Are there issues with players and GM not running the same version?
Yes, there is. Players won't be able to join a DM running 3.2 if they haven't updated.Quote:

Seems pretty cool to me.

Turn on Dice: Manual Entry in your Campaign OptionsQuote:

If you want Fantasy Grounds to roll it as normal, just click on the dice icon on the pop-up window and it will roll as usual.
The User Manual has been updated with some more info for 3.2. We will probably continue to add a few more sections to this, but it should help introduce you to several of the new features.
There is no scroll bar present in the group list for me, so I am attempting to scroll with the mouse. I am using a Mac using Wineskin.Quote:

You can drag the link to change the group that a record is assigned to from either the list or the individual record, and drop on the group you want it to belong in. It works very similar to a folder paradigm, and that's where we want to go long term. This is just the first step down that transition.
The group window was deliberately limited in size, so that you could still have room to display the records list as well. If we make more room for the groups, then there is less room for the records. Since people will be navigating records much more than groups, it was a tradeoff. I will look at whether we can make it a little more dynamic with the height of the list window. It's not something built into the FG client, so it will require some extra coding.
poobah_1,
You can share these spells with the players by dragging the link onto the chat window to make them public. This is just the first step in making spells a more full-fledged record type that can be managed and shared by GMs, and eventually placed into modules.
benjihad,
It's a bug, but it shouldn't hurt anything. While you can edit the text of the classes and races, it does not change the mechanical aspects of those races and classes, so you wouldn't be able to create custom races or classes like this. Custom races and classes will still require a new custom module, made from Par5E or by directly editing XML. This is why the list is set up to not allow creation of new records.
markdowney,
I'm seeing scroll bars on my version (at least if there are enough groups to warrant scroll bars). See attached picture. Can you show me what you are seeing?
Thanks,

OMG Campaign stuff is now searchable! This is great!
Also, awesome addition of random encounters. Although it's too bad the published adventure encounters weren't updated to use this feature. I hope any future adventure modules have the random encounters already set-up.
I will say I really like the update process not taking ~ 8 minutes now. I just updated my main computer an hour or so ago and just saw what might have been a hotfix to the 5e DMG/MM/PHB and it powered through in under a minute.
Here is my items page, note that I have every extension turned off.Quote:

This may be something that is screwed up in this campaign, but I have no idea what. When I open the 5E sample campaign I do not have this problem.
I hope someone considers doing a quick video going over the new features.
Alright so this is like relearning a brand new tool. How do I assign story entries to a specific group? anyone?
It was fairly easy. Drag and drop to the "group" you want to put it into.

Ty..would of never figured that outQuote:

markdowney,
I think the issue is actually a client issue addressed in the hot fix I just pushed. Can you try again?
Thanks,

UPDATE: After Moon Wizards update, groups will now be available for selection. Problem solved - but I still liked the previous selection better. With the colored icons in different colors and symbol styles I had a very fast way to distinguish modules. Now it's not so fast to click...
I cannot post pictures (as some can) to this thread, however with V3.2.0 I can just group by 'some' groups, not all. That is, I found only the groups (all) and (none) to be selectable, even if purchased and own created modules were opened in the library.
This lead to group all containing a dozen paged of entries, which are not sortable. Selecting individual tabs was much easier in the past, IMHO.
JPG your last push a bit ago killed FG on my end. Permissions look normal but I can't run the client at all now.
Attachments are disabled in this thread so, I'm getting a Windows System Error dialog which says:

No, it displayed just the 2 groups(all and none) before Moon's update.
Alle entries were listed as records nevertheless, but couldn't be grouped.
Now I can group all groups. A 'Filter' to select 'combined' groups would be nice. However entries in one group are now spread along several pages. Instead of just scrolling I additionally click back and forth.
Can I just clarify what you are saying again please becasue I'm still not very clear.
In the graphic above there are 4 Groups, all, none, PHB and MM. If I click on the PHB then only those entries relating to the PHB then show up. You are saying that the PHB doesn't show in the groups, only all or none? Or are you saying that the PHB does show up in the Groups but clicking it doesn't filter the material only from that group?
Talyn,
Check your Windows Defender or security software to make sure it didn't get quarantined. For some reason, security software does not like auto-updating software.
Targas,
It sounds like you can now access all the groups again. We haven't explored whether to have a multiple group filter, though it's an interesting idea.
The paging is a necessary requirement of the ability to have thousands of records; we tried putting them all in the list at the same time and performance was very poor. Now, it shows 100 per page. Try using the search filter as well to narrow your targets before paging.

Why did FG.exe just update again? Hotfix for something?
Where did the map scaling radial option go? I used that all the time to quickly make images fit in the window. :(
HoloGnome,
There was a hot fix pushed a couple hours ago, as noted above in this thread.
Blackfoot,
This option should be available in any CoreRPG derived ruleset, unless an extension is overriding it. I just checked on my install.

I assume everyone is getting this error in old campaigns every time they open an image? How do we get around it?
I suspect this might be related to my other problem.Quote:
Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/imagewindow.lua"]:29: attempt to index global 'header' (a nil value)
I'm running 3.2 using the PFRPG ruleset
Hi Moon Wizard - if I wanted to change graphics files for sidebar icons to be wide/long rather than roughly square where do i change this spacing allocation?
At the moment if I replace gfx with wide ones the same square space is still allocated to them.

Not happy at all with this nonsense. My campaigns load with error messages, the icons and windows are missing, no dice and the list goes on. This needs to be fixed immediately. Updates are only good when they work. I am not the only person having these issues. Why are we rolling out stuff that doesn't work?
Because enough people aren't volunteering for beta testing? :)
A little info would allow us to help you. What ruleset are you running? Have you checked any extensions you have enabled for compatibility updates - the majority of extensions will need to be updated with any FG release, not just this one.Quote:

Most extensions are developed by other community members and tehy will get updated when they get updated.
Try disabling your extensions and do the above step.
This problem is related to the Image Label Extension. Disabling it removed the issue AND fixed the image scaling radial problem.Quote:

We've just finished playing and the only slight problem that we noticed was when rolling Trained Only skills the output to chat always shows that the PC is untrained, even if they have ranks in the skill. This happens when rolled from the PC character sheets or the Party Sheet.
So, just updated to 3.2 and I was playing around with some of the changes... I noted that AC was not updating at all. This is a 5E game. I am curious if I am missing anything? Also the equipped gear option is not on the character sheets for 5E so I assume that isn't actually a thing now or is there something missing from my update?
You need to make sure your armour is equipped. It also might not make any difference on an existing character with the same existing armour.
The equipped gear option is an icon that replaces the simple carried checkbox. It will show an large empty brown circle if not carried, a circled bag if carried or a circled shirt if equipped.
If you are not seeing this, then make sure that you do not have any rulesets unpacked in your FG data folder under the "rulesets" directory (especially CoreRPG and 5E).

Then does it not work with 5E unpacked or does it just require a reinstall of them afterwards?Quote:
