Damned, this is really cool! It's text only (doesn't reproduce links), but it's still very useful!

yes it is text only. mostly its for when you want to use something and there might be discussion/debate about its usage. click to share and everyone can read it unlike when you drag the link into chat.

[Stv]

Very handy,
Nice job :)

Cheers, Steve.

Unfortunately when I have this extension enabled, it won't roll properly. The 3d dice rolls, but no results are shown in the chat window. Saving throws, skill checks, etc.

I tested with no other extensions enabled and the same thing happens.

I haven't updated FG in a while for fear of breaking another extension, so maybe that's it. Just thought I'd share.

It works now. TY for updating.

[damned]

teeny weeny error!
thanks for reporting.
uploadng new version right now.

Hello, Damned.
Have been using your extensions for the longest time, but i recently migrated into implementing my own system into core rpg.
It is possible to port this specific extension to core rpg? I tried everything, but my limited XML knowledge didn't let me proceed haha.

Thanks in advance, even if it's undoable.

[damned]

It is possible Bretwulf but there arent really and data types in CoreRPG. There is Abilities - but I cant think of anything else?
I am going to build this into MoreCore soon but that has far more data types...

[Bretwulf]

What about 3.5 based systems? Like PF, for instance...
I tried to muzzle around a bit, trying to change the record_[THING] to match the 3.5e ruleset, but haven't got any luck until now. I guess it's about me not changing the window classes in the campaign folder inside the extension, but i don't know what should i exchange in this part.

PS: I'm modifying your extension just for personal use, don't hunt me down please HAHA

[damned]

Its not possible to build a CoreRPG variant that will work with all rulesets as rulesets vary significantly in what data types they use and what fields they use in those too.

For example in Items I do the following:



<script>
function action(draginfo)
local nodeWin = window.getDatabaseNode();

local sName1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "name", 0);
local sText1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "description", 0);
local sType1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "type", 0);
local sCost1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "cost", 0);
local sWeight1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "weight", 0);
local sAC1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "ac", 0);
local sDamage1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "damage", 0);
local sProperties1 = DB.getText(nodeWin, "properties", 0);

if sType1 == "Weapon" then
local sMessage = "**" .. sType1 .. ": " .. sName1 .. "\n\nCost: " .. sCost1 .. "\nWeight: " .. sWeight1 .. "\n\nDamage: " .. sDamage1 .. "\nProperties: " .. sProperties1 .. "\n\nDescription: " .. sText1 .. "\n\n";
msg = {font = "narratorfont", mode = "damned"};
msg.text = sMessage;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(msg);
elseif sType1 == "Armor" then
local sMessage = "**" .. sType1 .. ": " .. sName1 .. "\n\nCost: " .. sCost1 .. "\nWeight: " .. sWeight1 .. "\n\nAC Base: " .. sAC1 .. "\n\nDescription: " .. sText1 .. "\n\n";
msg = {font = "narratorfont", mode = "damned"};
msg.text = sMessage;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(msg);
else
local sMessage = "**" .. sType1 .. ": " .. sName1 .. "\n\nCost: " .. sCost1 .. "\nWeight: " .. sWeight1 .. "\n\nDescription: " .. sText1 .. "\n\n";
msg = {font = "narratorfont", mode = "damned"};
msg.text = sMessage;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(msg);
end


return true;
end

function onDragStart(button, x, y, draginfo)
return action(draginfo);
end

function onClickRelease(x, y)
return action();
end
</script>


So I collect its Name, Desc, Type, Cost, Weight, AC, Damage and Properties, and then it displays different info its a weapon or of its armour.
It pretty much has to be built for each ruleset...

[Bretwulf]

Gotcha.
Guess i will have to modify it so much that i might actually break the extension.
Anyway, thank you very much for the advice!

And keep up with the good work, i absolutely love your extensions!

Hey Damned, This is a great extension I just started using recently. I have been using it with SirMotte's themes (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?58034-Theme-5E-SirMottes-Magnificent-Darkness), and because of the changes he made to text, when the content was shared to the chat window it was illegible. I just hacked together a dark frame version of your theme for my own use, and thought I'd share it back to you here. Feel free to adopt, modify, redistribute, etc for the users of your theme.

Thanks for your hard work on the theme, I really like it!.

[SirMotte]

Will definitely add support as soon as I get to Update the Theme again at some point in April!
Also: Very neat extension! Thanks damned.

[charmov]

Can't wait to share this with my players! Thanks!
@lavoiejh respect for the hack

[charmov]

There is a minor issue regarding this extension and the Player Agency Extension. When loaded together on the FGU 5e ruleset, world builder entries overlap with the share toggle circle. This won't affect my use of either extension. 44030

[damned]

Can you repost your image?

[charmov]

sure thing44046

[Milmoor]

Thanks for this great extension. This shortcuts some discussion: what does that spell say exactly?

[spoonhead]

I don't suppose there is a PF2 version of this somewhere?

[damned]

Not yet.

[Drogo210]

Nice Extension, especially for DMs like me that forget any spell effects...ihihihi. I am wondering if you can add to class features. For example I cannot share Rage of barbarian and similar. Thanks

[Ecks]

FYI, I've been seeing a (probably benign) warning when using this extension whenever opening a window with the chat icon, e.g.:

[WARNING] buttoncontrol: Could not find pressed icon (down) in control (button_chat_pcdesc) in class (ability_header)

[mattekure]

Will this be published to the Forge?

[damned]

I have some updates for this and Player Agency that should get done in early February and then they will move to the Forge.

Oh yessss well done as always @damned

I have UI scale 80. And the Sharing icon seems to blend a little to much into other icons. Is it just me. ?

[damned]

It is always less than perfect on the Wizards theme.

[Ecks]

FYI, with the latest version from the Forge (1.1 20220312), I see a warning printed to the console whenever a window with the sharing icon is opened:

[WARNING] buttoncontrol: Could not find pressed icon (down) in control (button_chat_pcdesc) in class (item_header)
It doesn't seem to cause any issue, but it does fill the log with warnings.

The version attached to the first post in this thread is older (0.9 20200531) and has the same issue. Looking at it, it looks like the following change would resolve the warning:


--- a/campaign/template_chat_spells.xml
+++ b/campaign/template_chat_spells.xml
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@
<template name="button_chat_icon">

Hi @damned Just updated Diablo’s portals revamped from forge. And this extn is causing the Lights toggle option to just not show. Weird but true.

Thought I would let you know as maybe diablo has not opened/defined the window correctly to work with your extension running. The window like many others doesn’t have your little bubble icon so it’s just weird.

[damned]

I dont have that extension. Ive just had a look over my code and dont see anything glaringly obvious.

I add the chat buttons to:
Abilities
Backgrounds
Classes
Feats
Items
Powers
Races
Skills

[spencerg]

Hi @damned! once again a really great extension! My only request - could you make it compatible with D&D classic (AD&D 2e) ruleset? I'm not looking for everything if that's too much, just the Core rpg stuff. That would be amazing. I play 2e now and I miss this extension so much.
Id say items, skills, classes, kits, spells - similar to 5e.

[damned]

Ive uploaded a build for 2E. Please share with me what I have missed.

[anstett]

Thank you! Will be testing this over the next couple of sessions and report back.

[spencerg]

Thank you so much! - I will send you a msg with a report.

[spencerg]

disregard** didn't realize you made a new extension :)

[spencerg]

Support for sending #Notes to chat would be amazing - lots of players keep them in my game, and them being able to broadcast to chat would be really helpful to everyone.

[Zacchaeus]

Players can already do that no? Just tick the public box and everyone can access it from notes. Players can also drag and drop the link to chat.

[spencerg]

They can share/make public yes -

broadcast to chat - no

What I mean is treat notes like this extensions treats every other record, i.e. skills, classes - and just send the information (public) to the chat window :))

In any event, the 2e version of this extension covers all the most helpful data points, I'd say character notes is very low priority considering NOBODY uses them 9/10.

I just always thought it would be neat to send them to the log - as well as images (But i know ladder is not possible).

Thank you for this @damned - this is really great.

PS. Anyone looking for the 2e support, know its a separate extension (2e Sharing is Caring) - I first assumed that because it was this thread, that it was the same extension just extended with a switch statement or something to support other rulesets.

[MaxAstro]

Ive uploaded a build for 2E. Please share with me what I have missed.

In dark theme the notes share with white text on a light background, making them basically illegible.

Other then that I love this extension! And I would agree that adding the ability to share Notes would be nice.

What ruleset please?

[MaxAstro]

What ruleset please?

Sorry! PF2e.

[Xerophilex]

I really want to use this extension but the button placement looks very ugly using the official 5e theme. It's overlapping with the link button. Could this be fixed?

[damned]

It cant be made to work nicely with every theme.

[damned]

This now works with the Dark theme however I am unable to fix the positioning for the Wizards Official Theme without creating a whole new build specific just to that theme which I am not keen on doing sorry.

BUG: Incompatible with DM Tools & Critically Awesome Essentials by DiabloBob & Rob Twohy.
Critically Awesome Essentials allows the DM and players to add a token to spells and drag them to the combat map. This is setup under Actions in the character sheet. To specify the size of the token used by the spell you can modify the token in a Spell Token window.

Sharing is Caring extension enabled, the DM and players can no long access the Spell Token window (by clicking the gear icon) which is required to set the token size. Instead, the Target feature is toggled.

[Dudin]

For 5E, has the functionality of this extension been implemented into base programs? I believe it has been, but wanted to confirm if there is a reason I should keep using damned's version if SW incorporated it already.

[damned]

I think you can stop using Sharing is Caring in 5E now.
I havent had time to test myself but Im pretty sure that is the case.

[Farnaby]

I can't see the extension anymore in my PF2 campaign.
Thanks to the remaster project there are now 2 ruleset names PFRPG2 and PFRPG2-Legacy.
Can you please add the new name?

Thanks

Done.

[spencerg]

Would it be possible to fix sharing is caring for 2e (DnD classic). Recent updates nuked it. It’s one of my favorites.

[Moon Wizard]

This could be added directly to 2E, like was done in 5E. Look at "chat_output" button menu addition; and the RecordShareManager global script.

[spencerg]

I was just going to ask - i didn’t want to step on toes but it is in 5e core already…

I’ll get on that -
