Outstanding video! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Great video, I learned of a few useful modules that i wasnt using already, and of better settings for some I was using.

Exactly the Video I was looking for ❤️😍😍

IMPORTANT UPDATES ================== MODULES - Jack Kerouac's Animated Spell Effects: Cartoon is needed for some animations, you have to install this manually rather than through the module browser. See sheet for details - Item Macro is now listed as optional. Some folks have informed me that it's no longer need in the "Midi-verse," but it's still listed on official documentation (that is out of date). If you have missing automation without Item Macro, go ahead and enable it again. - DnDBeyond Importer is REQUIRED to get the "actor-wide" medkit from Chris's Premades SETTINGS - MIDI-QOL: make sure that the "Auto roll damage" settings in the GM/Player parts of workflow are set to anything but "never." This is covered if you use the "Full Automation" quick setting, but if you do not, make sure they aren't set to "never." - MIDI-QOL: Under the "Concentration" tab in workflow, set "Enable Midi-qol Concentration Automation" to ON. (This should be automatic with the full-auto quick settings, but verify) - DFREDS CONVENIENT EFFECTS: The "Modify Status Effects" setting can now be set to "Replace." OTHER NOTES - Gambit's Premades's Attack of Opportunity automation may cause issues if used with the DRAG RULER module. If you are experiencing issues, either disable the Attack of Opportunity automation in GPS, or disable the Drag Ruler module. If you are having issues, please visit the support sections of the respective discords listed in the description. While these automation suites are fantastic, and updated regularly, their documentation often is not. We did our best to make sure everything was 100% up to date and working properly, but we can always miss something.

Midi-QoL in-game concentration settings recommend using dnd5e concentration settings. Is there any performance reason to disable it?

I would mention to make it good practice to close/reopen the browser because sometimes settings don’t really take affect with a simple save and refresh.

"Module Management+" can export and import module settings via a downloadable (json iirc) artifact. Nothing in-system does this but I haven't found it too painful. As far as importing a list of modules, I'm not aware of how to do that but it's much simpler because you don't have to remember all the settings, just the names.

Hi Baileywiki,thank's for a video Is more helpful for us, a question about token magic effect, you have disabled the templates for the gambit opportunity attack. Does disabling the magic effect token disable templates for palyer spells as well? When a player casts a spell, is the placement area still displayed before the spell is cast

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

Whenever you use a spell or effect that has a measured template for targeting, you'll still see the template and what things are being targeted when you cast/use the ability (you can see this behavior when I demonstrate Tasha's Caustic Cauldron and Lightning Bolt). Once the template is placed and the spell/ability has "gone off", the template will be hidden if it is persistent (most of the truly persistent templates, like for the Web spell, have other visual effects for you to see where they are).

You're doing God's work.

I've not personally had issues with Walled Templates, so there might be some other setting or conflicting module going on.

What module changes the look and feel of the dialogue boxes? That seems prettier than the default...

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

If you mean the blue dialog boxes, that's from Argon, but it only applies to certain dialog boxes. From what I can tell, it's if the dialog box is "downstream" from using something on the HUD, such as casting a spell that can be up-cast at higher levels. The rest of the dialog boxes are default or styled specifically by the module that they are a part of.

I followed your guide step by step. The only difference is that I do not use D&DB, but another module to import things, but I can use D&DBImporter to update those creatures afterwards. I have an issue, maybe you can understand how to solve it. I am DMing SKT, and I placed on the same scene two big tiles with two different versions of the same map (Players and DM). Then I used Multilevel (I know it is not updated anymore) token to duplicate the party token from the Player side, on teh DM side. I placed a wall to separate the two sections, and a sigle BIG light on the player side (so for the players the DM side is black because the Party token has no darkvision). My issue is that after I followed your guide, if I place any other token on that map, I am unable to move anything at all. I cannot even delete the toke I jus put a few second before (or to be more precise, if I delete it, I need to go to another map and back on this one to see the token actually cancelled). What could be the module that goes in congfict with Multilevel? I think the conlfict is between Multilevel and another module because the other maps are fine, and only this one makes use of Multilevel Tokens.

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

I haven't used Multilevel Tokens in well over a year, so I really couldn't tell you what's causing problems there. I would suggest using the "Find the Culprit" module then run it with MLT and it's requirements set as your controls. It could be the opportunity attacks from GPS since that basically attaches templates to the tokens? I'm not sure though.

I'm not replicating this. When I cast the "web" spell, for instance, I see my template when I go to cast the spell, then there's just the graphic of webs without there being the actual template visible. To move or delete the template, I can see the template icon under my template tools, and the bounding box for the template appears when I hover over that icon or click-and-drag to move it. I would recommend double checking your settings. These are mine: TMFX - Enable Auto Template Effects: OFF - Default template grid on hover: OFF - Automatically hide template elements: ON WALLED TEMPLATES - Hide template border: OFF - Hide template Highlighting: OFF - Show on Token hover: OFF If you're still having issues with those settings, I'd suspect that there's some other setting that's messed up.

How do you get the darker character sheet?

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

If you go into your Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition settings, there's a "Theme" setting at the bottom. You can set it to automatic, which will copy your device's setting (ie: if you use the "Dark" theme on Windows, it'll apply dark in Foundry), and then there's light/dark. Right now this only affects the character sheet, but after Foundry v12 the setting will be in Core, and will affect all pop-ups, dialogs, windows, and sheets (more or less).

What if i need player to roll with advantage how do i go about that i might have missed it in the video but i dont see how to do that?

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

There are key-bindings in your "Configure Controls" settings, by default, alt is for advantage, and control is for disadvantage. That's on PC, I'm not sure on Mac, but you (and your players) can check in Configure Controls by searching "advantage" and the keybinds for both will show up for you. With the automation that we're running here, you and your players shouldn't need to be manually setting adv/disadv for combat often, but it'll of course still come up from time to time.

Most of the modules you talk about are not updated to Foundry v12, unfortunately

Can someone tell me how to automate the summons? My warlock has the "Find familiar" spell and when he casts the spell, it says there are no actors found in the familiar folder.

Stopping mutation" and it doesn't play any special effect upon summoning the token on the field. Its not a big deal, but it would be some great eye candy to have a summoning effect

Why mustn't Auto Roll Damage be set to Never? My players like to manually roll dice, so I want rolling to be manual while everything else is automated. Or am I confusing terms and definitions?

@Zephyr-2011

Ай бұрын

My understanding is that if auto-roll damage is set to "Never," then certain information isn't available for the rest of our automation modules to modify. So the solution is to select "Always" and then use the "Manual Rolling" settings in Chris's Premades. They kind of "pause" the workflow of attacks to let you manually put in roll totals, rather than actually automatically rolling them in the workflow. This lets you and your players get the best of both worlds with the automation and manual rolling. This can also be configured to ignore GM rolls (so that your rolls are still automatic), and only apply to certain players (if some of your players are good with auto dice, and some aren't, etc.). Disclaimer: I've not actually experimented with manual rolling very much, so there might be some additional tweaking that you need to do. I'd pop into the Chris's Premades discord if you have other questions and issues.

All this needs to be built into the 5e module. The PF2E system has all this stuff without even needing most of these modules, so there's no excuse for the 5e system to be so barebones out of the box.

I believe that (a lot) of this is coming. The big difference is that the PF2E system is an official port of the system, and the DnD5e system was unofficial until earlier this year. Now the 5e system devs feel like they can actually implement a lot more automation. Granted, we'll still need module developers to actually set up the automation for non-SRD stuff if we're using importers etc. and not paying for the books on our shelves again (thanks WotC lol)

I really wish that Foundry itself would figure out a way to add in all this automation into the actual product instead of relying on module creators. Some people cannot STAND DND5e....obviously, it'd be far too much work for the module creators to make it system agnostic.
