG+] Story navigation buttons will navigate within matching module and group, instead of just module."

Would it be hard to turn this into an option you can toggle on / off? Personally I feel these are just in the way and take up screen space, but I can see why some people would probably like them. Depending on how you organize your modules that is. And since I am all for options, can it literally become one?

These are done as small forward back and up buttons within the existing footer section of the story frame, so I don't think they take up any more room. Are you looking at the new built-in ones? Some of our devs were adding text links within the story for each component and those took up more room.

[LordEntrails]

I believe these are the buttons at the bottom of a story entry that are being talked about.

I would assume they take up some vertical space. But I don't know. If they do, then I think Viresanimi is asking that an option be available to turn them off.

Where I think these types of links are what Doug was talking about as being added by developers;

Yep, that is what I was wanting to clarify. I'm not sure if Moon Wizard had to expand the frame size at all for them, but I didn't think he did since there was already a small footer for the resize handle on the bottom-right. I could be wrong.

[Nickademus]

Next time I run my game I can check. I have certain story windows measured from the bottom to the line. If one line less is showing, I'll know that the footer was increased. Though I didn't notice a change during my last game but I could have been distracted.

[viresanimi]

I don't really care about space. I just don't have use for those buttons at all. What I was wondering was if it was a hard thing to add to the options menu. I basically am a big fan of being able to customize things so they fit my needs as a gm. Hence I love the ability to toggle the sidebar buttons as needed. Just to give an example.

[JohnD]

Was there something strange going on about 30 minutes ago? In Test I had an update which moved me from 3.2.4 to 3.3.0. As this happened right before game time, none of my players could connect, so I had them update in the Test channel and some were getting 3.3.0 and some were getting 3.2.4 which caused a big cluster^$*@.

Solution - we all rolled back to 3.2.3 after fiddling around for ~ 30 minutes.

[Moon Wizard]

Not that I'm aware of. Perhaps it was a glitch in the CDN network.

[PFRPG/3.5E] Proficiencies combined into a single list on PC sheet Abilities tab.
[PFRPG/3.5E] Racial traits section added on PC sheet Abilities tab.



I tried to create a "race" record with all it's "racial traits" implemented as links to corresponding "feat" records, i also created.
But because of the reference class of the feat records they can not be dropped into the "racial feats" section of a character sheet (they will automaticly sorted into the "feats" section).

Would be great if you could implement a way with which you can drag&drop "proficiennies, specialabilities, feats and racial feats" into the correct section of a character sheet from a "container" record like "class" or "race" records ...

I am sure that "drag&drop a race with traits or a class with features into a charsheet will automaticly add the containing traits and features into the right places of the charsheet" .. will come next ... would be realy cool :D

[Moon Wizard]

That would be cool, but we're trying really hard to limit ourselves to what we can confidently deliver. We want to be able to launch as soon as all the hurdles are clear, so I won't be adding much from this point for v3.3.0. (hoping that the release is sooner than later)

That's absolutly ok. You prepared the rulesets with your new features very well for adding the "nice to have features for character creation on PFRPG" easely with community extensions.
I think this is even the better way, so you could concentrate to develop the real importend core features !

As many others, i can't wait for the new Realease and the new official Pathfinder content ... :)

Great work, as usual, JPG.

Love that you keep adding support for more automated functionality to the Pathfinder character sheet.

However, i am a bit split about new updates on the test version. On one hand, i love the new functionality, on the other, this means that the PF release still is not as imminent as one would have hoped :(

Anyhow, keep up the good work. :)

Might have to do with how most people react to pepper. But that's the genious part with pepper, the added security over salt.

The downside to either approach is that when you turn the keyboard over to find your secret password, all the salt falls out.

"Runetimer Error: desktop: Unable to create window with invalid class (template.id-00018@Advanced Bestiary)"

I just tested locally and didn't see any errors. Make sure that you have the Advanced Bestiary extension activated still for your campaign. The extension adds the Template button, the NPC factory button on the Templates window and adds the window class for the templates.

Shame on me! The extension was not activated on my campaign ... (i did not realize that there was also an extension delivered with the module i bought)

Yesterday I ran into an issue in Mutants and Masterminds, which I believe is connected to the test version.

My players couldn't open the Heroes Handbook module. The "book" you open to do so, was simply not there. It was missing. The module was shared on my end and we tried everything we could, but alas... Nothing worked.

[Trenloe]

Yesterday I ran into an issue in Mutants and Masterminds, which I believe is connected to the test version.
Was everyone (GM and Players) on the test version - i.e. all of their clients were running on test and showing v3.3.0?

[JohnD]

Pretty sure you can't connect to 3.3.0 from a 3.2.x client.

[Trenloe]

Pretty sure you can't connect to 3.3.0 from a 3.2.x client.
Maybe, but it's good to verify that everyone was on the exact same version. And also running test - not dev. It was a valid question.

[Moon Wizard]

I just tried on my dev system, and it was working. Could you load the M&M Heroes Handbook on the GM side on your machine?

This is the one that ultimately matters, since the GM transmits to the players.

You could also try to get them to nuke their cache (on the Join Game screen in the launcher), and try again.

CoC 7E Updates (from IanWard and Damned)

Made luck spending a game option
Fixed front page Dodge calculation at start and when DEX changed.
Fixed Lang- Own calculation when EDU changes.


JPG

[viresanimi]

So I got one of the guys on, to test this some more.

Both running M&M with no extensions in 3.3 test version. Cache cleared and the Heroes Handbook is NOT available for the player to load. The book you need to open in the activation window is missing. The Icon for the module was visible but sort of greyed out, with the "spiderweb" marker in the bottom left corner visible. As if I had shared an image. Same marker.

Funnily enough the Star Wars EotE library module (which loads up for pretty much anything) was available and could be loaded by the player. I had him stream his screen over skype and I can verify all the above.

Something is up with the Heroes Handbook Module I guess.


Vires Animi

[Andraax]

Do you have the Heroes Handbook marked with a green check on the GM's side?

[Trenloe]

What happens if the player double clicks library image in the module activation screen?

Ask the player to check their cache for the campaign and see if a .dat file with the module name has been created and how big it is.

[viresanimi]

Yes Andrax. I do not miss such things. I am just very good at breaking this ruleset in every test build.


I haven't had my tester double click the module icon. Never heard that that would activate it. As I mentioned the icon for the module was semi transparent / greyed out. Somehow I very much doubt it will work.

EDIT: I pestered my tester to look at it again. No luck on the double clicking. It works fine for localhost but something is preventing players from activating it. The campaign.dat fil is there now. 4.7mgs which seems oddly much. Can that be due to a shared image?

EDIT 2: I think I have cracked the issue.

Just to test things even further, I tried in a new campaign and then it worked fine. Through trial and error I think what happened to cause the problem in the first place is that I must have accidently tried to force load the campaign, by grabbing the "force load" button instead of the "allow" button. This ruleset still has the button for that, even though that is clearly not supported by FG anymore.
By closing the module. and using the "Block" option, then reapplying the "Allow" option and opening the module... voila... the module is activated for the players.

Perhaps the force load option should be removed?

Well. That was nice and obscure.


Thanks for the advice.

I was testing out the 3.3.0 beta and it seemed like the players would have been able to see when the NPC were rolling spell saving throws from the combat tracker to targetted PC's.

I do remember that as not happening in the past, but I cannot point to the exact version. So either I have a setting wrong, or somewhere along the way, they element got pear-shaped.

They should be able to shouldn't they?
It is their character doing the rolling technically, not the npc.

[Nickademus]

No, it's actually the GM doing the rolling. The GM's dice are used and only the GM sees the results. This is akin to a GM rolling behind the screen in a live game. Even though the character is making the save, a GM has the right to roll instead of a player (especially to hide the fact that a save is being made).

It was hidden previously; I use hidden saves quite a bit and have never had a player indicate that they knew they were making a save.

Very true John,

In my games, the DM rolls the saves for the NPC's spells. If not, it's too easy for players to then see the rolls and then discern the level of the caster they are facing. Meta-game issues can arise from the information disclosed. While this debate could be carried on endlessly on another forum, I for one, would prefer to describe the events happening to the players instead of announcing to the players .... "Make a DC 19 Dexterity Saving Throw vs. a spell". too much information is being disclosed....

Can you confirm the bug/error John? In 5e, try to have an NPC target a group of PC's and then roll the spell save from the Combat tracker. My players can see the rolls, can yours?

Speaking of 3.3.0... it fixes the extremely annoying issue of token placement on maps and facing status being completely messed up upon closing FG and then restarting it. Essentially you have to take a screenshot of your map before you close to use as a reference for the next time you launch FG and find yourself re-populating 85% of your tokens.

When 3.3.0 used to be 3.2.4 I was able to use it to address this nice little undocumented feature, but since 3.2.4 was changed to 3.3.0 nobody can connect unless they are also 3.3.0... which then screws up my players for other games they play in. Is there any way to hot fix a small patch to address this issue if 3.3.0 itself is going to be in a longer holding pattern as seems likely?

Yes, I can replicate this. Whatever options are chosen (hide GM dice rolls/show results to clients) the complete saving throw information is showing on the players side including the save being made, the DC and the result. Additionally the actual dice is showing rolling around rather than just a shadow dice.

You know, I run plenty of games on 3.2.4 - Castles and Crusades - and have never seen this happen. Is it a 5E thing?

I'd say yes but have noticed it in Rolemaster as well.

4e Items button and opening items from the parsed items.

It's currently still broken on test. Opening the "base' items like longsword, for example results in https://puu.sh/v9E4W/e157775768.jpg, with a blank item window, if opened from the button on the right. Opening it from the library works correctly, however.
Magic items DO open correctly from the button on the right, though. It's only the base items that have this issue.

Just breezing through the upcoming changes and additions. This stuff looks great. I am consistently impressed by how this company works so hard to keep making this product so deliciously good. I cheered when I saw that regeneration will now automatically cease after the appropriate damage is applied (for Pathfinder users, that is). Moon, you amazing fellow, thank you so much for all your hard work.

I noticed something tonight in my Rolemaster game. When I open the map as GM, if tokens are "missing" (but the square they are/were in still shows as linked to the CT), I have to drag tokens to the map again.

At this point, when players report they cannot see the tokens, they can however see the squares the tokens should be in because they do get the shading indicating linkage back to the CT.

To get the tokens to show up player side, all I have to do is rotate them one position and then they show up, each token "missing" needs to be rotated in this manner individually.

I had recently reported this issue and one of the Devs verified the issue, and it is fixed in what is now 3.3.0... which would be great if 3.3.0 was still 3.2.4.

[Andraax]

[CnC] Race and class records did not provide a lock button, or allow the name to be edited. Fixed.

Finally got around to playing with this. While I can now unlock and edit the custom "class" records to rename them, and I can drag and drop custom "abilities" I've created within a character sheet onto the class record, if I export class records those abilities all show up "blank" - the contents of the abilities do not export.

[Moon Wizard]

Just testing the 5E saving throw issue reported where players can see all saving throws.

If the saving throw is made by a PC that the player owns, then the rolls are shown on that PC machine. This is expected behavior at this point, since the PC is making the save.

I can verify that the save result is displayed on the player message if the Show GM Rolls is enabled, regardless of the show results option. Since the show results option was originally written for attack/damage, I don't think it was ever added. I'll see if I can update the show results option to work with saving throws.

Hmm... I never export so I didn't even consider this. My NPCs in the U1 remaster have "ability" links just like PCs do. I was hoping to get feedback on that once it goes live in the store (or is it already? we don't get notified of such things) but I highly suspect those would not export to a custom campaign... Dammit.

[Moon Wizard]

The ability links should still export, as long as the ability records are exported at the same time. I'm assuming they are custom story records you created, and dropped a link in the race record description field.

I created abilities records on a PC sheet (I don't know of any other way to create them...) Then I dragged and dropped them onto a class record. When I view them in the original campaign, they are fine.

Then I exported "Classes" to a module. In another campaign, I open the module. When I open the module in that new campaign and click on a link in the class, it comes up blank.

Original Campaign: 18509
New Campaign: 18510

Also, I just noticed that image links in class records do not export, either.

[Moon Wizard]

Yeah, they won't export from a PC sheet.

Links within formatted text fields do not chain export on purpose, as it would become very messy quickly and you would never be able to limit exports effectively. And in this case, I would be worried about data integrity, since you would be exporting information into the PC sheet space in the module.

You would have to include abilities as a story entry for now (and export that way), until someone gets a chance to build out abilities as a separately tracked list in the race/class records.

Lol. Just more an acknowledgement that updating the race records for CnC isn't on my radar right now, and there's not an official developer. So, it's going to be quite a while unless someone else steps up to take over CnC.

This will be the last updates unless a bug is found in the next couple days.

The other guys answered their methods, but for my NPCs in U1 Remaster... nope! I created <abilities> just like PCs use, and linked from there to the NPC sheet instead of writing an essay on the NPC sheet.

v3.3.0 has been pushed live, and I'm closing thread. If you have any further reports, please add a new thread to House of Healing.
