5E - AoE Spells Auto-Targeting & Upcast (FREE BETA)

Hi,

a little feature request: I would love it if all spells, including cantrips, used the same pop out. I know you can't actually up-cast cantrips but I'd rather have the consistency that 'all' spells use the same interface, even if a lot of the functionality is greyed out and not usable, if that makes sense?

Cheers,

Simon

Thank you both for the feedback, and I am very sorry to hear that the extension is causing long load times and freezes on the startup screen! I will look into this issue to figure out what is causing that.

also... is there any chance in the future to use spell graphics that fill the targeting circle/line etc. I presently use Bratch9's Spell Tokens extension ( https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/149/view ) and to combine that functionality with your extension would be amazing.

Cheers, and thanks for all your hard work,

Simon

Yes, that makes sense for the sake of consistency! I will look into that and let you know.

Aside from that, how did the rest of the automation feel? Was your table comfortable using it, or did you have any other observations during play?

Thank you, Simon! I will look into this as well to see if it's feasible down the road.

But for now, my main focus is completely on finalizing the core extension and squashing any bugs or problems during the beta phase, but compatibility with great extensions like Spell Tokens is definitely something I can explore in the future!

I would second that request.

Unlike Ludd_G, I am on Windows 11 (should that make any difference, but I doubt it).
After reading that he eventually manages to boot into the session, I tried waiting for longer than I did in my previous tests and it does indeed seem the case that it's not actually frozen but just very, very slow at starting. I had to wait almost 10 minutes before an empty campaign booted, but eventually it did.

On Linux Fedora here and I too am experiencing very long load times.

In addition to using "alt" to cast for free, maybe have an option for ritual casting. It is free as well but increases the casting time by 10mins.

That's one of those things I don't think needs "automating": it doesn't happen in combat, so you just need the DM to tell you "after 10 minutes of ritual, you cast the spell. Click alt and the spell you need". Done, wham bam thank you ma'am.
