That will be one of those extensions, turn them off and back on one at a time and find out which one (or ones) cause the error and report it in the extension thread.

So it turned out to be, after some lengthy tests, a conflict in having the Settings for both" Interface Zero 2.0" and "Interface Zero 3.0" active

Either on their own are fine, but not both together.

So not really a bug, nor anything wrong with either item to be reported?

Only one Setting and one Theme at a time (except minor themes like Benny skins)

[Moon Wizard]

While some settings might play well together, those two in particular have a lot of overlap (due to being different versions of the same system), and will not work together.

Why would you want to run both IZ2 and IZ3 settings, since they are different versions of same SW setting?

I guess it was my own ignorance in the absence of info to the contrary

I thought that they were additive.

So, fundamentally - what is a "Setting" that is cliked in the extensions window at startup?

How do they differ from a "Theme"?

I had understood that "Themes" were decorative and aesthetic changes to the UI appearance, but that "Settings" were tied to rule-sets and availability of things like Items, NPC's Skills Edges etc

Or is that only related to the in-campaign activation of modules?

I've tried looking through the Wiki to find guidance on this and failed dismally

Interface Zero is kind of a special case. In most cases, and game system or sets of rules has what FG calls a "Ruleset". That is the mechanics, character sheets and programming to play that system (set of rules) on FG. IZ instead uses Extensions to modify the base Savage Worlds Ruleset to provide the difference in game mechanics between the games. I think this is what are listed as "Settings", but not sure as I don't own IZ.

Themes are extensions that are intended to modify the skin or aesthetics. But it's really up to the theme developer to do that correctly. Because an extension is an extension and a developer can call something a theme even if it modifies game mechanics (but I don't know of any themes that actually do this).

Skills, items, stories etc are (normally) only stored in modules that are loaded via the Library in game.

Since I was working on theming changes to the underlying system to make things easier long-term, I just went through a pass on the SW extensions to make sure they are correctly divided into Settings and Themes. In general, Setting extensions should only modify mechanics; and Theme extensions should only modify aesthetics.

In the case of themes, if more than one is loaded, you will get the mash up of the two themes; with overlaps getting resolved in name order.
In the case of settings, if more than one is loaded, they will either work together or not, depending on how the extensions are written (i.e. how deep the changes go), and whether they are designed to work together.

In general, I suggest using only one Setting and one Theme extension at a time.

That's much clearer - thanks!
