So as illustrated here in this screen shot Not sure if the table or the piece of equipment is stated wrong. Cuir Bouille ac on the Item is listed as +2. Table shows as a +4 other data seems to be inline with the Armaments Table.51129

Hello,

I just got the new books from the Forge (Players handbook and Monsters & Treasures) and set up a new game with unity but my players keep getting kicked out of the session. The error they are getting is Unknown Ruleset name. I put a picture of their log below.

Are they completely updated?

[dungerotis]

Are they completely updated?

Yup, and I even started a brand new game. Still no luck.

[JohnD]

Would you like me to try and connect to see if I get the same thing? I was just on with someone 20 minutes ago; I connected to him fine and he connected to me fine.

PM me your server password at JohnD#1818 in Discord.

Attached is what I see when loading the ruleset on my side;

For anyone else; I was able to connect to dungerotis' FGU instance.

I have the same ruleset and though you were able to log on, I tried to log on from my laptop with another account and I keep getting kicked out and the unknown ruleset error. It's very frustrating. My players can log on using other rulesets like 5E, so if I can't figure it out, I'm going to move on.

The other error I get at the top of the log is unable to save file to cache file.

[Moon Wizard]

It sounds like something is blocking the FG application from saving the player cache information on the computers that are having the issue. This usually happens when users install the FG data folder to a non-default location that the logged in user does not have permissions to modify.

You can try deleting the "cache" subfolder in the FG data folder on the player machine(s) where the issue is occurring (while FG is closed); and see if that fixes the issue.

Otherwise, you'll need to pull the full logs using the "Compile Logs" button on the console that pops open when you get the error to get more information on what is happening with that player instance.

Feedback; give us the new covers of the CKG and PHB as graphics files we can use for table background.

Feedback; give us the new covers of the CKG and PHB as graphics files we can use for table background.

Speaking of which, which covers are for the new Bestiary (for those of who have both the old files and these new ones)? The Red Dragon swooping down on the archer is the old one right? The Chimera is the new one right? I can't find copyrights or version numbers in either Bestiary and now I can't remember for certain which one I had before.

You want the one with the cover matching the cover in the Forge. We are working on updating our products on the forge with a release year so it's easier to see. Thanks for your input!

Neither match.

[stefou]

I'm really enjoying the new ruleset & FGU.

Feedback:

In the party sheet's main tab:

Under ability check for the party. It would be great to have a CL section to input the CL of the party roll. That way, once sent to the group chat, the actual success or failure of the group check could be displayed.

thx!

[Baufrin]

I noticed that when the race elf is added to a character sheet dex increases but stamina doesn't decrease.

[ProfDogg]

OK, adding in custom Effects... OK, first entry (no matter what) I add into the box creates some kind of scrolling overlapping field... The second one duplicates the 1st entry but can be edited. I applied a condition that I created to an NPC (ABIL:-2 strength) and it essentially tripled the penalty to -6. I applied another condition (ATK:-10) and it became -19??? I think it's adding it from my base entry (which is now covered up with characters) plus the actual applied condition with probably some weird formula tweak of some kind embedded. I kind of give up right now trying to sort it out... Look at my screen-shot when you can and compare with adding in your own conditions to see the same. 52114

Also, just tried it by manually adding the condition in the tracker. It worked fine. My work-around is to keep a Note file with the conditions listed so I can copy/paste on the fly. But it would be nice to be able to just click a button from the Effects box.

Adventures Backpack has several spell links that connect to the PHB 8th ed (if the book is open). Except they don't... 52307

This has been fixed, just waiting for it to get pushed on the Forge

[turelus]

Not sure if it's intended or not, but the Baldric Belts in FG module are marked as containers rather than normal clothing items as they're shown in the PHB.

[Noonien]

Will there be one or more adventure modules for low level (2-4) in the next future ?

[Daleus]

Haven't played in a while (I don't know what update might have caused these problems), but in my last two sessions, some errors.

1/ When I add NPCs to the Combat Tracker, FGU throws errors that appear to be related to the faction of the NPCs. Throws error on both DM and Player clients.

2/ The combat tracker no longer respects the option setting that determines if the Combat Tracker will show actual HPs or just a Status. When I add NPCS/Critters to the Combat Tracker, the options setting is ignored and the combatants are shown with the HPs, regardless of the setting, and I have to cycle the option setting through all options and back to Status to get the setting to show properly.

[GregRex]

I just ran C1 Mortality of Green. We had a blast. Small bug to report... unless a missed a secret reveal somwhere.

Quagmire the troll was created with Hill Giant stats, I suspect it should have been Troll(Hill).

[scoot138]

Several items entries in the PHB and AB are missing currency type for their value. Examples are Rhomphaia, Naginata, and Axe, Bone

[scoot138]

Chat input field is hidden behind the GM and language drop downs on the chat window after recent updates, only on CK side and not on player side.

58737

[scottgeg]

I am having the same issue as above, the GM and language drop downs are over the input bar in the chat window.

[Hapa]

Same re: chat input. Also the labels on the sidebar is quite hard to read with the default theme.

[scoot138]

Thank you for the fix!

[Hapa]

There's an issue on the Inventory tab/page of the PC sheet. The alignment is off so this is making it so you can't see the Edit button.

[ProfDogg]

Have located two separate issues tonight... Spells in the character sheet for NPCs have font alignment issues when adding new spells. It's workable but a real pain...

Also, I opened the mod for Of Gods and Monsters module and the entries are blank... Also, got some error popups...

[GregRex]

10/26/2023 Bug Fixes and Updates:

-PC Record Inventory iadd and iedit button anchor issues fixed
-PC Record Spells Spell List anchoring fixed
-General Theming clean up

Bug fix focus for next release is deprecated dice drop functions on the CT

[GregRex]

@ProfDogg, I didn't think of it until just now but the NPC Spells should have been resolved with my PC record fix.

There's always going to be '"mysteries"... Regardless --- Thank you!!!

Just checked Greg... The NPC sheet is good now... Also thank you for fixing the font... That's very easy on my old eyes now... Much, much obliged...

Hi all, I tentatively took over to help maintain the ruleset and help with the code updates for the C&C ruleset on the Forge (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/crafter/253/view-profile). After pushing my first minor updates I feel comfortable enough to take over and continue to work on the ruleset.

I started a Trello board and did my best to track down outstanding bugs and feature requests: https://trello.com/b/k2xwG6t7/fg-castles-and-crusades-ruleset

My primary sources are the Fantasy Grounds Forums C&C Bug Reports and Feedback (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?72294-Castles-amp-Crusades-Rule-Set-%96-Help-Bug-Reports-and-Feedback) (here) and the C&C Suggestion Box's (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?73340-Castles-amp-Crusades-Suggestion-Box) Idea Informer: http://cnc-fg.idea.informer.com/

There are probably various reports across different Discord servers ( I scrolled around looking) and I may have missed something applicable to the existing Forge Ruleset. Please let me know if I missed something.

Bug fixes are a priority for me right now. I will work on feature requests and quality-of-life improvements as I become more immersed in the code.

Trollzah!
Greg

1. When combat tracker is opened multiple messages appear in chat. " button_ctentry_tokenvis - DEPRECATED - 2022-08-16 Contact ruleset/extention/forge author" etc.

2. When party sheet is used to target on combat tracker message appears in chat "windowclass: ct_targets - DEPRECATED - 2022-08-16...."

I've moved this post to the bug reporting thread for the C&C ruleset. Hopefully the devs will see it soon and address the issue.

[ROB THE TALL]

Thank you for moving it to the proper spot.

[GregRex]

@ROB THE TALL, thank you for your report. I got the major fixes, I believe, in and live. You can read the general updates here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?72292-Castles-amp-Crusades-Rule-Set-%96-Official-Announcements-amp-Updates&p=704524#post704524

[ROB THE TALL]

Thank you for your work and quick response. That bug is fixed unfortunately however, I managed to stumble upon a similar one. When I have a NPC targeted in the combat tracker and click on the spell description the chat puts out "sub_ref_header - DEPRECATED - 2023-06-27 - Contact ruleset/extension/forge author, frame_ref_content - DEPRECATED - 2023-06-27 - Contact ruleset/extension/forge author". Again thank you for your work and happy holidays.

[GregRex]

Thanks ROB, I was able to reproduce. I'll add it to my list of upcoming fixes.

[BangsNaughtyBits]

Potential cosmetic BUG. When using a dark FG Theme, the character sheet has a few issues. On the first tab of the character sheet, the ability labels, Strength, Dexterity, etc... are hard-coded black text and difficult to read with themes like FG Dark or FG Modern Dark. Completely opposite, on the first and second tabs the AC: Body and AC: Head values are placed on golden graphics. Unfortunately, the text is modified by the theme and lighter text in a dark theme is nearly illegible.

[TheFastEddy]

Hi ;
I found a wee bug in the spells department. Unseen servant has the Secure Shelter description in stead of unseen servant.
Cheers

If it appears I missed something please let me know in this thread.

Also, if there are features you'd like to see I should be in a position after the FG v4.5.0 release to start working on new code. TLG uses their own Idea Informer for the Fantasy Grounds ruelset. I started parsing in the top votes to my Trello Board. You can submit or upvote new features here: http://cnc-fg.idea.informer.com/

that brings up a 404

[GregRex]

@scoot138, Yep, it's gone dark in the last 12 hours. I'll reach out to the owner later today if it doesn't come back up. Thanks for reporting!

[scoot138]

Unable to access the pictures and tokens menus from the PC character sheet, it still just brings up the select portrait window. It is functioning properly for NPCs

[scoot138]

Blood splat and death markers are no longer showing up on tokens
