bummer. oh, well - thx for answering... all the best.

looks like SA and the new Vehicle update do not like each other. Just tested turning off all extensions and narrowed it down to this one.

This was a proof of concept project (mentioned in post 1) but unfortunately due to how FGU manages some data it turned out to not be viable (can't pre-load everything on the map without killing the system). If/when they alter how the CT/effects are managed I'll revisit it but for now it's just a thing to wish for. The tldr; need to be able to have npcs on the map but not in the CT. While I did "hide" them they were still there so certain systems in FG still processed them which caused the resource/latency issue previously mentioned.

Ok so for now. You recommend do not use. ?

Hopefully Smiteworks will cater for your extn in their logic and or implement it directly.

I saw performance issues myself but the ability to preconfigure ambushes and similar was fantastically useful.

Maybe Smiteworks could make a new token class that is in effect an encounter to add into the CT but when on the map interacts with vision

If/when they add API calls to know if a token can see a token via LOS I will consider having options to auto "add" (but not remove) npcs from the CT in or other visibility behavior in FGU. Right now, it's entirely up to the DM to manually resolve.

If someone wants to take on the project the git repo is current version and linked in the first post.

Well, it was lovely while it lasted. :cry:

Combat Groups is out there that has similar functionality, and it does indeed work...at least for now. :ninja:

I don't know that this extension is still actively maintained. Combat Groups is and is fully functional though. https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/154/view. I'm pretty sure it's on sale right now too.

In the first post I explain this project was discontinued.

"This is a proof of concept extension. I do not actively work on it at this time due to limits within the FGU environment.".
