Sounds like you either:
1) Haven't updated Fantasy Grounds in a long time.
2) Have Unzipped ruleset files (and perhaps more) in your FG data directories.
3) Have two installs of Fantasy Grounds on your computer.
This thread for has various checks to carry out and solutions to the most common issues.
Ok, I found that my password had changed, which interfered with my updating. When I fixed it, updated, it went to 3.3.0. Which is good. So, what ever the issue is, it has to be with my machine, because I'm still having the problem of not being able to see the GURPS Tables modules. I've included a screen shot of the rulesets folder, as well as one with the modules folder.Quote:

when I download them into my downloads area, duplicate file names get differenced by a (NN) where NN is a number. That's why you see a GURPS (4) and a GURPS (5) as well as GURPS 4e (the GURPS 4e version is 3.0.5) Eventually, I'll clean them out. The "older" paks are the ones I used to create campaigns, but eventually, as mentioned, they will get cleaned out. :)
I did an experiment. I deleted both the mod files for GURPS_TABLES and GURPS-4e-TABLES, opened up the 3.0.5 version after deleting the files, and found I couldn't see them (as expected). Then I opened up the 3.0.7 version, and could not see them (as expected). Then, I recopied the files back into the mods folder, opened up the 3.0.7 version, did not see the files, closed the program, opened up the 3.0.5 version, and they could see the modules just fine.
Does one of the XML files have a path that specifies where the program is supposed to look for Mods files? Perhaps that is what I need to verify is correct? I did compare the XML files (some of them) between the 3.0.5 campaigns, and the 3.0.7 campaigns, and found that in one file, what used to have only ONE line in it, it now has like five in it. I believe it is the campaign registry xml file that I was looking at:
(for the 3.0.5 version)
["sidebar"] = "charsheet,note,image,table,story,quest,npc,battle ,item,treasureparcel",
(for the 3.0.7 version)
["OptREVL"] = "off",
["sidebar"] = "charsheet,note,image,table,story,quest,npc,battle ,item,treasureparcel",
["OptSHPC"] = "detailed",
["OptDDCL"] = "off",
So maybe it is that kind of thing that is making my version hiccup perhaps?
Those Opt things are various settings for options.
So, when you fire up the GURPS ruleset, what versions are reported for CoreRPG?
And you can see / edit the paths to the Fantasy Grounds files (where your modules, rulesets, extensions, etc folders should all be) when you go to the settings window. "Data Directory"
It comes up now as 3.3.0 for the core rpg rules. That stays the same whether I pull up GURPS 3.0.5 or GURPS 3.07.Quote:

That is why, in my screen shot of the directory for rules set, you will see GURPS (4) and GURPS (5) as two separate files. Both 4 and 5 are the same file, downloaded at two different times within the same day when it was announced that version 3.0.7 was the latest to fix issues present in 3.0.6 (I never got to download version 3.0.6 actually). So, it happens when I install a new version of the file repeatedly (that is why I had hoped that the solution was something within the file itself, but I'm the odd man out in that my machine is the only one doing it. Your's works fine, as do the others it seems. So - what ever is causing this, seems to be related to either how my machine is set up (perhaps a registry issue) or perhaps I have a file that is corrupted (but why does 3.0.5 always work at being able to see the .mod files?).Quote:

Hal, hit me up on Discord and we can try nut this out there.
Ronnke, did you push this yet? Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.Quote:

v3.0.7a is up. It only adds the SEC+ to the effects.
Just a matter of curiosity, where could I use the SEC + that was implemented?
I plan on using it to keep track of how many turns an actor is aiming, without having to actively increment it each round. There are also other instances where keeping track of how long an "effect" has been applied is useful. Recovering from partial surprise (B393) is one instance I can think of off the top of my head. I think there are a few others.Quote:

I did so with counting decrement
Watch (Weapon) - 1 SEC
Aim (Turn 1) - 2 SEC
Aim (Turn 2) - 3 SEC
Aim (Turn 3) - 4 SEC
Weapon Aim Bonus
+1 Aim
+2 Aim
+3 Aim
I drag the number of turns the character is going to be aiming and then with each passing turn I add the bonus modifier by aiming
I believe that is what Ronnke does. But for me it's a lot easier to just have it increment automatically, when I have let's say 10 goblins aiming their bows, each one at a different stage of aiming. Dragging and dropping just takes that 5 extra seconds (x 10) that I would prefer to not have to spend.Quote:

Any forecast of when it leaves some update with one of those beautiful improvements of the wish list?
Unfortunately, no timeframe. I'm busy with other things at the moment to development is slow. There might be a new release ready before the end of the month.
I've heard a lot of comments from some GURPS players that they no longer use GURPS Character Assistant (GCA) but rather the GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) and then they even asked me if I could import characters created in GCS, here I am. Ask if there will ever be such a possibility.
I've never looked at the GCS export capabilities, but I don't imagine it would be too difficult, provided GCS allows you to create custom export scripts.
Ronnke I also never used the GCS, I prefer the GCA: D
I use GCA and think it's a pretty complete program. Any idea why people would use GCA?
I'm assuming you meant "Any idea why people would use GCS," and the answer I usually hear is "Because it's free." (i.e., 'Why use Photoshop when GIMP is free?')Quote:

Seycyrus and TheMookNet, unfortunately the biggest problem we have (Brazilians) is that we are not satisfied with anything, we only complain about values, languages and the like, we do not try hard to learn ...
Here I am a lover of GURPS I decided and I dedicated myself to translate the layout, the scrolls, the spreadsheets ....
Here I am concerned with translating the GCA spreadsheet and export, but that is not enough, I have to translate the file with the basic module, of course this effort is for those who still use GCA instead of GCS and majority argument Is that it is free, taking away MacOS users whose GCA does not work at 100%.
Then I like GURPS lover, I question, I ask, I ask ... because I want everything to be perfect: D
Sorry for the outburst, you are wonderful ... but I am annoyed by the bad will of most Brazilians ... and I can say it with conviction because I am a: D
Success!
Yes I meant, "why do people use GCS", thanks for clarifying. Like you, the GCA-FG integration was a massive draw which convinced me to lay down my money for both products. I only wish there was more integration on SJGs part.Quote:

I have this error when use effect...no extension activated..
Attachment 20004
I can't reproduce the error. Can you give me step by step instructions on how you produce the error.Quote:

That's an important piece of information to include when reporting issues.Quote:

I forgot this great little detail of great importance :(
Yeah, that detail was kinda important. :PQuote:

Why don't you spend your time on 3.3.2 instead? :-)Quote:

Of course this is not something of extreme relevance or importance, just a curiosity ....
As a FYI to developers - the CoC ruleset uses tokens for this - which are either pre-populated or the GM can drag a token to the Appearance tab of the NPC.Quote:

Just wanted to show some appreciation for the author and everyone that contributed to this extension. Thanks a bunch!
