    New Extensions: Effect Wizard for v3.2.x

    This is a community extension. Work on it has ceased because of time constraints and how the 5E ruleset auto-populates spells and actions with effects.

    The new extension "Effect Wizard" is ready to be tested by those that are willing.

    This extension allows you to have a 'wizard' to go through and create effects. It currently only supports the 5E ruleset, but later will be expanded to all rulesets.

    In order to test this out or update:
    1. Drop the .ext file in your extensions folder which can be found by clicking the folder icon in the top right of the launcher screen (if it asks to overwrite say yes).
    2. When you launch a 5E campaign make sure to check the "Effect Wizard" extension in the extension list.
    3. Either navigate to the campaign effect list window, the effect section of an actor on the combat tracker, or edit an effect on the action tab of a character sheet.
    4. A new button should be located near the effect line or in the case of the campaign sheet an "Effect Wizard" button is located at the top left. Click this button to open the Effect Wizard.
    5. Once open select an effect from the left and then fill out the fields that appear at the bottom, either by typing a number, dropping dice, changing the value of a pull down menu, or entering text.
    6. Click the "Add" button to put the effect into the list on the right. Repeat the previous step and this step as many times as necessary to build your completed effect.
    7. Click the "Generate" button to close the Effect Wizard window. This will place the effect in the appropriate place.


    Please report any bugs found here so we can improve this extension and eventually release it to the masses.

    V.1.0.0 is now live!

    Change Log:
    V.1.0.0
    • descriptors are now added when the 'add' button is clicked.

    V.0.9.0
    • Fixed the Campaign Effect List Window bug which would generate a bunch of blank effects and eventually stop the Effect Wizard from creating new effects.

    V.0.8.0
    • Added commas before each parameter.
    • Added "!magic" to DMG keyword.
    • Removed "opportunity" parameter from DMG keyword.
    • Other internal bug fixes.

    Yea! Does this work for players as well as DM's? Can it be used in the manage characters UI?

    If for use by players in manage characters, do they need to load it? (and how?)

    Thanks, I'm sure my group will be playing with this and will give you feedback once we do.

    Very nice - I'm interested to see how this works.

    Is it just for 5E? The extension isn't limited to any specific ruleset.

    According to the OP,
    It currently only supports the 5E ruleset, but later will be expanded to all rulesets.

    Thanks LE.

    @lokiare1 - I'd recommend you restrict this current extension to the 5E ruleset only, otherwise you're going to get people trying it anyway and reporting back issues (maybe without telling you they're using another ruleset). Best to restrict it to what it's designed for - less hassle for everyone.

    In this case it works with other rulesets, it just doesn't have the 'effects' added to the strings file. Feel free to read up on the format for adding an 'effect' to another ruleset and then add them yourselves. It should work unless there are differences in the character sheets of other rulesets, but everywhere else there should be no problem.

    If you do add effects to other rulesets, post your changes here and I'll consider adding them to the extension. If I do use them I'll put your name or forum name in the credits.

    Yes, this works for players (on their character sheets when you create or edit an effect), it works for DMs on the Combat Tracker, the Campaign Effect Window, and character sheets when you create or edit an effect.

    I've been trying this on a test campaign (no other extensions loaded).
    Simply clicking around the options causes blank effects to add to the effect window https://puu.sh/sDyPj/37fb46430c.png

    I can't drag any damage die into the Damage (Ongoing) section.
    I can't click on any option in any of the drop down boxes, such as damage type, or anything, mainly occurs with the "if statement" selection, but has occured with a few others.

    Also, resizing the window exacerbates all of these issues.

    Indeed. It seems that there are now 4 descriptor boxes which I'm pretty sure weren't there before.


    As spite says accessing the Effects Wizard from the Effects tab seems to be the cause of some problems; like not being able to drop dice or select options from the drop down. Similar problems don't appear when accessing it from elsewhere.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php
