Issues with font in The Expance mocore ext

[Nockthar]

Hi,

I wanted to try the expance (MoreCore) on FGU, and I obviously have a FONT problem inherent to unity.

Here is the list of errors:

I suppose the solution to the problem is to edit the "graphics" files but I'm not sure I know what to do for Unity.

Here is an example of how it is coded:


<font name="list-empty-ps">
<fgffile name="graphics/fonts/italic-10.fgf" />
<ttf file="graphics/fonts/Candara.ttf" name="Candara SDF" size="15" italic="true" />
<color value="#26ff00" />
</font>

Please, help ;)

You might take it up with the Author of the extension.

FGU uses TTF fonts, while FGC uses FGF fonts.

The Extension will need to be updated with new fonts to work with FGU.

I think this is the thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?47508-MoreCore-Extension-for-Green-Ronin-s-upcoming-EXPANSE-RPG!) it came from.

This seems to be the Author's site (https://www.starshipsandsteel.com/2019/01/the-expanse-rpg.html), you might give him a heads up, so that s/he can hopefully fix it.

Just a quick follow up on this.

I am more or less aware any extensions I released throw massive errors now having not been written for FGU. At this time I have no plans or time to revisit them.

TBH: I am surprised they didn't make this backwards compatible. Oh well.

In general they did. But there were a few things that were so archaic about FGC that they had to throw them out. Fonts was one of them, and images were the other. Aside from that, the biggest compatibility issue actually had to do with comments in the XML; FGC allowed non standard commenting, FGU enforces the XML standard for commenting.

Ogedei if someoen were to update them could they send back to you for linking on your site or could they upload here?

OK. I got off my *** and had a look.

Updated the fonts - it should no longer throw the error. Could be sizing issues, found and fixes some, but haven't looked with a fine tooth comb as of yet.
Updated sidebar buttons to use the "wide button" format MoreCore is currently using with text labels.

There is a lot of extraneous graphics in the extension now, but I haven't had a chance to go through it and remove them.

I know the extension throws sizing errors when you open the sheet. Doesn't affect any usability that I can tell.

Let me know if there is anything else, or if the fixes didn't take for some reason.
