Beta Release v3.3.7

FG v3.3.7 is now in beta testing. The plan is to push the new version in about 3-4 weeks.

As always, we're a small company so we rely on our community to help sound out each new release. Thanks in advance to all those who pitch in.

Please see the sticky thread on public testing if you want to be involved. Only the Test mode slot contains this version. I will update this thread as I release new iterations of the test version.

Key Things
1) Always backup your campaign data before running the test version.
2) If the GM is running on test then all of the players will also be running on test.
3) If you encounter an issues log them in the relevant testing thread - don't use the generic House of Healing, but use this thread.

Thanks,

Thanks for this very much. One tiny ask related to exporting.

Can you do one additional thing for while you're at it? Add a name for the stringcontrol that is the label "A" in the export selection window? I can't merge/replace it with my own version of the "A" that allows you to select ALL of the items at once. Right now I just position a A ontop of that A but if they use funky fonts it shows.

It's in <windowclass name="export" /> Around here in utility/utility_export.xml

Code:

---

<stringcontrol>
        <anchored to="list" position="aboveleft" offset="0,3" width="20" />
        <font>sheetlabel</font>
        <lineoffset default="on">-1</lineoffset>
        <static textres="export_label_listall" />
        <center />
</stringcontrol>

---

This is just a quality of life thing in Author that allows the host to click on the A and it selects/deselects all the records to export.

Nice Moon.

Nice. Lots of good stuff, sound like the image mask/grid issue might now be resolved?

One concern;

• [5E] Creatures with regeneration that must be disabled by a damage type will now regenerate, even if at 0 hit points, until regeneration disabled and at zero hit points.

Some 5E creatures have regeneration that states they only regenerate if they have 1 or more hitpoints (i.e. Vampire), but others only if regen is suppressed and they are at 0 HP (i.e. the troll). So regen has two use cases/types that need to be handled.

Updates

• [CoreRPG+] Select/Deselect all buttons added to module export window.

JPG

LordEntrails,

That's exactly why the change was made. If a creature with regeneration that must be disabled by a specific damage type, the effect must be disabled (i.e. SKIP) or it will continue to regenerate even at zero hit points. Any regeneration that is not disabled by a specific damage type will stop working at zero hit points.

Regards,
JPG

Ok, great. Wasn't sure you got the two use cases.

Also, thanks for the select all with module export. Really appreciate that one :)

Player image loading delayed until image window opened.

Is this as big of a deal as I think it is? Does it mean that some of the memory issues go away?

It just means that player memory load should be much closer to GM memory load. (Given they are loading the same modules)

There’s probably more investigating to be done as well here.

Kudos! This is a BIG leap ahead in performance and stability. Great job :)

Is this a Changeling-only fix, or a change to the way "Ability Score Increase" is parsed? Because a few of the Dragonmarked subraces have a similar issue, and I think there was another one somewhere with a similar subrace hack to sort the stats out.

My testing shows only the Changling is affected.

Thank the gods for PC search.

Any chance for there to be a search-bar for portraits in the next update? The searchbar for characters was GOOD, but portraits needs one as well.

Updates

• [CoreRPG+] Records duplicated by dropping links on campaign list will now be given a (Copy) suffix.
• [CoreRPG+] Duplicating record by dropping link in campaign list no longer resets campaign list filter.

JPG

@Oberoten,

I won't be able to add a portraits search in the current client, due to the way portraits are handled. Portrait files are loaded dynamically, and the window lists to do filtering are built dynamically. It would be extremely slow and laggy. You'll have to wait for FGU before I can look at that.

Very nice! I currently make sure to open the existing object before I drag and copy so I know which one is which (So I don't mess up existing links). The stable list filter is really nice too :)

Loving the updates!

Very very well done. :) Makes things a beuty to work with.

Nice!

With my quick playing around I found a few issues but I'm pretty sure they are all with the Starfinder module but I wanted to get them documented here so they get fixed with the release of this. The first issue is with the new buttons on the image window, I'm guessing they just need to be added to the theme. The second is the header test is doubled. like a second copy is rendered a few pixels offset. Attached is my screenshot of these. I made sure to turn off all extensions before reporting this.

Fantastic, I've done some testing this evening and the memory usage has improved by leaps and bounds in this version. With memory usage on the player side more or less mirroring that one the server side eventually.
This is going to make a great difference to myself and my players, thank you! :)

You wouldn't happen to be affiliated with "Encounter Roleplay" on YouTube by any chance? :D The "a gentlemen and a scholar" phrase made me think of it as it's a popular phrase used there.

Nope, it's just something I grew up hearing when someone did something well thought out/good and helpful. Could'a just been my family... Lived in Texas all my life but no idea where the phrase comes from.

Bunch of good updates are coming! Glad to see the fix for the duplicate images when exporting! :)

Hah, fair enough, it's a fun phrase, always thought it sounded a bit British. I thoughts I'd ask as I like some of the campaigns they run there and it helped to peak my interest with FG to boot. ;)

To avoid derailing this thread, I won't make any more posts not related to bugs I may come across in 3.3.7 beyond this one. But couldn't help but to satisfy my curiosity on the phrases origin now that you mention it.


Source: https://www.reference.com/world-view...8c324dae3f7430
The phrase "You are a gentleman and a scholar" most likely originated in England in the 18th century. During this time period, scholarly pursuits and noble manners were seen as important characteristics among men.

This phrase was made popular in modern times when it appeared in J.D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye." The protagonist, Holden, says this to his roommate Ackley. "I reached up from where I was sitting on the floor and patted him on the goddam shoulder. 'You're a prince, Ackley kid,' I said. "You know that?...You're a real prince. You're a gentleman and a scholar, kid."

I do love to watch British TV shows (been watching Doctor Who since the 80s).

Thanks to Zacchaeus for pointing out that I didn't mention the new image window buttons in the patch notes.

• [CoreRPG+] Added buttons to send image window between standard window, background panel and full panel modes.

I'm not seeing these?

They are in upper right corner of image window, next to the close and help buttons.

Yeah, I had a "slap forehead" moment. I had an unpacked C&C ruleset, so I wasn't seeing the new code...

What does this mean? Thanks.

It means that tables that roll on other tables will roll in order.

Example:

Table A -> 2x Table B -> 2x Table C

Roll A
Roll B
Roll C
Roll C
Roll B
Roll C
Roll C

In current version, after A rolled, then both rolls for table B went. Then, when each Table B roll completed, then both rolls for Table C went. They were all rolling concurrently for each table.

Cheers,
JPG

No more Asynchronous rolling?

I believe that is what he means. The situation has been chaotic, as the order of dice landing was unpredictable based upon the time of the dice rolls.
