Beta release v3.0.4

[Moon Wizard]

As always, please make a backup of your FG data folder before updating and opening campaigns with a test release.

Please see the sticky thread on public testing if you want to be involved. The Test mode slot (available via the FG Settings dialog) contain this version right now.

Remember, this is a beta release, which means that all the features should be in place. However, there may be issues (hopefully minor).

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.

Thanks,

Getting the following when loading a campaign that uses Castles & Crusades ruleset...

Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_version2.lua"]:33: getRulesetVersion: Module not loaded
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_version2.lua"]:33: getRulesetVersion: Module not loaded
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_version2.lua"]:33: getRulesetVersion: Module not loaded
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_version2.lua"]:33: getRulesetVersion: Module not loaded

I'm not getting that error message on my campaign. I currently have the Monsters and Treasures, Players Handbook and Arms and Armor loading.

Which modules do you have loading with your campaign? I may need to get a copy at [email protected], for any not from our store.

I know that the interface is not always intuitive, though it is designed to be the very useful once you know how it works. Check out the General and C&C user guides over on the wiki, and make suggestions on how to improve.

Well, you must be doing something right, because after almost a year, I'm still working on my Hero Lab plugin for Castles & Crusades, along with a converter to get those characters into FG.
