Hi guys,
I noticed in "The Haunting" module (as per attached image and reference) a duplicate text block. It should be correct the one in the "Pushing the Rolls" block and removed the one before the "Clipping Files" link.
Attachment 53462
Thank you..
Thanks, I will fix this.
Module fixed. I had to update all the text due to encoding difference between FGC and FGU, which resulted in small overhaul of the reference manual to the builder standard.
Hi @Valyar,
thank you all noted..
But the way I don't know if you are also in charge for ruleset (if not this post is to all!!).. but normally in other ruleset (I think 5e for example) when I drag and drop a entry in a category to the same category the system (correctly) duplicate the entry and append the words (copy).. This is very useful to understand what is original record and that is the new one..
In Coc 7e ITEMS management it seems this didn't work (as per following image it will work perfectly for PARCELS instead)
Attachment 53622..
One last thing I know It make no difference but I try to find the best "mood" for my players so every graphic aspect is important..
Follow you will see my set up (that I love) and I have to admit that the red circled image is absolutely unwatchable as it heavily blurs and it could think about giving it a renewal ..
Attachment 53623
I love CoC and it is my "second life".. I am near 30 years that collect (I have a huge collections of original modules) and DM it..
ad maiorem cthulhu gloriam (guys)
Hi redba,
Thanks for taking the time to post and help us to improve the product.
I am one of the developers of the CoC7e ruleset, so I will take a look at the issues you raised, and see what is going on.

Attachment 53667
This happens when in the Manual Roll Box you write the personal rolled number in the textbox and then you click the "tick" to confirm it.. after this error if you click on "dice" to roll the system work correctly.. [I tested in an empty new campaign without any ext loaded]
2) Converting a module I noticed that there is no way to manage Mythos Books and so I asked me if it is not possibile to add almost a simple way to manage them (I am not necessarily talking of a new FEATURE but at something to manage a book like a special item with the possibility to write inside all relevant entries and maybe drag&drop spells)
I know that a lot of things I ask or suggest are obtainable in other ways (near to all is possbile with a text box) but I want to imagine that you (like me) can "love" a little more a game that is still a milestone in the world of role-playing games (even if I admit to being biased)
To conclude I love Coc Ruleset and I can confirm that is absolutely confortable to play on it..
Thank you for making this possibile to you and all the other developer..
Soon
#1 is something related to CoreRPG that I need to look into.
I'll leave #2 to @ianmward, since that is CoC specific.

Hiya,
The Major Wound, Temporary Insanity and Indefinite Insanity indicators seem to have an issue. I pulled the latest update about 1hr ago and have no extensions loaded.
If you toggle one of them on via the relevant Character Sheet, the Party Sheet updates correctly. If the Keeper changes one of these status indicators on the Party Sheet, then it's not reflected on the Character Sheet.
Simon
CoC 7e Reference module
Occupations - Military Officer
Survival skill spelling error
Occupations - Missionary
Mechanical Repair should be Mech Repair
Occupations - New Occupation
I presume this shouldn't be there.
Occupations - Soldier
The two option skills slots should have the following First Aid, Mech Repair, or Other Language.
Thank you sedgetone for taking the time to report these. We’ll get them fixed up.
Garand M1 should be able to shoot 1 round per round, FG item list says 1/2.
Thanks Magnimost,Quote:

Hi, my CoC campaign seems to have developed a slightly annoying bug. The Indefinite Insanity check box for one of the Characters keeps getting activated for no apparent reason, seems to happen at the start of every session when the character is first opened.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Right click on the current sanity and select the option to reset session sanity. The sheet keeps track of the starting sanity and the current sanity and when it drops to less than 80% triggers the temporary insanity. At the beginning of a new session it should be reset. This doesn’t happen automatically as what constitutes a session is a little vague and up to the keeper.Quote:

Ah, right, never spotted that before - thanks.
Pulp Cthulhu:
"NationalGuardNational Guard" 'generic character' NPC has a duplicated name.
Last paragraph in "The Pulps" chapter, beginning with "It is a tribute to..." appears twice in a row.
Pulp Cthulhu, reference manual, "archetypes" section, "Dreamer" archetype:
"Tribe Member." uses the Archetype font/size/whatever you want to call it, rather than being 'normal' text at the end of the occupation list.
Thanks Nyarly Dude, we’ll get those fixed up.
Pulp Cthulhu, reference book, "Optional:Psychic Powers" rule -- the Medium (00%) is in the normal-text font, attached to the end of the "Divination" description. Should be separate.
"Weird Science" section, "Building Gadgets" -- "performs a lowpowered function" should presumably be "performs a low-powered function".
Interesting quirk with NPC sheets for CoC 7E (with Pulp loaded and Pulp rule option on, didn't check with them off yet). If the "Race" button is checked, then values for "Build" and "MP" are not computed and instead are left at 0. This holds if I unlock then lock the record w/o making any changes. If I unlock the record, uncheck 'Race', and re-lock it, then Build and MP are calculated based on the average values. If I then unlock the record again, check the 'Race' button, and re-lock it, the calculated Build and MP are not reset to 0 but instead remain as-is.
Related, presumably unintentional: e.g. if I take the 'Bear, Black" entry, unlock it, and uncheck the Race box, the 'Dodge' value in the Combat Section (but not the Pulp Combat section, where the 'Dodge' value is left blank) is immediately calculated to be 25 based on the Dexterity of 50. However, as soon as I re-lock the record, the Combat Section's Dodge box is cleared again -- even if I left the Race box unchecked. This also holds for the 'Skeleton', although in this case the Dodge value that is populated and then unpopulated is correctly pulled from the Skills section (30%) rather than the calculating it as the base of Dex/2.
Thanks, I’ll fix those.Quote:

"Pulp Cthulhu" / "Reference / Weapon Lists":
* "Submachine Guns ( )" and "Machine Guns ( )" table titles should probably be "Submachine Guns (i)" and "Machine Guns (i)" for Impale.
* Submachine guns are listed as using "Firearms (shotgun)" rather than "Firearms (SMG)".
* Submachine guns that say "or Full auto" -> "or full auto"
* Machine guns: "Cost 20s/Modern" -> "Cost 30s"
* Explosives, Heavy Weapons, Misc: the price for the 75mm Field Gun needs checking ("$1500/-" is the 20s/Modern cost; the 30s cost should have only a single value)
Going to assume that the separate "Firearms (Rifle)" and "Firearms (Shotgun)" skill listings are like that in the original despite an unused "(R/S)" showing up in the acronyms list for "Rifle/Shotgun" and them being one skill, because the Keeper Rulebook (8th printing anyway) is also silly in this specific way. It's Chaosium's mistake, not that of the FG conversion.
Re: the "Key" section following the weapon list tables,
Don't know if the "Cost" definition is also off in the Chaosium text itself. The description here indicates "Split by 1920s / modern era" which is appropriate for Keepers / Investigator books, but not for a book in which the costs are all singular costs specific to the 1930s (apart from the 75mm artillery mentioned above, which is -- the 1920s / modern" cost for some reason).
For similar reasons, suspicious of the "Common in Era" entry existing; and "Stun" (unused here -- no Mace spray, no Taser).
The entries for "Claymore Mine", "Mace spray": these are for items not in the tables (Modern era only).
"References and Inspiration" chapter
* somewhat odd that "www.airships.net" is unique in that it's just the domain name, no mention of a web site name
* B. Schoedesack should not be separate, but instead a continuation of the King Kong entry (as in "Ernest B. Schoedsack")
"Hunting Horror" NPC sheet:
Contains
Spells. Roll D100. If the result is less than the monster's INT, it knows a number of spells equal to the D100 roll.
in the top section (after Armor).
In the Notes section, it gives the correct guidance for Spells (i.e. matching print version of the Keeper's Guide) --
"Spells: Hunting horrors have a 25% chance of knowing 2D10 spells."
It also does not have a Dodge value specified, although the Keeper's Manual explicitly gives 35/17/7. While the manual does not appear to explicitly specify, I think the intent is for the listed Dodge values to be used instead of one computed from half DEX -- e.g. Insects from Shaggai have a much higher Dodge than average DEX/2 (77% vs 40), while Lions have a much worse Dodge than average DEX/2 (25% vs 47) as do Snakes (25% vs 32). This is questionable -- perhaps the computed versions should be used when the discrepancy from print would be within a couple of points (*most* monster stat blocks are), with fixed versions used for larger deviations.
(Edit: Checked snakes, lions, insects. Guess this is probably what is currently being done with the sheet. Sounds good to me.)
The Derelict
Story 2.3.3 Medical Room
"Can examination area" -> "An examination area"
"more series injuries" -> "more serious injuries"
Story 2.5.0 Superstructure: Level 4 (Senior Officers' Quarters)
"level three contains the captain's cabin..." presumably should start with "level four".
.?
There are a couple of instances of ".?" where they should probably just be "." -- specifically, at the end of Story 1.0.1 and the end of Story 1.3.
There is also such a .? at the end of the skills list in the NPC sheet for the Captain's Mate.
Thanks Nyarly Dude
will be uploading fixes to Core Rulebook for this Tuesdays patch update. More to come.
In The Haunting 7E module, there are unknown characters throughout the module that need to be replaced for FGU. For example, the following characters should probably be an em dash:
- Reference Manual > The Boston Globe: in the Keeper's Note section "...people they could meetXthe desk clerk..."
- Reference Manual > The Central Library: in the text of Handout 4
- Story 2.1 The Boston Globe
- Story 2.2 The Central Library
There are more scattered throughout the Reference Manual and Story entries.
Some apostrophes may also need updating, e.g. in Handout 7 in Reference Manual > Hall of Records.
I'm having an issue with one of the player maps in the module "The Haunting 7E". The map is titled "The Corbitt House Plan (Players)" and the asset name is "the-house-player.jpg". The map appears blank to me, and when I try to load it, I get the following console error:
[11/27/2022 8:56:08 AM] [ERROR] Graphic: Unable to load file (modules/CHA23131COC7E/the-house-player.jpg) (*)
That is a weird error to get since the image file should be in vault/CHACOC7EFGTH.dat
That's odd, since I'm not seeing any data that refers to "23131" in the module data.
Can you try right clicking on the image in the campaign Images list, and selecting the Revert option?
Regards,
JPG
That fixed it. Sorry for the false alarm. I also noticed that several of my images had the "Edited" icon next to them, so I went through and reverted them all since I did not actually modify them. This particular campaign was created back in 2020 so maybe something weird happened during an upgrade somewhere along the way. Anyhow, thank you for your help.
No worries. Also, you can Revert the whole module in a campaign my opening the Modules window, right clicking on the module cover/title, and selecting Revert there.

Horror on the orient express: Nocturne chapter
When I open this chapter, all I get is a couple of pages, it should be longer than this!

Can anyone help?
Ruleset v2022-11-11 Call of Cthulhu 7e module, Reference Manual. Appendices Equipment Lists, 1920's has a lot of character corruption in the pricing: Ï¿
Also these entries:
* Introducing Harvey Walters
* Step 4: Create a Backstory: Significant People bullet point 5
* Sample Occupations
Pulp Cthulhu manual: This has similar problems too.
* Step 4 - Determine Occupation
* Step 6 - Creating a Backstory: Significant People table, entry 5
* Culture
* Equipment Lists
* References and Inspiration
TABLE 10 and TABLE11 also have corruption in their titles
I have passed on to the Dev who did this one.Quote:

I am thinking there has been something like that yes.
Thanks for spotting this johnw0072, I have fixed it and submitted it to SmiteWorks for it to be pushed out.Quote:

Dead Light issues
NB: I don't have a non-FGU version of this adventure so can't check whether this oddness matches the original text or whether there's another error here. There are some cases where I note below that phrasing or diction strikes me as extremely odd, but where one would need to check the adventure itself to know if the oddness was in the original text or whether this was a transcription error.
Story 0.1 - section heading "Converstion Notes" should be "Conversion Notes". "necesarry" should be "necessary".
Story 1.1 Multiple occurrences of "caf" that should be "café". Marys astonishment" should be "Mary's astonishment". The full phrase "Mary's astonishment over for this young woman" is grammatically odd, maybe wrong. ('Mary's astonishment regarding this young woman" would be more proper, I think.). "Marys hate" should be "Mary's hate". "Mary Lakers jealousy" should be "Mary Laker's jealousy". "the Webbs house" possibly should be "the Webbs' house". "Doctor Webbs shoulder" should be "Doctor Webb's shoulder". "strangesmelling" should be "strange-smelling". "bone deep chill" possibly should be "bone-deep chill".
Story 1.2 The "can be found on Page 25" in reference to the Dead Light's NPC stats should probably be replaced with a link to the NPC sheet.
Same for the "See the Dead Lights profile for further details (page 25)". "Physical constancy" is odd; perhaps "physical consistency"? Probably worth checking the original text. "principle vulnerabilities" should be "principal vulnerabilities". "Euclidian reality" should be "Euclidean reality". "Webbs cellar" should be "Webb's cellar". There probably should be a comma after "At the keepers discretion", and "keepers" should be "Keeper's".
Story 2.0 The "Bound by the alien phrases... sacrificial victim" leader seems out of place on this entry and seems more appropriate for an entry discussing the process of controlling the Dead Light; just a mention that control is possible (Story 1.2, Story 2.5.1, Story 3.0.0) with just a -hint- that a sacrificial victim is involved. Another 'page 19' reference should be a link instead. Another 'caf' instance missing the final letter.
Story 2.2 'caf' again. "rainsodden", possibly should be "rain-sodden".
Story 2.2.0 "middle aged" should be "middle-aged".
Story 2.3. 'caf' again.
Story 2.5. 'caf' again. "Emilias" should be "Emilia's". "single stored" probaby should be "single-storied". "colonial era property" -> "colonial-era property". "thieves attack" should be "thieves' attack". "mementoes" should be "mementos".
Story 2.5.0. "Clems pocket" should be "Clem's pocket". 'caf' again.
Story 2.5.1 "funny smelling" possibly should be "funny-smelling". "leather- bound" should be "leatherbound". It is odd that this story entry mentions a key on Webb's body, while there is no reference to it in Story 2.5.0 where Webb's body actually *is*; there probably should be a Spot Hidden roll mentioned in 2.5.0, but maybe the omission is true to the original. "doctors pocket-watch fob" should be "doctor's pocket-watch fob". "un-emotive" possibly should be "unemotive".
Story 2.5.2 "Emilia Webbs Bedroom" should be "Emilia Webb's Bedroom". "Emilias" should be "Emilia's".
Story 2.5.3 "Doctor Webbs Bedroom" should be "Doctor Webb's Bedroom".
Story 3.0 "one-byone" should be "one-by-one". Another 'caf'. "Doctor Webbs journal" should be "Doctor Webb's journal". Not sure why CMI/CMF are explained as abbreviations but MR (Mythos Rating) is not.
Story 4, Story 5 do not exist.
Story 6.0.0 "Dr. Webbs journal" -> "Dr. Webb's journal"; possibly spell out Dr. -> "Doctor" to be consistent with the rest of the text, or replace previous "Doctor Webb['s]" with "Dr. Webb['s]".
Story 7.1. "dark haired' probably should be "dark-haired". "Webbs secret" -> "Webb's secret".
Story 7.2 "hasnt" -> "hasn't".
Story 7.3 'caf' again. "12-g shotgun" should be "12-ga shotgun" or "12-gauge" shotgun. Oddity: there is a reference to the shotgun not being on his person, but it does not say where it *is*.
Story 7.4 "A shade under 5 tall" should probably be "A shade under 5' tall". "Webbs cottage" should be "Webbs' cottage". "Emilias arrival" should be "Emilia's arrival". 'caf' again. "Sam Kheelham" should be "Sam Keelham". "selfpreservation" should be "self-preservation".\
Story 7.5. "Theres so much rain" should be "There's so much rain".
Story 7.6 "Boltons criminal element" should be "Bolton's criminal element".
Story 7.7 contains a page number reference that should be replaced with a link.
NPC sheets
Renaming the section from "NPCs - Dead Light" to just "Dead Light" would make it less redundant.
All the NPC sheets including those for the Dead Light itself are missing skill % for offensive combat skills in the combat section, resulting in e.g. Brawl of 0. This is the case even after adding to the combat tracker.
The "Notes" section for "The Dead Light" could use paragraph breaks, e.g. between attacks.
Re: Billy Esterhouse's NPC sheet, "underlying insanityloss" should be "underlying insanity; loss"
The Dead Light sheet list a Build of 1 and a DB of +1d4, while the story entry 7.7 gives a Build of 2 and DB +1d6. Perhaps a conversion issue... STR+SIZ is 160, while the threshold for Build 2/DB 1d6 is 165 in 7E.
I've forwarded to the DLC developer for that product, @MadBeardMan.

Minor typo in the description of the "Charm" skill, re: pushing:
"overtly flattering the target with a ection" should be "overtly flattering the target with affection". This is only present for the Skill reference; the book text is correct.
