Broken Rulesets/Extensions for 4.1.14 - Is it possible to rollback?

[DraaGulFireclaw]

Hey, as the title says, the recent update broke the Genesys Ruleset I'm using for FGU.

Is it possible to rollback to an earlier version of FGU? The PREV build branch appears to be the same as LIVE.

I keep getting errors such as

[3/5/2022 8:37:03 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "scripts/manager_string.lua"]:358: attempt to call field 'isDiceString' (a nil value)

when trying to reset the round, or to go "Next Actor" when on certain slots in the combat tracker. I also get it when trying to open images (maps) with NPCs and PCs on it.

Another error message is: [3/5/2022 8:35:20 PM] s'ActorManager.getActor - DEPRECATED - 2021-01-01 - Use resolveActor'

The "DEPRECATED ACTOR" thing pops up when trying to drag effects on people in the combat tracker or rolling initiative. It is very strange.

Thanks for any help!

If the author is not maintaining the ruleset (or extension) with updates to FGU then it is likely a dead ruleset/extension as someone must actively keep them up to date.

Not unless you have made your own backup of your installation and data folders. But ten you will never be able to update.

With the amount of updates required recently, it's extremely difficult to keep up with the maintenance of community rulesets where we're developing in and around busy work and family lives on a hobby basis.

This is not in the patch notes list of Ruleset Updates (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filelibrary/patchnotes_ruleset.html), so the developer probably hasn't any idea that the underlying CoreRPG code has been changed and deprecated.

The ActorManager function was deprecated some time ago. The isDiceString function error is the recent update.

The ActorManager function was deprecated some time ago. The isDiceString function error is the recent update.Yes. Last February. The ActorManager warning message is just showing up now because they are getting closer to enforcing the (year-old) deprecation.

bmos (thanks again!) solved the problem by fixing the ruleset.

Here is the link to the ruleset (and the fixed genesys.pak):
