My players cannot see status effects of NPCs, they cannot see hit points, etc. Also, errors pop up when the GM enters status effects onto the combat tracker.
It basically makes this ruleset unplayable. I've posted in this part of the forum and the House of Healing without any kind of response from Fantasy Grounds so I think they realize it's broken and have just decided to ignore it.
It's difficult to believe because they are so incredibly responsive on all other facets. I've had nothing but wonderful things to say about this product but, yeah, this ruleset was a bad investment.

I do appreciate the response, thank you!
Is there anything you can point me to that might help me fix the combat tracker or even modify it so players can see status effects? Actually, I dno't care if they see everything the GM see.

Open scripts\combattracker_entry.lua and find the following entry:
Code:-- stats values (hp/pp) if PreferenceManager.load(Preferences.CombatTracker.ShowStatsPref)==Preferences.Yes and tp=="pc" then hp.setVisible(true); wounds.setVisible(true); pp.setVisible(true); else hp.setVisible(isowner); wounds.setVisible(isowner); pp.setVisible(isowner); end
Code:-- added to show info to players hp.setVisible(true); wounds.setVisible(true); pp.setVisible(true);
I'm working on the combattracker Unable to create window error when an effect is added.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

The issue is that the code that is creating a new effect window is being allowed to run on the player side, when it should only run on the GM.
Open scripts\combattracker_effects.lua and change the checkForEmpty() function to be as follows (the additions are added in red):
Code:function checkForEmpty() if User.isHost() then if not disablecheck then local found = false; for k, v in ipairs(getWindows()) do if v.label.getValue() == "" then found = true; break; end end if not found then disablecheck = true; local w = createWindow(); disablecheck = false; end end end end

Trenloe, I can't thank you enough for this work you did.
Not only me but my players who are very excited about this campaign I'm running (which really needed this ruleset because it was so easy to customize to fit the rules). I would have never been able to figure this CT stuff out on my own. I know you probably get thanked for your coding expertise and time spent fixing other people's problems but please believe me when I tell you that you've made a real difference for me and my players.
Thanks very much once again!Last edited by chillybilly; April 29th, 2014 at 14:33.

Yes, he really is. He's helped me out before. In fact, I "must spread some reputation around before giving it to him again."
