Thanks for the heads up! I've been real busy lately and have not.Quote:

So, took it for a test and everything seems to working. I will give it another run later. 500 lines!Quote:

Those messages show up when the ranged weapon has ammo selected that isn't found in the inventory.Quote:

My advice is to change the ammo on that weapon to blank/nothing and then pick the correct ammo again.
well it's a melee weapon so it doesn't really have ammunitions to choose from ... it does that with any weapon from any character, be it melee or ranged. It also gives that error sequence every time I (or any player) clicks on the "actions" tab of a character sheet, it freezes up for a while then loads heaps of those lines. I even tried deleting it and remaking it anew, it persists.

ah, looks like an issue on my end then! thanks for clarifying that.Quote:

On the test branch? Maybe the one I fixed was causing the other.Quote:

hmm. I remember being able to reproduce it before, so i won't write it off as fixed just yet!Quote:

I did! I believe all my test builds should be available on live now.Quote:

I'm getting a script execution error [string "scripts/manager_action_attack.lua"]:666:attempt to call field 'calculateMargin' (a nil value).
I only get this error when I run Ammunition Manager and Extended Automation (first) together. Neither of them produce the error on their own. It's a 3.5E campaign.
Seems to be a compatibility issue between the those two extension and the FGU update?
Edit: Just visited the EA forum and Kelrugem said his extension is not compatible with the new update until he has a chance to work on it, so the compatibility issue is probably on his end.
That is correct. Unfortunately as you have updated you will be unable to use Kel's extensions for a bit (but I'm sure when they get updated they'll be better than ever :) )Quote:

If it is a crossbow the load button pops as well requiring ayou to click to load it (which is not a 5e thing.)
Maybe we should not adjust the ammo amount manually? Thoughts?
Yeah, there have been issues with that.
I think in other places in the ruleset the linked fields are read-only so I might have to do that as well.
I am down with that because once they make a change it is a pain for the rest of the time we are playing.
Also, Once it is broken I can't get it to reset even after a restart. It is now a problem in that the player is better off not linking at all as it is way more clicks to make it work as intended than letting FG handle the ammo. But when I restarted removed the bow and arrows added them back and still have a link issue and now I FG ammo tracking fails....
Okay I have pushed my working copy to live.
It's not great in Starfinder(sorry) but should fix your issue.
That works now but when you recover arrows it breaks the link when you close the dialog and make an attack roll. Additionally, it resets the shots number to the original number that was there and adds the new shot to that total.Quote:

Clean campaign. New character. 5e. Added bow and arrows. The links stay after the attack rolls and recovery click but the recovery number bounces back. Here I shot 4 times recovered 2, shot a 5th time and shots went from blank to 5. Only using Ammo manager 3.8
Maybe the shots number is not being reset after the recovery?
The UI element was being changed, but no the entry in the database. I have pushed an update that should resolve that.Quote:

I was testing it today and I see the load/unload button is still there for the hand crossbow. Every time I roll an attack I have to click the load button. That is not a rule in 5e. Is there a way to disable that for 5e?
As someone who does not play 5E, I'm working on the word of others on that one.

and more.
I don't really want to keep changing the behavior of the extension for 5e when I hear differing opinions on that, so I would need a pretty clear description of how best to handle that if I am going to change it further.
In the meantime, perhaps remove the "loading" property from weapons if you don't want to have to load them.
No worries. I see the technical reason to have it but it is a little too "in the weeds" for my group. We can manage the rule without the additional clicking. Plus there are feats that override it as well.
I was just thinking I was missing a setting or option to switch it off.
I will edit the properties. That works for me. Thanks for the extra info.
It does support an exception for crossbows if the character has the crossbow expert feat.Quote:

Thanks. I like your work around, so either works for me. I don't want to create any confusion with RAW/RAI and table specific requests.Quote:

So I am trying to use this extension with SFRPG, and it doesn't seem to work that much. At least with the laser weapons. If i have 1 battery in my inventory, an azimut laser pistol can only fire once, then it says it is empty. And it does seem to remove batteries as charges.

The starfinder interface/featureset is pretty different from the other rulesets supported in Ammunition Manager. I should make another video for that sometime.Quote:

So it is defenitely being weird. I did unload any other extension before doing this. And i did figure out how to "reaload", but it didn't really act as expected.
Link removed.
