Also you are going to want to make sure you back up your descriptions from the descriptions tab, before you download a library update from me other wise all your descriptions will be overwritten with blank descriptions.
Then after applying the update restore from backup.

I know you guys have a post on doing those backups/ restores, but I lost track of it. Could you repost the link? please and thank you!

I know you guys have a post on doing those backups/ restores, but I lost track of it. Could you repost the link? please and thank you!

I have to re-record a tutorial, that old video is outdated, but here is a small step by step:

1) I advise you create a campaign just for editing descriptions. Name it something easy to identify, like for example "Star Wars Descriptions Backup"
Do not use this campaign for anything else.

2) Log into FG, open that campaign

3) Open all libraries you want to edit/add descriptions

4) Now, edit records, adding descriptions, in any database you need (talents, skills, items, etca)

When you are done with those descriptions:

1) In the right sidebar, locate the "Descriptions Backup" database (it is under Campaign), and open it

2) Click the "Backup ALL" button.
P.S.: FantasyGrounds may freeze for a couple of minutes, this is fine. If you have a lot of things to backup, that will happen
When the backup is done, you will see a message in the chat window:

All description fields stored into the Descriptions Backup database

3) Now you will export those descriptions, and create a module you can use in your campaigns:

in chat, type /export, and press ENTER
This will open the export window.

Edit the following fields:

- File name: this will be your module file name
- Name: you can use the same name as you used above, or something else. It is the description for the module
(you can call it something like "Star Wars Descriptions Backup")

Under "exported record types", make sure you only have one thing selected:

"Descriptions Backup"

Click "Export", the button is located at the bottom of the screen

This will create a library module for you



How to use the descriptions you created

1) Open your normal campaign (the one you will use to play)
2) go to libraries and locate/open your Descriptions Backup module, the one you created above
Also make sure you have the other libraries opened (the ones from sevrick)
3) on the right sidebar, locate and open the "Descriptions Backup" database
4) Click "Restore ALL"

Now all records will have the descriptions you edited.

Whenever you want to edit/update more descriptions, just open that campaign you have specifically for this, and repeate the steps to backup and create a module
If you have a new campaign, just create a campaign, open sevrick's libraries and the one you created, and restore all records

I am still working on the character sheet Specializations, but should have it in soon (probably weekend)

Thanks all!

You're a hero of the Republic.

Servick, one thing I noticed is that you have "Force Sensitive Exile" and "Force-Sensitive Emergant" as a career. The career should be "Universal" with the specialization being "Force Sensitive Exile" and "Force-Sensitive Emergent."

Yes I noticed this while doing AoR trees they should be available with next update.

NEW RELEASE!
Version 2022-06-20

Unless mentioned, the fix or improvement is for both Genesys and Star Wars.

Fixes:
Item Record: fixed alignment for Price column



Improvements:
Item Attachment record
- modifiers text is now under the modifiers label, providing more space in the window, to show the description



NEW Features:
Career Specialization Trees! (part 2 of 2)
Specialization Trees in Character/NPC sheets!

This feature is available for both Genesys and Star Wars rulesets.
Instead of writing down a long text, I recorded a video. Please watch the included video where I show how the feature works!
P.S.: Just a quick info: When you check/uncheck Talents in the Tree, there is nothing preventing you to check a Talent that is not yet connected to a previous, checked talent.
No code in the ruleset enforce this behaviour, the players should keep this in mind, and follow the rules on how to acquire talents.




How to download the new version:

FG Unity:
You can subscribe to both rulesets in FG Forge. This will ensure that they are automatically downloaded whenever I upload a new version.
(P.S.: everytime I upload a new version here in the forums, it may take a few hours for it to show up in Forge, as it requires Moderators to approve)
(P.S.: If you have already done this before, you only need to click "Check for Updates" in FG Unity, and the download will start)

To subscribe and download the rulesets, follow the links:
Genesys: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/143/view
Star Wars: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/159/view
(Remember, if you want to use the Star Wars ruleset, make sure to subscribe/download BOTH)

FG Classic
You can download both rulesets in the link below
Make sure to save them in your "rulesets" directory

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...R-?usp=sharing
Modules and other extensions need to be downloaded from the above link also (even FG Unity, they are not in the Forge)

Updated files:
- Genesys.pak
- StarWarsFFG.pak
Important note for Fantasy Grounds Classic users
Although this version is also compatible with FGC, there are no noticeable changes, only internal code.
For now the rulesets are totally compatible with FGC, but I strongly advise people still using FGC to consider upgrading to FGUnity.
Smiteworks is no longer updating the Classic application, and it may come a time when I cannot maintain the code compatible.
For now, it is still compatible and I will do my best to continue this, until it comes a time it would hurt the development... If that time comes, I will let everyone know


Download Genesys ruleset even if you are playing Star Wars
Always remember to download BOTH rulesets if you intend to use Star Wars
