I dont know the original reasoning for making description Formatted Text - probably because that is the field most likely to have the most info in it. Anyway - changing it, or the others, will break all existing characters so its probably going to stay the way it is...Quote:

In case 2 the UI is showing 32 being the sum of the kept dice, a 2 and a 30. The other tens dice was an 80 and was dropped.
In case 3 the UI is showing 60 being the sum of the kept dice, a 10 and a 50. The other tens dice was a 10 - in this case it was a PENALTY dice so the lower of the 50 and 10 was discarded.
So... dice #1 is showing the total of the %dice roll - not the value of the first dice.
Understandable and shareable .. Thanks for your interest damnedQuote:

Thank you to all of you..
Chapeau
The pregen characters for The Lightless Beacon are not copying into Character records correctly. All four appear to be copied over with at least some remnant of the points that were used to build them.

Hi Muagen
The pregens almost never comply with the standard point allocations they would have if they were PC created players.
There is no nice way to make those disappear.
Usually pre-gens will be used for one-shot type scenarios so the "unspent" points are just ignored.
Thank for the swift response! I'll let my players know not to worry about it.
Possibly not a bug but a feature for chases: double-clicking on the Move in Combat Tracker as a player doesn't roll the Move dice, but it does when the GM does. Players have to double-click from their character sheet.
There is a typo on the Survival skill for the Military Officer occupation in the Pulp Cthulhu module.

Another bonus roll anomaly. Definitely not a Fumble :)
Attachment 52605
Hi Magnimost
You rolled a 60, 30, 8 and one of those was a bonus die. Its a roll under system. It has handled the dice dropping and sum totalling correctly but it looks like it might have added all 3 when calculating the Fumble. I havent been able to replicate it though...
Thanks. I think that has been fixed before and somehow crept back in...Quote:

This is standard Combat tracker across all (most at least) rulesets.Quote:

I have more, but can only have five attachments per post.
Couple of questions -
You seem to be doing a LOT of bonus rolls?
There maybe some clue in how you are doing the rolls?
What are the exact steps you are doing to make these rolls?
Are you dragging Attacks and Skills to Hotkeys for example?
This is not recommended in many cases as it will not pick up any changes to the source values.
I need some more info - I can see your posted errors but I cannot (at least yet) replicate...
I have just done
100 bonus skill rolls
100 bonus PC target attack rolls
100 bonusnpc target attack rolls
100 penalty npc untarget attack rolls
and all reported ok.
The system calls for a lot of bonus and penalty rolls, especially in combat.Quote:

I just did a few tens of tries myself, and all reported correctly. Maybe this is a clue: is it possible that players' remote hosts can somehow get out of sync with the GM server, and report incorrectly due to that?
yes I suppose that is possible
Ill keep looking - thank you
Hi,
Something weird is happening when I try to create new PCs, first some of the auto-population on the main tab isn't working, specifically SAN and Dodge but also there are no skills at all shown on the skills tab although the skill points for the chosen occupation (Artist in this case) are shown.
I have tried restarting the campaign and PC and have downloaded the latest version of the CoC rules etc.

Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to setup some PCs for a 1-shot I want to run tomorrow evening.
Thanks
You appear to be running some extensions?
I had the same issue and resolved it by going to options, changing the era to Modern, and then creating a new character sheet.Quote:

Yeah, just a theme and the "always visible" one, I have tried again without them and it makes no difference.
Yup, that works! Thanks very much HeckoX!
I wonder why it happens ... but I guess I don't really care that much now it's fixed.
I cannot replicate this.
CoC7E with no extensions -
Dodge and Sanity get filled out at Stat entry time.
Skills get auto-populated
I can't either now, seemed to be a one-off though HeckoX seems to have had the same problem. I seem to have a way of fixing it in future so I guess this goes on the "not urgent" pile. :)
HeckoX and fruitbat are you guys running Masks?
Nope, a conversion of a published module called Star on the Shore.Quote:

However, in a different game with only Keeper's and Player's and zero extensions, the same issue was present; shutting down the client didn't work.
So whatever it was, it doesn't seem to have been instance or session based.
Considering some of the previous bugs I've reported, I know that the CoC ruleset has various issues with hardcoded values.
Maybe an update shifted a reference to the existing 1920 era? This error would then only appear on campaigns that pre-existed the update, and thus used the old reference. So if you're trying to test on a newly created campaign, you would never be able to re-create the error, as FGU would set the new ref on campaign creation.
After the latest update the bonus dice rolls are completely borked (e.g. 40, 50 and 7 result in 11), and penalty dice rolls work only sometimes (e.g. 00, 40 and 8 result in 6).
And whispering with /w crashes the client within seconds.
Edit: and /help
Edit 2: chases don't work - there's a red line over the Chase icon in the tracker
i tried some bonus rolls on 2 different campaigns : I can confirm that it is a complete mess. Tried also the /help and /w : crash in a few seconds with this alert Attachment 52940 (excuse the quality, the alert stay for 1 or 2 seconds, then the program shut down.
Bonus Dice
@damned had mentioned that he was looking at the bonus dice situation, and I plan to jump in and help. I've been slowly evolving the client and core code to consolidate more capabilities, so that developers of third party rulesets don't have to; and I may have triggered something.
Slash Command Crash
I just pushed a hot fix for this. Please run a new Check for Updates.
Chases
I haven't made any changes to this, so I'll have to let @damned and @ianmward take a look.

Thanks for the hot fix, no more crash with slash commands.
Just pushed another hot fix for the client to address the bonus/penalty dice issue.
Regards,
JPG
The dice problem is fixed, thanks for the patch!
Two little items that I've noticed of late:
* Seems that PC's added to the Combat Tracker aren't having their Armor or Attacks fields populated. NPC's seem to work fine and updating value on NPC's the changes appear on the Combat Tracker.
* Dragging the Combat Tracker or Party Sheet to the hotkeys slots, neither get text labels but it works for other buttons like Story.
I've tried to show both issues in the this screenshot:

Hi sedgetone
Good capturing of all the needed data :)
PC data for Armor/Attacks is not copied to the CT. Attacks not copying over to CT is the same for almost all rulesets.
The other issue is a CoreRPG thing also - it does the same in 5E and other rulesets.
It's been months since I ran a game on FCU, so honesty completely forgot that. I presume the label issue is a Core issue too as I can recreate it in that ruleset too.
I think I've found a "bug", but it could just be user error.
When manually adding an NPC using Pulp Cthulhu settings, FGU is not correctly calculating the movement rates per the Pulp Cthulhu rules.
For example, when I added the Charlie Turner NPC from "Dead Man Stomp", FGU calculated his movement rate as 8. However, according to the Pulp Cthulhu rules (page 23), "if DEX and STR are each less than SIZ" then his movement rate should be 7.
I've attached images to hopefully help you make sense of what I'm trying to describe. This happens every time I manually add an NPC.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mindreader
Those rules are for Investigators not NPCs.
There is no Autocalc of Movement going on for NPCs as there are many examples of Monsters not "following Investigator rules".
The 8 is added as a default value but you can edit it.
Well, that would explain it. :DQuote:
