Test Release v3.3.5

[Moon Wizard]

FG v3.3.5 is now in beta testing. The plan is to push the new version in about 3-4 weeks.

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.

Thanks,
JPG

Please keep "roll all" initiative functionality for the start of every round.

[Moon Wizard]

The Roll All Initiatives option is still there; I just changed NPC/PC rolling to rolling based on faction (friendly/non-friendly). This is because some groups use friendly NPC records, and enemy PC records. It makes more sense considering that usage.

Don't understand the first one, but happy to see the second.

If you add an effect that has a die roll modifier, the die rolled for that effect will display in purple.

https://s3.silent-tower.org/images/purple.jpg

[Moon Wizard]

Yeah, it's a way to quickly identify bonus dice which come from effects. It's been part of the D&D effects system for a while, so I added it in while I was adding the INIT tag.

Also, I updated the INIT tag to ignore Dexterity effects, since I originally borrowed the INIT code from 3.5E assuming it was similar.

[lostsanityreturned]

Am I reading this correctly, are the 5e initiative roll options changing to,

- All
- Friendly
- Non-Friendly

Does this include neutral in non-friendly or is it purely the hostile grouping? (meaning, is this just a name change or has the function changed)

[Zacchaeus]

Neutral NPCs are included in non-friendly

Would being on the Test version impact the download of any newly purchased DLC? I bought the C&C Elemental Spells pack, newly released, this morning and after several updates it is not showing up when I go to open a new module.

[Moon Wizard]

Very unlikely. Pop a quick note off to [email protected]. Most likely, there’s a store configuration error, or a hiccup in the poor duct being registered to your account. Doug and James will have to review to see what’s happening.

Ok well everything says I've paid for It, just not the downloader. Even the FG store shows it as owned.

Patiently waiting.

3.3.5 C&C - Cannot access Castle Keeper's Guide in my library. Book is open/loaded with green checkmark.

Removed checkmark (no longer has stuff players may want to access). Still does not show up in GM's list of open books.

Now, the Player version of the CKG I can see and open and use... just not the CK's portion of the CKG.

If you are talking about 5e this issue was fixed in v3.3.4 and it is working in the current test build. Make sure that you are doing your testing without any extensions.

[Mortar]

Ran into this today. Occurred in both an old campaign I had been working on, and a fresh campaign. C&C ruleset, only module loaded is the CKG remaster I am working on. Click on a link to a rollable table, and get the following error:

Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/table_main.lua"]:143: createWindow: Unable to create window

22739


The same table opens fine from the Tables sidebar button.

[ianmward]

Not sure if this is new, but it happens in the latest version.
If you create a new effect in the Effects dialog, but don't put any text, then press the effect button, it gives the following error in the console:


Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_effect.lua"]:842: attempt to index local 'rEffect' (a nil value)

Looking at the code:
function decodeEffect(rRoll)

function decodeEffect(rRoll)
local rEffect = decodeEffectFromText(rRoll.sDesc, rRoll.bSecret);
if aEffectVarMap["nDuration"] then
rEffect.aDice = rRoll.aDice;
rEffect.nMod = rRoll.nMod;
rEffect.nDuration = ActionsManager.total(rRoll);
end
if rEffect and fCustomOnEffectRollDecode then
fCustomOnEffectRollDecode(rRoll, rEffect);
end
return rEffect;
end

decodeEffectFromText is returning nil if there is no text... makes sense, but we need to handle it, as you do just a couple of lines later.

Mortar/JohnD,

I have forwarded both of your issues to Talyn. As far as I know, he was the only one making CKG updates to the Test version.

I've pushed an updated Test build with the latest data in our source control, in case some of his updates hadn't gotten pushed already.

Also, please note that my planned release date for v3.3.5 is April 17. I was going to make it a week earlier, but I don't want to impact FG Con.

[5E/4E/PFRPG/3.5E/CnC/d20M] NPC/PC initiative rolling via CT menu changed to Friendly/Non-Friendly initiative rolling.


I don't suppose there's any chance we could have both options? I much prefer the PC/NPC division.

Edit: To expand. I can roll NPC initiatives, and let the players do their own and all is well. But if I roll unfriendly initiative, and the players do their own, friendly initiatives would then have to be done manually.

Yea I can't see the benefit of this change to be honest. Seems it's more niche than the old way.

[poobah_1]

Sorry for late reply. I was doing it wrong....seems to be working....

[Moon Wizard]

Spite/High Druid,

I was originally thinking it would be a better use case to be able to roll by faction, but rethinking this based on your feedback and thinking through it again. I’ll take a look at it next week.

Thanks,
JPG

[JML]

I must admit I'm hesitant about this initiative grouping. May be you could keep it as an option or replace with "owned" when on the GM side, which would group all that the players don't manage.

[Blackfoot]

There's an issue in the Pathfinder 3.3.4 ruleset with NPC spells.
If you set up an NPC as having 'Sorcerer' type spells it does not give you the option to 'prepare' them.. but when you lock the NPC the spell class disappears because no spells are prepared. You need to switch to a 'Wizard' type spellcaster, prep the spells, then switch back to sorcerer in order to correct the issue. Obviously this is a bug.

[spite]

4e Ruleset, melee weapon damage details can only be 1/2 or 2x. The standard value is no longer available. https://puu.sh/zTGzO/3821176985.png
Clicking it just switches between the two. This has only happened with this release.

[Moon Wizard]

Blackfoot,

I'm not able to recreate the issue. Can you walk me through the steps to see this issue in a new NPC, and verify whether you have any extensions installed?

The behavior I'm seeing is that checkboxes for each spell are greyed out and empty when in Preparation mode while caster type is set to Spontaneous. When in Combat mode, the spells are visible with a number of checkboxes equal to the spell slots available. (This is also the view when record is locked, i.e. Combat.)

I'll verify that it isn't an extension conflict.

[Blackfoot]

OK.. so the problem seems to be limited to 'new' NPCs. (ones created during the current session) and occurs with no extensions loaded.
It happens for both sorcerer and psionic types whose spells have not been prepped as a wizard.
Once you reload the campaign.. that NPC seems to work properly.

[Moon Wizard]

Blackfoot,

I'm still not able to recreate. Here are the steps I followed:

* Launch PFRPG campaign
* Open NPCs campaign list
* Right click on list, and select Create Item menu option.
* Click on Spells tab in new NPC record.
* Click on Edit button.
* Click on Add Spell Class button.
* Set name of new spell class to "Sorcerer"
* Click on book icon for Prepared caster to change to star icon for Spontaneous caster.
* Open Spells campaign list.
* Drag "Acid Arrow" spell onto new spell class entry.
* Hit OK button on the popup dialog to assign the spell to L2.
* Lock the NPC record using the lock button in upper right of NPC window.
* The Acid Arrow spell is visible with a single check box.

How are you doing it differently?

Thanks,

Is there a reason this is being untied from hiding GM rolls? I know for one this will be a huge pain in skill and saves and whatnot that are performed outside of combat as myself and a number of DMs I know don't add characters to combat trackers for non combat situations often, who also play with GM rolls shown.
Just curious what the rationale is for this change, or why it's not tied to the Show GM rolls options

[Moon Wizard]

That was just how it shook out with the implementation, but I can see your point for non-combat stuff. I left that implementation because my original thinking is that NPC rolls outside of combat would usually be behinds the scene stuff. Let me think on it, and push an update tomorrow.

[shadzar]

Many DMs prefer to roll dice int he open, so forcing it to be hidden from the players without the ability to disable and give full disclosure of the die rolls is a bad idea and will run those DMs away from using FG.

it would take the ability right to choose how to run your own game away from the DMs.

I know it's a little late, but any chance the labels on the 3.5 character sheet (and mini version thereof) could get names so they can be deleted in a merge? Trying to do an extension for Wounds/Vitality, and there are some things (like non-lethal damage) that need removing. It might make making extensions for other variant rules easier too.
