PFRPG2 ruleset - Release 17 now "live"

Sure, I know. But what I mean is that the input does not show at all for existing entries. It does for new properties only. So if I say, would like to take my old (not even in SR Bestiary) NPC and add some automation, I would have to copy-paste all properties from old inputs to the new ones. Just FYI.

Make sure you've enabled the campaign option to show the automation fields. Detailed in post #3 of this thread. If this is not what you're referring to then please post screenshots explaining your issue. Thanks.

I don't even have that "A" icon.

So here I did copy Bloodseeker from the Fall of the Plaguestone adventure.
Image 1: no "A" icon
Image 2: unlocked - no automation input in the current abilities
Image 3: Added new ability and it has Automation input.

What have you set for the Experimental Development -> Show Ability Automation Field in your campaign options?

Aaahh that way... I understood this "option" is the "A" icon itself. Got it now! Thanks for explanation.

Glad we got there! :)

The "A" indicates that there *is* some automation already there. This is used throughout the ruleset where automation has already been entered for a record.

At some point, I will update (SR) Bestiary to catch up with the times but, for obvious reasons, the importance of getting the official Bestiary updated to have all the automation work done for it (including processes and improvements yet to be implemented) take top priority. :)

I do know there's a formatting issue introduced with some of the new data structure which results in some oddities on the combat tracker. I hope it isn't too distracting. I believe Trenloe indicated that he would do an update that would eliminate this little irritant in the future.

I do have plans to release a new video giving further insight on Automation in the next couple days. I did record one quickly last week before we went off on our lakeside vacation but I wasn't satisfied with the audio quality so I will have to rerecord it. Hopefully, that'll help make automation even easier. :)

Do we know of any plans to update the adventure path modules for automation? It's already great to get the extra information in the combat tracker, but automation sure would be even better.

It's on my list. :) Rest assured, the Agents of Edgewatch series (AP3) will also come with it from the get-go.

Release 17b has gone live today. This is mostly APG compatibility updates/fixes - list of items here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...gust-11th-2020
