Developer Notes

This version makes some changes that ripple across all of the rulesets, as well as a good number of fixes. Most extension makers will want to take a look at the changes to see if it impacts their code. This version mostly replaces the chat language extension. (Just doesn't include fonts we don't have license or permission to use.)

I've documented all the files changed in this cycle, in case that helps the extension/ruleset developers out there.

Special Notes For Ruleset Developers

• Multi-line chat entry feature requires changes to chatbox frame graphic, chatbox frame definition, chat windowclass and local mode chat windowclass
• Shared pin/link feature requires addition of shared pin graphic, shared link graphics and radial menu public/shareable link toggle graphics

Great work

[Nickademus]

Removed module force load option.

Did I miss something? Why was this changed?

[dulux-oz]

Thanks Moon,

And yes, the new handler call in ItemManager should work well

Edit: But it doesn't

Bug Report
The following error is generated when dragging an item onto a PC's Inventory (tested as a GM, without any Extensions loaded)

Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_item.lua"]:15: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

Sorry mate


Cheers

[Moon Wizard]

The force load module option has been causing client crashes, due to the increased number of modules available and a limitation in the FG architecture on the client. Also, GMs were also force loading adventures to players, which is most likely not desired. The best course of action seems to be to disable the option.

I'm open to feedback on any of the changes, and I can evaluate from there.

[kylania]

Wow, that's a huge list of fantastic changes! Can't wait to start playing with them.

[Nickademus]

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Anyway to preserve the aspect of the GM setting certain modules as visible in the library when the player first opens it. It really helps with new players and for GMs that use custom modules to cut down on the confusion.

[Moon Wizard]

Yeah, I've been thinking about revamping library to include module activation.
