Fantasy Grounds Unity - Installation steps
If you are using FG Unity, you can subscribe to receive automatic updates for the rulesets.

Genesys / Star Wars Show Regular Dice Extension
https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/658/view
By default, both rulesets now will hide the d4, d6, d8, d12 and d20 dice from the desktop, since they are not used.
If you want those dice back, download this extension and activate it.
Library files however are not provided as automatic downloads from the FG Forge.
You will still need to download them manually whenever a new version is released for those files.
For Library and Extensions, follow these steps for installing them in FGU:
1 - Download the files from the provided link above.
2) Open Fantasy Grounds
3) Locate and click on the "folder" icon (it will be on the TOP LEFT corner, right under the "X" close icon)
4) a Windows Explorer window will open.
5) Save each downloaded file into their respective folders:
- Library (.mod) files: save under "modules"
- Extension (.ext): should go under "extensions"
- Rulesets (.pak): should go under "rulesets"
Remember, you do not need to manually download rulesets if you are using FG Unity.
They are provided in the download link for FGClassic.
(follow the above instructions to subscribe/download the rulesets in FGU)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION: The Star Wars ruleset REQUIRES the Genesys to be present, to work properly. If you want to use the Star Wars ruleset, make sure to download/subscribe to BOTH.
Notes
Sevrick is always working hard in creating and updating Libraries. Whenever a new version of a file is provided he will reply to the thread.
(I do not update this top message though)
Feedback, questions... please reply to this thread.
Also mention if it is related to Genesys or Star Wars, if relevant specifically to one of the rulesets...

1)Creating Powers/Spells etca...
Right now I dont have a full tutorial but I recorded a small video showing a tricky part of the character sheet:

2) About Descriptions, libraries and "merging" them

3) Adding Dice and Dice symbols to your descriptions
Both rulesets accept special text code that when you type in a text box (like a description field for example) will replace and show an image representing a special dice, or a dice symbol that shows up in dice.
While editing a text field, right-click, and you will see a "help" item. Clicking this will popup a window with a simple tutorial explaining how to add symbols to text fields...
