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.

SPC's that have a "General Difficulty" field has the field overwritten by the end of "Difficulty"

Ok, might be the size of the font that is causing the issue. I'll take a look. Thanks for reporting. The ruleset is currently on lockdown due to the recent beta and any update will take some time to be pushed LIVE.

It looks like the Combat Tracker does not update the health when switching forms.

It's best to report bugs to the bug report thread as that is where developers are told to monitor. I was able to verify and a fix will be pushed to the TEST server during the current Beta.

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.

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.

However, when attempting a power roll off the combat tracker there is an error. The power roll can be made via the SPC card when opened through the tracker.

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?

Just checked and it is working off of the SPC sheet just fine. Attributes do not show on the tracker still.

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

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!

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.

If it's the PC, it's on the character sheet. If it's related to a SPC, it does show if the NPC is a vampire.

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.
