There You click get and then update fgu in order to fgu yo download it automatically.
Then You have to active the extension
I have a question, is there any way for the players to get the spell descriptions? I have a few players that dont mind the actions only, because the spell list is short and simple and my paladin and cleric want the spell descriptions because they have so many to pick from. or maybe have the spell descriptions during prep mode and the actions during combat? I as the GM love this sheet for pathfinder it makes setting things up for newbies simple and everything is so easy to find
I developed this with 3.5e in mind, where nothing besides the SRD is licensed and pretty much everyhtign homebrew has no short descriptions, that's why I got rid of them.Quote:

Greetings,
My gaming group is restarting our dormant PFRPG1e game (which is the game that I run). We cycle through about 4 different systems/campaigns/VTTs, and so this game has lain fallow for several years. This means that the skills and knowledge associated with running this game (on FG) have likewise been unused for that interval.
In addition to that, I'm also moving the campaign to FGU. This means that not only am I reacquainting myself with long-idle skills and knowledge, but I must add new skills/knowledge (w.r.t. FGU).
On our first couple of nights I was reminded (by players who are also refreshing their unused knowledge) that FG's PFRPG1e character sheet lacks some automation features that they think should be present...
Anyway, that's the background for this post (because I'm intending to apply the Advanced Character Sheet extension.)
My first question is related to one of my player's Monk character: How does the Advanced Character Sheet account for a Base Attack Bonus that specifies a second attack, e.g. +7/+2 (Level 10 Monk - and, of course, eventually there will be 3 attacks).
Thanks!! This looks like a great addition to PFRPG1e.
The weapons section on the actions tab, find the weapon. Change the number of attacks to 2 and then the 4 boxes to the right should automatically be +7. +2. X. X.
X being blank.
I am available on discord if you want to chat or go through some things. Also mi signature has a link to extensions that can really help automate things.
Also, and more generally, there are fields which seem like they could be automated (even on the original sheet), but aren't. For example, the aforementioned BAB... This is specified by level on the Monk (or other) Class sheet. Why not extract it from the relevant table and apply it automatically? This also goes for the Save bonuses (in the same table)?
Just curious.
Thanks, again!
(I need to read this entire thread (and I will), it will probably answer some of the questions I have.)

Cool. Thanks for that.

That's great! I'll check them out.
Also, I'll make sure to subscribe to the Discord channel. [edit: D'Oh! You didn't mention a channel, you mentioned your username... Got it!]
Cheers!
Regarding the BAB and the #att field, I did see that before, and should have tried making changes to the player's sheet to see how it worked.
However, my question actually stemmed from the fact that the BAB field (which must be manually set) doesn't allow for the syntax that appears in the Class table. i.e., you can't specify a BAB of "+7/+2" for a level 10 Monk, or "+16/+7/+2" for a level 16 Monk. Where do those 2nd and 3rd numbers come from when you change the #att field?
Discord me, there are several ext and Mods that will automate that none are specifically this extension :)
@Morenu, Thanks for the correction over in Kelrugem's thread... I posted my original question while looking directly at @Zarestia's last post, and when you responded my subconscious did a reset and substituted your name... I'm all better now. :-)
Also, I failed to mention that I had previously discovered your "PF1E FGU Mods" spreadsheet, and had already placed a copy in prominent view of my extension adding activity. Thanks for that. Very helpful!

would you mind if Advanced Charactersheet's layout is something wrong now in 3.5E.
broken layout at
Theme:FG Classic
Theme:FG Dark
Theme:FG Dungeon
Theme:FG Leather
Theme:FG Classic of (3.5E) ruleset (2023-08-29).
but these are OK
Theme:FG Light
Theme:FG Simple Brown
Theme:FG Simple Gray
also doesnt use Theme too
could you check it please.
i like your Advanced Character Sheet . it's great.
I can confirm that the following themes with Adv. Character Sheet are broken for me as well (see attachment) in PF1e:Quote:

Thanks for testing and reporting and sorry for my absence, I'll hopefully fully come back at the end of the year when all is sorted out in real life.
For now, I'll take a look at this problem this week!
No worries, RL comes first. and I posted it to SW since it works with half of the SW themes, I suspect it is on their end more than yours. either the 4 working ones actually need updated AND your extension does too OR the 4 broken ones were missed and need updated and no change to you.
I've now corrected most obvious changes on my part. The top part of the character sheet though is a bit weird/tricky since some themes now override those parts for whatever reason.
I've created a new post for the devs to look at and comment on. If this is intended, I'll see how I can fix it on my part.
For now, only the misalignments are fixed.

Recently I had experienced issues that may be related to this extension.
lately ever since this most recent update to fantasy grounds several of my players who play casters are having issues with there sheet being sluggish to react.
when on the spell section scrolling is sluggish and delayed and repositioning the sheet is as well.
I will do more research on what may be causing this but i thought i should at least let you know.
The more spells they had the worse it was.
Would it be possible to release a version of this extension that ONLY changes the 'Actions' tab to the one you have made here? Every other tab of this sheet is always broken for me, but the actions tab is not only made much better than the native FG one, it always works without fail.
I did more poking around and this seems to be a general issue with fantasy ground and prepared casters.Quote:

I would think this is simply the more items are in the lists on the actions tab the more resources it takes up. Casters would be the worst for this. The more things on the character sheet, more list items, the more resources are taken up and the slower the machine will be. Unless of course you have a 16 core i9 with 32 gigs of ram. :) I regularly see FG taking up a multitude of gigs of ram by itself.Quote:

meaning that the Nested list of a spell sheet was being updated an insane amount of times within a frame the extra processing caused the sheet to be unresponsive in several key ways. This extension actually helped lessen the load by splitting it up into different tabs. meaning it did not need to load or update it all each frame.
Sometimes underlying software updates are the worst!
It seems broken with the last update :O
Edit: fixed!
4.4.8 update seems to have broken something.
My players are getting an error when trying to create or open character sheets:
[ERROR] Handler error: [string "CoreRPG:scripts/manager_characterlist.lua"]:173: attempt to call field 'getData' (a nil value)
This goes away if I disable this extension: EXTENSION: 3.5E/PFRPG Advanced Charsheet - v1.5 by Zarestia
Not seeing any error as GM.
Unfortunately I have a lot of extensions installed, so the problem may be some interaction between them. I can post the list if that's any use.
Any advice on pinpointing the root cause would be great.
I removed just this extension and the error went away.
I reverted the corerpg, 3.5 and pf1 pak files to what they were before the latest patch and the errors went away.
Going to back stuff up from now on before doing an update, cause this one was painful.
The items in the other button/tab completely disappeared from the Actions tab.
Interesting, As GM I get an error message when I log into FGQuote:

I don't believe it's another mod because If I disable all other mods and only use Adv Char Sheet I still get the exact same error
I beleive it has something to do with the change where character portraits are always on the screen with the new version of FG
They do not appear on the screen with AdvChar Sheet enabled
Same issues, and it's definitely a conflict with the new portrait stuff.
On the GM side, the console always pops open at start (sometimes no error). On the player side, it spams them with error messages like above. Happens for them on opening sheet, or attempting to type into chat.
Hi,
Love Advanced Charsheet, but I hope this gets updated!
I would hate to have to toss this extension.
Oh, and as per rmilmine, I can confirm that it seems that it is just this extension giving me error messages.
I don't know if it is just the portraits as per one post.
Possibly the listcalls on the charsheet are an issue as I see in the error log.
If you go into the CoreRPG and extract the file \desktop\scripts\characterlist_entry.lua
Extract all of this extension in the extensions folder and replace the file of the same location and name with the CoreRPG file.
This will until this is fixed get rid of the error until that file can be fixed with what changes were made to it.
Well, that seems to do the trick.
Now for some testing.
Thanks, will try that workaround.
Looks like Zarestia hasn't posted in almost a month, hope all is well.
Not sure I totally understand this, anyone got time for a short video or something?Quote:

Go to your extension folder, rename the Advanced Charsheet to a .zip, and unzip it. Find the file with the same name and replace it with the one you copied. Rezip the extension and rename it back to .ext
This worked for me as well, though I still hope the actual extension gets updated.
Got it, thx.
I assume that on an FG update, if adv char. sheet has not been updated by the author, then this change will not be edited. Or will FG match see the new edit date that doesn't match the forge file and redownload the broken version?
Sry for the inconsistency on my part. I am well, just got many real life things going on (new job, vacation, moving, etc.). I hope I can find some time the coming days to update all my stuff :D :)Quote:

This was just a particularly annoying way that the update broke things, but we still appreciate your great extension, and your response.
For those who don't want to dig into the program for the fix, an alternative is to have all your players type "/console skip" into the chat. The portraits will still be missing, but there will be no more spamming of errors. Unfortunately, it would need to be done every log in, I believe.
I am happy everything is ok. RL always comes first. I just looked to see if you posted anything and realized it had been about 30 days and I got concerned. No worries, glad you are taking care of things. be wellQuote:

FG will still download the latest ext file, but the app won't use it if you have it also in a folder.
On another note good to hear that you are busy in real life instead of something worse.
Uploaded a new version to the Forge which should fix the issue.
Fixed
