It appears some (all?) uniforms will increase Encumbrance, and not decrease it when taken off. Worse, it's cumulative.

For example, cycling "CCC5 Combat Compression Suit" equipped/carried several times you'll end up with Encumbrance of 20 or more.

This is a major PITA since the system prints out overencumbered multiple times, flooding the chat. This is made much worse as there's no way to reset encumbrance AFAICT.

Great news! This was easier to fix up than I thought. I've already pushed an update that should fix the encumbrance calculation. Try it out and let me know if there are any other issues, but this should definitely stop flooding the chat with "OVER ENCUMBERED" text.

Thanks, this little bug was annoying!

Confirmed it works. Thank you!

I am new to Alien RPG so this may have been covered. My group started Chariots of the Gods last night and ran into an issue with Reckless talent. FGU didn’t allow a second push roll. We had to manually add a second stress die and roll again. Is this the only work around? Are there other talent-based advantages I will have to watch for?

I'm looking over the ruleset for the time being and don't think talents are automated and will need manual help. I'll look over the code, but would recommend using that for now.

Hello,

I have 4.7.1 Unity.
The Character Creation Wizard is no longer working for Alien RPG. I deleted the entire campaign I had, and reinstalled the campaign. Didn't work. I unloaded all the modules, restarted, reloaded them, restarted again, and it still doesn't work.

I get the error message: [WARNING] window: Anchored static height ignored for control (key_skill_mark_legend_label) in windowclass (charwizard_skills)" in the LOG WINDOW.

Thank you.

It's best to provide your compiled logs after it has issues. Instructions on how to do that here:
https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...o+Compile+Logs

From the message you provided it's a warning and those don't cause features to fail. Please provide the exact steps you performed so it can help us replicate it on our end to find the issue. Also, what exactly isn't working?

I just purchased Alien RPG and I am having the same problem with the Character Wizard. Clean slate. Nothing loads when clicking the Wizard button. All Alien RPG bundled modules are loaded and active for GM and PC. Screenshot from 2025-05-16 22-27-22.png Screenshot from 2025-05-16 22-47-16.png

Dominic, how should I share the compiled logs zip with you?

[superteddy57]

The link I provided will help with logs. You provided me more of what I needed. I'll have a look at this when I get a chance

Thank you for your time and attention to this.

I use FG Unity ver. 4.7.1

Step 1) I recently tried to use the PC BUILDER [Character > Character Selection > PC Builder] included in the Alien RPG module in an old campaign I created some time ago. When I did, I received the log screen that comes out on the left and shows you a list of errors. When you click PC Builder button in the Character Selection GUI, there are no careers to choose from and everything is blank despite the modules being loaded.
Step2) Created a new Alien RPG Campaign (No Extensions, nothing, just vanilla) and loaded all the core modules that I purchased Alien Core rulebook and Colonial Marines.
Step3) Tried creating a character using the PC Builder and received the same error.
Step4) Unloaded all the modules in the new campaign and restarted FGUnity.
Step5) Reloaded all the modules and then restarted FGUnity again.
Step6) Tried creating a character with PC B by clicking on PC BUILDER button, and again, all the careers are blank and the error window popped out.
Step7) Unloaded the Colonial Marines module, restarted, and tried using the PC Builder again. Same error, and no Careers listed.
