Hey thank you so much for the help. I started DnD in high school about 15yrs ago with AD&D and swapped to Pathfinder a bit after graduation. For the past 3yrs I have been GM for several 5E campaigns and with the quarantine I swapped to virtual. I have never ran a Gurps campaign but it is the only system that fits into a campaign I have been wanting to run so here I am ready to try out a different system to keep the love for ttrpgs going.
Welcome! If you need any help with the ruleset, there are several people here able to assist you to climb the learning curve.Quote:

Long in the tooth? Speak for yourself.... and get off my lawn! * shakes cane in your direction *Quote:

Going thru the videos has got me going on the way to importing items.
I have never used GCA but I'll give it a go. One of my players has used it.
Another questions if the collected wisdom of the group will indulge me.
Any tools to import skills, & advantages, etc?
@ theshakey01
I'm in the long in the tooth GURPS crowd (the campaign I'm trying to get on FGU has been running since 1980) and will be happy to answer any GURPS questions here. Others will likely help you with FGU questions.
Minor ruleset update
GURPS 4E Core Ruleset
Download latest release from here: https://bit.ly/GURPS4ECore
(Updated: 29th Sep 2020)
- Fixed: Character sheet labels to work better with the FGU Light and Dark themes.
WOOOOHOOO! Thank you so much. Dark Theme works great now (other than the weird bar that goes across the screen, but I may just put the GURPS hexes in there instead).Quote:

They will return. FGU does its map pointers a little differently.Quote:

On thing I found slightly disquieting is that in order to sign in as GM and as a player from my machine - going strictly with an IP log in rather than cloud log in, I had to add my own IP address to the allowed IP addresses in my Anti-virus firewall, otherwise, I'd not have been able to view what I can see as GM and as a player at the same time.
In any event, Looking forward to seeing what else there is in this new version of Fantasy Grounds as well as the newest version of the GURPS. I had last uploaded the 3.3.10 version of the GURPS instead of the current 3.3.12.
Should prove to be interesting...
Thanks again Ronnke for the work you do, even if I don't show up here OFTEN. :)

This may have nothing to do the ruleset itself; perhaps an extension is messing this up for me (or maybe it's just a scalegui problem?) but I'm getting weird font muddles in the chat window. I don't have any specific fonts extensions running except the fantasy language one, but I don't know why that would cause any problem because you have pick those.
Attachment 41399
After some actually investigation; it seems that GURPSCore extension is causing this issue for me. Possible updates to follow (if I can figure out how to look at it and make it make sense to me and see if I can find out what's causing the hubub :) )
Gigermann, is in the process of updating the GURPSCore skin. I expect it to be available soon.Quote:

And as for things to do from the list of the first post, do you have a forecast for when something else comes out?
Yes. We will migrate to FGU. The current OlympusRPG campaign will continue on FGC, but campaigns after that will all likely be migrated.Quote:

Is it already December? :D
I think Yako2020 wants a Christmas gift from Santa Ronnke.Quote:

Thank you Ronnke for all your efforts and I look forward to the next developments whenever they arrive :)
But of course we will!
Santa Ronnke always comes up with wonderful gifts!
And I confess that I am looking forward to seeing future Olympus games at Fantasy Grounds Unity!
I keep meaning to post the adjusted skin for FGU: https://www.drlgraphics.com/downloads/GURPSCore-U.ext
It may need a bit more tweaking before it's all over, but those of you that haven't already been fiddling with it can benefit from the font corrections, at least. And you can guinea-pig for me—let me know if anything "graphical" is amiss.
Th first post in this thread has been updated to include this link.
https://bit.ly/GURPSCoreUTheme
Thanks Gigermann! Nothing seems amiss at first glance.Quote:

Nothing but fixing the font issues, and adding the assets button (which I need to make actually say "assets" :P )Quote:

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked in the thread, but where do I find assets for modifiers and such? Or do I have to retype all of the common modifiers manually?
You would need to enter these manually as they are not included as part of the ruleset.Quote:

Would it be possible to request an Enhancement Section in the Ruleset? Ideally it'd go in the Traits section with Advantages and the like. No worries if not, I was just putting a library together for Sci Fi and noted that it would be helpful to have. I would use the Other section but it doesn't allow for % to be put in the point cost section.
Any idea what this is? The circled bit shows up in Unity for me on all weapons I create. Attachment 41871
When I drag it over it just shows the damage that was done. It's in Unity, no extensions loaded, the item was pulled from a personal equipment module I have.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yhk...ew?usp=sharing The video shows exactly what is happening.
Screwed up image. I thought we fixed that already. Do you have the latest version of everything?Quote:

That was it. I was mistaken on having thought my ruleset was up-to-date.Quote:

I get an import error "An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 929 position 76".
If you have an advantage/disadvantage skill etc with & in it, that's likely giving you the error (ie. Acute Taste & Smell) often do it; you can either go into the xml with notepad(++) or something like that and change it there OR just change it in the GCS character and re-export it
Yup. That was the issue. Thanks!Quote:

Question unrelated to GCS. In Fantasy Grounds, where do the coins end up when distributing them from the party menu? As a GM I can't see the money and don't seem to be able to modify it either? Is it supposed to be in the character sheets somewhere? Is there a tab missing in the GURPS module for characters or something like that?
Inventory. At the bottom.Quote:

New version of the sheet? That's not the one "we" currently use. I recall there were some revamps occurring, so I guess that was moved/removedQuote:
