There is a new hidden ruleset available you can use for ruleset building. It is called CoreRPG_2024
We recommend that community developers building upon CoreRPG should try to upgrade all code to be compatible with the latest version of CoreRPG. This will ensure that your ruleset works and functions like other rulesets within Fantasy Grounds. This is not always practical within a given time period. For this reason, we are releasing an older build of CoreRPG, which can be referenced instead. This version will be a stable build that will not get any future updates unless it is absolutely required. It will not have new features of CoreRPG added, but it also won't change. It is a frozen-in-time snapshot.
CoreRPG_2024.pak
This is the Core RPG LTS (long-term support) package. It is based on the build of CoreRPG from 2024-08.
To use this ruleset instead of the latest CoreRPG build, you will change this line in your base.xml for your ruleset
From:
<importruleset source="CoreRPG"/>
To:
<importruleset source="CoreRPG_2024"/>
How we think you should use this
You can use it for whatever purpose you want, but we think the best use will be to maintain compatibility for community rulesets that might otherwise become abandoned due to a lack of availability from the original community dev. It will also give you additional time to migrate to the latest version of CoreRPG when you are able to do so.
It will also be available if you want to unpack it and run comparisons versus the newest version. This will give you a clear list of what files and windowclasses are changed.
Our goal is for this to be a snapshot of the system at the time, but that is not 100% accurate. We had to make two changes to the ruleset.
1. New Dice Pack icons had to be added otherwise people would not be able to use their purchases
2. Right-click menu revamp was added because it connects with client changes
