Same here as well - I'm also getting this error with Kit n' Kaboodle - but when I isolate to one or the other, it still exisits; so its an issue for Friend Zone specifically, at the very least.

I get the same error messages since the 4.5 update. Tried with no other ext loaded. Tried it with a virgin 5e campaign, just friendzone loaded and get the same error.

MeAndUnique: Hey folks, sorry, life has been hectic as of late. Between work, family emergencies, and so on I've not had energy/time to even play a TTRPG since early December let alone keep up with extension development as much as I'd like. The latest FG update made a fair number of under-the-hood adjustments that has changed the way several of my extensions need to interact with the rulesets; good changes overall though the timing sucks for having to do a fair bit of work to just get back to square one.
In particular, I've managed to make a slight amount of progress on KNK to figure out how to make errors go away from the console, though most of the added tabs still aren't working as intended.

Good to see he is still working on it but will be a bit of time.

I know this is being worked on and you may already be aware, but I've been trying to power through with "/console skip".
Unfortunately I've got a Beastheart and an artificer with a pet, so Friend Zone is indispensable.
It looks like Saving Throws from the cohort's sheet pick up the owner's PB correctly, but skills don't seem to currently.

Since no one shared it yet in the above, it is also affecting NPCs not just PCs. Here is the error message I get as a DM when I open a new environment with only friendzone loaded and then open an NPC:
60196
Chat on left verifies the only extension is FriendZone, and you can see the errors and the one NPC open behind/through them. Hope it helps with debugging.

Yeah I've had to disable the extension for now, as it sends the error notification every time an NPC sheet is opened by the GM.

The functionality seems to mostly be there still... I've been keeping Friendzone / Kitnkaboodle loaded but just using "/console skip" to suppress the error messages.

The most recent FG update has created conflicts with this extension. Error codes appear when opening NPC sheets

I love this extension, it really helped out the Druid with all his wild shape and summoning shenanigans.
This looks to be having issues in TEST. Passing the info along.
There are two sets of errors I currently see, it looks like these may have been 1st spotted in beta test by nephranka.
The main set is when a DM opens any monster/npc record (as several folk have mentioned). This appears to be related to FGU/coreRPG/5E changes in the way new tabs are added to 5E NPC sheets (I think MeAndUnique has this code in there to allow cohorts to have cohorts see #239 in this thread) lines 11-27 of campaign/record_npc.xml. I couldn't find any coreRPG or 5E examples of how to cleanly merge new tabs into NPC records. The good news is that if you don't have any cohorts with cohorts then simply ignoring the errors (with "/console skip" as I think rocketvaultgames suggested) will work fine (I just commented these lines out for the moment until MeAndUnique gets more time).
The 2nd more minor one is when I right-click an NPC's 'hp' box on their record it complains about a missing radial icon spell_heal (it was phased out in Feb 2023 Icon: "spell_heal" -> "roll_heal" line 36 of campaign/record_npc.xml).
So in summary it looks like character-cohorts might still be functioning (but not cohort-cohorts).

Ok so trying to follow the thread and like you friends zone is broken and I know the developer is trying to fix but is pretty tied up? Hopefully you can fix with the copilot AI. Quick question once the extension is fixed will it become a FG update or I would need to reload it again? I am not very technical so sorry for the simple question

It should only overwrite the file if FZ is updated on the forge, which is what you want anyhow.

KNK still works for items. It's not working for spells, but you can do a workaround. Drag the spell to a character and edit its actions there, and then drag it back to the spells record list, and delete the old spell. Likewise, you can create new spells/powers in a character and drag them to the spells records list. As for the errors, just use the "/console skip" command in the chatbox to have FGU not pop up the console for errors.

I haven't had time to get more specifics but it allows NPC sheet changes with items, etc. I think it has been flagging for a month or so now.

Neither. Your screenshot looks like a template for one of the new summon spells. FG can't add YOUR PB to another creature. You have to do that yourself by clicking the lock and editing the fields. The extension just allows for easy access and control of the creature by the player... at least that's my guess.

This ext has a feature that is meant to do that, as you can see in the screenshot he does it for the other stuff, but some reason the skills is not working.

Happened to me today as well and i think it has something to do with the new tab "Log" where they moved the fields "Adventure", "DCI number" and "Faction" from "Notes" to this new tab.
The extension might be in conflict with the number of tabs and should be an easy fix.
Please ignore this post, i was making a confusion.

FZ allows players control over the NPC as if they were a player. So it gives them control over editing, moving on the map, passing turns, doing attacks etc.
Players never are able to add things to the CT (not even their own toons).

The tabs in the CoreRPG ruleset layer and most of the store rulesets was updated to use text, instead of icons, in the last CoreRPG update. The FZ extension was replacing tabs, but needed to be updated to adapt.

Looking at the code you are going to need the following trait on the creature
Primal Bond: You can add your proficiency bonus to any ability check or saving throw that the beast makes.
Required for ability checks but also works for saves and those don't need the (+ PB). I haven't tested it but might fix it for you

Thank you for the replies.
This is something that did work for a long time after the Beastheart came out (without Primal Bond explicitly listed as a trait on the companion - I think just the "(+ PB)" syntax was enough to make it work).
I tried adding it and there is no change.
Currently all saves add PB correctly except Con. No idea why Con is different... and none of the skills add PB. All of this did work correctly before March I believe? I've tried different syntax and each of the saves/skills individually by removing the others to no avail.

I might not have explained it well...
This extension (to the best of my knowledge) makes it so a cohort of a PC (i.e. Beastheart's Companion) automatically add's the PC's proficiency bonus with the following syntax (at least it used to):
Str +2 (+ PB), Dex +3 (+ PB), Con +2 (+ PB), Wis +1 (+ PB)
Acrobatics +3 (+ PB), Perception +1 (+ PB), Perception (smell) +1 (+ PB), Intimidation +3 (+ PB), Investigation -3 (+ PB)
The "(+ PB)" should automatically reference the PC's PB.
Currently it does seem to work for Str, Dex, Int, Wis, and Cha, but not for Con for some reason.
It also doesn't process any of the skills (fails to add PC's PB altogether).

I'm telling you that isn't how it does it. From the code it will look at saves with (+ PB) but it won't look at checks. If the trait is there with that text it will add the commanders PB to both traits and saves

OK, just tested again with only Friendzone 1.3.2-rc1 loaded.
This is a Beastheart Companion from MCDM (not beastmaster ranger from Tasha's)
Companion (NPC Cohort) PB = 2
Caregiver (PC) PB = 4
With the Notes Tab, Saving Throws field, and Skills field, blank and no Traits:
Clicking the little "S" circle for Saves gives:
Str: Uses Caregiver PB
Dex: Uses Caregiver PB
Con: Uses no PB
Int: Uses no PB
Wis: Uses Caregiver PB
Cha: Uses no PB
Adding the following to Saving Throws field (as they had been for over a year): Str +2 (+ PB), Dex +3 (+ PB), Con +2 (+ PB), Wis +1 (+ PB)
Same results as above... so it doesn't seem (as you suggest) that "(+ PB)" does anything at all.
Without a trait or anything in notes, what is making it pull the Caregiver PB for Str/Dex/Wis, but not for Con/Int/Cha? Caregiver is proficient with Str/Wis but not Dex for what it is worth.
Regarding Skills, it does not pick up the "(+ PB)" as you suggest it shouldn't. I'm quite certain this used to work. I remember when this character joined in September of 2022 that I meticulously tested everything before handing it over to the player and it worked then. I can't say exactly when it stopped working, but definitely was noticed in March of 2024.
I went back and scanned all the entries in this thread.
Post #64 seems to indicate that +PB should work in other fields despite not mentioning Skills directly: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?70026-5E-Friend-Zone&p=629966&viewfull=1#post629966
Post #98 mentions +PB to Skills: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?70026-5E-Friend-Zone&p=635346&viewfull=1#post635346
Posts #185/186 talk about Skills: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?70026-5E-Friend-Zone&p=658463&viewfull=1#post658463
If this isn't something that is going to get fixed, I will just hard-code the numbers and try to remember to change at level-up, but I truly think this used to work and was broken along the way somewhere.
Regardless. I appreciate your time and efforts for everything you do with these extensions. I would not be using Fantasy Grounds if it wasn't for extensions like this.
(Bonus FYI: Attacks and Armor Class do pick up "+ PB" correctly.)

Im sorry to ask this, but there isnt something that smiteworks can do to allow rhagelstrom to update the forge version ? So that it can be update automatically in the program. I mean, it is a free extension and the last post made by MeAndUnique was in may, this extension and Kit'N'Kaboodle are core extension in a lot of fantasy tables.

Are you getting errors with only Friendzone installed? I'm currently not getting any if that's the only extension activated. One of my MNM extensions is causing an error. Trying to figure out what one.

Never mind I'm wrong. I updated Fantasy Grounds again and its now throwing Script execution error.

you are right, its not friend zone- its constitutional ammendments that creates the errorws with the charsheet of npcs if you use the death saves rules and the wound fields placed at the wrong overlay with type of creature now...

No you don’t. If a new update comes out from the forge it will correctly overwrite this one. So leave it how it is now.

Think I found a bug while giving my druid the Wildifire Spirit cohort. Reckon it has to do with the extension not being able to automate the values of the sheet in relation to character's values. Doesn't seem to stop the tokens from working, but just a heads up.

I am able to confirm that this happens when adding the Wildfire Spirit (Template) from TCoE. It looks like having text in the hitpoint field is what is causing the issue.
For now, just make a copy of the template NPC and change the hit point field from "(see notes)" to a number. Then use this new NPC as your cohort.

It will probably never be updated on the Forge due to the original creator dropping. Any extensions made by MeAndUnique are being updated by rhagelstrom through his github. See the post previous to your for a link to the most recent update. Check back here (and to the other extension forums for MeAndUnique's works) to get manual updates.

Make sure you are not subscribed to an older version, and that you don't have an extra or duplicate in your extensions folder.
BushViper
October 1st, 2024, 03:06
Yes, it's a good idea to periodically review your extension folder because creators occasionally make a slight change to the name of an extension and you end up with multiple copies of the same extension, but FGU defaults to the oldest version instead of the updated file.

You're right, it doesn't give the error when it's only Friend Zone. I posted because when I removed Friend Zone, no other extension was giving an error.
Tested it one by one and it is a failed interaction between Friend Zone and Kingdoms and Warfare extension. I'll post on K&W forum thread as well, but I'll admit I have no idea which one should update the code

Ahhh, now I found the problem. As I don't own Kingdoms and Warfare, I can't officially support it. But I'm fairly sure I figured out what the problem was and corrected it. Please let us know if the next release of FriendZone (rc7) does not resolve the issue for you.

rhagelstrom
October 25th, 2024, 16:38
Friend Zone is a dead ext. Pets is updated via the forge to make life easy. To avoid any sort of confusion or any sort of forge problems of having an ext named the same as another it was rebranded. Use Pets going forward is the recommendations. There may be some conflicts with other exts immediately, but the authors should have those fixed fairly quickly

This is good news! Thank you for your work. A pet or summoned entity is an important element to play many times, and I found it odd that FGU doesn't implement this on its own. However, I did always find it odd that the tab is labeled Cohorts but not the extension; can you label the tab as "Pets?" It is good news that this is alive and well!
