Official Shadow of the Demon Lord Bug Report Thread

So, we are running into tons of issues with this update. Here are the first that have come up:

Drag-n-drop functionality is non-existent on NPCs. Can't drag new spells, equipment, or anything onto NPCs like before, so I am having to manually type in every single spell on a magic user (not fun) even when they already exist in the database.

No one can figure out where the equipped armor is (used to be a box) other than equipment; it was much easier to see what was equipped and calculating the defense.

Can't delete lines in certain areas, like effects; there just isn't an option even when the record is unlocked


Thanks for the work.

I'll look into the npc drops, but equipment is handled on the inventory tab. Equip the armor and the defense will be updated on the abilities tab.

You will need to specific on what you can't delete and where exactly you can't delete them. This will help narrow down and get those resolved quicker.

Pushed a fix for the NPC drops that I could locate. Attacks, Weapons, Armor, Effects and Spells.

In a new campaign, the dice are covering the dice mods -- is there a way to reposition these that I'm not seeing?

Same. You can manually move them by using a right click near the upper left on the d20 to unlock position then move it. I also deleted all of the dice but the d20 and d6 using the Dice tab.

Thanks, I'll test it out later today.

As for the armor, we did find that it was managed through inventory now, not a big deal. The issue we had was that though a shield was equipped, it was not providing a defense bonus. We had to manually add that to the modifier box under Defense.

As far as being unable to delete line items, one for sure was on NPCs where there wasn't a way to delete "effects." I'll get on my personal computer later and see if I can catalog any more.

One additional thing that we experienced playing last night: attacks (or spells) with boons/banes. Previously, if you had a boon on an attack, you'd hit the attack button and it would automatically add the correct number of boons/banes to the roll. When we were playing last night, you had to double click on the boon/bane box next to an attack to send it to the boon/bane modifier box in the bottom left and then hit attack for the boons/banes to actually roll with them. If there's a way to automate having innate boons/banes roll with attacks when you hit the attack button, that would be great. This was for both characters and NPCs.

You will have to click to add the banes/bones by click on the boxes now to add it to the global bane/boon control on the desktop.

The reasoning is to help with calculating all your bane/boons from various sources. Clicking on (or click and type) into the global bane/boon boxes on the desktop is the main mechanism for the banes'boons the roll has. So it's best to build that up first and then complete the roll.

Pushed another fix to address the effects list on the NPC record not showing the delete button when unlocked.

Upon leveling to 4 today the ancestry Health bonus was not applied to any of the characters

Pushed a fix to address the updating to 4 not adding the additional bonuses to health.

How am I supposed to add effects/statuses to PCs and NPCs now? I can't simply drag them onto the entries in the combat tracker anymore.

As the original developer chose to do it in a non-standard way, I'll have to look into getting that process re-established.

Pushed a fix to address not being able to drop effects to the combat tracker entry

Hey man, thank you very much for the attention and also for the efficiency. I’d also like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on the cleanup of the module as well — it was very welcome.

Hi, I have been following this thread since the update and have not seen anyone else mention the combat tracker not tracking properly anymore.
Before the update it correctly ordered players before enemies withing the swift, slow, surprise brackets; but after the update it doesn't order correctly and seems to follow the FG default highest dex goes first ordering.
Considering how critical the combat tracker is and noone else has reported it, am I and my group doing something wrong?
In general the changes have been a big improvement as the bugs have been ironed out so thank you for your efforts.

Pushed an update to address this report.

Status effects are being correctly applied under “Status” in the Combat Tracker, but only for NPCs.
If you apply a status effect to a player in the Combat Tracker, it appears in the summarized form, but when you click “Show Status” in the CT, it is not listed there.
I also cannot remove them from PCs unless I delete the PCs from the Combat Tracker and add them back to the map.

I would also like to know if there is an easier way to remove lighting effects applied to tokens (both PCs and NPCs) other than deleting them and placing them back on the map.

I'm on vacation and can't address this till I'm back. The original developer's design was not in line with the way the Effects system currently works. So I'm not sure how to get the current lighting system to work within their design.

I looked it over and unfortunately the previous developer went in a different direction and didn't stick with the core design for the effects. I don't believe it's possible at this time to get that working. You can use the token light feature from the image sidebar to assist in adding lights to the tokens on the map.

Thanks! The combat tracker is working as expected now! I am getting another issue with status effects though. When attacking a player or NPC with an active effect (checkbox checked) in the combat tracker it is throwing an error an not applying boon/banes to the roll. A couple of the effects we have had this issue with are blinded & frightened if that helps with isolating this issue. Hope you had a good vacation.

it's best to provide as much information to help replicate it. Can you attempt to replicate it and provide your logs or show me images of it being done and/or an image of the error you are receiving?

Sure thing. The error is:
Attachment 67142

It happens when attacking a creature with effects active by checking the box next to the effect on the creature in the tracker. The above error occurred for a player attacking the creature and only displayed in their client, not my GM client. For reference I have attached an image of the GM combat tracker.
Attachment 67143

In testing the above issue I discovered another issue where if you add a creature that is not size 1 to the combat tracker (the Minotaur in the above image for example) it updates the creature to be size 1. If you open that creatures information panel (the angry face icon in the combat tracker) from the combat tracker it will display size 1 in the info panel instead of 2 like if you open it from the NPCs library. This may also play into some other weirdness on token size I have noticed previously but not been able to identify a cause for.

Thanks for your work on the module. It is better with every update.

Pushed an update to address the latest report.
