Adventure Decks - What the???

[ProfDogg]

OK, been a bit since I've set up a SW campaign and since then there have been a LOT of changes and additions to the Adventure Decks. It used to be pretty easy to set up... But now? I'm so confused...

OK, so I'm setting up a SWADE game... I have Features: Adventure Deck, Features: SW Adventure Deck, and Features: SW Adventure Deck (Fantasy Companion) all checked. I go into the Options and check Adventure Deck to On and I have all cards included towards the bottom.

The above options seem to work with minimal errors and being able to play the cards to the chat box. However, the newest dillema after having checked and unchecked and reversed all of those checks is this: The cards can't be placed in the character sheet and in fact I can not even open that tab even though it is visible on the sheet.

What am I doing wrong? Or more precisely, what should I be doing right?

I don't know the SWADE ruleset but one thing springs to mind; have you unlocked the character sheet?

Nice feature! I didn't realize that was now on SW. But yeah, I just unlocked it now and still won't work.

"minimal errors" suggests you're getting some errors. If this is the case, then we need to address any errors first - errors shouldn't be ignored. When do you get errors and what are those errors?

[Mike Serfass]

The errors are because you're loading the old and new extensions of the same thing.
The Feature: Adventure Deck extension is the older, deprecated version. Don't load that. Delete it if you can.
The new and improved version with automation is Feature: SW - Adventure Deck.
The Fantasy Companion deck extension is fine, and has automation added to it as well.

Ah ha! Yes, now I can add the cards to the sheet after disabling that extension. BUT... New problem (albeit MUCH less of an issue), I can't display the cards to the chatbox with that extension disabled (whereas I could with it enabled). That's still playable however as I can just literally read that off to the players who didn't draw that one as needed rather than show them.

What happens when you try this? Do you get an error, nothing happens, something else happens?

You get this strange block whereas if you do with the Adventure Deck (non -"SW") you get the pic of the card and it's text. S'ok though bc I can just manually show it via Images instead.

I added the error into the screenshot for you too.

[Trenloe]

As I said earlier - errors shouldn't be ignored. Errors break FG (as code stops executing when the error is found). When reporting issues please indicate if you get errors - just saying "I can't do XXX" is very different from saying "I try to do XXX and I get errors". Knowing you're getting errors helps everyone trying to help or troubleshoot your question/issue - allowing you to get better help and enabling errors to be fixed. Thanks for providing the error info. Now that we know these errors occur this can hopefully be fixed by the relevant developer.

What adventure deck modules do you have loaded?
Can you please create a log file and post it here?

Well, now (as of latest advice), it's SW Adventure Deck and Fantasy Companion Adventure Deck. I've tried some other combos and they all have the same issue. I'm also using other extensions but I close them out to test the problem.

[Mike Serfass]

Try without the FC deck.
The name of the FC deck is
Feature: SW - Adventure Deck (Fantasy Companion)
in case you have an older version of that.

I'm unable to reproduce this, so a log file will really help.

OK, so I did this... I started up a fresh campaign and JUST have the SW Adventure Deck enabled. The character sheet does work now that the older Adventure Deck (non- "SW") isn't enabled. But yeah, still getting that same "box" in the chat box when you drag the card into it...

Log attached...

The box appears because the character can't play any more cards that session.
The GM can set that by right-clicking on the card counter box and setting the counter.
The error, however, is not caused by that. The error is because it can't find the character the card is coming from. This makes me think something else is happening.
Does this error happen on all characters?
Are there other errors when dragging something from the character sheet?

Can you zip the db.xml file in the campaign and share that please?

Here you go... Happened in all of the characters I created so far... And so far, no issues with any Edges or Skills being added...

When I tested this the error occurs when dragging directly from the Adventure Deck icon on the desktop to chat. I didn't get an error when dragging from a PC to chat.

[Mike Serfass]

I finally found the culprit.
As Trenloe discovered, the error happens when dragging from the adventure deck tool to the chat window.
I fixed it and it will be released Tuesday.

@ProfDogg: If the fix doesn't work for you, please let me know.

I don't think it's updated yet... There were a LOT of updates just now but I don't think it hit... Next Tuesday?

Wait until the City Hall forum (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?37-City-Hall) announces the Tuesday updates. As of writing this post, there's been no announcement for this week.

[ProfDogg]

Thanks... I'll run an update again later this evening...

Apologies, meant to follow up and apparently forgot... Looking good now! Thank you!
