    Help! Changes to Arcane Background code in new update?

    Hi, I had made an extension previously that added a new Arcane background and had it loaded after any setting but with the new update I'm getting a "nil" value, when it loads... So any help would be useful.

    I used this post to help me with my code.

    What is the exact error? It will also help if you include the extension code (a copy of the extension would be best).

    When using v4.6 see the changelog note:

    [Dev] ArcanePropertyManager refactored to ArcaneManager

    Here's my DLR extension that adds all the extra arcane backgrounds, this is the contents of the .lua file

    function onInit()
    ArcaneManager.registerArcaneType("Blessed", "indicator_faith", "power_faith", {skill = "Faith", powerpoints = "main"})
    ArcaneManager.registerArcaneType("Hexslinger", "indicator_magic", "power_magic", {skill = "Hexslinging", powerpoints = "main"})
    ArcaneManager.registerArcaneType("Metal Mage", "indicator_faith", "power_magic", {skill = "Thaumaturgical Diffusion", powerpoints = "main"})
    ArcaneManager.registerArcaneType("Voodooist", "indicator_faith", "power_faith", {skill = "Voodoo", powerpoints = "main"})
    end
    My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically

    Yours are still on combat round 6

    I think the hellfrost setting has the same issue. I am not seeing the setting Arcane backgrounds listed now in the drop down box on the Powers tab of the character sheet.

    None of the Hellfrost arcane backgrounds are in the dropdown for me either... only the ones from the Core rules.
