Stream Deck With FGU!

[Swissman65]

Hello!

I recently got my hands on an Elgato Stream Deck and got to work to create a way to use it with FGU hotkeys!

So I re-created the menus with quick access to some features (modifiers/next actor/afk switch etc) (5e ruleset)

Main menu:


(example) Tools folder:


How does it work?
Pressing the buttons activates a certain hotkey (for example: ALT+CTRL+F1)
If something is stored in that hotkey it will trigger it.

The cool thing is you can export hotkeys! (found in campaigns/your_campaign_name/usersettings/hotkeys_host.xml)

the .zip file attached to this post contains all the hotkeys already stored.
I used most of the complex combinations (like ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+F1)
but there are still a lot of free hotkeys to use! (F1-12;CTRL+F1-12;SHIFT+F1-12;ALT+F5-12;CTRL+SHIFT+F1-12)

How to make it work:

1. Download the .streamDeckProfile file below
2. Go to your streamDeck app>preferences>profiles>(down arrow on bottom left)>import and import the profile
3. Download the hotkeys_host.xml file below
4. Drop it/paste it in any FGU campaign under campaigns/your_campaign_name/usersettings/hotkeys_host.xml (THIS WILL OVERRIDE YOUR CURRENT HOTKEYS)

How to make it work as a PLAYER

1. Drop the hotkeys_host.xml in any joined FGU campaign under cache/campaign_name/usersettings
2. Delete the hotkeys.xml file (it goes without saying that it will delete any current hotkeys)
3. Rename your hotkeys_host.xml file as hotkeys.xml

Have fun!

Thanks for posting this. The "hotkeys_host.xml" information is helpful!

For others looking at Stream Deck and Fantasy Grounds settings, I will point out that this requires the SuperMacro Plugin by BarRaider (which requires Microsoft Windows).

I also found that the SuperMacro buttons in the profile didn’t have icons, but that may be due to missing SuperMacro on my Mac.

indeed!
sadly I don't have a Mac to know how this would work on other OS...

I found the icons in the core RPG ruleset file (under graphics->sidebar. most of them should be there I believe) if you wish to replace them
