if you use portrait tokens, with "about face"-addon gives indicators in which direction the token looks

Hi ClayGolem ...love your Add On Vids.

This is fantastic!

Mate your tutorials are really good. Where others are overly complicated, and dare I say it long, yours are straight to the point, easy to follow and genuinely helpful. I'm now a subscriber.

I am having the same problem with the grid not show in the scene and I am using version 11 of Foundry. EDIT: OK just after I wrote this I was messing with it and discovered that the grid opacity needs to be turned up on the scene setting itself. Tactical Grid seems to disable the grid and uses the opacity for it in the scene setting.

Looking forward to moving to V12 soon as we get a few more big updates from the modding community. I wonder how mods like this and about face affect sequencer movements and animations. I might have to test that out.

In the current patch, it is counting certain Focus Spells as slotted spells in a created Focus Spell list. Has anyone found a fix or work around for this?

You may want to remove that Wilhelm scream from the ambiance. It is a bit iconic these days, almost comical. :)

i've used the same solution for room labeling as the roll20 days - tiles/tokens with the text and/or numbers on 'em and make em invis.

I have the same problem with text boxes, already reported. If you use squares or circles, and go to text property it works perfectly, but not with standard text boxes :S

Im too months latte but if it makes you feel any batter, "wrack" is spelled correctly, its just a different meaning lol

Nice. I still prefer About Face because I use character art tokens and the directional indicators for things like sneak attack etc. But This one is good if you only use the top down tokens.

That portrait of Strahd looks like Mads Mikkelsen lol

I've been using this for a while now. Great little mod but something to be aware of is if you are using the mod ridable you need to turn it off other wise the token you are riding on turns too. I found out the hard way when everyone mounted a boat and when I moved the boat it did all kinds of crazy stuff 🤣

Was about to ask for the documentation on writing those in journal checks but i see you put examples in the description and that'll be good enough for me! Thanks!

I thought v12 provided similar functionality to Monk's Tile Triggers? Maybe not all of the functionality then?

This is good news. I love this add on. If I can get Dfreds Convenient Effects and Ready Set Roll up and working again I'll be set.

seems to be working in my game ok so good to see the update are coming.

Great video as always. Still working my way from beginning but moving a bit slower since Im working on my Foundry a lot. It is now coming together very nicely. Been renaming maps all weekend to use in Mouilinette. 😅 At around 9:00 you were dragging Toblin from one folder to the next. I have quite a few folders and moving stuff between them is a big hassle. Do you know if there is an easier/quicker way? Cut and paste wont work. Maybe put the token in the game and drag it back to their new folder? Still not the most elegant solution so Im hoping there is a better one.

The creator you were talking about (who provided the sheets) is Dice & Easy, from their "These are the 10 FOUNDRY MODULES you should start with!" video! I literally just watched their video and was looking for more info on the GM Screen module and found your video, quite the coincidence lol

Where I can find the DFreds? From Install Modulo on VTT I couldn`t find it

Can you auto upload the biography?

Your image is very blurry that's all everything else is OK.

This one looks really promising, getting rid of grid might give players more freedom since I feel they tend to be stuck in the whole "action, bonus action, move x squares" and forget about being creative while playing. My only concern is how it deals with templates for spells (and opportunity attacks in case of gambit's premades), since they seem to be tied to the grid, did you test combat with spells?

Looks very useful. Does the distance from start/distance to objective work with wasd moves ? Just wondering wether monks tile riggers go off when dragging / using waypoints?

Hi Claygolem. This is a nice mod :)

Recently came across your videos and I must say they're great, really informative and detailed. I haven't upgraded to V12 yet but i'm getting more excited by the prospect! Alas, I will wait a little longer just for the Animations from CPR etc to be sorted. Please do keep doing what you're doing, really fantastic work with the explanations.

Thanks for checking this out! It looks great, I'm excited to add it to my list. I will say I dont think that error was right? The error was Red, so the Console should show a Red Error but the errors you were looking at were Yellow, which are Warnings not breaking Errors. You didn't really show the Ranged weapon part- if you mouse over your ranged attacks it shows the range for the weapons/spells!

Just beware when you are doing this kind of thing that you need to double check everything that it does because while it says it understands rulesets it really does not (it will just tell you it understands things because it is programmed to), and even for the rules it does understand it is wildly unreliable when it comes to basic arithmetic. It might not be so bad for 5e because of how dominant 5e is but it can't even reliably handle major systems like pathfinder 1/2e or Shadowrun 4/5e (personal experience). So while you might ask it for a CR X enemy it doesn't really understand CR and will just stick a bunch of high probability statements together that may end up making enemies far higher (or lower) danger than the CR they're supposed to be, as well as just spitting out abilities that don't exist some times or giving you figures that don't work out.

Such a smart use of walls and light for the bridges!

Thanks for the spotlight videos on various modules. Also wondering if you might consider a splotlight on just traps, adding them to modules and use during gameplay (including referencing DCs for detection and disarming).

I'm in a similar place as you, DM prepping a world for Foundry for the first time. I love your honest "learn as you go" attitude and I will be catching up on all your stuff!

Data paths are for other game systems where the data paths may be different.

You can use an included macro to change color based on creature type. Or also on the token level.

I wonder if it takes into account the height of the creature... Also, did you see the new measuring tools for Aedif's Tactical Grid?

I used to use DragRuler, which was great to display movement speed in combat. I recently switched to ElevationRuler because it plays better with Gambits Premade and their automation for Attack of Opportunities. Another option I'm currently investigating is Tactical Grid

Nice. I would still like a ruler for combat movement but for ranged weapons that's ace

Thanks for this! I'm definitely waiting a few more months to update. I really want some of the features of V12 but I want the game to run the same. I finally got my sweet spot with v11.

I tested the automation with the Argon HUD and physical attacks and spell attacks work well. What is not working is area of effect spells.

what module do you use to see the character-stats on the bottom?

would you happen to get a replacement for Automated Animations mod for v12? i read on github that it will not get more updates from the dev.

Hey CG. Have you heard anything from the creators of Chris' Premades or Monk's modules? No area of effect spells are working for me at the moment on V12, unfortunately.

Great video as usual. However have you tried to create a battlemap with ChatGPT, I am struggling, it keeps creating a scene rather than a top down 2D image of, well, a battlemap. I have tried DungeonDraft but it is so labour intensive. :-/

Hi ClayGolem. Thanks for the DM´s Guide to AI Fundamentals with old fashioned RolePlaying Games. I do like that you point out the fun in AI Fundamentals. Your vids are inspiring to new future technologies and beyond. You are a river to your people. / Laurence of Arabia, A.Quinn

I try to be really careful with how I use ChatGPT for FVTT stuff- especially for macros- but it can do some basic stuff surprisingly well. I think what i really like is taking a macro ive already made- and getting it to reformat some text to work in it so I dont have to modify a bunch of text by hand to fit it all into the macro a particular way. I also like throwing macros into it that i want to study, and I just ask ChatGPT to add comments to all the parts explaining what each thing is doing. And it just adds comments in to say "This is telling it which token is the target, this is saying which token the effect is coming from, this is telling you the animation file, this is checking the AC of the target-" Great for helping to learn what is what.

"Jehova starts with an I..."

Next step is to export the json and train ChatGPT to create so you can import the character statted up completed

I cannot find Chris's Premades on the module installation. Am I missing something? lol

Hi CG. Can you install both v11 and v12 on the same machine? So you can launch what you need?

Thank goodness!! 5e Statblock importer was updated! makes things a lot easier. Using ChatGPT 4o to convert stats has been great for me. I used it to convert old Dungeon Magazine adventure stats and traps to 5e. I am going to use it in my campaign to update Palace of the Silver Princess
