demadog,
I'm at a loss on that one, since the error shouldn't be occurring for the way I compiled the program. I double-checked the settings, rebuilt the updater file, and pushed to the server.
If you can't run the one on your machine, can you try running the one from the web installer link in the first post of this thread.
If it's still an issue, I'll have to do some more investigating.
Thanks,

Getting an error while trying to update .... (interrupts update)
HandleFile: Unable to save file (fantasygrounds.exe)
EDIT
Rebooted PC - Updated correctly
It sounds like Fantasy Grounds is still running in the background.
Can you check your Task Manager and look for Fantasy Grounds processes to stop? Or you can try rebooting, then running the updater?

Some problems with portrait selection...
Script Error: [string "portraitselection_entry:portrait"]:1: activate: Invalid parameter 1
Seems to affect older rulesets based on the old D20 base.
- Obe
Which ruleset does this error come from? Did it happen when someone logged in (or a different event)?
Thanks,
JPG
Choosing a character portrait in either the ADD or Ars Magic, Call of Cthulhu, Savage World or BRP ruleset gives the same error.
In fact I'd bet it affects any ruleset that uses the old method for puting a character-portrait on the character.
Script Error: [string "portraitselection_entry:portrait"]:1: activate: Invalid parameter 1

Hi JPG,
I was finally able to solve my "MSVCR100.dll is missing" problem by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86). My system had 2008 and 2010 x64 packages loaded, but after installing the x86 the updater is running as expected.
Al
Strange, it's supposed to be statically linked since I have the /MT linker option set.
Cheers,

I have my weekly nWoD game switching over to the test version for future games to help test. Is there anything in particular that you want tested to hell and back in 3rd party rulesets?
I think I'm going to start calling it beta with the next cycle. I ran my last 2 Savage Worlds games with it without a hitch.
At this point, I'm looking for coverage from Mac/Linux users (especially with the updater), as well as all non 3.5E/4E rulesets.
Testing with nWOD is great.
Thanks,

JPG - Both the latest Web Installer and standard updater tool, appear to be working well with CrossOver 10.2 under Mac OSX 10.7.3. (Not sure what happened the first time I ran the new updater but the paths issue seems to be resolved - existing app directory and app data folders are correctly found).Quote:

- The campaign Encounter window list will not accept the drop of a reference Skill Challenge.
- Under Mac/CrossOver - Maximising the FGII desktop window to Full Screen and then returning to windowed mode results in the top bar of the X window containing FGII and (sometimes) the bottom half of the hotkeys to disappear. This results in no controls to close the window.
- Metal theme is missing my black versions of the NPC power attack symbols and some other graphics (I presume these were not included due to concerns surrounding IP infringement?) - If so I'll update the Metal Pro theme extension for 2.9
I accidently ran the updater in my unregistered version (on a WinXP Virtual Machine) and downgraded it to 2.8.1
Now I can't see to get it back to 2.9 at all - I've tried the Web Installler and Upgrade Link (both linked earlier in this thread) as well as just downloading it fresh and reinstalling.
Every tool I try keeps giving me the "setProcessDPIAware cannot be found in User32.dll" error, which sounds like the multi-touch handling bug which was fixed.
Can I be a pain and ask for a step-by-step guide on getting FG 2.9 (alpha) unregistered installed on a fresh XP machine (SP3 with DirectX 9 pre-installed - that was my problem last time).
-PW-
Oberoten,
I just found the portrait selection script error. I had to create a new campaign before it showed up.
DrZ,
* The Notes banner graphic was 2 pixels bigger for some reason. I'll clip it.
* Will look into skill challenge drop
* Not sure what is going on with maximize/restore in Crossover. FG sets the window style to restore the standard window frame when restored from full screen (same code as 2.8.1)
* For the Metal Pro theme, perhaps we can ask community what they prefer for the other graphics. It would be nice to have a single theme, so that you don't need to maintain extension.
Phantomwhale,
Run the web installer download in first post. Since you are running without command line parameters that FG adds, it should not start automatically. Choose Settings and make sure you are configured for Test mode. If it automatically starts updating for some reason, click Cancel quickly, then check your settings.
The web installer/updater determines whether FG is installed depending on whether the FantasyGrounds.exe application is located in the FG2 app directory. So, worst case, uninstall (or delete/rename main app), then run web installer.

Moon_Wizard, I was talking to some of my players last weekend in one of my 4E games on syncing up the shown die rolls on the server and clients. I had several players suggest there be an option that all client chat window sizes be locked to the same size as the host's chat window on the understanding that this would usually mean everyone would see the same roll. The players in that game cared more about everyone seeing the same rolls show up on the dice than having a individually re-sizable chat windows.
After your improvements to the chat window, does having everyone with the same size chat window make it more likely everyone in the group will see the same number on a throw die? And if so would it be possible add an option to slave chat window size on the clients to the master in 2.9? I was thinking the Host would resize the chat window on his machine and then after the players all told him it fit on their FG desktop the host would just lock the size and forget it until someone new joined the group with a smaller screen size.
Theoretically, the dice results should be the same on the host and client machine as long as the dice positions, initial vectors and table boundaries are the same. That is what the original developers used as their assumption, as the rest is just physics modelling. There might be some corner cases by platform, but generally these are the controlling factors. With the addition of a resizable chat window, the table boundaries can vary, which I believe is causing most of the issues.
I have actually been considering whether to pass the table boundary information with each roll (to match the chat window size of the dice thrower), instead of trying to synch/lock chat window sizes. It seems like it would be a similar amount of work, but it would be a better experience.
Cheers,

setprocessDPIAware error during update?
That's what I reported only 4 posts ago (look up :)) - maybe your looking for the same solution (3 posts up - although I haven't had time to try it myself yet). If you have a different setup, or followed different steps, then I'd add more info here so that moon_wizard can better assist.Quote:

I am going to pull the SetProcessDPIAware function, since I don't think it actually changed anything. The original reason is to make sure that the updater scaled with different DPI settings, but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything when I change my DPI settings. I figured that leaving it in wouldn't hurt, but I guess it did. ;)

I'm not running test mode currently so I can't check it myself... but has the issue with copying spells been dealt with?
If you copy a spell that has modified functions or a 'new' spell to another character sheet or a different spell level it resets all the workings to the basic casting and doesn't carry any of the stuff along with it.
Excellent. :) Sorry for the lack of quick responses, work is hell lately. (78 hour work-week)Quote:

Blackfoot,
I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say modified functions. Are you talking about the text fields for the spell, the actions that are created when the ruleset parses, or something else?
Also, where are you copying between? Between classes? Between characters? Something else?
Thanks,
JPG
JPG,
Just and update, 2 more players from our Thursday night group had the "MSVCR100.dll is missing" problem. One on XP and a second on Win 7. Both times the x86 redistributable C++ package fixed it. The 4 other players had no issues. All of us loving the improvements. thanks!

I'm talking about the various things that a spell can 'do' on the actions tab... it defaults with 'cast' but there are 3 other options, damage, effects, healing... if you copy a modified or created spell to anywhere else.. to another character, to another class, to another spell level... these all get wiped back to the basic 'cast'.Quote:

'charge', 'full defense', 'fighting defensively'... and so on.. so it's nice to be able to copy spells with their 'effects' between characters.
So I just tried downloading the web installer (on the first post) again (2.58MB file) and running it on my Windows XP VM (which I fully uninstalled FGII from).Quote:

Do we need an updated version of the web installer ? Bit worried I'm the only one getting the error, but then maybe I'm the only one trying to get an unregistered second client working (as I need it to test the network image / db sharing glitches and improvements that SWEX is going to make use of).

Noticed a minor bug (typo really) this morning in the PF Basic Rules 'Skills' section... for Knowledge under the listing 'Table: Knowledge Skill DCs'
'Identify underground hazard'
Has an extra (blank) column in it which is throwing off the entire table.
the extra column is between the words 'hazard' and 'Dungeoneering'
Phantomwhale,
That's just me forgetting to update the web installer link. I just created a shortcut link on the server, so it should automatically update going forward.
Blackfoot,
I've added to my fix list.
Thanks,
JPG
JPG,
Thanks for the bug fixes! Today's game went much better, enjoying the new functionality.
One of my players complained about seeing the following script error repeated over and over:
It happens whenever he would click the name of a power on his main character sheet (but not the mini sheet). It also happened when *I* would click the power names, though the errors still appeared only for him, not for me.Code:Script Error: [string "charsheet/scripts/charsheet_powerlist.lua"]:208: attempt to index
field 'powermode' (a nil value)
Just trying to install 2.9 (alpha). I downloaded the test mode manager and ran the file. However, when I click "Test" it won't stay depressed so that I can download the alpha update. It's likely that I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
I found if you go directly into your install directory and run the UpdaterEngine.exe located there its much simpler. Click on the Settings button, then select Test below. Run update.
EDIT (JPG): Removed third party link for DLL files. See following post.
Downloaded and checked with AVAST anti-virus, clean on my end. But I ALWAYS suggest you check with a scan for yourself, don't ever trust anyone that says 'Hey it is clean'.Quote:

Hmmm... just get "Getting package listing. Done!" Oh well. I'll wait 'til 2.9 goes to full release.Quote:

The minor issue occurs when trying to open a spell list. I was able to track it down to when it is trying to create a windows to fill in the missing levels of the spell list. The error occurs in the onInit function of the spelllist windowlist within the spelllist windowclass of adventure_spelllists.xml. I've been able to validate the error on line 214 of adventure_spelllists.xml. I am pretty sure the error would occur on lines 219, 223 and 227 but I couldn't find any spell lists that were missing level 25, 30 or 50 spells.
The major issue occurs when trying to open the combat tracker. FG crashes before the window loads. I was able to track it down to line 71 of the getSummary function of the combattracker_effects.lua file.
The problems might be from the same root cause but I am unsure why the combat tracker error crashes FG except for possibly the fact that it uses a lot more resources and takes more cycles to fully load the combat tracker.
Did something change in how the windowlist.createWindow function works? I noticed that there was an issue with the windowlist.createWindowWithClass function that occurred with the nWoD ruleset so it might be related to that. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any more information.
Thanks,

Think this hurt me a few times when rebuilding the SWEX combat tracker to support nested enemies - might see if I can remove some of the LUA-based flags I employed to get around this now ! Nice one.Quote:
