How do you download it and install it? Thanks

It is in the Forge. The link is in the first post.

You need to press the GET button on that page and then do an update for Fantasy Grounds to download it. Pushing GET links it to your account, so if I update it, it will automatically get updated when you update FGU.

Hello! I think I may have encountered an issue with this extension. When using this extension, trying to open the notes tab of a pc ship causes an error message to appear. additionally, the lines where one would write notes are blank. Disabling the extension does not seem to help - the error still shows up and the lines one would write on do not appear. However, a fresh campaign without this extension works just fine (notes display as the should and no errors appear).

I think you may have the wrong extension. The UWP Import tool has nothing to do with the Ship Note tab, and if you are disabling the extension and still seeing errors, then something else is going on unrelated to my extension.

1) I created a test campaign as you described with my extension loaded and was able to reproduce the error.

HOWEVER...

2) I opened a brand new test campaign with no extensions loaded and was still able to reproduce the error you described:





So, as I said, I believe this is a ruleset bug and not an issue with my extension. It does not interact with any other forms in the ruleset and only inserts data into the db.xml for Star Systems.

You are entirely correct. I was too hasty and assumed that it must be an extension issue (this is the only one I use currently). I also tested further and reproduced the error in a fresh campaign with no other extensions. I will make this report elsewhere! Thanks for your help

No problem. This sounds like an existing bug and will likely get looked at and fixed by the FGU folks.

Hello, I had a question about this extension. Today I was using the UWP import tool to fill out parts of the Trojan Reach (namely the Dpres subsector). I followed the instructions provided and the tool seems to be working fine. However, I noticed that sometimes the world data records created include the corresponding text of the UWP (For example, that atmosphere 7 corresponds to standard, tainted atmosphere, or government type 2 is participatory democracy). However, sometimes the data that is imported only includes the numbers - the aforementioned example would only list 7 and 2 in the relevant sections of the UWP with no additional info. This is not a problem in of itself (once I learn to read the UWP anyway) but I was wondering why this is occurring. Does it have something to do with how much or how little info is provided on the traveller wiki? UWP info.png

The data you are referring to next to each one of those entries is populated from the ruleset. I cannot explain why it populated for one system and not the other. I tested it on my end and when I imported the Dpres system like you did, it the text values next to the entries populated for me.
