Kelrugem's extensions

stuck:

custom spell-like ability with this in school field: Necromancy [fear, mind-affecting]

this effect is not picking up the "fear" and won't apply penalty:

Code:

---

IFTAG: fear, curse; SAVE: -2

---

i tested fear spell and it works.

where else to add "fear" tag in custom spell-like ability?

*****

nvm: found where tags should go... in the cast / attack action

I know this is something probably already on your list, but I do use a more recent version of FGU, and recently added your extension. Unfortunately on rest, when using PFRPG/3.5, 320k lines get added to the log, and the game freezes for a good few minutes.

Each line in the log is the same.

I notice this was mentioned in March, however with it causing so much delay, I thought it worth bringing up again.

Thanks

Yeah, message should not cause any problem, and it will be fixed in the upcoming patch :)

However, the game freeze is strange and also the number of 320k (!) lines is absolutely new to me; can you give a detailed description of what you are doing? :) Or is it just rest? Because I never had this problem when I ran my campaign. And also make sure to test this without any other extensions loaded :)

Hey I am just posting about a compatibility issue The Boss Bar extension https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/2983/view that adds a large health bar for a creature you want at the bottom of the map. The owner of it is working on porting to pathfinder from 5e. he has a lot working but still in beta testing to fine tune things. there seems to be a conflict when rolling damage Attachment 67147 This is on a clean campaign with just the two extensions.

Hi :)

Oh, a nice extension! Oki, I try to look at that once I have time :) I hope it may resolve itself after updating my extension for the next bigger FG patch :)

Apologies for the delay.

It is just when doing a long rest.
There are a number of extensions active, but only when I remove better combat effects does the hang stop.

• Advanced Item Actions
• Cohorts and Companions
• Remove Effect Tag
• Spell Formatting Improvement
• Upgrade NPC Actions
• Hero Points for CoreRPG

Thanks again

Joe

No worries, no need to apologize :) Oh, I see, maybe an incompatibility with better combat effects :) (just a heads-up: This extension may also stop working next week, after the next big patch of FG) Sounds like a loop error

Thanks again for the report :)

Yup already told my players, anyone who updates won't join the session and will be auto rolling 1's ;-)

I will very likely not be able to adjust my extension on time, due to preparing my own campaign, job etc, so that I can only do it slowly piece by piece :) Also because I have to understand the new features first; I have to admit, I do not really understand what is going to be added by looking at this list of updates :D

Thus, if you want to be able to use my extension after this patch, you should wait with updating FG until I give my Okay :)

I have an odd error to report for PFRPG/3.5 (I only use Pathfinder 1e):

With the most recent Fantasy Grounds update, I can't roll damage from spells on to targets. I mean this in in every way.

Targeting does not work
Drag and drop from NPC sheet does not work
Drag and drop from player sheet does not work
Drag and drop from combat tracker does not work
Drag and drop from chat log does not work

I isolated this mod and I can confirm this is causing it but there is no error log I can post!

That's the weird part, my instinct is something to do with the overlays but I have no way of testing it.

Sorry if this makes no sense but I'm lost tbh.

Thanks for the report :)

Yes, the extended automation extension is certainly not compatible with the newest patch at the moment. Sadly, you may need to wait a bit until I find time to update the extension until it works again; I will write in this forum once I am done :)

Thank you! You're the best!

hehe, thanks :)

First, Thank you for the update.

This extension adds a lot to 3.5 which does not get a lot of love. I have been going through the spells and feats over the last few months making effects for them in an attempt to have my own highly automated module.

Second, do you happen to have a place with a list of what got updated on the 15th?

Thanks.

Thanks for the words :) I hope I will find enough time at some point to update my extension, but right now I feel quite a lot overwhelmed with updating it (and I had to prepare a lot for my private campaign), so that it will certainly take weeks if not months for me to update the extension; thanks for the patience :)

The 5e effects wiki has a lot of material regarding the new effects (though I personally think it would be better that there is a general effects wiki; it is a bit "hidden" to go to a different ruleset wiki for that) :) See also: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...pdates-2026-05

Hello again!

Just wondering if there is an update to this, as the problem still persists.

No rush, just wondering how it is going.

I updated some little parts of the code already (not uploaded to FG forge yet), but the biggest parts will still take a while sadly. Still certainly some weeks maybe? I will let you all know once I uploaded a new version :)

In case this hasn't already been reported:

[5/24/2026 11:54:24 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "Full OverlayPackage:..ipts/data_common2.lua"]:143: bad argument #1 to 'insert' (table expected, got nil)

The effect is that any typed damage always shows as untyped, so a weapon that is bludgeoning is untyped.
Ran into this whilst setting up a spiritual weapon attack.
Affects overlay & alt overlay. Using neither allows the type to work.
Having just figured out how to set up the Hardy Dwarf extended effect, an updated version at some point would be great.

Thanks for the report :)

Yes, certainly, there should be a lot of errors right now :D

I went ahead and spent more time on looking at the new code. It is certainly a major change in the code (which is good!) and I will certainly need a lot of time updating my extension; the culprit is not necessarily the lack of time, but more that I personally do not want to spend 100% of my FG time into coding but also in preparing my campaign and playing it :) (I would not like to tell my players to now wait for a long time until we can play again :D) Which is why I won't update my local FG version at the moment

Thus: For now I unlisted all my extensions except the custom damage type extensions. But no worries: Once I am done with updating the extension, I will list it again, but it may really take a while :) I just unlisted those to avoid that people accidentally download it and try using it in the newest version of FG :) (and people updating FG should then also lose the extension, so that errors are hopefully avoided)

Thanks for the patience! :)

So new error with Extended overlay when on map and combat tracker is open i get a repeating error for a check for is visible which is getting nulled. I am looking into what might be causing it because it does not seem to effect my other games only one.

Hey Kelrugem! I love your mod!

May I ask if by "a while" you mean days, weeks or months? I need to know what my next move should be with my campaign. I updated without realizing (or backing up!) so I want to know if this is a "cancel next weekly session" "go on hiatus for a month or two" or "Rebuild the campaign" situation. Not trying to rush you or even ask for a date, just wanted to know roughly what we're looking at.

Many thanks!

Yeah, nothing will work right now as long as my extension is not updated as of yet :D

Hmm, difficult to say. I think I understand now how to rewrite my code, but it will certainly take a while because I mostly have time during weekends to look at it, but then I also want to prepare my own campaign and so on :) So, I am a bit split among all my FG stuff :D
Certainly weeks, maybe months?

However: Do not wait for the extension to play! You can also play without it, rolling certain things manually, and many other extensions are already updated like BCE(G) which also works for 3.5e/PF1 and adds a lot :)

He Kel I am getting this set of errors when i remove Any of the Extended Automation from my two of my three games my problem is while i can go down the road to see what ext is the problem i want to see if i could get a hint from the error message itself to see if I can get an idea what going on. but the logs Truncate the names so it is difficult to tell. Do you know if there is any way to get a version of the lg without truncation.

for reference I am getti

I will wait: It's not an exaggeration when I say my whole campaign is held together by your extension :P
As a DM I have too many things to keep in mind (and my brain is old & faulty), so basically everything in my campaign (or almost everything) is hardwired to your extension (iftag, niftag, accuracy, vorpal, fortif, just to mention a few). It's not the first time I refrain from updating while waiting, anyway :D

that is certainly my extension :)

As said: My extension will certainly throw errors all over the place now :) Or did you mean you get these error messages even without my extension? (though it shoud be mine because of the "alternative icons" in the chat message, relating to the label of the version with tahl_liadon's icons)

In general I do sadly not know how to avoid the truncation of error messages. But there are buttons to export the error logs. Are the messages also truncated in the error logs? :)

hehe, true, not the first time this happened :D Though that time is the most severe (I think) :)

That is very odd. Removing an extension shouldn't continue errors. That just isn't how lua works. Lua is pretty binary, it exists or doesn't. If you are getting errors then something MUST still be enabled. I would check your mod load. If you are trying this on multiple campaigns, remember you have to disable it on each campaign.

If somehow it is actually throwing errors even not turned on, go into your extensions folder and delete the extension.

If you still have issues, go into a server that has the issue and at the top of the console you can hit "compile logs". Hit that button, it will probably shove it on your desktop and upload that here. If Kel doesn't have time I may take a look at it but I am very busy with projects myself as a matter of urgency for my game as well XD

EDIT: lol must have been typing same time as Kel was!

If Kel is happy and I find time I could try and make a quick and dirty mini kels extension for those who might still need it. I was going to do it but ended up making custom mods that kinda do some kel stuff + stuff I wanted.

I don't recall from my patching which stuff the mod covers vs core now but would only take a hot minute.

I will wait for Kel's ok before doing anything like that though. Public or not, I prefer to get the a-ok from the author <3

I got those Errors without either extension loaded alternative or normal extended.
It is the same campaign.
on further investigation it said that an extension was called automation something was loaded but looking on the extension.xml no such mod was loaded.
Was fixed by nuking the XML file that holds all the loaded ext.
That post was copied from the Compiled log so yes the log truncates things.

I think a Demi Lich has possessed my fantasy grounds.

Ah, understood. Unfortunately, I tested it and my campaign does not seem usable without the extension. It throws cascading errors pretty broadly, not just missing automation.

My only usable backup is also very old (2 years!), so I’m going to look into whether I can roll Fantasy Grounds back or salvage the campaign into a clean build.

No pressure on the update, though. I appreciate the timeframe. That tells me I should plan around this rather than wait on it.

Hi Kaiser,

What precisely makes your campaign unusable without Kel's extension? I have already created some home mods that cover things I want, and a lot of stuff was put into core.

If you can tell me what exactly you are having pains with I could either throw you what I use or advise if it was moved to core support.

Also, can you please export your logs from inside fantasy grounds and post the zip here. I can attempt to diagnose.

Does it do this even after removing the extention?

Hmm, that should not happen if you unload the extension. The extension only adds extra codes but doesn't adjust data etc.; for example, I just loaded my year old campaign without my extensions, while FG was already updated (on my laptop, I play my campaign on another computer where I am not updating currently). But no error so far :)

Maybe try what Arimil wrote above? Maybe some issue with the xml file holding data about loaded extensions?

I have been working on some fixes to Kel's extension and at his suggestion I have posted my fix version on the following thread

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...965#post764965

I have also passed all my changes onto Kel to hopefully help him in getting the official version back up and running
