Strange character appears on damage rolls in chat window

[Padre Moto]

I've noticed a strange character appearing where the damage total should appear in the chat window.

It sort of looks like a poorly written "K" in stick figure fashion, instead of a numeric value that normally appears across from the blood droplet icon, the character name and Total.

Anyone else noticing this?

Can you show a screen shot?

At a guess you have a non standard/ANSI character in your damage field.

Here you go.

I have no idea how it got in there?

Thanks for any help ronnke!

I believe that might an issue with the skin/theme. Try disable the GURPSCore skin and see if the problem still occurs. I have seen weird stuff with the skin and FGU and it seems to change from update to update.

[Padre Moto]

So I removed the GURPS Core extension, and the character remains, just looking more like a K on a white background now.

Likely as you say, it's a conflict with FGU. Nothing I can't live with ;)

That's a frame issue. Make sure you're running the latest version of FGU.

Hi Moon Wizard,

I tried an update.

The same image appears. I'm attaching the screen shots of the main screen and in-game screen.

Padre Moto open the ruleset GURPS.pak and overwrite the file for this file, the location is in scripts.
Rename the .ext to .lua before overwrite.
And tell me if, works :D

Here are the correction Ronnke, just delete this line:

ActionsManager.registerModHandler("damage", modRoll);

[ronnke]

Here are the correction Ronnke, just delete this line:

ActionsManager.registerModHandler("damage", modRoll);

That will not do anything to fix the graphics/frames issue, as the modRoll handler does not currently do anything.


function onInit()
ActionsManager.registerModHandler("damage", modRoll);
ActionsManager.registerResultHandler("damage", onDamage);
end

function modRoll(rSource, rTarget, rRoll)
end

Um, lol, do I try yako2020's fix or wait out for another solution.

No rush on my end, just curious as to what to try.

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

Just to say, my fix work's in both FG...I try and if Ronnke see and test he will see that works.

If no rush, then wait. I have found the issue. I will upload a fix soon.

It's not anything to do with the handler. The issue relates to the setting of the dicedisplay table field in the MessageData structure of the Comm API. If there are no dice defined, then it will glitch out. The fix is to not set the dicedisplay value.

rMessage.dice = {};
rMessage.dicedisplay = 0;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(rMessage);

Awesome, and many thanks ronnke!

[RevenantBob]

I noticed this issue too, but figured someone would get around to it. Thanks!
