Hello guys. I started to get this error when I load my campaigns and people when they join get a bunch of errores too. Any idea what might be causing this? Thank you.
Im using FG Classic btw.

Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_gamesystem.lua"]:41: attempt to call field 'useFGUDiceValues' (a nil value)
Ruleset Warning: chat: Could not find icon (icon)

Cheers!

EDIT: Solved, just looked the updated version on (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...53-5E-Enhancer) and fixed it. Thanks all for the help!!!

Most script errors are caused by incompatible/old extensions.

What ruleset are you using?
What extensions are you running?

I'm running Combat Enhancer and its extensions, the Token Helper. That's pretty much it. The ruleset is 5e

It started to happen after the last 2 updates. Before I never had any errors.

Community extensions don't update themselves - so they need to be checked for compatibility, especially after a FG update.

So, make sure you've visited the product page/thread for each extension you're running and get the latest version - install these. See if you're still getting any errors in your campaign.

If you are still getting errors, the steps to check what might be causing script errors are:
1) Create a brand new campaign without any extensions. Make sure that works OK.
2) Add in the extensions you're using one-by-one into this brand new campaign, and load the campaign after enabling each extension - see which extension/s cause the error.

Thanks, I will check this and report back. I'm pretty sure Combat Enhancer is no longer being update, and I don't know of any other updated alternative to it.

5E Combat Enhancer (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?47146-5e-Combat-Enhancer-(built-on-retired-GPL-Advanced-Kombat-extension)) has never been supported with FGU. And it is no longer being supported by the developer in FGC but a few folks in teh community I think have been posting updates to it.

5E Enhancer (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51353-5E-Enhancer)was written by the same developer to port most of the functionality over to work with FGU and I don't think it was ever intended to work with FGC. But as you noticed, it is not currently supported either. I believe the dev decided it was too much work to keep up with all the changes to FGU. You may check the thread and see if any of the other users of the extension can help resolve your issue or you might just have to stop using the extension until it is updated and supported once again.

Thanks for the heads up. I was browsing through the post and I saw an updated version of the extension by another user. I already asked in that forum post to the guy that made the updated version, but do you know if I can replace the new .ext files with the other ones in the extensions folder of FGC? Thanks and sorry to bother you. Im kind of new to FG

Personally I would move the old version into an archive or history file. If you overwrite it with the new one and the new one doesn't work, then you don't have a backup.

Weird, anyway, look up at LordEntrails' post and search there. I used the updated version by one of the guys there (look in the last 4 or 5 pages and you'll see the post). It worked for me
