Outdated: See Foundry VTT System - Foundry VTT sheets

[lilac storm]

i'm wondering if we can get macros that check, potentially, or something else

[slim crypt]

so lancer initiative lemme check-

[lilac storm]

i'm quite impressed how far we've all gotten with effectively a bunch of modules and duct tape

[slim crypt]

I'm looking forward to an official sheet no doubt

so in the lancer core module - you click your activation button and there's an event hook on the sheet that will do things like Check for Recharge.

[lilac storm]

the Draw steel system people in the other thread are putting in some great work but they're going for a much more complex setup which is taking a lot longer as they're programming a full system

[lilac storm]

you mean in the system? i dont see a module called lancer core

[slim crypt]

yeah the system

[pastel niche]

Bruh what am I supposed to do with this 😭

Haha, it was quite some working just creating a single table inside of a Feature text block to handle this.

[lilac storm]

thankfully you only have to do up to 9

this is how our fury did his

[pastel niche]

I built the Primordial feature like this, but I can see either being useful.

[lilac storm]

man its weird seeing the default foundry font there i havent turned off carolingian UI since i got it

[pastel niche]

Haha

[worldly marsh]

Is this the up to date table?

[pastel niche]

Might not be, now that I'm looking 😂

[worldly marsh]

Yeah it's a lot less surge heavy now

[lilac storm]

yeah and remember to only copy the first 3 - the others are beyond level 3 meaning we can't use them

[pastel niche]

omg... I really need to have paid more attention to the Patreon releases, I didn't realize we were on Packet 4 👻

Well folks, I'll need to refresh the Censor and Elementalist stuff I've done before I can ship it out, fortunately I'd only just started Fury.

@lilac storm Were you importing from Packet 4?

[lilac storm]

patreon packet 4 yeah. I dont think there are any differences for levels 1-3 for patreon vs backer though

really, we should be using backer packet 2 because that's under license :P

[pastel niche]

Huh, weird. The import macro doesn't seem to like this packet.

[lilac storm]

odd, im having no issues

[pastel niche]

Oh, nevermind. I just can't spell. It was creating a folder elsewhere because I spelled it differently from the folder I'd created 🙃

[slim crypt]

is there a way to tell who's turn it is in combat using foundry scripts

[lilac storm]

possibly, but i have no clue how well that interfaces with the lancer initiative module - default foundry obvs doesnt support popcorn init

[slim crypt]

if you know lemme know

i think i might be able to get it working

especially if Typhos has the auto increment tile working

[pastel niche]

The issue is that Lancer Initiative module, as far as I can tell, doesn't recognize a player when they click Activate, unless it does?

[slim crypt]

true

solution

https://gitlab.com/csmcfarland/csm-macro-monkey

Another fucking module

[pastel niche]

https://tenor.com/view/tape-gif-8649154

[slim crypt]

absolutely.

[pastel niche]

Slaps Custom Draw Steel World

This system can hold so many macros.

[lilac storm]

i'm gonna have to make a sequel video aren't i

[slim crypt]

otherwise it's seeing if there's something we're missing in custom sys builder

[lilac storm]

as far as initiative goes, nope

[slim crypt]

there's some extensibility - we might be able to get Actor Turns running natively

buuut i am 50% of the way there for gain heroic resource on turn start.

[lilac storm]

at this point we're building the whole system as a new thing like the people in the other thread lol

[slim crypt]

lmaooo

yep

[lilac storm]

me personally, i'm okay with some manual nature to resource gain. However, i'm thinking of adding a text box below the heroic resource section on the sheet where players can list how they gain their resource.

[pastel niche]

Automation is nice and all, yeah, but I think for me the important part is just not forgetting it.

[lilac storm]

I'll chuck a "Turn Start Gain" button or something on it that can either auto add or roll a d3 and then add it on.

[pastel niche]

Yeah it'd be trivially easy to create a Macro, share it with every Player, then remind them on their turn to press the Macro button to increment their HR.

[lilac storm]

i think thatll become second nature really. "my turn starts, i gain my resource" just becomes rote behaviour. Its like "untap, upkeep, draw" in MTG

[pastel niche]

I'm just so spoiled by Pf2e's automation though

[slim crypt]

Ah well - a worthy waste of time

[lilac storm]

pf2e automation is nice but it also makes it (from my experience) a bitch to interface with because you have to add all these moving parts to make a custom thing work

its why i like CSB - its quick and easy and its enough automation that it makes it convenient but its also close to playing at the table.

[pastel niche]

I'm coming at it from years running 5e, with even more duct tape to automate things than we're talking about here, so Pf2e has been a dream for me, haha

[lilac storm]

5e has gotten pretty solid recently but i just find that all the automation is purely a nice to have unless the system is so dense it sucks to play at an in person table - like how i find PF2e lol

[pastel niche]

I feel ya. Fortunately DS is fairly limited on the things I'd want to automate, Power Rolls, Resistance Rolls, Ideally a Drag-Drop/Button Click Status System, Save Ends, and Incrementing/Spending HR/Malice. It's an amazingly streamlined system for how complex it is.

Like, this is my ideal workflow for DS:
Start of Turn/Round:

• Increment HR/Malice
  Player: I want to use a Heroic Ability.
• Clicks ability, prompt appears to confirm HR spend
  Power Roll
• Damage and Condition buttons pop up in Chat so you can click the targeted Token(s) and Click Damage/Condition buttons to apply them
  Save Ends
• End of Creature's turn the EoT Save Button appears to roll, Checks Success, and Removes Condition if applicable

[lilac storm]

a prompt beforehand should be really easily implementable, conditions are definitely possible but i really dont know how they work so thats not one i can solve, and the other two depend wholly on if we can futz with the lancer initiative.

[pastel niche]

Good to know. I mostly just use Automations to help with reminders, which again is fortunate that DS has relatively few things to track.

[lilac storm]

I'm gonna get my 3 classes reimported

dont worry about the features for now @pastel niche we'll get a solution for those later

[pastel niche]

Yeah I'm going back through Elementalist with Packet 4 now that I cleaned up Censor.

[lilac storm]

I'm also gonna do some re-sorting of your ones @slim crypt if thats alright

[slim crypt]

As You Wish

[lilac storm]

this is how i've sorted the shadow, will apply this template to others

[slim crypt]

thanke you

[pastel niche]

Alrighty. Got Censor, Elementalist, and Fury done. I didn't do the module import deal, I just imported the actual Packs folders. So I'm not sure if I need to do something else to export them different from your video, Amby?

[lilac storm]

the only way i can think of you exporting them that i can access is putting the content in a module's compendium, then zipping that module. that's the officially supported method from what i know.

anything else is discouraged - i've had enough talks with the Foundry mod team to know the second you do something they dont explicitly support, they don't like it.

[pastel niche]

No problem. I think I got it. This should be every set of classes so far - including their Features?

Though you may need to combine it with your reorganized classes you were updating.

[lilac storm]

this should work - i'll get it looked at in a min

[pastel niche]

Sweet.

[lilac storm]

@viscid schooner another weird one - looks like after apostrophes the parser capitalises thenext letter?

[pastel niche]

Oh, interesting, I didn't catch that.

[lilac storm]

yeah tis very odd

[lilac storm]

almost done compiling

Every Step... Death! failed to iimport name correctly too @viscid schooner

here! this should be all classes active abilities from levels 1-3

[pastel niche]

Let's go!!

[slim crypt]

Alright

Good hustle

[pastel niche]

Now we just need to get a Monster Importer working. I'm trying to tinker with the Macro I use in the PbtA system, but it's quite onerous.

[viscid schooner]

@lilac storm yeah most of those are likely down to me not explicitly telling it to include like “.” in a name etc, should be an easy fix

And the quotes I thought I’d fixed dammit!! Haha I’ll get on it for future imports but agree just manually changing yourself is probably quicker till then

Wow you guys really popped off whilst I slept! Great job!

[lilac storm]

screw it i have nothing better to do, im gonna get cracking on getting each of these a core icon set

[slim crypt]

I tried an importer but FS stores things a little wonk or not at all for some things

[lilac storm]

gonna track the progress here
Censor
Conduit
Elementalist
Fury
Null
Shadow
Tactician
Talent
Troubadour
note: some icons are guaranteed to cross over i dont have infinite options lol

@viscid schooner doesn't look like the importer is accounting for PDF linebreaks and is double spacing sometimes

[viscid schooner]

Okay I’ll add in some code to trim all double spaces to single spaces

[lilac storm]

o7 and apologies for the 30 pings in 30 seconds lel

[slim crypt]

Alright that's the table setup. Thanks for the help today all

Good work assembling a solution from off the shelf parts!

[viscid schooner]

Fixed this now

And fixed the capitalisation after '

EDIT: Updated, see most recent post
Hopefully this works! I fixed the ellipses in "Every Step ... Death" not being picked up, capitalisation after ', and double spaces in the Effects

You'll need to do the 'replace _ability_template ID' thing again to your item's template ID

I'll try fix the error in "Virtuos" later 🙂

Let me know if that works for you @lilac storm

[pastel niche]

Mind sharing what/how you're setting up to run?

Also would love to get a glimpse into your Foundry set up @lilac storm!

[lilac storm]

my video goes over some of it but i'll likely make a sequel - new modules, world guide, etc

[pastel niche]

I'll give it another watch, thanks!

[lilac storm]

basically, everything i walk through there is stuff i actively use/do

but a full breakdown? might be on the table

[slim crypt]

I did this

Gonna run #1330397751829200917

Plus extras

[pastel niche]

Looks pretty good! God Codex looks mind blowing.

[lilac storm]

they just took a massive hit and lost all player data but they're rebuilding

[pastel niche]

Woah what??

[lilac storm]

lingering database problems

[pastel niche]

Yikes

[lilac storm]

tis a tech issue which does in fact happen

[pastel niche]

Makes sense. I've not been following the Patreon as closely as I should, but is the Codex accessible to folks? Or is it just the design team using it yet.

[viscid schooner]

You can apply in their discord to be a playtester!

[pastel niche]

Ah, gotcha! I'll need to track that down..

[viscid schooner]

https://discord.gg/GC6eCHQP

[pastel niche]

Yup just found it while watching Rise Heroes Rise playtest on it!

[viscid schooner]

This fixes the quotes not being parsed in Virtuso routines

It does mean the capitalisation is a bit wonky, because it isn't detecting the T in “THUNDER MOTHER” as being the start of the word, fixing this is actually a bit more annoying than the fix of just manually editing the ability would be. Don't wanna break anything accidently

i.e. it takes “THUNDER MOTHER” and makes it “thunder Mother”

[viscid schooner]

You're doing so well btw!

[lilac storm]

this is awesome regardless, thank you! I've noticed a couple of things are being wacky in the import but i'm sure as a community we can call out bugs and get them fixed - this was just for ease of use and really only matters once - when we have the data its all done

[viscid schooner]

Totally

[lilac storm]

and thank you - its been a LOT of work but we're almost there!!

definitely need a group effort for if we ever do monsters book tho 😅

[viscid schooner]

Yeah I think that’s my next task to get that done

[pastel niche]

If we can get that importer functional we can get it done.

[lilac storm]

remember we can only do to level 6 for the monsters, so no Ajax

[pastel niche]

That'll honestly likely be easier than the Abilities, I think, due to needing less overall organization byond levels.

[viscid schooner]

I think I could edit the code to auto-populate it into folders based on whatever we wanted

[pastel niche]

I suspect organization for monsters would be somewhat idiosyncratic. Eg., I like Level -> Creature Type -> Organization as a hierarchy.

[lilac storm]

i think we should noodle with the monsters sheet more beforehand honestly - there's a couple of things that could be better laid out

we could also consider getting a theme.css set up so we can make the sheet pretty

[pastel niche]

The Features bit is probably up there for me, IMO. So many creatures have neat features that would be super useful to also be importable.

Oh totally, though I'd think functionality needs to come first?

[lilac storm]

i've taken a lot of time to modify the heroes sheet and i'm still not happy with its final layout - my background in UI design screams at me a lot about a couple bits 😂

[pastel niche]

I'm the opposite of a UI artist, but I do like pretty 😅

[lilac storm]

AAAAAND

We're DONE!!!! all hero powers Levels 1-3, and iconed with icons! good lord that was a lot.

[rapid mulch]

very impressive!

[viscid schooner]

Amazing work!

[upbeat belfry]

hell yeah! How do we install this then?

[lilac storm]

its a module! just unzip it, drop it in your modules folder and enable it in your world!

[upbeat belfry]

oooh okay gotcha! thank you!

[heady zinc]

If you need anything specific, let me know

[viscid schooner]

Do you have data available for monsters? (Like their abilities, features, etc)

Or just the names and ev values etc

[heady zinc]

Yep, it's all there

[slim crypt]

Cheers andy. First issue i was having was easy access to kits, but i think that's a skill issue.

Size isn't stored in the export though

[viscid schooner]

Are you able to share that with me? I could write a little script to convert it to this system

[heady zinc]

Hero size? Yeah it is.

[slim crypt]

Couldn't find it, where bouts?

[heady zinc]

It's 1M unless an ancestry changes it - there'll be a size feature

[heady zinc]

It's all in the repo

[viscid schooner]

Cool! I’m not really sure how that stuff works so it’ll be a fun little exercise to learn

Never used GitHub before

[slim crypt]

Mm. Okay cheers.

[heady zinc]

Does that help?

[slim crypt]

It makes perfect sense

I'm just thinkin bout how I'd go about it

[slim crypt]

Oh one more thing - say i have two kits. It just gives me the abilities of both and the best stats of the two? About what I'd expect otherwise?

Sorry for the ping whoops

[viscid schooner]

Correct, it doesn’t stack

[slim crypt]

Sick.

Is it the best in show for each category or the overall best?

[viscid schooner]

Not sure what you mean sorry

[slim crypt]

So best ranged bonuses, best health bonus, ect

Or the overall best statline

[viscid schooner]

You get the best in each category

[viscid schooner]

Hopefully that helps!

Technically it’s, you choose, but idk why you’d ever choose the worse one lol

[slim crypt]

Some are subjective

[edgy barn]

Do we have a parser for foundry?! 👀👀

[pastel niche]

Heroic Ability Parser is fully ready to go. It's a Macro Haezan developed.

As an aside, every Class up to level 3 is also fully packaged in a Compendium!

[edgy barn]

That's amazing! I can't wait to use this to prep my players. Where can I check this out?

[pastel niche]

Class Compendium

[pastel niche]

Latest Ability Import Macro

[edgy barn]

So the compendium works great as for as importing everything (I'm on v11 foundry btw), however with some abilities dragging to character sheet I get this error message in the yellow text.

Here's the console error text as well:

[pastel niche]

Yeah you'll need to update your Template ID per this message, @edgy barn

[edgy barn]

So, I had it updated--this was from dragging stuff from the compendium module into an active character sheet. It's possible I did something wrong re: that however

[pastel niche]

Hmm. I haven't installed from the Compendium myself, so it may actually require refreshing the individual Ability items so they are made compatible with your existing Template.

[edgy barn]

That actually did it...let me try with a couple other abilities.

[slim crypt]

yeah so Custom System isn't a fan of compendiums

[pastel niche]

Makes sense! With the original Importer Macro it was using Haezen's Ability ID, so a user using the Importer would need to update the Macro with their own Ability ID. Makes sense that the compendium from Amby would face the same deal, and that Refresh button would do the deal.

[edgy barn]

It's worked for each ability I've tried after refreshing...now just to find a way to hit the reload template for every single item 😆

[pastel niche]

cries in making another macro for that

lmao

[edgy barn]

Here's the extent of my coding:

for items
if reload button not pressed yet
then press button please
//thank you :)

[slim crypt]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Compendiums

here you go

it exists.

hi how are you doing i am trying to figure out why these features refuse to import

[edgy barn]

Jesus, how do I even find out the compendium ID while it's in the sidebar? I forget it doesn't have UI for it.

isn't there some F12 console trick like get.id or something?

[pastel niche]

Now for the million dollar question... To create Ancestry, Career, Upbringing, and Complication Features for their own Compendiums, too..?

[viscid schooner]

I actually have that coded already

[viscid schooner]

Let me get that for you

[lilac storm]

[viscid schooner]

Think that would require a redesign of the sheets haha

[pastel niche]

Haha, probably. What I'm thinking is actually just making a Journal Entry for each huge block of features, since most of them aren't activated abilities - and just create the activated abilities for those applicable.

Then the Features can just be copy/pasted into Features on a Sheet, and Abilities can be drag/dropped.

No need to recreate the wheel.

Let's see how fast I can get through the Ancestries.

[slim crypt]

nah i'm trying to make a character importer

i managed to get everything sorta working - i can import a file as text and it'll spit out most of what i want

but when i'm trying to add to the dynamic tables it isn't working

[lilac storm]

yeah dynamic tables are fussy as all hell because they require you to manually increment rows

[slim crypt]

i've done that

[viscid schooner]

for (let item of game.items) {
try {
await item.templateSystem.reloadTemplate();
} catch (error) {
continue;
}
}

Let me know if that works for you!

[edgy barn]

Just to clarify, this effectively scrolls through everything in the items tab and hits the reload template button?

[pastel niche]

Ancestries
✅ Devil
✅ Dragon Knight
✅ Dwarf
✅ Elf, Wode
✅ Elf, High
✅ Hakaan
✅ Human
✅ Memonek
✅ Orc
✅ Polder
✅ Revenant
✅ Time Raider

[viscid schooner]

correct

[edgy barn]

So...it worked once however I was only testing with a couple items in the sidebar. One I created manually and the Ability Template "default". After importing the entire compendium folder, it just nulls out and doesn't give any result. Here's the F12 data for the success though.

[viscid schooner]

@lilac storm can you add your _ability_template to the compendium folder? That might fix it

[lilac storm]

odd but yeah

[viscid schooner]

Or run this @edgy barn to better see the errors:

for (let item of game.items) {
try {
await item.templateSystem.reloadTemplate();
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Failed to reload template for item:`, item, error);
}
}
ui.notifications.info("All item templates have been processed.");

[lilac storm]

there's the new one

[viscid schooner]

Try this first though, might save everyone the hassle. Delete your _ability_template first to try get it to work

[edgy barn]

I can test this while I have a moment

[edgy barn]

Still throws errors--I tried it on a fresh world using the install instructions all the way up until the Making the template item instruction.

Mind you all I am on v11 build 315 (latest stable) and manually updated the compendium module to have minimum compatibility with said build. Not sure if that has any effect.

Unfortunately, I just tested on my v12 Forge instance and it throws these errors.

[viscid schooner]

Yep can confirm I'm getting the same errors as you trying to import it

[pastel niche]

Alrighty. Ancestries done. Going to package up the Journals and Abilities into a Compendium(s).

[edgy barn]

You're doing the Saints' work!

[edgy barn]

It's so good not to be alone 😆

Well, time is up for me tonight. I'll try and bug y'all another time. Thanks all for the help!

[edgy barn]

Amazing progress btw!!!

[slim crypt]

I DID IT

some debugging tommorow

but we're basically done

i just need to figure how i'm stocking powers and - you might not be able to use items yet - but it works

[pastel niche]

Lmao. Just as I finished.

[slim crypt]

i think hand stocking is gonna be better than any of my bodge.

[pastel niche]

I have Journals listed for each Ancestry, so you can Copy/Paste add to Feature blocks, and both linked to and created the Ancestry Abilities that are Drag/Drop ready.

[slim crypt]

anyway imma pass out

[viscid schooner]

Okay I think I've fixed it lol

@lilac storm I hate to do this to you again, can you remove the templates now 😂

As in the _ability_templates etc from the compendium

[lilac storm]

I'll jsut delete the message because nothing has changed from the previous one since then lol

[edgy barn]

And luckily I still had the original zip on my mobile device!

[viscid schooner]

okay testing my solution on a new world

Seems to work!

So go to a world before you had these errors
Then import the abilites as usual
Before doing anything else, run this macro:

Then wait for all the sheets to open, and then wait for all the sheets to close (macro just iterates over them and opens and closes them lol)

And it should work!

[edgy barn]

Thank you! I'm eager to try this tomorrow

[upbeat belfry]

Omg so much stuff has happened- so do we just grab the zip files, unzip em, put them in module folder and enable them for the world? Is that all we need to do for all these compendiums?

[pastel niche]

To get all this working:

1. Download the Compendium Modules Amby and I posted
2. Download the Refresh Macro Haezan created
3. In your world, enable the two Compendium Modules, Create a Macro and Import the downloaded Refresh Macro - then run it

And I think you should be good to go to Import the Class/Ancestry stuff from the Compendiums into your World!

[edgy barn]

I was able to test it, and everything I dragged onto a character worked! this is in v11 build 315, so I'm assuming v12 will be fine as well!

Thank you all for the hard work, this community is great and I'm amazed every day!

[edgy barn]

Just to let you know, I did take a gander at these and It seems that the Elf, High and Hakaan are missing from the ancestry abilities, but the ancestry features seems to have everybody!

A side note, I changed the minimum compatibility in the module.json for my own personal world to 11.315, the latest stable build. Just in case I can't update to v12 on my local instance any time soon while I have an active game running in other systems.

[pastel niche]

Unless I'm mistaken, High Elf and Hakkan don't have any Activated Abilities.

The Abilities Section is literally for abilities with the Action, Triggered, and Maneuver categories. Otherwise they'll just be text-based features you add to the Features section.

[edgy barn]

Apologies! I just started counting ancestries and didn't look back 😅

[pastel niche]

No problem! In the Ancestry Feature journal entries they each should have a direct link to the associated Activated Abilities in the Items section.

[upbeat belfry]

what's the module you posted? I have the DS-csb-Compendia and reload-abilities downloaded

[pastel niche]

^ Ancestry Abilities and Features

[pastel niche]

^

[upbeat belfry]

Thank you!

[pastel niche]

I'm currently working on getting a group together to play some Pf2e in the Codex team's VTT to test it out myself, but I'm also planning on getting to Careers and such as well.

[upbeat belfry]

I'm sorry if this is basic stuff- but how do we install these modules and such? I tried extracting and then putting them in the modules folder but it didn't work

[edgy barn]

Are you running v11 still?

If so, right click the module in your foundry setup, and for minimum version (assuming you're running the latest v11 stable build) type in 11.315, then restart your foundry instance.

Remember to enable them in the world you want to use.

[upbeat belfry]

I'm running version 12 actually

[edgy barn]

Only thing I can think of is make sure the file path is correct? It's usually some sort of appdata/FoundryVTT/data/modules path.

I'm at work and on mobile otherwise I'd help a bit more

[upbeat belfry]

Oh no worries I understand haha

[viscid schooner]

What steps did you follow so far?

[upbeat belfry]

I've completed the steps so far in the pinned part, it's just everything else thats super recent that I'd like to impliment

[viscid schooner]

To add all heroic abilities to the game follow the messages below carefully:

So you download the zipped file here

Copy the contents and place the folder in your modules folder

I’d probably then take a backup of your world just in case you have to reload, can do that in the foundry setup screen if you haven’t before

Then load your world (will need to reload if it’s open or at the login screen when you dumped the module in), and go to the activate modules tab, activate the module (and get prompted to reload the application)

Then it should be in your compendium, so navigate to that and right click and select “import all”

[viscid schooner]

Then copy the text in this and paste it into a macro, changing the option from “chat” to “script”

Run the macro and wait for all your items to open and then close (may take like 10 seconds)

And you’re done!

[upbeat belfry]

Okay I was putting the files in the wrong module folder (node_modules instead of going into Date and then Modules) and yeah it went smoothly from there, thank you so much!!

Okay so- Im unable to add the new features so far onto the character sheets, is there something I'm missing?

[viscid schooner]

Hmm that’s strange, does it show an error?

If no, Have you opened the _hero_sheet template and ticked the _ability_template?

As per this 🙂

[upbeat belfry]

omg that was what I was thinking of, but I couldn't remember it exactly; yes I did tick that before but I think the new uploads undid it or something?? But yes I've got it working now woohoo, thank you again!

[viscid schooner]

Woohoo!

[slim crypt]

so i've been getting "item template has been deleted messages"

[viscid schooner]

Did you do the macro above before adding them to the sheet?

[slim crypt]

... no

i deleted them all and then did it

idk if that's ruined it forever

[viscid schooner]

I think once you’ve run the macro it doesn’t actually ruin the items or sheets, it just keeps triggering that really annoying error

If you’re able to go to a backup world before you added the items that would work, otherwise you could try duplicating the sheet and see if it maintains the error in the duplicate?

I also think the error only appears when you add new items to the sheet, so once you’ve actually added them it should be fine to run the game without seeing the error until you level up

(Technically it’s a warning not an error, but I digress)

[slim crypt]

it keeps popping up whenever i manipulate the sheet

persists on duplicate

[viscid schooner]

Damn that’s really annoying

Cheers Jim

Does it cause the error on other sheets? @slim crypt

[slim crypt]

i've reloaded the world and followed instructions

no long appearing

[viscid schooner]

Phew! Glad it’s working for you now

[slim crypt]

haha

no.

now it's not rolling abilities!

he says.

as it begins to work.

[viscid schooner]

Hahahaha

May your rolls all be tier 3

[slim crypt]

Wanna know what it's like to live in a slasher movie?

do computer stuff

"The bug... it was just here.... You have To Believe Me!"

[pastel niche]

Wait what's the Macro for that??

[viscid schooner]

I think I’ve set the keybind to alt-F4

[agile spruce]

That also makes your computer run faster

[edgy barn]

Does anyone have any Foundry ready statblocks for some Draw Steel enemies? If possible I want to run a one shot for some friends but I don't have a bunch of time to prep it. Was hoping someone had some json data I could import

I posted a compendium of the level 1 Goblins a while back.

@edgy barn

[edgy barn]

Thank you!

[pastel niche]

They should have all their art, too. But if not let me know and I can try to package up some Art this afternoon.

And I'm pretty sure @lilac storm has all the Eschelon 1 Devils?

This I think?

[edgy barn]

I'm actually having trouble importing it, I placed it where modules go, but alas nothing. Still investigating

[pastel niche]

I may have exported it improperly, merely as a Compendium folder that I would then place in my Packs section of the Game Folder

[edgy barn]

Where is the packs folder? Is it not in the /local/foundryVTT/data/ path?

[pastel niche]

It's further into the System folder. I can package up a Module later.

[edgy barn]

Ah, I don't have a packs folder yet. I'll try and create one maybe and see what happens

[pastel niche]

If you have created Compendiums in your World you should have a "packs" folder. But yeah maybe just create one in the same place your assets folder is for the System.

[edgy barn]

Unfortunately that didn't work--I think it'll have to be a module. I do have packs folders, but for other game systems I have existing compendiums in

[pastel niche]

No worries. I can pack it up in a couple hours.

[pastel niche]

Hey, sorry, wasn't able to get around to the package, I can try to get to it tomorrow.

[edgy barn]

No worries! I'll be up doing a bunch of work for the next 6-7 hours so I might start hand importing and see how it feels

[edgy barn]

Hey @viscid schooner , Does the parser macro work for monster abilities? I tried with this text highlighted but it didn't work. What has your experience been?

[pastel niche]

Not yet

The major difference is that the monster abilities function from a different template, so the entire macro framework needs to be reworked to account for that.

But also, a larger full Monster Import Macro would likely be better served vs an individual Monster Action importer

[edgy barn]

Ah, I see. For now, do the creature abilities go in Traits? I'm not seeing a super intuitive place to make one (that isn't found in the trait edit section)

[pastel niche]

You can just make Item Abilities as normal and tick the Enemy template for that purpose.

Thats how I made the Goblins

Traits are things like Crafty. And since almost all Goblins have it I created a Template Goblin that also has the Malice abilities so I can add that to any Goblin encounter and copy from the Template Goblin when creating new Goblins.

[edgy barn]

Ah, I didn't even consider the item portion. That's much better.

[pastel niche]

~~Almost like it was designed with that in mind ~~

[edgy barn]

Oh, how I appreciate thee

[pastel niche]

Thats definitely Haezan, I can't take credit for that. But it's a sound design.

Basically anything that has an Action cost should function as an Item Ability. Anything else should be Traits.

[edgy barn]

I was able to import a few monsters with little issue!

Do we have a field for malice? Is it either of these two empty fields?

[pastel niche]

Yeah I found that the Actors and Names will import, the issue was getting the stats, and notably creating and adding the Abilities and Traits.

And no, not that I'm aware. I'd suggest, at least for now, just keeping a separate creature to add to Initiative for Incrementing and Spending Malice.

[edgy barn]

I've just been doing everything by hand. So far, for level 1 gobbos, it's been 5~10 minutes per. Not bad! Thx for the malice suggestion 👍

[pastel niche]

Actually, for the Malice, I suggest Party Resources.

In Haezan's installation guide he should have included Amby's video with a few Modules she suggests.

Party Resources and Bar Brawl are great.

[edgy barn]

Oh man, I haven't used that module in ages. Glad to see it's still maintained!

[pastel niche]

PR creates a big bar at the top of your screen you add manage Malice and Hero Tokens.

For Bar Brawl it's great for splitting a separate Token representing Minions into the Full HP of the Group that you can visibly break into 8 blocks representing each Minion dying.

[edgy barn]

@lilac storm Any way to hack the token-aura-ring module for v11? I've tried chanigng the minimum/verified sections in the module.json to no effect, unfortunately.

[slim crypt]

The minion solution is inspired by the way.

you can also copy out your initative groups and just use them for intiative

[slim crypt]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyEdmonds/token-aura-ring/1.3.1/module.json

install this specific module from manifest, uninstalling your last version first.

https://foundryvtt.com/packages/token-aura-ring

[edgy barn]

So I have this version installed natively, but it misses the functionality used in AmbyNavy's solution for squads

[slim crypt]

Scroll down on this page and you'll see past editions of the module for install. Beauty of version control babyyyyyy

oh it doesn't have the token outlines?

hmmm

[edgy barn]

It has the outlines, but not the management options as far as I can tell

[slim crypt]

What part's not working?

[edgy barn]

No visible directory like in this screenshot. Mine is the less pretty UI on the left.

[slim crypt]

a shame but not a deal breaker

[lilac storm]

unfortunately not - Foundry usually has breaking changes between each major release they do, and so any kind of backwards compatibility gets shot. your only solution is use the old UI or upgrade, im afraid :(

[slim crypt]

yeah i see that

you might rig condition lab to mark a unit with a little circle?

like roll20 does

[pastel niche]

That's weird. I have the aura ring directories?

[edgy barn]

v11 latest build?

In amby's video, the aura ring access is in the identity tab of the token, mine has a seperate tab

[pastel niche]

Ah. I'm in v12

[edgy barn]

So---future note for people who might want to upgrade from v11 to v12 (I was only doing this for testing purposes).

The item IDs that work as templates (I'm assuming) got all jumbled when going to v12 using the create compendium/module functionality, and although items, macros, actors came over correctly, and edits to them involving dragging new powers were completely borked. Not sure if anyone knew about this so I wanted to frame it here quickly. Alas I am tired and am going to bed with a functional v11 world locally and a deleted v12 world on the Forge because, well, holy hell everything I tried to fix it didn't work.

[viscid schooner]

When you say dragging the power was not working, do you mean that it was showing a yellow warning message every time?

[edgy barn]

Yes, even after running that macro again, unfortunately.

[viscid schooner]

Did you try dragging them in before running the macro?

Because it seems there’s a weird glitch that if you get the warning, and then fix it, it’s fixed but continues to show the warning for no good reason

So you have to fix with the macro before ever adding to a sheet, super tedious 😔

[edgy barn]

If I ever attempt this again, I'll try that. The whole ordeal was a pain

[viscid schooner]

Yeah, custom-system-builder can be real annoying at times

But once set up it works like a charm

[edgy barn]

It would be amazing if we could have a ready to go world setup for a v11 instance and then a v12 instance. (Granted I'm only saying v11* because I'm still on it)

[lilac storm]

what are you still on v11 for?

[edgy barn]

I have an existing 4E game that I'm running locally--but I kept a forge subscription to test v12 stuff, especially now with Draw Steel.

So, I started working on a Draw Steel world in v11, but I'm working on backing it up to import it into a v11 instance of the forge, then update it all to v12.

[lilac storm]

ah yeah i get that - i know how it feels to have that reason for being on it. the only v11 module i needed - autocomplete inline properties - became redundant when i quit using 4e

[edgy barn]

I mean, do you suggest taking a v11 backup of all my worlds, updating locally, and then reverting to v11 when I need to run a 4E game again? I haven't played too much with downgrading versions.

[lilac storm]

ehh it gets annoying. Personally, if you’re ok with using shortcuts to open your foundry, I’d install two different versions in two different folders, then have separate user data paths for both - i think thats doable at least! foundry gets whiny with multiple instances but i think theres a guide out there for it.

[edgy barn]

Oh wow, yeah. The nodeJS install video by Encounter Library is really concise!

[edgy barn]

This might be very niche, but if anyone needs a macro for existing Foundry scenes from map pack compendiums that default to 5 feet--this changes the scene grid distance to 1 square and also divides the light/sound/wall info by 5, to scale it down to a square grid size.

//The following script Scales the current scene from "5 ft" to "1 sq" 
const scene = canvas.scene;

//only run on scenes with distance of "5 ft"
if(scene.grid.distance != 5 || scene.grid.units != "ft"){
  return;
}
// 5 ft to 1 sq
const scale = 0.2;

//Placeable Lights
const lights = scene.lights.map(light => {
  return {
    _id: light.id,
    "config.dim": light.config.dim * scale,
    "config.bright": light.config.bright * scale
  };
});
await scene.updateEmbeddedDocuments("AmbientLight", lights);

//Placable Ambient Sounds
const sounds = scene.sounds.map(sound => {
  return {
    _id: sound.id,
    radius: sound.radius * scale
  };
});
await scene.updateEmbeddedDocuments("AmbientSound", sounds);

//The scenes units
await scene.update({
  "grid.distance" :1,
  "grid.units": "sq"
});

[slim crypt]

My friend uses a workaround from the lancer foundry guide to run an old version

[pastel niche]

Is this different from just going to the Scene details and changing the Tile size/details?

[edgy barn]

So, I'm not sure how it works now, but in the past when you did that it would jarble all the walls and lights and placeable sounds. Not sure if they fixed that in future foundry releases.

[pastel niche]

Ah. I've never noticed that issue, so I assume it's fixed.

[edgy barn]

Here's hoping!

Would it be possible to snag that zipped folder from you re: lvl 1 gobbos?

[pastel niche]

Just to be clear, you weren't able to import them here? Foundry VTT\Data\worlds\custom-draw-steel-world\packs

This is the Compendium you should be able to drop in and extract to load into your Compendiums.

[edgy barn]

I still have the old file, so I'm gonna check, there's a chance it had something to do with differing versions when I was v11 testing.

[pastel niche]

Ah, could be. Double check that, if you would. I will work on creating a Monster Module all the same.

Here you go!

[edgy barn]

Well, good news is that the import worked flawlessly, unfortunately though those damn yellow messages re: ability ID's come up for every creature's actions/maneuvers etc

[slim crypt]

I figured out what it could be

It's the abilities i think

Or it could be

Can you show me the yellow message rq

[edgy barn]

Sure, let me get to it. Im remoting in from work to home 😅

[slim crypt]

Mm.

[pastel niche]

It's likely the Abilities vs the Enemy Template, might just need to refresh each of them like the Hero abilities

[slim crypt]

Take yer time the fix is annoying anyway.

[edgy barn]

This is just from importing the compendium into the sidebar, not even opening up a character sheet:

[slim crypt]

Right it's a compendium issue

so what that means is that your ability is using a template that it can't find

[edgy barn]

This is from accesing a power via an imported sheet:

Which is more of a sidebar item issue as far as I can tell

[slim crypt]

if you access the sheet, does anything show up?

the gobbo assassin in this instance

[edgy barn]

This is from accessing a seperate gobbo, but yes this is the first time the sheet was opened

[slim crypt]

is there any abilities on the sheet

[edgy barn]

Yes, two of them

[slim crypt]

Right. Are you able to delete them from the sheet?

[edgy barn]

Yes

[slim crypt]

if it keeps showing up then, that typically means there's something that's been added to the sheet wrong

so the way this works with the compendium is you referesh all the sheets using the script above

[edgy barn]

Refresh them while they're in the compendium, before they ever hit the sidebar?

[slim crypt]

you take em out of the sidebar then hit em with the macro

if it still kicks up a fuss there might be a way to mod the macro to work for actors, but i'd be a little concerned as to how it'd effect things

[edgy barn]

Would you mind replying to the message with the macro, just so I can make sure I'm using the right one?

I have the Haeken made one--not sure if that's what you're referencing.

[slim crypt]

yeah that's the one

as referred to in the pins

the issue is that tbh this is a little bit of a duct-tape solution to begin with, so it might be we're at a dead end

[edgy barn]

Yeah, I ran the macro just now, then imported, still didn't work unfortunately

[slim crypt]

it wouldn't fix the actors currently in the directory

you'd have to reimport to your items tab from compendium

but gimme a tick

[edgy barn]

No worries--it seemed to have worked for a moment? I checked the same assassin after running the macro, rolled an ability and also opened up the ability via the sheet, and only had one error message:

[slim crypt]

did you delete that assassin and then reimport one and then run the macro

if so do that. If not - try running this after a backup.

(async () => {
  // Open all item sheets
  game.actors.contents.forEach(item => {
    item.sheet.render(true);
  });

  // Wait until all sheets report that they are rendered.
  await new Promise(resolve => {
    const checkInterval = 50;   // Interval in milliseconds
    const maxWait = 5000;       // Maximum time to wait (in ms)
    let waited = 0;
    const interval = setInterval(() => {
      // Check if every sheet is rendered
      const allRendered = game.items.contents.every(item => item.sheet.rendered);
      if (allRendered) {
        clearInterval(interval);
        resolve();
      } else {
        waited += checkInterval;
        if (waited >= maxWait) {
          console.warn("Timeout waiting for all sheets to render.");
          clearInterval(interval);
          resolve();
        }
      }
    }, checkInterval);
  });

  // Now close all item sheets
  game.items.contents.forEach(item => {
    if (item.sheet.rendered) item.sheet.close();
  });
})();```

what i changed - it now opens every actor sheet and does the same thing.

might work, might not - but at this stage the answer's going to be doing it by hand sadly.

[edgy barn]

Gotcha, I'll try that soon

[edgy barn]

So, order of operations here...
import creatures from compendium
run Haeken's macro
then run this one?

Or just yours?

[slim crypt]

the first one

and for gods sakes back up your world before executing any code from a stranger 😛

[edgy barn]

Already done

Initially kicking errors, but the macro is still running

[slim crypt]

right then it seems you're on your own

it's looking for a template that no longer exists - an item id that no longer exists

[edgy barn]

I'm assuming it's because it ties an item ID to the original creator of the ability.

[upbeat belfry]

I don't know if this is a known issue or not but I'm having an issue with the Monster Resistance Roll- it keeps having ERROR in the action type column for some reason, I also just don't know how to make it so my players could even roll it. It just seems like only the monster can roll it like a normal ability roll

[slim crypt]

break time!

What do we think of this?

[slim crypt]

to the original sheet ID

so it's trying to find an ID that no longer exists in your context yeah

[pastel niche]

Love it.

[slim crypt]

Can't do much without editing the template

but this now feels a little less factory default now, which is nice.

[pastel niche]

From a UI standpoint I like the core info upfront and easily viewed.

From a UX standpoint I like as many buttons/drop-downs as possible vs text boxes

[slim crypt]

Honestly all i'd like to do is take this box at the top and center it

and shove the respite button somewhere next to the hero segment

Maybe a powered by Draw Steel logo

[viscid schooner]

Trust me bro; free_RAM.exe

[pastel niche]

Download GTX7000.rar and extract in your C: drive.

[slim crypt]

fuck yeah it is

got some stuff to fix sure but

doesn't look so weird nowe

[slim crypt]

okay now i'm done.

this required messing with the layout

[pastel niche]

Looks great!

[edgy barn]

Oh man, that's bangin'. The font is so clean, too--any idea what the name of it is?

[slim crypt]

certainly one moment.

I was looking for resources on the discord and the @wet raptor was using https://fonts.google.com/specimen/League+Spartan

thanks to them for sharing the font

[edgy barn]

Starting up in a couple hours--couldn't have done it without y'all!

[slim crypt]

You want the sheet be gray and have the font?

[slim crypt]

gimme 10 and i'll toss the code up, the basics are simple enough

[edgy barn]

If it's just simple CSS, sure, I'm not too bothered at the moment.

I actually don't think Foundry misses the mark re: UI too much*

[slim crypt]

well either way, have fun!

[pastel niche]

Have fun!

[upbeat belfry]

Oooh that looks great!

[edgy barn]

Hot damn that was fun. My players loved it! My elementalist player pushed a goblin into another one and killed the hell out of him.

Among other things, of course.

[pastel niche]

So cool!

[slim crypt]

I have some small thoughts for the sheet after running - mostly in relation to Surges and the Heroic Resource.

[slim crypt]

Surges are in a confusing place for frequency of access. It should probably go near the bottom of the top half.

and Resources need to be somewhere dedicated. Mostly due to long text boxes.

[viscid schooner]

Yeah surges weren’t a thing when I started the sheet, so didn’t want to mess with it too much in case it broke people’s sheets

I recommend using a party resource module to track surges and hero tokens (and malice even)

[slim crypt]

mm.

Fair enough, i've made a lot of changes myself

[viscid schooner]

I think because this is a quick start system, and the Foundry VTT system is coming along now, spending a lot of time updating this may be not worth the hassle :/ but you can do it in your sheets!

Amber has also done some great work on her sheets too

[slim crypt]

mhm. Idk how close the foundry system to be "Feature Complete" per say.

[viscid schooner]

I mean my sheets aren’t feature complete either

[slim crypt]

true lol

[viscid schooner]

I've been working on a monster parser and I now have the abilty to create actors and attached items (abilities)

Hopefully have something working for mass import soon

[viscid schooner]

Okay nice, all the monsters are imported. Just got to fix a few small bugs with unique stat blocks and it’s done

[pastel niche]

Let's go!!

[viscid schooner]

Aight gang, here it is

first you'll need this json file with all the monsters in it. Save it to your Foundry VTT>Data folder (and keep the name the same) EDIT: I deleted it accidently, find it here: #1279333525174358036 message

Then copy this into a macro and change it from Chat to Script as normal. Scroll to the bottom of the macro and you'll see an entry which I've written a comment next to (EDIT: found a bug and squashed it, new macro here: #1279333525174358036 message)

This is where you can copy and paste your monster ability item IDs. You can find these IDs by opening the _monster_ability_temp and _monster_resistance_temp (though this one needs to be updated first, see following messages) sheets and clicking the button in the top left

You also will need to overwrite your _monster_resistance_temp sheet with this new sheet below (just to fix a small bug). Just download this json and right click your existing resistance sheet and click "Import"

This is where the IDs button is btw if you're lost

Let me know if you find any bugs!

[slim crypt]

Question

Could you not find the correct template using the find by name?

[viscid schooner]

Maybe! though it wouldn't work if you renamed your templates as some have done

[slim crypt]

True, but then you could just throw the error and have them do it manually. Well either way really.

Good work haezan

[viscid schooner]

Oops already noticed a small bug, the speed is adding brackets when it doesn't need them. Lets fix that

Monsters JSON:

Macro

Okay! hopefully that's it!

[pastel niche]

@viscid schooner So this only appears to be importing the first creature?

Also doesn't appear to be importing the abilities - I copied in my ability and your updated resistance templates in.

[viscid schooner]

Any errors?

[pastel niche]

I'll double check

[viscid schooner]

Did I share the updated power roll which prints keywords to the chat when rolled yet?

Also, how'd you go @pastel niche

[pastel niche]

Not that I've seen.

[pastel niche]

Sorry I didn't get around to testing more. Been tinkering with the Codex now that I got access.

[dusk idol]

i asked this in the other thread but figured i would ask this here too - has anyone figured out a token tooltip alt config for draw steel?

[viscid schooner]

No but I was thinking of investigating

[dusk idol]

👀

[viscid schooner]

Or rather, I haven’t. @lilac storm may have though?

[lilac storm]

i personally had no luck with it and found it finnicky anyway :(

[dusk idol]

ah darn

[paper sierra]

damn i spent a few hours working on a script to import data from the ForgeSteel data files and it was jank af, and I come back here and find you guys have figured out a way better way to do that

thats awesome

[viscid schooner]

Hopefully it works!

[bold ibex]

Hell yeah, we love a comprehensive schema. Thanks for this!

I'm planning to use the JSON to power a Jekyll static website with my encounters on, and it will save me a ton of time

[viscid schooner]

Glad to help

[wind patio]

Did anyone manage to get the monster import macro working? It seems to function properly, but it only imports the first monster in the list (the angulotl clawfish)

[viscid schooner]

Could you hit f12 and tell me what shows up when you run the macro?

[viscid schooner]

I’ll try fix this later tonight, it looks like a template ID issue which I think I can fix

[slim crypt]

Ah i think i hit that

I think it's because it's trying to access a template that doesn't exist anymore?

[viscid schooner]

Yeah, your template ID would be different to mine. I’ll try get it to auto-detect it

[slim crypt]

you can pull it from the items menu automatically, but if there's two it's probably gonna fetch the first one?

otherwise maybe asking for it as a field in the text entry.

[loud minnow]

@viscid schooner Hey there. So I'm just checking out Foundry for the first time, friend got me a copy. Based on what I saw here and the other module - its not 100% clear - is this module meant to work stand alone for DS, is it an addon with Chaos's version and or is this still up to date (last post in april)?

[viscid schooner]

This was a quick solution I made whilst there was no other foundry support. It’s not dissimilar to the owl bear rodeo extensions in that it just tracks the stuff you need and automates the power roll etc. But it’s not a system in and of itself

Chaos’s is an actual system

So now I’d recommend using their system, especially since it will eventually do all the automation you require because the system
‘ knows’ you’re playing draw steel

I don’t use it though (too much set up in my system now to be bothered migrating) so I don’t know how far along in development it is

[loud minnow]

Noted. Its always difficult when you're working in parallel with someone else on the same task, so I understand the struggles

[lilac storm]

This was a great project to fiddle with but i will be moving to the proper system once they have compendiums - no way im re-entering all my data 😅

[viscid schooner]

As will I haha

[slim crypt]

absolutely. Fantastic cluge work

but i think i just want it to work lol

[eager lily]

Do we have a working copy of this compendium for foundry v13? I installed it but don't see anything under compendiums

[eager lily]

Also...I may be dumb here but how do I make an NPC actor sheet a Minion? Trying to use the new Combantant group feature but says I need to make them a minion first...I dont see any option for that but I could be blind

[viscid schooner]

I think you may have the wrong thread..?

[viscid schooner]

Did you mean to post here https://discord.com/channels/332362513368875008/1342298358664138805

Only because I’ve never made a combatant group feature for minions

[viscid schooner]

Hello all, I've stopped work on this now. It was always only meant as a stopgap whilst https://discord.com/channels/332362513368875008/1342298358664138805 was getting up and running. Glad so many of you got to play!

If you need any specific help you could DM me, but if it requires changes etc done to the sheets I don't have any time anymore to work on it, sorry!

I'm going to close this thread now 🙂

[winter plaza]

hmm I'm running into this issue when trying to drag compendium abilities

[viscid schooner]

Just checking, are you using my Foundry sheets or the Foundry Draw Steel system

[winter plaza]

the custom system builder one

does this work with the draw steel foundry system?

[viscid schooner]

Nope! Haha, but people have been confused between the two before so just checking

[winter plaza]

yeah im following your tutorial google doc

I mean push comes to shove I can always raw dog it, but for some reason even when I remove the skill I get that popup repeatedly

I still get it even when I remove those modules

[viscid schooner]

Ah yeah that’s a glitch with the system itself, unfortunately it’s just going to do that from now on

I had to reload entirely, to a previous back up

Honestly I haven’t looked at this in ages and it’s probably pretty broken lol

[winter plaza]

all good

worse case scenario I just make the specifics of what I need

[winter plaza]

@viscid schooner trying to manually make the abilities; is there a specific reference to pull up the character might value so I can have it display the total damage for an easy way to apply it to the target?

ex) Brutal slam: tier 1: 3 + M damage; push 1.

what I'm trying to do is figuring out how to add what that tier rolled's total value is to post into chat so I can apply the damage to the target

also figured it out, I just have to import as needed I can't mass import the compendium or it freaks out

[viscid schooner]

The chat post doesn’t calculate unfortunately

[winter plaza]

Im a goob, I didn't hit keep IDs thats why it was freaking out

[viscid schooner]

This is one of those things I wish I’d changed at the start lol

[winter plaza]

its all good

fortunately its easy enough to apply the damage through the sheets

thank you all for your hard work 🫡

[winter plaza]

I don't suppose theres a compendium for the general actions is there or kits lmaoooo

[viscid schooner]

I did make them previously and then I updated the sheets and they broke (typical)

[winter plaza]

no worries they're not too bad to put in

manually

[viscid schooner]

What you can do is just make a new item and then drag and drop them onto all the sheets already auto-populated

Instead of making the item each time in each sheet

[winter plaza]

Yeah that's what I was thinking making a little compendium for the general actions etc

[winter plaza]

on the off chance I actually put together a kit compendium, how would I export it to share?

[viscid schooner]

I’m not entirely sure myself

Most people are using the actual Foundry Draw Steel system now, so it might not get much use but of course if you wanna share go right ahead!

[winter plaza]

I'd use it if it had more stuff in it, like are the compediums people made cross compatible?

for now though the stuff you guys have done with the customer system builder is far easier for my code-illiterate brain to figure out and input stuff

[agile spruce]

Not between systems no, what you can do is create the items inside the Foundry Draw Steel system and then they'll be compatible. Honestly it's not much different than inputting the content to this hack

[viscid schooner]

Outdated: See Foundry VTT System - Foundry VTT sheets

[worldly marsh]

What's the, not outdated foundry?

[lilac storm]

https://discord.com/channels/332362513368875008/1342298358664138805

the one here still works but is very slapdash, the thread linked above is better.

[worldly marsh]

Sick, set up easy enough?

installable system inside of Foundry's system browser! I believe @steel snow's plans are for compendiums of abilities soon?

[worldly marsh]

hmm, probably can't sort that for session today then. But will start moving stuff over

[lilac storm]

I'm still gonna be using this version for a little while, and then move when compendiums exist :)

[viscid schooner]

Yeah I'm using this still, just waiting for the codex 😄

[steel snow]

Yeah, 0.8.0 is hopefully going to land within the next week and start to have stuff, and then it's a question of data entry/extraction/translation

[lilac storm]

i know there's a distinct data structure difference, but could we get a macro working like @viscid schooner's [one for this](#1279333525174358036 message) to do imports from text?

[steel snow]

There is already a discussion group talking about parsing/extracting the core book text 🙂
