Hi,
My party and I can't check the spell slots box in 5E. And some concentration effects does not appear in combat tracker when used. we are running Fantasy Grounds V4.8.3
We are using Advanced effects v7.0.9

I can't find an open thread about this.

Welcome to the FG forums!

To identify if the issue is with a base ruleset or an extension, please run a test in a new campaign with no extensions loaded (no themes either) and see if you can recreate the issue.

Thanks Trenloe.

Same issue in a brand new campagne with no extension nor them.
I have not played since the last update.

When did you last update? There was a fix pushed to the underlying CoreRPG ruleset about 5 hours ago for similar issues in other rulesets.

We'll need some details of exactly what isn't working.

I've just update again and stared a new campagne but spell slots doesn't work.
Some spell like "Sleep" should generate automaticly a concentration effect in combat tracker but they don't.
And for no apparent reason some spell like "Fog Cloud" work perfectly fine...

Have you reached out to the Advanced Effects author yet? The extension was last updated in March.

Delete player cache too in case the changes to the character sheets need to be cleared.

Sometimes between updates, character records can become jacked-up due to changes between extensions and Fantasy Grounds.

Build a new PC and see if there are similar issues.

Jumping in - two more reports of this - my own and another campaign I'm playing in. We have gone to new campaign with nothing loaded, and also in existing campaigns where this was working (the spell slot click not consuming) - I can add slots in preparation mode, but cannot do anything once the sheet is locked.

(Also, did create brand new characters in both the new campaign and existing- still unable to click on spell slots)

To clarify - I made a new 5e campaign with nothing loaded; and made a blank character sheet (no wizard) - gave it a spell slot in preparation mode. Locked the character sheet, and then could not click to consume the spell slot in standard or combat mode.

having this issue tonight. updated just before seven.

When character sheet is locked, it shows the cast spells including those checked from last week. unlocking drops to spell prep no matter what mode is set on the action tab. preparation does allow checking what spells cleric has prepped.

I'm trying to upload a set of screen grabs with the character sheet to show things, but having issues...and middle of game session so rolling for initiative takes priority.

so should see locked shows combat click usage of spells while in prep mode and unlocked prep mode is normal.

back to killing cultists.

thanks

I also ran into this issue, did the update right before creating a new 5e campaign, with no extensions.
Created a new character (using 2024 Handbook).
Will not let me select spell slots, sheet is locked, i can select other tick boxes.

I am also encountering this issue, 5e ruleset. Can't check off spell slots on character sheets, but can check off other powers

I too am having this same issue. Clicking on the squares to show that a spell has been cast does not function.

Hello,

Big thanks for that fix!

I confirm that spell slots checks and most effects are fixed. Nevertheless, there is still a issue with on target spells witch require concentration (c). When used the target effect is applied in combat tracker but the concentration effect is not applied on the caster.

Exemple : spell sleep cast and effect apply on target but not on caster.

Should I create a new thread for that ?

This is correct. The concentration checks will still be properly made if the caster takes damage.
