FGTabber2 - More space for your FG client

[Aventhar]

This extension is fantastic! By far my favorite. Unfortunately I seem to have found a bug.

With FGTabber2, and no other extensions loaded, some of the top buttons on the Items and Spells lists appear blank. When the blank buttons are pressed, an empty window opens, and an error is invoked.

Including screenshots for clarity. I use the PFRPG ruleset, but I also tested and found the same issue in the DnD 5e Ruleset.

I hope it's an easy fix, and Thanks for this Awesome Functionality!

Is this extension still maintained? Can anyone else confirm the issue I’m seeing? Hey also- I know this is a free extension, but for what it’s worth, I would happily pay for it…

Thanks!

Yep, unfortunately I had to disable FGTabber because of these problems. Now it's back to "manually open all windows every session, find the correct map and generally do tedious repetitive stuff that a computer could automate easily". :-P

Hi,

just a QoL thing that I do is to have the basic row of quick slots for all the various windows, which, since they now remember their last position (mostly), makes rebuilding my desktop at the start of a session a breeze. E.G.:

F1 - Next Actor
F2 - Combat Tracker
F3 - Request Rolls
F4 - Stop All - Syrinscape
F5 - Story/Ref Manual Page
F6 - Spells
F7 - NPCs
F8 - Images
F9 - Items
F10 - Effects
F11 - Party Sheet
F12 - Syrinscape

I tend to make base campaigns with this setup for each rule system (5e, PF2e, CoC, Vaesen etc.) which I set up once then copy and rename when starting a new campaign. I have the Spells, NPCs, Images, Items, Effects windows open in the same place and size as I never need to see more than one of those at a time, and just open/close them as need with their F key.

I also find these 2 extensions invaluable when using this setup - Single Window (with Images the only type set to off - Ctrl/Click will open a new, separate, window of any type) and CT Open on Turn (set to always open, never close). This means that I can also have both the character's sheets and the NPC sheets open automatically on their turn, in their own space on the monitor, but not close until another sheet of their type (PC/NPC) is opened when Single Window automatically closes the pervious sheet. The sheets also remember their position as long as you don't close them down manually.

So this is how I now set stuff up which gets my screen set up within a few seconds of launching a session.

I know this doesn't replace the basic functionality of FGTabber but it does allow at least one set-up to be easily recallable, and makes organising my sessions less frustrating.

I hope this helps a little.

Cheers,

Simon

G'day, Is this a thing for anyone else?
For me it makes it hard to use if it blocks the chat window..

I'll take a look at the extension. Hopefully it is a quick fix.

I can confirm on 5e that the combat tacker seems to sometimes move off-screen to the top-right when switching tabs (FGTabber2 v1.1.0, no other extensions loaded).

Issue:
The combat tracker is not opened after switching to a tab where it was previously open, and you have to re-open it using the combat tracker button in the Tool menu. After opening it, the combat tracker appears in the far top-right of the desktop, half-off-screen. This whole thing only happens if the combat tracker is moved from its default starting position in the center of the screen. If its left there, the bug doesn't occur.

Steps to reproduce:
Host a new campaign with Tabber2 loaded. Create a new tab or two. Open the combat tracker and move it from its starting postion. Switch from and back to the tab that has the combat tracker opened.
Getting the bug to occur is inconsistent. I'm not sure what's triggering it, but when it does happen, it occurs repeatedly.

Possible cause of the issue:
I assume its position isn't being correctly saved or loaded and its resetting to a default position (0,0) or something along those lines.
I haven't tested with other players connected, but it could possibly be that it's trying to save/load the data of the window class "combattracker" when for the GM, the window is called "combattracker_host"?

EDIT: This also seems to happen for the party sheet (which similarly has its class named "partysheet_host" for the GM and "partysheet" for the players) and the character select screen ("charselect" vs "charselect_host"), so I'm fairly confident that the different class names between host and client is in fact the problem.

The position the combat tracker ends up in after switching tabs and reopening it

I've tried this and I don't get what you mentioned (but it was a while ago). What I have noticed is that there appears to be a bug where you can click on a tab and add stuff to that tab. If you click the same tab again (it toggles) and you have another storage slot for windows. I'll try to repeat for the next few minutes to get any repeat of your issues.

EDIT - Please confirm this issue remains.

I don't get the error message but I do get the missing text. I'll look into it.

EDIT - v1.2.0 fixes this for Pathfinder 2e and I could not repeat the gear text issue in 5e. Believe they are both working.
