I've noticed some issues with derived stats extensions (The Achtung! Cthulhu one and the Realms of Cthulhu one), as I do not have the programming-fu to start checking what has gone amiss I'm just pointing it out
Great Update though!!! I've added this to the "Idea Informer" as well.

Savage Worlds ruleset v4.7 is now available with following updates

[Deprecated] Soak button removed from character sheet. Use Benny drop to pending damage entry or damage tracker instead

That's going to take a bit of getting used to.

That's going to take a bit of getting used to.

The Soak Button was removed from the character sheet because it derived too much from how GM would make Soak rolls. The main purpose is to make GM and Player experience consistent so experienced GMs can guide players more easily. The new preferred approach, like with any Benny usages, is to drag Benny and drop it to spot to invoke an action. In this case when you are damaged you will see pending damage entry in CT and can drop your Benny there to make the soak roll. See from the attached image below. The Soak button had other usage issues such as if you had received multiple damages, you would not know which one your soak roll would be for.

Noticed that the Realms of Cthulhu is updated, sorry for not looking before posting... Can someone who understands XML and LUA help me add Dementia and Sanity (as per Achtung! Cthulhu rules) to the Character Sheet? I have the old Achtung Cthulhu ext, but that does not seem to be working...

If I am using the Fear damage extension does that work the same? Drop it on the Fear damage?

error SW combat tracker.png

Timer dont work with SW...
Big Fonts didnt work either
Wasnt there a MENU button in there somewhere? ahh it was under the timer...

Love the positioning of the Bennies and GM Bennies near the dice.

Fear damage ext causes die rollers to fail...

Resizing, or sharing my loaded CT seems to throw a lot of script errors, I have a lot of creatures loaded, about 20. Both GM and player screens. I stripped out all the mobs and reloaded, but still throwing errors.

Lot of items have gained ID modes, that are unID by default, some of them I can't see away to open them up, and no option in Options to not use it.

Timer extension never worked with SavageWorlds. It might cause all those script errors. You could ask it's author if he wants to implement support for SavageWorlds ruleset.

Fear extension, you should get newest version and try again.

Identification feature wad changed that default state is identified unless explicitly set otherwise. The feature is always on and there is no option to change that anymore. What do you mean you cannot open them up?
