Situation: was using the original 5E Roll for Initiative (5e Request Roll Extension by Stalker) but two weeks ago it stopped loading the PCs and and I could not get it working (multiple restarts; load w/o extension, close, load with extension).
So I grabbed the refreshed version (Request Rolls from Players by Houndy) and used it tonight - seemed to work like a charm in-game, but there was a bug when players connected.
For the first time all the players got an error on entry:
Network Notice: Client ruleset download complete.
Runtime Notice: s'Local Dice Tower Extension 5E ruleset supported.'
Script Error: [string "scripts/rfia_extension_manager_lua"]:32: attempt to index a nil value
(I presume the first two are background and only appear because of the script error).
Of course it's possible it's another extension (running about a dozen) but this is the only one that changed week-to-week.
It did not seem to impact the game - but if there is a way to figure out the bug I'd like to.
Now the weird part that I'm not sure is related. Via the Advanced Effects extension was trying to code a Cloak of Protection so it would auto-add to the combat tracker.
Simplest example: PC who is not proficient with STR saves; 10 STR (so no bonus).
The only reason I'm wondering if it's the 'request rolls' extension it because I'd not seen the popup before when rolling a Save from the character sheet as while logged-on as DM (though same result as a player)
When I roll the vanilla save from the first tab on the character sheet, it would roll a d20 with no modifiers (expected result).
As my Advanced Effect was not working (reacting as below) I removed it and manually added an effect in the Combat Tracker to see how it would react. I added:
SAVE:1
So in Combat Tracker it's displaying "Effects: SAVE:1"
When I roll the STR save after applying this effect the chat box shows:
[SAVE]Strength[EFFECTS +1][EFFECTS+1] and show a +2 modifier to the roll. So something is counting twice. I tried with AC:1 and it worked normally.
So I may have multiple things going on here - but any tips to start narrowing down where to look would be great.
Thanks
