Release 19 - Information and feedback

[Trenloe]

I have removed all extensions and still get the same result -- when I drag a character from the Character Selection on to the combat tracker none of their effects show up and the PC button doesn't exist. If I exit the game and load it back up everything looks fine.

This is on the issues task list as "CT (GM): Show/hide PC effects button not shown when first added to CT" it will be looked at soon.

Use the "go advanced" mode to add pictures. "insert image" is busted.

Hi,
Since we have played a couple of sessions in the test channel with release 19, I am assuming that I can copy that campaign to my live version and it should work ok.

Is it possible to code targeted effects in the NPC ability automation field for things like hide?

I am having a problem tonight after moving the campaign from test to Live. All the PC combat tracker entries have 0 ac, and saves. Has anyone seen and fixed this.

With a mind to this, I maintain what I've stated before - that for clarity and compatibility reasons, if a spell class can't find an appropriate proficiency, it should really default to the DC and proficiency set in the spell class itself, rather than to 0.

I have plans to remove the DC/Attack settings from the spell class and have all proficiencies in the Combat tab, so I specifically didn't code a fallback. However, I think it's a good idea, so I'll look into it.

Thanks for reporting. This is a Combat Tracker display issue - any attack/save actions will use the correct values. I'll investigate a fix for the Combat Tracker display problem.

The effect "SKILL: 1 item, treat wounds" currently only applies the +1 item bonus to the "Treat Wounds" activity entry and is ignored for "Treat Wounds (Expert)", "Treat Wounds (Master)", and "Treat Wounds (Legendary)" activities. Is there any way that it can be made to apply to all four Treat Wounds activities?

Release 19 is awesome so far. Love it!

You can put them all in one long effect like this:
SKILL: 1 item, treat wounds; SKILL: 1 item, treat wounds (expert); SKILL: 1 item, treat wounds (legendary); SKILL: 1 item, treat wounds (master)

While I understand the appeal of having everything working under a unified system, I have a little concern about things becoming too hardcoded. That is to say, one of the things I like about Fantasy Grounds is that if I want to break the rules in some way - such as having a spell class that has its own proficiency settings rather than being tied to a class feature because i.e. it's for a homebrew thing or perhaps I'm using it to track common Trick Magic Item scrolls - I can easily do that.

More automation is a good thing, but I hesitate about things becoming too "locked down", if that makes sense. Generally I am a strong advocate for always being able to turn the automation off if you specifically want the program to do something different, basically. Features that allow customization being outright removed in favor of automation still feels, on some level, like features being removed.

Yeah -- I figured that out as well. It's just quite clunky--especially on the Combat Tracker. Appreciate you pointing it out, though.
