Official MGT2e Bug Report Thread

In exploring Locations I found one from the Great Rift Book one that is incorrectly formatted.

Tersta in the Khouth subsector of the Corridor sector (all names are correct in the filter) - no data for the entry. In the Type filter this is the only entry that shows the Statistics numbers rather than "World".


Detail from the book (Great Rift Book one, page 25):
Name - Tersta
Location - 0102
Bases - (no entry)
Statistics - C574522-7
Trade Codes - Ag Ni
Travel Code - (no entry)
Allegiance - Imperium
Gas Giants - (no entry)

Hi, in ship combat getting [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "MGT2:scripts/manager_spacecraft_combat.lua"]:546: attempt to perform arithmetic on local nThrustMod' (a nil value) when I tried to have it calculate initiative. I suspect I'm doing something wrong with how the ship is setup or something.

I'm currently on vacation, but will tackle these on monday.

One more Locations quirk that feels like a bug to fix.

When entering a new location if the Type is not "World" or "Planet" the window suppresses the Sector and Subsector Fields.

Use case: Entering in all the various other planets in a system. Each should/can have its own Location entry.

So when searching the Trojan Reach as a Sector and then a listing of Planet - Gas Giant it brings up a listing of all the systems in the sector with gas giants.

If the Type is changed from World to a Starport, Planet - Gas Giant, etc. as a Type then currently the two Sector and Subsector fields are not available to enter information. Which prevents searching/filtering by those two fields.

The entry does correctly filter down below for any new Type we create. I would like to still keep the other two dropdown filters.

Edit:
After changing the Type to World or Planet and adding in the Sector and Subsector data, lock to commit, then change the Type back to something different the fields are still suppressed from showing but do work in the drop down filters as expected.

I can expand the types to have it, but wasn't sure spaceports had the same setup. If you can make a list, I'll make that available.

Enjoy the holidays!

The Sector and Subsector fields should be available for all Locations. That keeps the filters the same across all of them.

I pushed an update to address the recent reports.

I don't know that it is technically a bug, but when you create an NPC you can't add more than one piece of armor. There are a few that stack in game. But the easiest example is say an energy shield and any other armor. When you drag it onto the NPC it just replaces the other item.

It was how it was built. You can list all the armor in the armour type field and just have the total protection in that field.

Hi, in an older version of FGU, I had put in place loads of planetary data for each system. This included a lot of bespoke stuff like trade information that the players could then access through shareable links on a system map that I'd created.

I note, however, that all this information has now been erased. The links have been broken as a result. I also note that the Location template has been updated (there is now a tab for a picture). I'm not sure this was even called 'Locations' before? Is this the reason for me losing all this data? Is there any way I can get it back as I spent loads of time putting this together?

[superteddy57]

all systems and homeworlds were merged with locations. Links would have to be updated. Did you replace the data from the module records or did you create new records?

I took the existing data forms and modified them, so usually adding a ton of stuff to the skeleton info that was already there. I think IIRC that these were System templates. All of that stuff has gone.

Hi, brave FG developers

I have now updated to the 2022 update of the Core Book :-) , and having just tested First Aid, it seems to be behaving the same in the 2022 update, as the previous version.
ie. first aid does not have "min. 1 point"
I rolled a final total of 8, therefore effect 0, and ended up with
[0 Healing]

Good luck

Hopefully, this can be fixed at some point so we can just drag and drop, but yes there is a workaround.
