I have been wondering if there is a better place on the char sheet for the luck die. Also whether a ‘starting luck’ field is of any use. Way back when this was an unofficial community ruleset, the feedback was that the starting luck field was unnecessary and confusing.
I just use the miscellaneous bonus field and then write a judge's note to remind myself why someone has a bonus or bonuses. I think the frequency of occurrence is fairly low for when it would be useful, but I could be wrong.
I'm still getting this script error, was this in the last update?Quote:

Do you remember who was making the roll - PC or NPC? What was the crit table setting - table I or something else? Was it an auto-roll triggered by the attack roll, or was it initiated from the crit roll button on the Actions tab?
I'm thinking it was a PC with the crit table set to I. That one escaped me somehow, but it should be fixed now - will update on Tuesday. Let's hope that does it ;)
PC table I for sure (was testing 0 level guys), but I also got it with a Lvl 1 Warrior, so might be Crit table III as well. Not sure about NPCsQuote:

Hey Leo, I saw this dice image while watching FG Twitch Map & Image Creation video: Attachment 42151 I love what they did with showing the die number, it helps newbies a lot. But I'm curious what the "+" die is as it shows up as a physical die and not a button. Just curious if something like this would work for DCC.
That's a Fate die - plus, minus, and blank sides. I have had requests to bundle all of the funky dice under the Fate die radial menu. I'm not sure how they got the numbers to show like that.Quote:

Just thought you should know that none of the crits were working on either side in anyway.
And on another note, is there a way to change the color of the font in the box on games? whenever a result comes up that I have to read as the GM from one of my players (whether they have cast a spell and gotten a favourable result, or crit result (which didnt work this game but of course has in the past), etc...) the font is usually in a green color or some color that makes it really hard to read. is there a way to change that?
cheers

Thanks DMrabs... Already addressed - see recent posts from Tabarkus. The updates go to the test channel first, and the crit table fix is scheduled to go out today. If everything is working, these updates will go live the following Tue (Dec 29) - that’s the update policy. Sorry for the disruption, help is on the way!
Thanks Leo! I always seem to be behind the eightball on the reports. Thank you again for all your hard work on this! I hope you have a great Christmas season if you are celebrating. Cheers, Ryan
This is what it would look like if I moved all of the Zocchi (funky) dice to the Fate die. I could change the custom die icons to show the names (d5, d7, etc.), but you get the idea. This might be good for an extension so you can choose whatever layout you want.

Oh yeah, I like that! I keep forgetting where to find the current custom dice and have to go hunting them each time. I'm sure I'll learn them eventually but this is easier and more newbie friendly I think.
Dragging them to hotkeys is always an option. I will include the funky dice extension in the next update!
I made an extension to group all of the funky dice under the Fate die. No idea why the radial menu organizes the dice that way...
Attachment 42291
You can download the extension for grouping the funky dice under the Fate die and post any bugs/suggestions here.
My group still seems to be having some issues with the crit die.
I have 3 players.
We are all using Standard edition of FGU.
One has the DCC ruleset and everything seems to be working fine for him.
The other 2 players do not have any additional content, and get a script error (or possibly a compile error?) whenever they roll crit.
Thanks, I will look into it. I ran a game recently and had no issues. When you get a chance, take a look at their char sheets (including the one who had no issues) and let me know what everyone has for their crit settings.
Doesn't work; Lvl 1 Warrior. d12 / III
Doesn't work; Lvl 1 Cleric. d8 / III
Works; Lvl 2 Warrior d14 / III (until last session was lvl 1, and worked then too)
One player cleared said he cleared his app data (I'm not sure what that means) and tried again.
Everyone is updated to latest version as well.
Luckily, we can just roll manually, so it's not game breaking.
Thanks, I will take a look at it. Are you running any extensions? If so, disable them and try again. In the meantime, I will test on my end.
Just your weirdo dice one.
RaSepReTep, I'm unable to reproduce this critical hit error on my system. I've tried every combination I can think of but get no errors. Can you post a picture of their character sheets with the Combat meta window open. That's the only area I could think of that would produce an error.
I can't reproduce it either. Make sure you are running the latest version of the DCC ruleset (v1.9), which displays in the chat window on load. If we can't sort it out with a screenshot, you can export one of the PCs triggering the error and send me the xml file.
A couple of announcements:
- I will be sending the latest update (v1.10) soon, which should download to the Test channel by Tue Jan 12 and, if all goes well, will hit the Live channel on Jan 19.
- In case you missed it, I posted another extension resurrecting a cool desktop decal I commissioned from the great fantasy artist Stefan Poag. He creates a ton of art for Goodman Games, and I was pleasantly surprised he took me up on the offer.
- For the funky dice extension, I updated the icon for the d14 in the radial menu so the spacing matches the other double-digit numbers... really minor but if you care about such things, just re-download from the Dropbox link. The thread for the extension is here.
- Hoping to get some tutorial videos up soon!
Happy new year!
It actually rolls fine for me too, it's just when the player initiates the roll from their sheet. I'll do some more investigation during our next session and see what I can find out.
Great, let me know how it goes! I will test from the player side in the meantime.
So, I'm pretty sure I figured out the issue with player crit and fumble rolls. The ruleset is trying to match the table name from the character sheet with a table in the library, and it's not finding one because the core rules module isn't loaded. Ask your players to load the core rules player module, and that should fix it. As an alternative, you can try setting the option 'Auto-roll crits and fumbles' to 'Both', which might access the table through the host/judge's library. But the bottom line is that the source module isn't loaded in the library.
I created a chat message for this, so if it happens in the future (with v1.10+), you will be prompted to load the source module.
....Ahh. so that's what the player module does!
Thank you, I'm almost certain this will work.
I will fix the script so it still rolls the crit or fumble die even if it can’t find the table. You would need to look up the result, but it won’t trigger a script error, just the “table not found” chat message.
Just confirming that crits are working. Thanks again for the help.
Great! Thanks for helping me figure that out RaSepReTep. I have set up the next version to still roll the crit/fumble die if the module is unloaded - you would just need to look up the result.
Good news - it looks like the ruleset updated sooner than expected!

Feature request? If possible. With DCC spells sometimes you can chose a lower result on the spell table. I notice some FG fields can be dragged and dropped to the chatbox and some cannot. Currently the spell table results can not be dragged. Is it possible to make the spell table field drag&drop? So if a wizard chooses a lower result the player or Judge can drag&drop the lower result to the chatbox.
I would need to check which fields are draggable - I suspect string fields are, but formatted text fields are not. It would require a pretty significant rewrite of the spell record if that’s the case. For example, I could make the casting table similar to the feature list on the class record. The level (number field) would be a roll result, and the feature name (string field) would be the result description. Maybe I will throw something together and see what you think.
EDIT: Screenshot added. The string fields are still not draggable, but I think I could make it work eventually. At the very least, you could select all (CTRL-A) for the desired result and paste (CTRL-V) to chat. Changing the spell record would require reformatting the spells in the Core Rules modules, which is no small task. For now, your players can open the link to the spell record from their character sheets, unlock the record, select the desired casting table result, and copy-paste to chat.

Bug reported... When the Manifestation field of a power is empty, a script error occurs. You will most likely see this for cleric abilities like Lay on Hands. I submitted a fix. In the meantime, disable the option ‘Chat: Show spell manifestation’ if you are getting this error. The fix should hopefully hit the Test channel on Tue and go live the following week (Jan 19).
Yeah, I figured it was either not possible or a ton of work to alter it. The work around is a bit clunky but functional. Though the Ctrl-A selects the entire spell table. So you have to highlight the desired result and Ctrl-C and paste. I'm not sure its worth your time and effort but I'll let you decide. But thanks for considering it.
I do like how it looks and it would simplify the scripts on the back end. It also makes custom spells a little more intuitive. I was thinking of doing some more work on auto-rolling spell misfires, etc. so maybe I can focus some time on this as well.
Also, you're right about CTRL-A. You would just highlight the table cell you want, but yeah - very clunky either way.
So, looking for opinions. I want to update the spell record to contain a casting table that looks more like a FG table and is easier to customize. You can drag and drop the result text to the chat window for spells that allow you to substitute a lower result. Basically what Tabarkus suggested in post #474 - and I think it's an excellent feature request. The downside is that players would potentially need to re-drag their spells to the char sheet after the update. If that's a major problem for anyone, please share your feedback.
Re-dragging spells isn't a big deal at all.
What about custom spells? Would those work as is without the new features or need to be re-made?
