GM effects invisible to players

[Zacchaeus]

As I said above the Show DM roll has nothing to do with effects, custom or otherwise.

The screenshots below show what I mean. In both cases the Show DM rolls is off but the player view only shows the effect when it is applied with the eye set to visible.

Try in a new campaign without extensions. I still think an extension is the problem - or possibly if you are using a module of effects that could also be an issue.

This is a brand new campaign. Made 2 effects with an open and closed eye.
GM rolls are hidden

If you look in the chat log both effects are hidden to the character regardless the eye is open or closed.

No extensions

The "eye" in the chat log indicates the chat log message is hidden, it doesn't necessarily indicate that the effect will be hidden to the player in the combat tracker.

Start another instance of FG on the same computer as the GM instance and join the campaign as a player - then see how the effects in the combat tracker look from a player perspective, they should be similar to the screenshots Zacchaeus shows in post #11.

Fair enough bout the chat log. However if I show GM rolls that 'eye' disappears and my player can see any custom effect I put on him as the default effect is set to 'VSBL'

If I hide GM rolls then any custom effect is set to 'GM' by default and my player cannot see the effect regardless if the eye in the effect screen is open or closed.


I'm working with my player and he is giving me real time responses.

But I do see it working on his computer.


Only extentions I used were:

Druid Wild Shapes
5E- Expanded NPC's
5E- Theogeeks's improved Critical

Oh and

CoreRPG - Has Initiative Indicator



Again this wasn't an issue about 2-3 weeks ago.

Here is my setting for combat. Am I missing something? Anywhere?


I thought the 'show effects on notice' would be my answer but no

[Trenloe]

Are you applying the effects by drag/dropping?

It appears there is an issue where drag/dropping effects with the campaign option Chat: Show GM rolls set to off always hides the effect.

EDIT: and this is also present in a base CoreRPG campaign, so it's the base code not just the D&D 5e ruleset code.

[Rumsar]

Yes I am drag and dropping. so that answers that.

Is there a place where I can put in a ticket or do they already know and are working on it?

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, I can see this as well if effects are dragged and dropped rather than just applied to a targeted character.

I've directed the developers attention to this thread.

Thank you so much!
