Release 19 - Information and feedback

[Trenloe]

I just updated my game and the characters updated their characters. One of the characters only has wizard activities and feat activities. None of the others like skill activities are listed.

Sounds like they didn't have the Core Rules module enabled when they updated. Once they've enabled the Core Rules module they can do the base activity build from the right-click menu in the chargen tracker.

I am very anxious about my session on Friday. I am running the second book of Strength of Thousands (Spoken on the Song Wind). I am beginning to have NPC's with significant capabilities Such as the 6th level Grippli Jinxer. I can cause the roll and I can apply the stage 1 poison labels, but I cannot apply any of the automations for it.

I was expecting that the asterisk click would apply the automation to the target, but that is not happening. I am confused about how to use the automation tomorrow.

Ah. Am I supposed to double click
[Stage 1] then
[2d4 poison damage] then
[stupified 1](1 round)
in sequence?

Now that Release 19 is out, should I be closing the ShadeRaven DnD Actions and Skills modules that people had been depending on?

ApplyAllEffects only works if there effect automation has a result state associated with it. None of the effects in the screenshot have result states (as it would confuse subsequent stage saves) so the ApplyAllEffects button doesn't do anything. Double-click on each automation entry relevant to the stage the target has progressed to.

Thanks Trenloe. I understand.

Did you enable NPC access to the activities window? It appears that now if it is an NPC's turn and they have a target that things in the activity window list like Feint can now be used directly without the activity having to be on the NPC sheet or the Combat Tracker NPC entry. That is a great improvement for NPC automation!

Thanks for that information.

I remember trying to search for all the update posts when I was wondering about new features, but this version of vbulletin only searches for single words.

Is there a single word special pattern that you could use for your update posts (besides the word "update" which generates many hits) to make it easier to find your update posts or alternatively could you put a simple link to each new update post on page one to make it easy for us to keep track of changes?

I'll try and provide a central place for updates. Until I do that, keep an eye on the weekly update threads in the City Hall forum.
