Not sure if this is the right thread, but I think there's a bug in how the Load Limit is calculated. It doesn't look like the Load Limit is updated correctly for SWADE when Strength is increased; ie when Strength is d6 the Load Limit is 40lbs, d8 is 60lbs, etc

I'm also using Deadlands Weird West though; not sure if that's a factor.

[Mike Serfass]

I noticed this in my game tonight too.
Are you using any extensions?

[TBLshenanigans]

No extensions; we're all brand new to Fantasy Grounds and just trying to figure out how to make characters. I only have the SWADE, Deadlands Weird West + Companion, and the Blood Drive modules loaded.

[Mike Serfass]

What, exactly, are you seeing? Does the load limit not change when the strength die is changed? Is the load limit changing but incorrect?
Is gear being equipped and unequipped?

[dogfisc]

I saw this also, and found there is a setting in Options to change the weight per die of strength.
Edited to add: it was defaulted to 10; changing it to 20 made it match up with PFSW.

Load limit on a new character sheet did change as strength die is increased, but the default formula appears incorrect for SWADE. At a d4 strength assigned, the Load Limit is 10lb (without carrying anything / no equipment / anything in Inventory) when according to SWADE it should be 20lb. But when the d6 Strength is assigned, the Load Limit is 20lb (but should be 40lb) even after clicking the "Update Load Limit" button; similarly when d8 Strength the Load Limit is 30lb but should be 60lb; d10 Str reports 40lb but should be 80lb; d12 Str reports 50lb but should be 100lb.

But apparently the setting in Options per dogfisc's discovery to change the weight per die of Strength from the default 10 to 20 made it match up with SWADE!

[Mike Serfass]

I'm glad you figured that out.
What happened in my game is that a player has a utility belt with [Load Strength +1] on it. Items like that won't auto-update. You must press the little button in the load limit box to force an update.
If it looks like the load is off, or encumbered is flagged when it shouldn't, press that little button and it will sort itself out.

I reverted changes to my core books since I could see no changes. Now I get errors whenever I open an item:
[ERROR] window: Control (mods_label) anchoring to an undefined control (columanchor) in windowsclass (weapon_main)
and I can still see no changes. Guess I broke something?

[Mike Serfass]

Have you tried running with no extensions?
