Fantasy Grounds Custom Calendar Tutorial

[mattekure]

Thank you for your quick response!
No, I've chosen not to have leap years because I prefer annual consistency.

That makes it easy then. You dont need to do the extension bit. Use this one which was created specifically for this scenario. It is generic and works for any caledar that doesnt have leap years.

The only modification I made to your files was changing the "<lunardaycalc" line as detailed in the first post of this thread.

Make sure the extension is loaded


load your file and select it. The calendar should be working fine.


I've attached the fixed version

Alright, this is so much easier than I thought! The only issue I have is that the Day Handler extension won't appear in the options. I've done some troubleshooting that was suggested which is to disable and hide, update/restart Fantasy Grounds, then reenable and unhide, but that hasn't worked.

Do you have any suggestions?

The only other suggestion I would have is likely something you have already done and thats to force an FG update, even if the update button doesnt turn green.

It worked! I can't thank you enough, I can finally get this working! The Moon Tracker extension also showed up!
I was expecting to wait for a few days or maybe weeks, so this was an amazingly pleasant surprise!

I am working on a calendar, and unsure what I am wanting is possible. Each month consists of 2 fortnights, each ending by a non-numbered festival day. So fortnight 1 is 1-14, fortnight 2 is 15-28. Is there a way to make a calendar that would represent this? Is the solution to make 2 14 day sections of the same month broken up by the 2 festivals as their own 'month'? Is there a way to start a month at day number 15?

I can't make each month simply 30 days either, because that breaks up the proper days in the month. Day 1 and Day 15 should be on the same day. (ie Monday)

My other thought is just make a 28 day month and flag the 15 and 28 as holidays that I just just know in my head count as 2 days passing.

To clearly state what is going on:

Month 1:
Day 1-14
holiday
Day 15-28
Holiday
Month 2:
Day 1-14
holiday
etc

Does anyone have the Arden Vul calendar made for FG?

I don't have it, but it looks simple to setup. Want me to give it a whack?

Oh yes please... very much appreciated!

I don’t think there’s a perfect way to do this, so I think you’d probably need to go the route of the Forgotten Realms calendar or one of the examples in the compiled zip which is actually from my campaign (which is basically the FR calendar renamed). I’m thinking you’d do:

Month1a: 14 days
Holiday 1 day
Month 1b: 14 days
Holiday 1 day

Month 2a:14 days
Holiday 1 day
Month 2b: 14 days
Holiday 1 day

Month 3a… etc.

Not certain what if any naming restrictions there are for the month names as it’s been ages since I messed with the files, but there are so many super smart, very helpful people here that I’m sure you’ll get an answer shortly

Thanks, I appreciate the answer. It does seem that is the only way to really make it work. It makes the calendar look pretty messy but I suppose I can just deal with that.



+1 on an Arden Vul map, I had started working on it but wasn't getting the day wrapping stuff correct.
