    Dependencies
    This Extension is dependent on:


    Wiki Page & Full Documentation


    Rulesets By Dulux-Oz


    Other Extensions By Dulux-Oz


    Downloading The Extension
    This Extension and its accompanying Documentation can be downloaded from the links at the bottom of this post.

    Loading The Extension
    This Extension is loaded exactly like all other Fantasy Grounds Extensions - by first copying the .ext file to the Extensions Folder under the Fantasy Grounds Folder and then re-starting Fantasy Grounds. If the Extension is compatible with the currently installed version of a given Ruleset it will be displayed in the Extensions List for that Ruleset and can be loaded by clicking on the Checkbox next to the Extensions name.

    If the Extension has large red 'X' next to its name in the Extension List then the Extension or an Extension that this one is dependent upon is not compatible with the chosen Ruleset. Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the latest copy of this Extension and any Extensions this one is dependent upon.

    When Fantasy Grounds Updates
    After a Fantasy Grounds version update you should verify that all Extensions (not just this one) have been either updated themselves or verified by the Extension author that they work with the new version of Fantasy Grounds. If you have any issues with Fantasy Grounds after an update then it is best to disable all Extensions and then re-enable them one by one until the issue re-appears.

    If you like this Extension and find it useful, you may like to consider showing your support by making a Donation so that this Software and similar Software can continue to be maintained and developed.

    Love your work!

    Any chance of some screenshots to see what it looks like in action?
    Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

    Superceeds
    The following Extensions are superceeded by this Extension and are no longer required:
    • Towns Extension.
    • Shops Extension.
    Does this seem to contradict or just make irrelevant? If it supersedes, you don't need the other extensions and thus the compatibility is irrelevant.

    Unless you are thinking of campaigns that already shop and town data. In that case does your extension grab the data from the old extensions' objects and repackage it or just not touch the old town and shop entries?

    In Post-Production - just waiting for word from Moon about an "Undocumented Feature" I mentioned re: Importing & Exporting Characters - if he can get it fixed in the next day or two then I'll incorporate the fix, otherwise it'll have to wait until I do all the videos and put it in the Updates Video.

    Yes, it supersedes the Town & Shop Extensions so that they are no longer required.

    Existing Town & Shop Extension Data is now incorporated and used by the Locations Extension - and the old Extensions can still be used, even if the Locations Extension has added/changed Shop or Town Data - the new fields in the Locations Extension version of the Town or Building (Shop) Forms will simply be ignored by the old Extensions while common fields will be displayed in both the Old Extensions and the Locations Extension - hence being fully Compatible.

    Does that clear things up?

    Ahh, wait till I get the Worlds part done (version 2) and then the Weather Extension - then I think you'll really find things useful (I hope, at least)
