Awesome. Didn't realize that. Thanks for clarifying!

noelyuk At least one other Mac user has posted similar....

It's a very good upgrade overall. Good work by Smiteworks.
I understand the need of minimum width for images because of the title and Unidentified Map/Image fields (at least that's why I think it's there) but this is really killing the image quality. I have 350X450 images at ~200 kb or less that look sharp in my image editor or viewer but look like potatoes in FG. Am I going to have to spam the players' screen with images twice as wide just to get a decent result? If it is indeed the need for image name and unidentified map/image in the upper portion of the window, why not tuck it in with the other tools like mask, draw, erase, etc.?

For example, a player rolls a skill check into the 'Dice Tower', and cannot see the result. I sometimes like to share the result, and could just grab and drag it back to the chat window to show the result. That no longer happens.

This has been identified in another thread, not sure where though. Moon Wizard has said it will be resolved in 3.2.1, which is expected in short order.

I just connected with a Mac user and helped them complete the installation. They had installed through Steam.

Steps:
1. We made a backup of the FantasyGrounds.app file that contains all your custom content.
A. To do this, launch Steam and go to Games > Library.
B. Find Fantasy Grounds on the game list on the left, and right-click on it and choose Properties
C. Go to the Local Files tab of the properties window and click on Browse Files
D. Copy the FantasyGrounds.app file and make a backup copy pasted to your Desktop or other location for safe keeping
2. Back in the Steam properties dialog, click on VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE. It should report the number of changed files and it will revert it back to a beginning state
3. Wait for the new files to finish downloading and then launch Fantasy Grounds again. It will show an earlier version and will have the FREE version without your purchases or license. Your stuff will still be there but won't be visible. Have no fear.
4. Run an Update as-is. It should update to version 3.2 FREE
5. Once that is complete go into Settings and then re-enter or right-click and Paste your License key back in. Set your username and password as well. Then run another Update. Your license key if purchased from Steam will be on the Steam game screen for Fantasy Grounds under the "CD Key" menu option.

After I updated when I go to character manager or to Create a New Campaign, 5e isn't an option for me to select anymore. 3.5 and 4 are there, but not 5e.

It sounds like something didn't work with the update. Are you on a Windows PC or a Mac? Can you check your folder permissions for the folder you have set as the Data Directory in your Settings and then try running an update again?

I am on Windows 10. I have full control and modify rights to that folder

Someone else reported that they had to manually delete the 5E.pak and CoreRPG.pak files on their system (in the Data Directory rulesets folder) and then re-run the Update.

Look in your \rulesets directory for a 5E directory or 5E.pak file. If either of these exist, delete them and run an update again. Check for 5E.pak (about 6,423KB in size) after running the update.

However, if I have the auto-center turned on and Turn: Skip hidden actor turned off, then my map auto-centers on the hidden creature. Also, I suspect it will work this way for creatures hidden under the mask.

I'm just trying to determine if I want the auto-center turned on if it might tip off my players where hidden creatures are. I love the release! Very cool stuff, just trying to figure it all out.

It works differently for players and the GM. The players only center on THEIR turn... the GM centers on everyone.

Totally worked. Thanks

Hey Doug. I tried following those instructions without any success.

I followed steps 1A-D

But in part 2 where you say

2. Back in the Steam properties dialog, click on VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE. It should report the number of changed files and it will revert it back to a beginning state

I got a message saying several files failed to validate. I wasn't sure whether this was the same as the 'changed files' you mention above but anyway after verifying it does seem to revert back to original state (ie the ID keys disappear from the settings screen.

But when I attempt to "Update as is" with this free version it fails and gives me the same error message about ERROR: Get Packagefiles

Help :(

Thanks for hard work Smiteworks on our new ver. 3.2.0 is amazing.
This is really great update. Many of things it brings I never dreamed. Thumbs UP!

That image indicates that something is blocking the Updater from running on the Internet or blocking you from contacting our patch server. What anti-virus are you running and can you check to see if you can add an exception for it?

Also, shoot an email to [email protected] with your external IP address and I can check the server to make sure you aren't in an area that would be under additional security constraints.

Is there a tutorial or an updated list on the wiki of how the new things work? Finding a lot of really cool things in this new update, that just don't work correctly (As far as I know), and I can't tell if it is user-error, or something is seriously amiss. An example would be wit the new Quests Feature. I have filled out as a GM the list of quests available to each player, an dplaced them in proper catagories...but when I log in on my other computer as a player. This list isn't seen anywhere? Are these shared? Or is it something local to the computers?

Quests, just like any other record in the FG campaign, need to be shared before the players will see them. You might not want them to see them - especially if you're using a ruleset which uses XP for quests, then you might just want to use them as a GM reference and to allow drag/drop quest XP to the party sheet for XP distribution.

I haven't tried it yet, but does the Par5e still work with the 3.2v? I assume so, but before I put in lots of work to find out it didn't, I thought I'd ask.

This is a hell of a video. Thank you. Still a lot of questions on Quests though. Found you can share them, but it shares with EVERYONE. I can't recall a specific example in which you could share individually within FG, so I suppose I can't expect that from quests. Though if I have individual quests meant to be for their eyes only, I am unable to share with just them.

Another thing that confuses me is that the GM is able to sort these quests in to created groups, but all the players get for groups is (All) or (none) the groups don't seem to carry over, nor do they have the option to create their own groups.

Drag the link of the quest to an individual PC portrait to share with the owning player.

That is correct, this is by design on the player side. The idea being that only a few things would ever be shared with the players at any one time. The devs have answered the reasoning behind this recently, but can't find it at the moment.

EDIT: If the individual player want to do some form of organisation, they can put a bunch of links in a "note" that they own. But, of course, if the GM stops sharing a record the link will no longer be valid.

Not that I see many players doing this, but another option is to use the hotbars to organize links. Between all the regular bars and the Alt+Shift, Shift+Ctrl, Ctrl+Alt, Shift+Alt+Ctrl combos, there should be enough for decent organization.

I updated and bought Volo's Guide to Monsters. When I open up Volo and try and look at the monsters via the NPC list opened Volo's guide, there are no images. Red ID with a circle through it at the top of the opened window when I click on the link, <new drawing> and an error message as well at the top of the image window.

To be more clear. On the other tab for the monster stat block, there is am image link but when I click it there is no image appearing.

When I go into the campaigns master images list, I can see the Volo images and click them.

The still have a <new drawing> and the Unidentified Image on the top, but the image itself shows up.

Just tried playing for the first time since the update.
DM says some of his books are missing from the Library. He has the DM's guide, but the Monster Manual is missing.

Also, all of the players are able to images and maps that were not supposed to be public. Stuff that was never shared. Like under images it looks like all of the images are visible and they all say "Unknown image."

Also, players can go into Library and push the GM button and see everything. This is a total mess. :(

This is all D&D 5e.

Wish the stock rulesets came at least documented in their scripts/xml files so if things moved; modders could easily find them. Also aids in understanding what affects where to allow for easier customization.

I should of checked this out before my session which is just starting but I was watching the Cubs. So I'm in a little panic mode.

1. I click the story button and everything is one giant list. Under groups all I have are All or None. This makes it extremely hard to find what I need in the Storm Kings Thunder module

2. My player no longer have a quest button. Where od they find the quests I shared with them?

3. NPC's button same issue as above no Storm Kings thunder list under groups

These are the thing I've seen in the first 5 minutes. Not sure what the point was in changing this.

If they click the "Library" button the top part of the library window will allow the player to select which buttons they see down the right hand side of the desktop. They can select "Quests" as one of the buttons to see. You now have more control over how your desktop looks.

Try updating FG again, there was a couple of hotfixes after the main release to help with module data.

After updating, if you still can't see the data groups close and then re-open the Storm Kings Thunder module.

Try closing and re-opening Storm King's Thunder. Those two screens should look like this:

If the books are missing in the library, have the DM try one or more of these two steps:

1. Launch FG and go to Settings and then re-enter the username and click the Update button next to it to re-verify the password. Run an update
2. If that doesn't work, look for a /vault/[PRODUCT ID/*.dat file for the missing book and delete it and then re-run an update.

Thanks Lord Entrails, that's good news.

FG is going from strength to strength.

This line needs to be changed to

Code:

Line 48 - _,bUntrained = CharManager.getSkillValue(rActor, sSkillLookup, sSubSkill);

And, party skill rolls from the party sheet don't include the skill bonus - just a straight d20 roll.

3.5E/PFRPG ruleset.

I closed and reopened Volo, and still the same issue. When I click links for the images from the NPC list, nothing shows up. The reference manual is fine. The images list has the monster links and I can click them and see it, also fine. But not from the stat block.

I can no longer resize my windows in FG horizontally. I used to take pics and make them much smaller so I could still have them open and not taking up space. Anyone else have this problem?? In the pic I have attached I can size the sides of the window up and down but now left and right.

Yes. It's intentional. There are a few threads on the matter and if you go back a few pages it's in this thread as well.

Hey Doug. I get the same error even without any antiviruses running.

Hi Moon Wizard - if I wanted to change graphics files for sidebar icons to be wide/long rather than roughly square where do i change this spacing allocation?
At the moment if I replace gfx with wide ones the same square space is still allocated to them.
