On today's update I noticed some funkiness with the "edit" button on all the tabs, except the main tab, seem to be "stuck" open, continuously showing the blue "add weapon" and "add power" buttons on the actions tab all the time and the green + button on the other tabs. It is doing this on my 5e ruleset too so is this intended or an across the board FGU bug?
This is intended. Add buttons have been made always visible; so that users can find them easier.

MotD button seems to have been cut off in this update. Might be good to fix that for the new folks.

Thanks Baufrin, I will fix that.
EDIT: I submitted a fix for the Message of the Day button issue. You should see it on the Live channel Tue Feb 23.
More features planned for the next update...
- Results tables can be added to class features - for example, 'Lay on Hands'.
- When a class feature with a results table is added to the character sheet, a new power entry is created with the group name 'Abilities'.
- The class feature 'Divine Aid' will automatically create a new power entry (group name 'Abilities').
- The class feature 'Sword and Board' will automatically create the 'Shield bash' weapon entry.
I'm holding these until after Spawn of Cyclops Con, so looking at early March.
Minor typo in Yddgrrl's Maze; the large group of sleeping orcs doesn't have the close parenthesis ")" on their spear attack.
One of the new DCC guys I've been helping teach FG noticed that "drag & drop" spell casting doesn't work. You get a "cannot find spell table" result. Casting the spell via the button works fine.
Thanks for the report... What is he dragging exactly - the roll button or the string field? I am working on uploading the latest update, and then I will take a look at it.
The roll "cast" button; I tested it myself. It either gives a script error or a can not find table error.
It returns 'Unable to find casting table result.' on a failure and a script error on a success:
[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "scripts/manager_action_power.lua"]:432: attempt to concatenate local 'sMercurial' (a nil value)
I will work on it. Thanks again.
Fixed. I'll include it in the latest update.
I'm having some issues getting the latest updates uploaded to Smiteworks. I will post an update when we get things resolved!
Please excuse my quite uninformed question: I am new to fantasygrounds - and I don't find a comprehensive tutorial for DCC. Creating and modifying PCs, awarding XP, I really don't get it. Is there a specific tutorial / FAQ for DCC, not a generic one? Thank you!
I need to update the user guide in the first post of this thread. We also need some tutorial videos. Fantasy Grounds College is focusing on the DCC ruleset this month if you are interested.
The quick start version is this:
1. Click the Characters sidebar button and then the green button to create a new PC.
2. Click the brown button in the bottom right corner of the char sheet followed by the blue button to roll ability scores.
3. Click the Tables sidebar button and open the lucky roll table (Table 1-2). Roll on the table and drag the result from the chat message to the appropriate field on the Main tab.
4. Open the occupations table (Table 1-3) and roll. Drag the shortcut (brown circle) from the chat message to the Main tab to add the occupation, and drag the item shortcuts to the Inventory tab.
5. Click the Classes sidebar button and drag the brown circle for your desired class to the Main tab. Repeat to apply additional levels.
You can adjust the sidebar buttons in the Options window (upper right corner of the desktop) if you don’t see what you need. XP is entered manually - click the class field on the Main tab to access the XP fields.
Hope that clarifies things. For the basics, the 5E ruleset is fairly similar and can be a good resource if you are confused about something. When in doubt try double-clicking a field, push some buttons, right click, drag and drop... you can learn a few things that way too.
OlDie80, I've been teaching some FGU/DCC "classes" through Fantasy Grounds College; but I'm happy to show you the ropes if our schedules match up. Let me know if I can help you in any way.Quote:

Thanks. I didn't have the sidebars - and without them seems to be impossible to assign classes and steps. Now I am getting closer to a smooth game experience.
Anyone else having trouble with the DCC CT not being able to delete things off of it? I right click on both PCs and NPCs inside the CT and no trashcan. Only close window and create item.

I’ll have to get back to you with the exact script errors I’m getting also. I’m not in front of my PC at the moment. I know it referred to “defense” when I tried to add PC’s to the tracker. I’ll try and grab screenshots. My FGU is up to date.Quote:

No need to apologize. I appreciate all the work you do. I’ll log tonight and see if that remedies all my issues.

Hopefully the image of my error log appears here. I tried to post a screenshot. Looks like after your update the CT now works like it should. However I still get an error when I try to equip armor to a PC. Syas something to the effect "attempt to call field 'calcitemarmorclass' (a nil value)
I uploaded hotfixes for the armor issue above and a script error for spellcheck rolls.
Looks like that fixed the armor problem! Thank you!
Hopefully everything is running smoothly now for the latest update. I changed how spell names are handled by spell check rolls since it was causing some trouble with chat messaging.
The cleric ability Divine Aid does not have a results table by design and will display the chat message 'Unable to find casting table result' on spell check rolls. This is not an error. Table 7-8 on page 358 of the rules has some DC guidelines that could serve as a results table, but I decided against that for now. If you think that would be helpful, let me know... Something like (1-9) Failure, (10-11) Very simple cantrips, (12-13) Minor mechanical effects, etc.
Looking ahead, I will probably work on a smaller update next. I am adding a field for Fleeting Luck to the char sheet with an option to turn this on/off (i.e., show or hide the field). This will look similar to the Inspiration field in 5E. I was thinking about how to abbreviate the label with only 4 or 5 letters... I'm leaning towards FLUCK, but feel free to share your suggestions.
Today I started a new DCC campaing in FG Unity (previous it was onFG Classic) and when a caster tries to cast a spell by pressing the dice it opens the console with this error message
[3/13/2021 2:04:02 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "scripts/manager_action_power.lua"]:195: attempt to index global 'ActorManager2' (a nil value)
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)
The error is exactly the same no matter the spell or the character class. It just happens when clicking the dice icon to cast the spell, if I drag the dice description to the chat it rolls as usual, the dice animation is a bit weird (it "warps") but there is no console error
I created new Characters in FGU in case it was an issue from importing the PCs from FGClassic, but the problem persist.
Any idea about what could be wrong?
Hi Jaume,
Very strange. The ActorManager2 script was recently renamed ActorManagerDCC, so I'm wondering if you need to update. I am not able to reproduce this on my end, but if updating doesn't fix the problem, let me know.
Leo
I have run the updated and the error was persisting. Yesterday the error was happening also in the clients of my players which made me the gut feeling it may be an interference with an extension
So I uninstalled all and loaded the campaign adding one extension each time
It results the problem is an extesion called DCC Custom spells.ext
This is an extension to add new spells based in a sample code you provided in this thread long time ago
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ht=#post473509
So with your hint of the new name for ActorManager I opened the ext with notepad++ search and replace, update, launch, and it works like a charm!! :)
Thanks!!
Ah, ok. You are welcome to continue using the extension, but the current ruleset version allows you to create custom casting tables directly on the spell record.
yes, it's fun to toy with the code but after posting the reply I realized with the upgrades you did on the ruleset the ext is completely redundant, you are right I will remove it
I have a different question:
I´m running my campaing in Lankhmar, since its a kind of sandbox I rely a lot in generate content with tables
For instance, a Food generator, I use a table for each component of the meal
ingredient: chicken/fish/veal/pork/duck
flavour: salted/marinated/fried/pickled
side: chips/lettuce/tomato/fried fishbone
Then I nest the three tables in another table ingredient/flavour/side to generated the meal
Currently I use output in the chat, but is not very sexy, example:
Food Generator =
Food ingredient 1
Food ingredient 2
Food ingredient 3
Food ingredient 1 = 7
Pork with
Food ingredient 2 = 8
Marinated
Food ingredient 3 = 2
Scallions
So two questions here:
1.- is it possible that the output is a new item in an item category?
2.- when the ouput is on the chat, how I can get rid all the tables titles and just get the result, using same the example something like "Food generator = Pork with marinated scallions" or just "Pork with marinated scallions"?
Fun! It’s not possible to output to an item, but you can try output to Story to remove the column labels.Quote:

but if I choose output=parcel each table results is an item in the parcel, the problem is to "merge" them?
I had no idea about Story templates, I´m just reading about how it works and looks like the kind of solution I need, thanks for the tip!Quote:

I can see this being extended to custom tables in the future, but for now, we will get it working with the default table.
Nice, yes, disapproval should be handed down from the gods themselves, not by the player's own hand (roll)! I like it.
Bug report... Two-weapon fighting not applying minimum agility 16 for halflings. I submitted a fix for this.
Almost asked about this the other night bc we were rolling up a Halfling. Appreciate you! How does the deed dice work when rolling an attack in FGU? I saw the button for it. Does it also roll it separate as one dice roll automatically when attacking? Or do you have to manually roll it?Quote:
