By the way welcome and thanks for your suggestions and comments. This is what makes these rulesets get better and better :)
I know it might not be for everyone but I just discovered The Foundry as a alternative VTT. I only mention this because The Foundry seems to have massive improvements as an engine that FG is missing. The star wars ruleset, so to speak, that the community has been working on there is in an incomplete state. It has somthings this one doesn't have and this one has somethings that that one doesnt have. The people over there seemed to be doing nothing with it to fix the issues. Which is why for now I stick with FG. If you know how to code Java and html it may be worth your while.
Now if you are a Pathfinder 2e fan I would choose foundry all the way. The things the community is doing with that system is nothing short of amazing.
This would be pretty great. There's an extension for the other FGC SW ruleset that gets rid of them. The instances of standard rpg dice in this system are basically nonexistent and I have several players who play on laptops where screen real estate is precious, so we ditched them and never looked back. It's hardly an urgent priority, but it'd be nice to have the option.Quote:

Another thing is that I notice that the equivalent of rulesets there are much more prone to breaking due to updates in the foundry core, maybe because it is still going through some very big updates.
Maybe when foundry is more mature, it would not be the case, but it does discourage me into trying to create something over there aswell.
For now, if there are any features in that ruleset you would like to see here, if it is something that I can pull off doing in FG, I can add :)
Yeah, it is very easy for me to do this....Quote:

Yeah it kinda put me in a weird situation where I have poured so much time and effort into FG version. Then comes along a seemly superior VTT, I have to ask myself do start all over with a better VTT or do it commit to the one I put so much effort into. People ask them simaler things about their car :). I did read in one of the changelogs from the people who made the star wars Foundry ruleset is stopping working on the current version in order to work on the one that will replace it. So take from that what you will.Quote:

I have been adding things to the foundry to prepare running a game in it to see how my players like it.
I will still be adding Libraries to Fantasy Grounds. Nexus of Power should almost be done. Setting books take the longest and I will admit I was distracted by Foundry.
Yeah it think it is good to get perspective looking at other softwareQuote:

Still, I dont want to give the impression i am stopping any time soon on FG hehe.
To be fair, and to tell a secret, I recently started reading Legend of 5 Rings, and although it exists in FG as an extension, I would love to give it a full ruleset treatment, once Star Wars and Genesys have a solid basis with all missing features.
After that, I would still like to work on a thing I still have close to my heart: Warhammer Fantasy RP 3rd edition (yeah i still want to create a ruleset for unity for this hehe)
So the way it works is you have what you cal Modules these work not unlike FG extentions, only the can also include what we call libraries in the same file. In foundry their libraries are called compendiums.Quote:

Its sounds complicated but easy to understand.
That would be fantastic, thank you! Really appreciate all your amazing work on bringing this ruleset to FGU.Quote:

Keep up the great work!
That sounds like something that would fall under the perview of optional rules. Not sure as to the difficulty though.Quote:

Having said that, I do want to provide updates soon, at least the more pressing ones (fixes and small improvements)
But in short yes, I am still very much involved in the rulesets and will keep them updated
Since this is not really in the Genesys/SW rules, I did not have plans to do this, but it is something I can work on later, when the rest of the main features are done.Quote:

Version 2022-05-16
Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.
Fixes:
Several bug fixes and compatibility updates for FG Unity (related to CoreRPG)
NPC (minions): fixed an issue with minions where entering "Number of wounds per minion" when "Number of minions in the group" is zero or empty would result in "Total wounds threshold" to display incorrect sum.
NEW Features:
- Create shortcuts for Dice rolls!
You can now drag a dicepool from the Dicepool window below chat, into a hotkey.
This is a long time requested feature that was available in the old Classic ruleset and now also available in both Genesys and StarWarsFFG for both Classic and Unity Fantasy Grounds
Some tips on using the feature:
- Start by clicking and adding a skill, weapon roll, or power just like usual, into the dicepool
- Add extra dice (like difficulty, boosts, setbacks...)
- Drag the complete dicepool from the dicepool box, into one available hotkey at the bottom of the FantasyGrounds window.
After this hotkey shortcut is created, clicking the hotkey will bring the dice back to the dicepool
Advanced features:
You can right click the hotkey you created, and edit the description
There are two special features you can do with descriptions:
- If you edit the description so it begins with "+", this will make the hotkey to add those dice into the dicepool window without clearing existing dice.
- If the description contains "/roll", this will make it so after the hotkey adds the dice, it will automatically roll all dice in the pool.
Check this video where I have a quick guide on how to use this new feature
P.S.: sorry for the low voice, it is very late here and I did not want to wake up the family :P

I just wanted to give a quick update on the current development.
Right now I am almost done with the "Vehicle sharing" feature.
This is the one that will allow players to unlock vehicles so party members can use them, and even multi-crew.
I am also going to include a couple of extra features that are very easy to finish and that i hope will improve with combat.
I will probably release it tomorrow end of day, or in the weekend
After that, I will focus on finally finishing Spec Trees :)
After re-reading what you said, let me know if I understandQuote:

The new drag and drop rolls are awesome @johniba. Thanks so much for all the work you do on this project! Looking forward to vehicle sharing and talent trees too!
NEW RELEASE!
Version 2022-05-22
Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.
Fixes:
Desktop: Fixed issue with Wounds chit where toggling Soak with right click would not work
Combat Tracker: Fixed issue where vehicle stats would not properly update when PC entered a different vehicle.
Improvements:
Desktop: Changed text in tooltips for: Vehicle Critical, Personal Critical, wounds and strain chits, to make it easier to understand.
Desktop: When an attack roll is successful, the amount of damage is displayed in the roll results (for example, "[Damage: 7]")
Before the current update, you could always drag that text result that contains the damage into a character/npc, and that value would apply to that character/npc
In my opinion though that is not very intuitive and I am sure most players werent even aware that could be done.
I have made some improvements which I believe will be easier to remember and to use:
Now, whenever a damage roll is successful, both the Wound and Strain chits in the desktop will have their values automatically reflect the damage result.
The player can then drag either one of these chits into a character/npc (depending of course on the roll, usually it means a wound damage), and the damage will be applied.
The player can also right click the chit in the desktop and decide to toggle soak on/off, before the chit is dragged.
NEW Features:
- Vehicles: Sharing vehicles with party members
(check attached screenshots as examples)Attachment 52884 / Attachment 52885
Players can now share vehicles!
(GM: in order for sharing to work properly, make sure to have the Party Sheet updated with the correct player list.)
How it works:
Player: Go to your character sheet, inventory.
For each vehicle you want to share with party members, make sure to click the small "padlock" icon in your vehicle, and unlock it.
Right under the vehicle list, each player sheet will show a list of shared vehicles.
Entering a shared vehicle is simple: just click the "enter vehicle" icon.
More than one player can be in the same ship (as crew members!)
The GM can also see a list of current shared vehicles in the party sheet.
Combat sheet: for GMs, you can also see which vehicles each player is using, and it will also list the owner of the vehicle.
P.S.: right now I am aware that the Player version of the combat tracker window is very poor in information.
I will add info on the vehicles soon.
I would also appreciate feedback from players/gms: what information in the combat tracker would you like players to have access?
How to download the new version:
FG Unity:
You can subscribe to both rulesets in FG Forge. This will ensure that they are automatically downloaded whenever I upload a new version.

Important note for Fantasy Grounds Classic users
Although this version is also compatible with FGC, there are no noticeable changes, only internal code.
For now the rulesets are totally compatible with FGC, but I strongly advise people still using FGC to consider upgrading to FGUnity.
Smiteworks is no longer updating the Classic application, and it may come a time when I cannot maintain the code compatible.
For now, it is still compatible and I will do my best to continue this, until it comes a time it would hurt the development... If that time comes, I will let everyone know
Download Genesys ruleset even if you are playing Star Wars

Hello! That shared vehicle seems to work like a charm. But I did an oopsie. Prior to the update, I had the same vehicle for all three characters. With the update, I deleted the vehicle from two of the characters BUT I may have had them still IN the vehicle when I did. Now I see the shared vehicle in inventory and the Party Sheet, but I can't exit them from the old vehicle on their character sheets to use the shared vehicle. I get this error message:
Script execution error: [string "campaign/scripts/char_current_vehicle.lua"]:13: getPath: Invalid parameter 1
Any and all help is appreciated. :)
Edge of the Empire
- Removed Personnel Carrier and Fenn Sesslyn Duplicate.
- Fixed the Activation Status Typos on several Talents.
- Fixed Encumbrance typo on Holoscanners.
Force and Destiny Libraries
- Added Nexus of Power Source book.
- Chaged Thisspiasian Puzzle Ring subtype to "Holocrons and Other Ancient Talismans"
- Removed duplicate Shortcut (Improved) and Swift.

If you are using FGClassic, download it again from google drive (only the Genesys.pak file), if using FGUnity, just click check for updates :)
I did some tests and now it is working leaving a vehicle if it was deleted.
If the list of shared vehicles still show the deleted one, just go to one of the characters and share/un-share another vehicle and the list should update.
If you still have errors let me know
Works like a charm. Thanks for the work you and sevrick do!
I am currently working on an error in rolling vehicle critical damage, where it is calculating the wrong critical, and also another where a player cannot roll critical on an npc, dropping it into its listing in the combat tracker
So the ruleset downloads from forge when it is updated, but not the libraries correct? If so would it be possible to put the date the library was updated where you put the ruleset update date? That way we know if the libraries needs to be updated?
I will start to update the first post with the date the last time the libraries were updated.Quote:

Sorry Guys you should be able to download the Libraries again. Johniba was able to make the export process much easier.
Note: The Age of Rebellion Libraries will have an annoying thing where everything is unlocked by default. So in your campaign if you revert changes on a record it will be unlocked. This was due to something in the past that accidently unlocked all the records. I can fix it I will just have to go through all the records in the Age of Rebellion library one by one and lock them so it will be the default on the exported module.
I certainly want to be able to see the current amount of minions left in a minion group.Quote:

Currently they see only the npc name and their rolled initiative
I dont know how much info should be shared by default, as there is no official stance on this.
Maybe I could make some options so GMs can toggle on/off on what they want to share
Attachment 52938

An idea for an optional feature would be to add how badly damaged they are.
For example
100% = Uninjured
75%-99% = Slightly Injured
50%-74% = Injured
25%-49% = Badly Injured
1% - 24% = Near Death
I got the idea from a mod on the foundry. It let's the PCs have some idea of how badly damaged a creature is without giving out exact wound and strain values.
That would be quite easy to implement.Quote:

So in Genesys and Star Wars we do not use d4, d6, d8, d12 and d20 dice.
I am thinking of hiding them by default in the rulesets.
I will also provide a small extension (available to download in google drive and also through the Forge for FGU) that will bring back the dice, in case someone wants them in their desktops
I think this would be a good idea. These dice are not used and they take up space in the desktop
Now, if a lot of people dont like the dice to be hidden bu default, I can do the other way around: keep the dice visible and create an extension to hide them
What do you all think about this?
Yes. Hide the dice.
Yeah good idea. There are a few cases that require them but not enough to warrant having them out. For example rolling for kryat dragon pearl in Adversaries and Allies. I think they say somthing like roll 1d4-2 is how many pearls you get. For that I have a physical dice I can roll if I need to.
You can always type: /roll 1d4, but i see it would be used somewhere.Quote:

I'm all for hiding those dice!
Also as a feature request for the future it would be nice to have minions represented as multiple tokens, at least as an option. Mostly to avoid confusion from my players, but also as I use maps a lot, just to better illustrate situations.
Also, while I'm posting, I just want to thank you for making this ruleset. It's my favourite system to run games in, and having it all up and working on FGU is incredible. I appreciate all the work that's gone into it!
NEW RELEASE!
Version 2022-05-26
Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.
Improvements:
Combat Tracker:
- NPC will now list number of minions, if the npc category is "minion"
PC/NPC sheets and Combat Tracker: Actions -> Weapons
- Adjusted text size for weapon name and special. In some cases where either were too long, the text was clipping (fixed now)
Regular Dice (d4, d6, d8, d12, d20): Removed these dice from the FG desktop.
To bring them back, I will be providing an extension. If you want those dice to show again in the desktop, you will be able to do so, enabling that extension.
(It is currently pending approval on The Forge)
Another option, if you will only rarely roll any of those dice, is to use the "/roll" command from fantasy grounds
For example, typing in chat:
/roll 1d4
- Will roll 1 d4
/roll 2d41d10
- will roll 2 d4 + 1d10
and so on...
