I'm thinkin it could be a nice way to prepare your stories with cool inscriptions on items and doors as eg.

A couple of things:
1) The extension is really no longer needed (as mentioned in post #1).
2) If you are using this extension: as you're discovering, you can't use chat commands (e.g. lang) in a chat bubble - it uses different code from typing the same command in the chat window.

To, kind of, get this to work. Don't load the extension, but use the built-in language support - select the language from the drop down list just above the chat entry control. Then drag/drop the text you want to use the language to the chat entry control and press return. This will send the text to the chat window in the selected language.

Hey Trenloe, I noticed that these links no longer work and I was looking to add some more language options to FG for Eberron specific Races. Like Riedran and Quor.

Is there a way to accomplish this with the most current FG and D&D 5e.

Thanks in advance.

The links still work fine for me. Make sure you're not in mobile mode.

You'll want to be using the new extension - linked in post #1.

Or, you can edit your own font using the font editor: https://googledrive.com/host/0B27SCD...nt-editor.html

Then it is a case of putting the new font entry in the extension.xml file. e.g. if the new font is called thassilonian.fgf and you want the new language name to be thassilonian you'd add this entry:

Code:

---

<font name="thassilonian">
        <fgffile name="fonts/thassilonian.fgf" />
        <color value="#000000" />
</font>

---

Then using /lang thassilonian Hello! in chat will use the thassilonian.fgf font.

Sorry I meant these links

Ah, OK.

Get the font editor here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SS...TGiK73HQ8vjFCh

I don't have a copy of the TTF to FGF converter. But, this is built into FG now. You can specify a TTF file in the font defintion. See here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/font.xcp and there are some example in the CoreRPG ruleset.

Sweet thanks.

Trenloe,

Friends and I are starting a campaign and looking into adding Thieves Cant in as a language. Went through the Thread and couldn't find an extension that added it as a usable language.

Are we still having to add a custom language and such for it?

BY default, you can click on the Options setting in the default ruleset; then click the Languages button; and then add a Language to the language list for your campaign.

Regards,
JPG
