Thanks for the huge update, Ikael!

I ticked the Test server updates box and updated.

Quick questions-- Where am I looking if I want to add Heavy Weapons/Armor to an NPC/PC? Is it a box I tick on the actor, or on the gear?

Also, where is the Tracker button to toggle between Combat and Chase Trackers?

[Doswelk]

Version 4.6 has not been uploaded to updater yet (at least as far as I can tell). Suspect you are still on 4.5 like me.

Type /version to check

[Muagen]

You're right. Pardon my confusion, but when Ikael said it was available on the Test server, I thought it was actually available on the Test server. :P

[Doswelk]

Using my Developer access I have got hold of 4.6 so I can try and help with your questions:

Quick questions-- Where am I looking if I want to add Heavy Weapons/Armor to an NPC/PC? Is it a box I tick on the actor, or on the gear?

Right clicking on an NPC allows you to toggle heavy armor, but I cannot work out how to do it for a PC

Also, where is the Tracker button to toggle between Combat and Chase Trackers?

There is a button labelled tracker, clicking on that swaps the CT mode.

Ikael has stated on Discord he is away from computer until next Monday, so we may just have to compile a list of questions for his return...

Incredible work for one of the best rulesets in FG.
