Hey MrDDT or rhagelstrom, any idea what I am doing wrong on the installation? Or is this not an install issue? I am not able to see the Targeting and Source options when 5E Better Combat Effects Gold is Enabled.

Version Update 5.7
Feature: Automated Pack Tactics Trait
Feature: FG Vanilla conditional operators ALIGN, SIZE, TYPE, CUSTOM can be prefaced with ! to perform a logical not
Feature: Conditional operator NAME will return true on a partial match of the creatures name
Feature: SDMGADDT, SDMGADDS, TDMGADDT, TDMGADDS now accept a damage threshold
Fixed: RAKISH not working when actor has both adv and dis
Fixed: Skip not working
Fixed: Clean up effects builder support (WIP)
Under the Hood: More DB calls moved over to the desired method
Hi Ryan - I see you added a feature for automated pack tactics. This is terrific. Excuse my ignorance but does anything need to be added to the CT for this or will this parse/work automatically if the creature has that trait? Same question for Rakish too. I'm assuming it'll 'just work' if the ability is on the NPC / PC character sheets? Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks!!
Pack Tactics will just do Pact Tactics if the Actor has a trait "Pack Tactics". The description isn't parsed so not needed. RAKISH and SNEAKATK need to be added as an effect since they need to be limited to once per turn and sometimes its better to be explicit so everyone knows what is going on and can turn it off.Quote:

Version Update 5.8
Fixed: IMMUNE: CUSTOM() will not notify IMMUNE in chat if the applied effect is an aura (spam)
Fixed: SAVEDMG not working if effect is disabled before damage is calculated
Fixed: DUR, EFFECTINIT not working when (D) is a number
Changed: TURNRS, TURNRE will remove if effect disabled
This update contains significant change. You might want to look at the documentation pdf on the first post.
Version Update: 5.9
Feature: DUSE to the apply cycler in the CT
Feature: Change state added a change state cycler in the CT, powers, custom effects window. Change state tags are all the tags that Activate/Disable/Remove an effect on start or end of turn. Should see better performance on change of turn.
Feature: Option to Deprecate Change State tags. You need to enable this for the performance gains however the Change State tags will no longer work so you'll have to have all your change state done via the cycler.
Notice: At some point in the future Change State tags and DUSE will be deprecated and removed. Since this is such a big change there will be a few months worth of grace period.
Fixed: [SDC] not calculated correctly for warlock
Fixed: Tag SDC not adding bonus to [SDC] on replace
Removed: Performance Data Tracking
Thanks dude, this is going to make it easy to set these features on effects now more inline with how FGU uses it.
Can anybody help me with ATKHADD? I want to add 1d8 damage when a attack hits. Can you give me some examples?
Deadly Shortsword; ATKHADD: RendQuote:

This effect goes in the effects list on the table and it required Equiped Effects EXT
Version Update 5.10
Fixed: Logic for change state cyclers
Fixed: SAVEA
Fixed: (RA) not removing
Changed: RTE will not add +1 dur
Thank you!
Great work - I'm wondering if I use this extension in AD&D classic ruleset ?
Getting an error when a player uses a save action from a power. tested in clean campaign with only BCEG loaded. currently loaded v5.10. Error does not appear on the host, only on the client side.

I was using BCE and had effects coded that are now deprecated (beginning and end of turn). I bought BCEG and am trying to get it reconfigured to work with the new settings, but it seems to be having issues. As an example, I am coding for Tomb of Levistus and have an effect added for vulnerability fire which should expire at the end of the character's next turn. I've set it to 1 (and 2) round and tried RE and SRE, but no matter it ends itself at the beginning (not the end) of that characters turn. Any thoughts? Is this extension having issues?
I'll take a look. In the meantime you can certainly use the old coding.Quote:

My SRE effects are ending correctly for targets whose initiative is later than the source, but not for targets whose initiative is higher than the source. Source with initiative 10 puts the same effect on two targets, one at Init 5 and one at Init 15, with 1 round duration (which becomes 2) and "remove at end of source turn" selected. Ends their turn, all is good. Go through one round, and the next time source ends their turn the Init-5 loses the effect but Init-15 does not. At start of Init-15's turn, they lose the effect. You should be able to easily duplicate this.
Sorry for the inconvenience. SRE is known bugged in the change state cycler. I'll get a fix in the next couple of days.Quote:

If you currently have the cycler set at SDS, you'll have to cycle it around to SDS again to get it to stick.
Version Update 5.13
Feature: Effects Migrator
Fixed: CS none with duration sometimes increasing duration
READ THIS
The Effect Migrator will move your current campaign BCE tags that change state over to the new cycler. I HIGHLY recommend you make a backup of your campaign before you perform this operation as there is no undo.
I've migrated my campaigns over with no issue however that doesn't mean there isn't an issue that I missed. If you find anything wrong please report it.
You'll also notice it may want to rewrite effects that have nothing to do with change state. It is probably due to extra whitespace or extra ; at the end of the effect. That is perfectly normal but again please review the report before you migrate.
The reports are generated uncategorized story entries for both preview and migrate. You probably want to delete those if you are exporting modules or are happy with the outcome.
Version Update: 5.14
Fixed: Change State Remove on end of turn needed some tweaking
Fixed: Fantasy Grounds doesn't propagate weapon attack type (spell or weapon) when NPC attacking from the CT
Version Update: 5.15
Under the Hood: Performance improvement on change turn
Fixed: More descriptive labels for ongoing damage and ongoing regen
Removed Advanced Effects dependency for Sneak Attack and conditional operator WEAPON
Documentation: conditional operator WEAPON was missing from PDF documentation
I bought a gold extension, can I enable a normal extension?
You don't need to load the Better Combat Effects if you have gold.Quote:

I can't seem to be able to go back fix the errors I'm getting after enabling this. Is it as simple as using a backup db? I'm 90% I saved a copy of my campaign but going back to it I'm still getting errors.
What errors are you getting? What happened?Quote:

Finally able to attach photos. I'm thinking it's a compatibility issue or something. I just honestly need it to go back to the way it was before as I can't even get the backup copy of the whole campaign to not error out. I mean maybe it's not even this extension's fault but it was the last one I enabled before I had issues.

Yeah, that's a lot of extensions to manage.
You should remove Token Height and FG-CoreRPG-Coins-Weight; as those two are part of the standard code now. (I'd remove from installation completely.)
Other than that, you'll have to turn them off to figure out which one is causing problems. Turning off half at a time is usually fastest way to narrow. If you're comfortable with editing XML, you can edit extensionstate.xml directly; but save off the original first and make sure to completely exit FG in between editing.

From the image it looks like 5E Remove Effect Tag extension is throwing the error. Might be a conflict with that extension and something else you are running, or it might be just 5E Remove Effect Tag itself.

Second, you need to go through your list and make sure you are running the most updated versions ONLY.
Third, you need to make sure you are not running 2 versions of an EXT.
Fourth, you should go through and make sure you are only running EXTs you use/want to use.

There above are 2 examples of a doubled up ext.Quote:
<extension name="AutomaticHalflingLuck" />
<extension name="AutomaticHalflingLuckv1.2.1" />
Also some like Automatic Flanking and Range is no longer needed if you using Generic Actions as GA has the same tools in it as AFaR
@Moon Wizard, Coins-Weight was not added into FGU core just FYI, the weight of coins was but not what this EXT does. This ext puts an inventory item in your inventory which allows you to move the coins into a different location. This is mostly important when you use another ext that allows you to have bags of holding etc that have an effect on the weight.
Now I don't know if the user uses this part of it so maybe they only want the weight of the coins in treasure, however, I just wanted to point out this issue with telling people to turn off an ext without understanding that is had other tools.
If you want, jump on discord and I can help you figure some of these out and cut down your exts most likely. Less EXT is less possible conflicts.
Just a heads up. It looks like this ext is throwing an error on load in TEST. I figure most wait until it is live but I was there testing some other things.
Is there a way to specify the duration of the effect when a creature fails an ongoing save, using 'SAVEADD'?
EDITED: As it turns out, the problem I was having was because I needed to reload the game in question, so that the extension could see the effect I had created. It's working as intended now. (For the curious, I was automating the Cloying Miasma trait of the CR6 'Dragonflesh Abomination', which causes creatures within 5 feet of the abomination to make a save at the start of the abomination's turn, or become poisoned until the start of the abomination's next turn.
Here's the effect codes too.
AURA: 5 all; Cloying Miasma; IF: FACTION(notself); SSAVES: 14 CON; SAVEADD: Cloying Miasma
Cloying Miasma; Poisoned
(The duration of the applied effect is 1, and for those using Better Combat Effects Gold, it is Removed at the Start of the Source turn.)
Version update: 5.17
Fixed: NPC Innate Spellecasting with [SDC]
Fixed: Changed utilitybox to match for FG 4.4.0
Changed: WEAPON conditional operator will match on a partial match instead of exact match
I made a video that goes over how the better combat effects gold conditional operators work.

I'm having trouble with the EXPIREADD command. My goal is to leave a reminder effect on the target once the effect expires, that it can't be affected again. Here's the effect that isn't working:
Blade of Petals; charmed; EXPIREADD: can't be petal-charmed; [RE]
Before I added the EXPIREADD clause it worked fine with duration 1, ending at the end of the target's turn. But once I added that clause, it ended as soon as the caster ended their turn, so I changed the duration to 2 turns. That worked, it ends properly now, but doesn't proc the message effect. Can anyone help? Thanks!
