Minor bugfix and new PC automation option

[Added] "EDICT" and "ANATHEMA" PC automation to add text data to PC edicts or anathema data in the Notes tab.

Edicts and Anathema can come from a variety of source - druidic orders, champion causes, deities, etc.. These were entered freehand in the PC Sheet -> Notes -> Edicts or Anathema sections. The new "EDICT" and "ANATHEMA" PC automation will allow these entries to be updated when specific data is added to a PC, or removed if the feature that added the data is deleted from the PC sheet. The automation is documented in the FG Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...ure+Automation

We'll be updating relevant products to use this new automation over the coming weeks.

Here's a basic example of the automation attached to a test feat:




[Fixed] Spell class CL field not storing CL data (GUI standardization changed it to a label, not a numberfield).

With the recent GUI standardization, the CL field in the PC sheet spells header data wouldn't maintain any data entered in the field - see the screenshot below for the location of the data field in question. This has now been fixed.

Note: if there isn't any data in the CL field, the level of the character will be used.

Chat messaging update and new "Favorites" PC sheet tab.

[Added] "Favorites" tab to PC sheet - displays favorite activities - essentially a copy of the "Favorites" section from the activities tab. This new tab is also a floating window - ALT+left-click on the PC sheet tab to open as a floating window.

This is just the presentation of the Favorites class in a separate tab. I threw this together while I was doing some other "activities" work. I doubt I'll have the bandwidth to do anything significant beyond this in the short-medium term.




[Added] defensive effects chat label for VSDC checks

VSDC (versus DC) checks (e.g. grapple, tumble through) that are made against a specific DC of the target didn't indicate in chat any effect modifiers to the defender DC. This has been updated to show those effects in chat, similar to AC effects when a target is being attacked.

Some new functionality, a couple of minor GUI updates, and one bugfix.

[Added] SKILLR2KH/L, PERCR2KH/L and SAVER2KH/L (roll 2 keep highest/lowest) effects. SKILLR2KH/L and PERCR2KH/L don't currently apply to initiative checks.

R2K = Roll two keep, then H = highest or L = lowest.

Allows rolling two d20s and keeping either the highest or lowest on skill, perception and save actions. Syntax: <checktype>R2K<H/L>

Note that there is no filtering on these effects - they apply to all of the specific check actions. The FG wiki will be updated soon.

For example: SAVER2KH and SAVER2KL:




[Added] PC sheet Activity and Action (spell) "Display" selection stored in database with different DB location for player and GM. This allows maintaining of the last Display option selected for both the owning player and GM.

This functionality allows the player or GM to set the "Display" option in the Activities, Favorites and Actions tab of the PC sheet, and this will be remembered in future FG sessions. The setting is saved separately for the owning player and the GM, so each can see the view they require.


[Added] Option to hide PC sheet Favorites tab - this is a per campaign, per user setting - i.e. the GM and Players control if they see this or not.

This new "Per User" campaign option allows each user (players and GM) to control whether all PC sheets they open within the campaign show the Favorite tab.

The minimum PC sheet height has also been adjusted back to the previous setting (660 pixels), allowing a user to reduce the height of the PC sheet and still keep all tabs visible when the Favorites tab is hidden.




[Updated] Order of new PC sheet "Favorites" tab.

The new PC sheet Favorites tab has been moved one slot down in the PC sheet tabs list.


[Updated] Minor adjustments of PC sheet combat tab frame positions.

Minor frame changes to show all 4 defense proficiencies without scrolling.


[Fixed] Better handling of NPC shield data when NPC added to the Combat Tracker.

When an NPC with shield data in the "Items" section is added to the Combat Tracker, the shield data (hardness, HP and BT) are parsed out of the record sheet data and placed within the shield fields - allowing NPC use of the SHIELDBLOCK functionality. This parsing failed for some creatures and so has been modified to better handle different formats of the shield data.

New PC initiative functionality.

[Added] Ability to select the skill to use for initiative to the PC sheet 'Main' tab.

New PC sheet functionality in the Initiative section of the PC sheet main tab - the skill to use for initiative can be set. This is purely for rolls made from the new button (see screenshot below), other initiative actions will operate as before - e.g. the "Init" roll from the quickref toolbar will still use Perception.
