I posted one in another thread, and have no idea how to move it here :eek: The problem i describe seems to be with preexisting SPC's from a previous campaign.

I looked it over, you can copy the contents into a reference manual builder page and then use the magic wand tool to convert the text and then copy and paste it back into the background.

You may get some errors related to the link tags. It looks like it copied the text over with the XML tags.

Apologies, the control was changed to allow parsing out dice rolls within the trait. The text can be copied but links won't be able to be used in the description of the trait. You would be better to set up in the notes tab the link.

So.. over time I made a very nice module with a lot of old stuff I converted to 5E and some custom stuff that I use. Most of that is old / custom disciplines. Made very nice reference manual too.

Loading that in after the update has presented with some significant loss of data. (No extensions of any kind was used here!) Luckily I am keeping an old, unconverted copy lying around for now.


Data entries for Ceremonies, Powers, and Rituals simply aren't there. All the descriptions are just ... gone. Ceremonies I can understand, since those were just Rituals in the old ruleset. This is a MAJOR issue! There is a lot of work missing here.

Advantages: They are not completely gone. As in .. the Advantages window is not empty. It is just filled with a lot of empty << New Advantage >> entries. So that is also completely no good.

Ironically the Flaws.. works... flawlessly?? No complaints here! It seems like the above lacks something in the code that Flaws have. I dunno.. Just thought this fact might help run down the problem.

Something else I noticed, which may or may not help tracking down the missing data bug. In every category where data has converted correctly (Disciplines, Flaws... etc) The campaign remember the Group I have saved them under. Everything has been given a Group. Those groups are missing, where data has not been converted correctly.

Every link in my Reference Manual to missing data doesn't work. But I suspect that's because the data missing.



Some minor stuff:

How are you supposed to add Institutions / Cults to Charactersheets? If that is possible, the method is extremely obscure to me. There doesn't seem to be a place for it. Am I blind?

Also: Everywhere you can change a record by typing something into a text field (Haven in Locations, Institutions in Organization, Weapons in Items and so on...), can we please please have a dropdown menu with all the options? What If you didn't know that cults were integrated. I feel like that there is very likely integration that I don't know about. This needs to happen!

Regarding custom rolls: Great! I love it! Sorely needed! But... can we have a rolls section on the sidebar, like skills and all the other good stuff. It would be fantastic if it was possible to create rolls you would drag/drop on to character sheets so you don't have to make them from scratch every single time. It would just put that feature over the top!

Regarding Disciplines on the character sheet: Having Disciplines and Power separated feels kind of disjointed to me. Having powers displayed under their corresponding discipline would make for a much clearer overview of those things, since they are connected in groups. This is just my opinion. It works fine. Just... could be better.

Regarding Skill specializations: How is that integrated? Do you simply add +1 in the modifier window?

Editing Charactersheets: Having a single unlock button at the top is very nice. Previous Storyteller rulesets have had issues with dots appearing by accident, so that is good you thougth of that. It's just a very very small button. Might I suggest adding a lock / unlock function to the right-click radial menu? Having both ways of doing it, would be so very lovely, pretty please.



Gotta say though that the ruleset runs really fast. Responsiveness might not be the biggest issue, but so nice. I am loving many of the new features. Equipment that have actual stats. Custom rolls. Have I mentioned that I love institutions are implemented???? All good stuff. All appreciated!!!

superteddy57
September 19th, 2023, 16:28
I'll look into the descriptions. Are these from campaign data or from a module you created and you are loading them up?

As for the Institutions / Cults, they are organization records located under the Campaign category in the sidebar. You just need to type Institution or Cult into the 'Type" line and it will display the fields. Skill specializations are able to be added to the character by expanding the 'I' icon next to the skill and typing your speciality. When you wish to add your speciality, you can hold shift before you click on the skill roll. The skill name should turn bold to indicate it has a specialty.

I will take your other feedback and consider them.

The Enemy Flaw is being incorrectly categorized as an Advantage.

When attempting to create a Custom Loresheet, a new Advantage is created, instead.

Additionally, I know it's likely outside the scope of FGU, but it would be nice to have a way to build Relationship Maps on your character sheet.

superteddy57
September 19th, 2023, 18:37
Enemies is made as a background and that was placed under Advantages. This was to cut down on the number of sidebar records. You can locate it there. Thanks for the report on Loresheet, I need to tweak it to add the Loresheet type when using the custom option.

Relationship Maps are not something that can be easily made as a feature. After speaking about it during testing, we settled on using a black image and using an image record to track relationship maps.

Going through the Ruleset I have a request and a couple questions.

The request would be to make all backgrounds the same color as the chat box--really, if I had my dream, it would be to revert to the original V5 color scheme all way round.
The first question would be involving Backgrounds. It seems that the "+" to add a Background points to an empty box (1st pic). The other "+" seem to work fine. Also, drag'n'drop seems to work for everything except Backgrounds.
The second question (2nd pic) is about the Loresheets. It seems the font is off, and doesn't display the same way the other fonts do. Not sure if that was intentional.

superteddy57
September 22nd, 2023, 02:08
Backgrounds are associated with a label for what the background is attached to. Like for instance:
12th St. Church - Allies 2, Herd 1, Haven 1

You need to create the label for the background entry and then you can drag 'n drop to the label to attach the background to it. This allows to keep this information central to the description and organize when and how it's used or lost during play. The font for loresheets is intended to provide highlighting that it has sub-entries. You will see more once you have made selections. I wanted an eye catching way to show the different loresheets and keep them separate, but under the same record header.

I know that we can come here and try to get answers for these issues, but I'd like to request some built-in documentation on how to use rulesets/how things are organized. It's my opinion that an in-client FAQ/Ruleset Reference Manual is honestly something that should be done with all rulesets. Yes, a forum search or the online database will likely get you your answers, and that's fine for edge cases. But imagine if, during the initial Campaign Setup step, the GM was guided through 1) a character sheet for that ruleset, 2) any peculiarities in controlling that ruleset, 3) and any changes or streamlining that were made for the FGU-implementation of that ruleset.

If an in-client option isn't possible, then I'd ask that the Setup step provide a link to the article for the appropriate ruleset (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996643987/Vampire+The+Masquerade+5th+Edition+VTM5TH), at least, rather than depositing the GM at the FGU ground-level.

I can't be the only user who feels like they're running up against a wall when trying to learn a new ruleset by reading the published rules, then hunting for instructions on how to do a thing, bouncing off the client to the forums, then the forums to the FGU User Manual.

I have a bug to report in the VtM setup. Under the organizations tab, when you try to add a new person to the organization it brings up the encounter template.

That is intended to help provide the added feature of organizing groups of SPCs into groups for that space. This also gives the other added benefit of a one click option to add them into the combat tracker to use that further to perform rolls and track those SPCs for when all are needed. So each entry is an encounter record that can receive one SPC or a whole cast.

The extensions may need to update the ruleset name within the code to WOD5E to work properly as the VTM ruleset name isn't used anymore. I would suggest getting with the extension developer and seeing if they could investigate that.

Theme Redo
Is it possible to go back to something approximating the original ruleset theme? Or at least the color-scheme? I could be the only one who's having difficulty with the new washed-out grey theme. It's become quite a bit harder for me to read.

I must say that I'm frustrated with the new GUI/Theme of the ruleset.

The old Character sheets were very nice since they were pretty much like the paper versions. They were intuitive and straightforward to use. The new character sheets are horrible!! It is much harder to read and find things, to know where the checks are, and very counterintuitive. One example is the Disciplines and Powers separated by equipment. Also, there were oversimplifications (some very unnecessary), such as eliminating the blank dots in every skill. On the other hand, significant character information such as Clan, Generation, and Predator style were moved to the "N" tab (when they should be in the Main tab).

Besides the Character Sheets, changes in the dice, and how to apply modifiers worsened things. I don't know how to change the difficulty of the rolls now.

I hope that, in the future, the old theme and character sheets will be available for us.

On the other hand, there was a significant improvement in information accessibility. Finding some information, such as the Powers of each Discipline, was more complex in the old version. So, congrats on that.

superteddy57
October 4th, 2023, 03:04
Thanks for reporting about the separation of the disciplines and powers, will look into making them fit closer together.

Changing the difficulty is done in the difficulty box. You can click and type the number or click on one of the buttons for that specific difficulty.

Posting this from the other thread:

It broke a lot more than skills.

For my V5 Campaign I had manually entered into Fantasy Grounds Unity the Merits, Flaws, Backgrounds, Advantages, Powers, Disciplines, Clans, etc from ALL the Published Materials to date.

After this update I have lost:
All my Merits
All Powers not in Core, Camarilla, or the V5 Companion
All Loresheets not in Core, Camarilla, or the V5 Companion
All Rituals not in Core, Camarilla, or the V5 Companion
All of the Chicago by Night/Chicago Folios/Let the Streets Run Red NPC Stats, Discipline Levels, and Blood Potency

So this update just obliterated over 100 hours worth of work.

Now I am trying to figure out how I am going to restore to an earlier version of the Executable AND an earlier version of my Chronicle (because the Update actually changes the campaign files) just to avoid having to re-enter EVERYTHING.

superteddy57
October 8th, 2023, 19:58
What exactly is broken with each of those records? The fields provided are only there to help with automation and don't relay information as when they are locked they are no longer visible. The description would contain all of the information for said record. If you can provide a copy of the campaign or module you created, I can have a look and see what happened.

ShankyMcStabber
October 8th, 2023, 20:04
Where can I privately send you my Campaign and Module? Because I have added all the published material into my campaign I do not feel comfortable putting it out there for everyone to use (copyright violations at that point).

As for what is broken, the data is GONE. There is nothing displayed in the Campaign for that data except the merits, which all show "New Advantage" with empty data fields.

I looked through what you provided. I was able to see issues with the ruleset conversion for the module and were able to correct them. I will make it part of the next update. The campaign was unfortunately empty of any data and looked like a brand new campaign. If you have your data backed up to module, they should be able to import with the new code, but from what you gave me, not able to recover any lost campaign data.

ShankyMcStabber
October 8th, 2023, 21:09
It is technically a brand new Chronicle that we are scheduled to start streaming this month. The data in the module and campaign was built from my previously streamed "Windy City After Dark" Chronicle, so I eliminated a lot of the un-needed stuff and consolidated it down to a single player load module for the new Chronicle.

Essentially what I sent you was all the Merits, Flaws, Backgrounds, Disciplines, Powers, Clans, Rituals, Loresheets, Advantages, and NPCs that I have added on top of the already released VtM V5 FG Modules.

Some information seems to have been lost in the last major update. The list of XP spent is cleared, the item count in equipment is gone, some of my Background stuff like resources was marked as temporary but no longer are, and lastly the custom powers my GM had written up are gone.
Unfortunately we don't have a copy of the campaign pre-update as we weren't expecting this sort of data loss and exporting the record and looking through the xml I was only able to recover item the counts.

While I'm here, the mod action menu is blank and opening it results in the error:

I've noticed a bug on Frenzy Checks. It is rolling the correct number of dice (in my case, 6 dice - 5 for Willpower +1 from Humanity). However, instead of counting the successes, it shows the addition of the dice, for example: I rolled 6 dice, and the results were 1, 3, 10, 8, 2, and 3. Instead of showing 2 Sucesses, it shows the sum of the numbers, which is 27. Please see the picture attached

TL;DR: Players joining a Werewolf-only campaign will be faced with a Vampire character sheet when creating a Werewolf character (until they rejoin)

Steps to reproduce (note that I, as Storyteller, do not own any other WoD content except Werewolf):

1) GM: Start a campaign, load Werewolf module only. Optionally, tick ONLY Werewolf in options for Game Systems¹
2) Player: Join campaign (note: GM will pop correct character sheets when creating characters, so does not apply to Storyteller)
3) Player: Try to create a new Werewolf character
4) Player: Note that character sheet that pops up shows Clan and Predator, clicking on these understandably results in "No records could be returned. You may not have sufficient ranks, modules may not be loaded, or no records are available with that type." (Makes sense, as GM does not offer VtM module, and indeed does not have it!) Character is also listed (including for GM) as a Vampire.
5) Player: Leave campaign (and/or close FGU)
6) Player: Rejoin campaign
7) Player: Note that sheet is now for a Werewolf character and continue creation

¹For what it's worth, I initially didn't notice this option. If I (as a player) tried to create a Hunter, Werewolf, or Vampire with all options checked, I got a Vampire sheet no matter which I chose. But removing the other two certainly ensures one is not clicking "Vampire" accidentally.

Vampire blood potency values in the character sheet are off for Blood Potency one and two. Blood Surge and Bane Severity for blood potency one and two should both be 1 and they are listed as 2. Blood Potency 2 is also off by the same values in the same categories. Blood Potency 3 is off as well: Blood Surge should be +2, Bane Severity 2. Both are listed at 3. I did not examine the higher blood potency.

I cannot figure out a way to correct this problem myself.

superteddy57
October 25th, 2023, 03:02
I believe you may be going off the old table. The new revised blood potency table has those numbers 1 higher. The table is located in the reference manual in the Core Rulebook and the Companion. The new Player's Guide also contains this table.

I added these powers and disciplines some time ago, and am getting ready to start up the campaign soon. I haven't tried to access them in over a year and now I cannot. I do have old versions of the campaign saved. Here is a screenshot showing the problem with the disciplines showing up in the discipline list but not when searching for powers using the disciplines. Also, I do not see any of the powers I typed into the system.

https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqVVYXIp8K-lgcJTHKI9MdWk7yloTw?e=ihYXmF

I replaced the DB file for the campaign with my old one, and now the icons I generated for the new disciplines appear, but still no text describing them or the powers associated with them appear.

I was looking through the old db.script files and found text describing the disciplines. I put them in the new program but it didn't work.

Ok, I replaced the entire campaign folder with my old one. All of my disciplines now show up and the associated powers. However, none of the core VTM disciplines or powers show up. I then loaded the appropriate modules and now they show up. My new disciplines do not show up in the drop down menu when I search in the powers section. However, when I select "empty" my home-brewed powers show up. I think I figured this out, because each power is not associated with a displine. I changed one, and now they showed up.

I think I have this fixed. Thanks, for any time you put into this!

Any problems that I should look out for with this fix?

superteddy57
October 31st, 2023, 16:17
As long as the power is able to be added to the character I don't believe you will have any issues. You can copy and unlock one of the Core Rulebook powers for an example of what type of data those automation fields are looking to contain. Those fields are for automation purposes and not for review. So those fields help the record with the built in add automation, but can still be used with drag and drop to be added to the character sheet. The main thing I was worried about was the records not being available at all. If they are now displaying, then you are correct you will need to update the discipline and level to make them available with the filtering controls on the masterindex.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so my apologies if it is not. I would like to request that the power level of 5 for disciplines be extended to 10 in V5 ruleset. I use higher level powers for elders and would like to have them in the ruleset by their power level for easy reference. Right now, whenever I set them higher, it reverts it to 5.

I understand how you could have this impression. However, up to tenth level powers were a part of every edition of vampire the masquerade until edition 5. There are even unofficial supplements adding these back into the V5 edition. I use home brew systems tailors off of the 20th anniversary edition and the second edition. Here is a link to a ruleset for V5 versions:

The character selection screen is showing Vampire/Ghoul instead of Werewolf even though the character sheet shows Auspice/Tribes

Some of the text in the character sheet is too large. The "th" in the generation is clipping into the number, and the bane severity text doesn't fit in its box. I tried to attach screenshots of the problem.

Is there a way to go back to the old V5 set up? I vastly preferred it over this new WoD5 module.

@Draykor The character selection window will update when you close and reopen. It unfortunately doesn't update in real time.

@plemgruber No, there is no way to use the older ruleset anymore. The theme appears to have made the text a tad to big and will pass this along to the theme creator for a look.

System: Werewolf 5e

We are unable to target creatures in WOD. I have tried all of the ways of targeting I use for my DnD games with no results. Any assistance would be appreciated.

December 3rd, 2023, 03:59
I've tested this on the TEST server and it appears to be working. I click and dragged the targeting button to the token and CTRL + Left Click on the token with the actor being active in the combat tracker. This however doesn't have much automation besides a label in the combat tracker. There isn't automated combat due to the abstract nature of combat.

I see that we can turn on an expanded attributes section on the SPC card but when the SPC goes to the combat tracker I do not see a way to use them. I've tried selecting them off the card itself when linked to the tracker but it still only rolls the skill alone. What am I missing?

You might need to cycle the subsection for it to show or need to remove the SPC from the CT and re-add. I can't verify the attributes are not showing.

it is possible to collapse the Disciplines and Powers sections, but if you try that with Equipment on the charactersheet, you get an error.

If you press a discipline button and then create a dicepool normally, it correctly adds the discipline rating to the roll. However, if you press a discipline button, and then use a custom roll, the discipline rating does not appear to be added. I.e: I made a custom roll with Strength + Brawl. Thought I could add Potence to that, but it doesn't seem to work.

Also. How does Institutions work? They don't seem to do anything. How to I add them to characters?

superteddy57
May 27th, 2024, 15:44
I'll look over the equipment issue. Can you show me what you mean with your second issue? Institutions are a GM resource to track for your world. You could share the record and the players could add it to their notes section for tracking, but there is no automation for them at this time.

viresanimi
May 27th, 2024, 16:17
What I was trying to do with the second issue was this: Potence can be added to certain brawling rolls. And If you press the Potence button, then go to the main page, press Strength, and then roll the dice button under brawl, the Potence rating is added as extra dice. This is how it should function.

But, if you make a custom roll under your equipment / or custom roll section (Strength + Brawl), then the Potence dice are not added to that roll. Or for short: Discipline dice are not added to custom rolls. I don't know how to explain it otherwise *smile*


As for Institutions, I hope that it will be added. Because it is a fantastic system that players also can use. I thought it was something that was usable, because there is a dice button at the attributes. How it should be set up is really that the Depth, Force, Prestige should act like attributes. You add them to a dicepool. Like Strength, or even a discipline.
For instance, if a player owns a gang, and he wants his gang to physically attack a place or group and lead the assault himself, you could create a dicepool of Force (from the institution) + Leadership (from the character's skills). That's it. That how institutions work. I mean.. it they could be added as equipment or something, that would be fine.

It is such a fantastic system I really hope it will be properly implemented some day!

superteddy57
May 27th, 2024, 16:34
I do see where the breakdown of the automation for the institution record. You were correct in thinking there should be a roll, but the linkage did not make it in the first pass with the system. I will get the dice buttons to roll so they can be rolled and either use the modifier box or do a secondary roll by the needed person at this time. It's in my notes to expand this feature further, just hasn't bubbled to the top of my list.

I tested the custom rolls and was not able to replicate. I was able to setup a custom roll in the actions tab and add the attribute, skill, and special group and it collected it without issue. I might need a copy of the character sheet in question to do further testing. I pushed a fix for the institution attribute rolls not functioning and should now be able to do so.

I posted this in the discord and did receive a reply from "Dominic M," but was asked to post it here to keep track of it:

Having some growing pains with the new formatting. Specifically SPCs. You can use the combat tracker to actually track health, willpower, and hunger, but there's no way for them to willpower reroll and they also seem unable to have Discipline ratings, so for instance the Awe power will go into traits and you can use it to auto-roll its dice pool (Manipulation + Presence), but without a Presence rating it'll only roll the dice from Manipulation. Also, the portrait is a cool addition, but seems to often be broken producing an error I'll attach here. The error inconsistently occurs when attempting to add a picture.

61554

Additionally, in the combat tracker, you can expand SPC sheets to show Rouse Check, Frenzy Check, etc. It seems though that neither Blood Surge nor Power Bonus are functioning.

Another note: I just want to say I appreciate how active you guys are. I'm well aware that V:TM's userbase is microscopic compared to D&D's and probably Pathfinder's too, but I'm incredibly appreciative of all your efforts.

I took a moment, with your initial report, to look over the power roll and willpower reroll request and will need time to find a solution for this. You can add the power to the exceptional dice pools with the exact dice pool to aid in making those rolls for the time being. I was not aware of the or missed the Blood Surge/Power Bonus and may be something that goes with the power roll linkage and will require time to look over for a solution. I will check on the error you posted as it's related to the recent update.

There should be a link to the clan in the page for that clan. What happens if you click it? Are they missing from a brand new campaign? I think your module might be a bit wonky if it's still not showing in a new campaign and I would suggest first trying to revert your module and see if that returns them. If that doesn't sort it, then the next step would be to head to your vault and deleting the vault file and doing an update for a fresh copy of the module.

I think those were modules I saved additions to, but the name must have confused something. I can live with whatever is missing since things are back, baby! Thanks for your perseverance and aid!

I am wondering if there is a way you could add the hunger meter to the combat tracker for characters loaded from the character section. It appears for SPCs that are loaded into the combat tracker, but not for any characters loaded from the character section.

When I am able to circle back it is on my notes to investigate how long it would take to implement and if possible. Currently working on another high priority project that is currently taking up my time.

Thanks. There are problems with the display on the party sheet as well. Names are cut off if too long, and the stats do not appear, just the 3 letter abbreviations for them. If you could add hunger to that section as well when you get a chance, it would be helpful.

Thank you, for the quick reply.

I am trying to add new Perks and Edges for Hunter: The Reckoning. I can add an Edge as expected, but can only add the name of each Perk. Not the explanation of the Perk that appears after you click on the title.

Getting console errors when changing the Advantage sheet type (Merit, Background, Loresheet, Cairn Trait).

Hi,

In Werewolf character sheet the error log console pops up when clicking on the "Actions" tab, the same thing happens when you click the Display filter on the bottom left corner of the sheet. Nothing seems to be broken but it is annoying for players. Can you take a look pls

Am I supposed to see a World of Darkness ruleset available when choosing a ruleset upon campaign creation, because I don't and everything I can find online seems to assume I should be. I own the ultimate edition and the Werewolf rulebook. Both Steam and FG recognize that I do and are synched. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and it is frustrating to not even be able to start looking at using the program because I can't find the module in the library.

Hello! Once you create the campaign with WoD (5E), go to Modules--> Activation (a small button on the bottom left of the Module screen). Skip to the last pages, and the Werewolf module should be listed. I don't have that one, but there it should be just the one module. Load it and Bob's your uncle (hopefully). You can check if it's loaded by going to the right-hand side menus, opening the Weerewolf tab, and making sure any of the tabs there are populated by your module. Hope that helps!

Make sure that you run a new Check for Updates to refresh any purchases.
After you click the CREATE CAMPAIGN button on the launcher, you should have an option for "World of Darkness (5E)" near the bottom of the list.

The files are installed in your FG data folder location under the rulesets subfolder as WOD5E.pak file; if you want to manually check for it.

Hello again!

I'm having an issue with the base world of darkness ruleset, i believe in that there doesn't appear to be any ability to set up automation for equipment and it appears to have been changed since i first started using fantasy grounds for world of darkness. it does appear that equipment that's been prebuilt or built prior to the update that removed that option still has that capability.

attached below is a screen grab of the error i'm having. 64935

Thank you!

superteddy57

Can you be more specific on what you are not seeing or expecting from items? I tested them out and they roll as intended with my tests. I might be missing what you are reporting.

bughouse
July 25th, 2025, 19:29
of course!

Perhaps i'm missing something, but when i create a new item, it appears as a blank note, kind like a player note and so on instead of being fill-able with information as if it was an item, like the "Net Gun" and "Net Gun (Copy)". the "Karambit Knife" was an item created when we first started the server but it has been blanked out to being a player note however it's still shown to be a weapon and rollable as one on the player's sheet via the firearm symbol. The information popup to determine pools to add to the weapon roll do still work but i can't make more items like it. Because the fill-able information doesn't appear. this is active on every custom item that had been made previously and with new items created as per the "Test Item" item.

I have tried to both remove the ruleset manually entirely and redownload it to do a sort of "soft reset" and created another test server to see if the issue is isolated to the old server for some reason. Alas both did not work. perhaps i missed something when i did the soft reset but i am uncertain.

attached below is an updated image showing the prebuilt items and the test items including one of the affected sheets.
64936

Thank you!

Edited: i have discovered something new that might be some cause of the confusion, Creating an item directly in the item list does result in the item as i expect them to appear,64939 the issue seems to be happening when equipment is created directly from the equipment list on the character sheet, by pressing the blue "add equipment" button. hopefully this is of some help.

July 25th, 2025, 20:03
If you want the roll button to appear the value on the item needs to be greater than 0. Then you would need to build the roll from the informational link. I do see that the window it opens is not the correct one and will get that sorted. This update will be on the TEST server as the ruleset is currently locked down for the beta.

Whenever I create a weapon, the damage value is now always 0, regardless of what subtype I make it. In fact, all the weapons I have previously added are now damage 0. Manually editing the damage does no good as it always returns to 0.

superteddy57
August 7th, 2025, 10:14
Pushed an update to fix this. I also eliminated the automatic set of the weapon to 0. The weapon will default to the subtype damage if you change it. This update also will keep any edited weapon damage as long as you don't change the subtype. So you can keep the subtype as a dash and change it to any number.

I would check that you don't have any unpacked rulesets in your rulesets folder. The other option is deleting the ruleset (not campaign!) from that folder and doing another update to download a fresh copy of the ruleset.

There's a bunch of stuff being moved around, behind the scenes, right now. One of those things is how modules appear in the selection window and their categories.

I am working on updating everything to be compliant with the new standards. Hopefully I will have everything updated for the Tuesday release.

If this does not fix the issue with Gehenna War specifically, then I will have to combine the two modules into one. Not ideal, but it if gets the content out? It's all good.

I am having some issues with the GUI. The combat tracker does not display some of the character's Health levels correctly. It seems that any characters that have more than STAMINA +3 do not display any health about that in the combat tracker although it is present on their character sheet. See image below for three characters displaying this issue:

There is also a display issue in the party sheet where the Attributes areas are not large enough for the number of dots needed and the Health and Willpower stats don't seem to display well.

Top of the Morning,
It seems that when I try to create a new advantage, I cannot input a value in it, no matter in which category I try to create it
Also it seems like sometimes the amout of value for existing advantage (exemple : Eat Food 2) does not appear on the character sheet

From the code, it appears merits, flaws don't have a value attached to the entry. Backgrounds can be created and a description of the background can be typed onto the line. Then you can drag and drop advantages and flaws to that background. This will then allow a value to be changed.

Gedlan
March 11th, 2026, 19:09
They do have some value attached but not all are showing, i'll give you an exemple :

In the exemple 1 you have 3 merits :
Bloodhound, Eat food and Ingenue

Only eat food shows the value of 2 in the merit block

but if you go in advantage by type you have a column that says the value as the image 2

and finally the exemple 3 is bloodhound that would have a cost of 1, but in the description I can't change the value of the information

So If i try to create a merit I can't input any value either

and they are not always showing up in the merit section of the character sheet for whatever reason

Hope this helps what i mean :)

By the way thanks for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated

superteddy57
March 11th, 2026, 20:16
Thanks for clarifying. Not sure how the code stopped factoring the value of the advantage and have sorted that with the latest update. You may need to re-drop the advantage for the Subtype and Value to be set to their defaults.

Gedlan
March 12th, 2026, 00:51
The problem is i can't redrop the advantage, when I create one i can't even affect the value cause value doesn't appear :S
i've tried uninstalling Fantasy ground unity, i've tried every theme there is available (with the core) and nothing worked so that's why I was confused about what to do with it :)

If I could re-create the merit and then add a value while creating it I would be able to do all of the books merits again but now I can't :'(
So right now i guess i can only wait until next update maybe it will be fixed :)

Thanks again for the help
