Auto letter-tokens

[spite]

I understand that if a monster doesn't have a token in the 5th edition ruleset one is auto assigned to it in the combat tracker.
This doesn't appear to be the case in 4e. Is this an oversight? A specific omission from the ruleset? Or simply that 4e doesn't get the same update time as 5e?

No matter what, where is the best place to ask for this to be added to 4e?

TIA

Its a CoreRPG feature.... it *should* work.

EDIT: I just tested CoreRPG and 4e and it works in both....

I wonder if its an issue with 4e in 3.2 then? It's not working for me using 3.2.0

Ok I've just reset back to 3.1.7 to test, and it still not working for me.
I drag a monster on to the combat tracker, and get the following https://puu.sh/qMF7I/883d037864.jpg
Is there something I am missing? It works fine in 5e

what extensions are you running? Have you got any unpacked 4e (or CoreRPG) rulesets in your /rulesets folder?

That is my rulesets folder

In your FG \modules directory, check that you have a file called "lettertokens.mod" and that it is about 281KB in size. It is this token module that contains the letter tokens used to add to the NPCs.

This is driving me nuts. I definitely have that file https://puu.sh/qOnNJ/b059116f1f.png
But I just cannot get this to work. I'm using the parser-made output folder, and no matter which monster I drag into the combat tracker nothing is getting put into the token slot. Going to do a complete reinstall and try that.


Edit: Ok ok I just figured out, that if I make an NPC manually in FG and drag that on, it gives the token correctly. But dragging from that module does not. This is the creature I made, and it dragged in ok https://puu.sh/qOojP/1ea935af96.jpg
However, if I drag from that module, or even drag from module into the NPC list first they still wont apply a letter token https://puu.sh/qOopP/f8ff1f9923.jpg


Wat

[Trenloe]

Sounds like the <token> DB entry in the module for the NPC isn't blank. FG will only add a token to a critter when <token> in the NPC DB entry isn't there or is blank. Check the module DB and see what it contains - sounds like each NPC entry has a non-blank <token> entry that appears to be not a valid token (as you're not seeing a token).

<token type="token">tokens/4E Dungeon Master's Guide/white dragon wyrmling.png@4E Dungeon Master's Guide</token>

Does that mean that it's looking for that png, but coming up blank because it isn't there? Can I just delete this entire line and it'll work?

Yep, it's looking to get the token from a module called "4E Dungeon Master's Guide". Delete the whole <token> ... </token> line and then the letter token substitution should work.

Ok I did a find and replace on all those lines in the modules (5300 lines later...) it works!
Thanks for helping me out there everybody who contributed to figuring this out >.<

Ok so the find and replace all breaks something, doing it one by one they work and drag in ok. But if I do all lines it doesn't show up in my options anymore. Cant find anything that should be doing this. 5000 lines one by one is gonna suck. :(
