Just pushed a bunch of data updates to 5E modules, so you'll probably see some updates today.

I just tried this on my local version without any issues. (i.e. created a new encounter, opened NPC list, dragged an acolyte and black dragon into the encounter record, it created the entries correctly)
Any steps I am missing? Are you running any extensions?
Thanks,

[scratches head] I just tried again - after updating, removing extensions and with them - and it all works as it should. I guess that's good!
Join the 'wasting JPG's time' club. I've done this more than once :)Quote:

mils as in milliradians? I am used to 6400 mils to a circle...but the exact number depends on nation I believe....but that is just dredging up lessons form a long time ago.Quote:

spite,
I'm going to look into it, but the current FG client has always had troubles dealing with very large lists of any sort, and even with having lots of modules open at once. I just don't know if the architecture can handle all those modules open at once, at this point.
I'm guessing that you would have seen some slowness in the primary Story list and NPC list even with v3.1.7 with that many modules open.
With v3.2.0, we're talking ~2500 NPCs and ~4800 items with just the 5E modules I have on my machine, and trying to display those in a single list.
There are two things I think might be going on:
* The drawing code is having trouble handling thousands of individual list record windows (and possibly some numerical boundary considerations).
* The memory limit is getting reached, since having all those data modules open plus all the memory used by the windows.
I'm close to 1.7GB with my module set and that's about the boundary for 32-bit applications (2GB including stack) unless the OS supports the extra memory option (which bumps it to 3GB including stack). If it hits this boundary, it will cause a crash. This is what I guess is happening.

Fantastic tool for measuring/judging distance if you know the size of an object, and mils are way more accurate than degrees for shooting bearings/azimuths...17.78mils to a degree.Quote:

That's cool Moon, I figured it might be something to do with memory, but thought I'd at least throw it out there for completeness' sake.
In another note, I am aware this quite possibly is intentional, but if my players are rolling using FG, and I have my manual rolling on, any rol they make in the tower comes up on my manual rolling window. If this is accidental, there ya go. If it's intentional, what is the reasoning behind it?
In my thinking about this since last night's discovery and now, I was wondering about having a button on the manual roll window that would allow you to bypass the manual roll and let it go through with a RNG roll like normal? This was thought about since sometimes you want to manually roll certain rolls and not others (tables, and roll on tables spring to mind for me personally) and rather than having to go into options before a roll (especially for players rolling in the tower) and click the option on and off repeatedly, you could select an RNG option.
I think that came out clearly, but if I am doing a confusing job of explaining, let me know. It's a suggestion tacked onto the end of what I considered strange behaviour between the manual rolling and the dice tower.
In the continueing saga of the Mutants and Masterminds ruleset...
Now that tabs are back, they are not working properly. When I started up my campaign and made new tabs for my various story elements. It turns out, that when I moved them to a new tab, it made a duplicate of the original. The supposedly moved object, was still in the first / main tab. That persisted between reloading of the campaign. Not sure what exactly is going on, but it is not working as intended.
Maybe the "copy" is a link.. I dunno.

Lots of Modules and Data (spite)
Doug and I actually have been going back and forth constantly about the large data set issue since your post. We knew that it was a risk with moving to a master index approach, but the functionality was just too good once it was prototyped. After quite a bit of optimization, we got it to the point it was workable. However, the debate is the fact that the content keeps coming out. So, we are debating about slipping v3.2.0 after Gencon to implement a slightly different model where results are paged in 20-100 at a time, similar to a web store. We're thinking that should improve the performance quite a bit, but there is still some question, since the filtering/sorting still needs to be handled by the ruleset. I was sort of hoping the current approach would hold up for now, but it's borderline for the reason you mentioned.
Dice Tower Rolls (spite)
To tell you the truth, I didn't think about dice tower rolls much in conjunction with the manual roll option. So, I consider it "unspecified" behavior. ;)
Let me think about it a bit, but I think I'm going to lean towards the dice tower always bypassing manual rolls for now.
Links and Tabs (viresanimi)
Let me take a look at this again. I thought I checked that, but I have been working on a lot of different things.
Thanks,
JPG
In regards to the large data sets and lots of modules open... I connect to a lot of peoples computers to help them setup bits and pieces. I see a lot of GMs have the SRD and Basic and Licensed core books all open. Massive duplication and completely unnecessary. I also see 2 or 4 or more Adventure modules open. If you are running PotA why is CoS open? Not to mention how many of them have over shared this stuff to players - both sharing duplicate combinations of Basic/SRD/Licensed and sharing Adventure modules.Quote:

Just my 2c...!
Spurred by this, and probably only something that would help with 5E, but would it be worth setting up a "priority" type system for references? i.e. if the PHB is open, then the SRD and Basic Rules are ignored if opened?Quote:

Much obliged. Now my players can't see what the random encounters I rolled are. *too lazy to move note off of chat window*Quote:

I still think I should be charging you for all the Q/A I do (a.k.a. breaking things).
Seriously though, it happens with stories too, so it was possible all along. I think most GMs aren't crazy like me to only use one monitor.
Manual roll window, minus die aren't applying correctly, they are adding instead.
Case in point; bane on monster brings up this window https://puu.sh/q4g2l/5f41847faa.jpg
putting in the result of a 9 and a 3, should be 6 + att modifier. Instead results in additive https://puu.sh/q4g4g/6897f3d6a6.jpg
Hey Spite, don't quote me on this, but i believe the manual dice roll is to input what physical dice rolled. So you need to put in 9 in the d20 and -3 in the d4 slot. then it will work.Quote:

I get what you mean, but I didn't roll a -3, my dice only go from 1 to 4, haha.Quote:

Today, not sure what has changed but opening any campaign, or opening a new campaign even results in https://puu.sh/q6iM5/f9640101c0.jpg
Only on 5th edition ruleset
3.2.0 is neither a live release nor a finished product.Quote:

If you want to use extensions you should be using the live ruleset...
Yeap - that's what's been taking up all my time for the last couple of weeks: updates to ALL the DOEs, plus a new one :)Quote:

Just one arses opinion.Quote:

I was wondering if anyone would take at look at the vampire the masquerade ruleset from Earthworm3. We're on a sort of summer hiatus, but my players are anxious get going again and I've tried to make it work, but sadly don't have the skills to do it. All I want is for it to load up again and work.
Moonwizard wrote that the problem was: "The missing ruleset file message means that your VtM ruleset is trying to include the "campaign/campaign_story.xml" file. In the last version of CoreRPG, that file was also in the base ruleset, so it would just fall through and load the same file twice. That file has been removed from CoreRPG, so that includefile tag just needs to be removed from VtM ruleset also."
I would be very grateful to any helpful soul.

unzip it to a subfolder in your rulesets directory and find base.xml and open in notepad or notepad++
search for that filename and prefix it with <!-- and put --> at the end.
Save the file. Close FG (not reload) and then retry. I havent tested this - Im just padding out Moon Wizards instructions...
It is going to take more than just that, i went through the Base.xml and removed all references to the skipped files, and it still gives script errors in shortcuts and manager_library.luaQuote:

Well. I added the prefix / suffixes to all the xml files in the base.xml and now it loaded.
Now I get:
Script Error: [string "shortcuts"]:1: attempt to call field 'registerContainerWindow' (a nil value)
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_library.lua"]:50: attempt to call field 'addLibraryDockShortcut' (a nil value)
Aaaaaaand all the buttons are gone. It feels like a game of whack a mole and I don't know how to use a hammer. hi hi hi

yeah that's what i was getting atQuote:

Splendid. Now it works.
Except now I get a list of errors from from here to the moon if I open an npc / character sheet.
I've tried to look for the place to fix it, but to no avail.

You are attempting to run this in FG 3.2.0 Test? Because the ruleset seems to work just fine in the FG 3.1.7 Live.Quote:
