5e Combat Enhancer (built on retired GPL Advanced Kombat extension)

@scarymike
Never tried module conditions, tend to add my own if needed, so it's not come up. The condition pop-up windows is part of the AK extension code, haven't looked at that part to make changes to it as it's worked fine so far for my purposes.

I can imagine some work and potential issues with getting that to work consistently over all modules. But don't have any modules containing conditions to test properly. I would suggest using the standard interface if you need conditions outside of the standard 5e ones, or some specific campaign ones you've added yourself.

--

As for blood splatters, that shouldn't be happening, it should appear as in the screenshot on the first page with the blood splatter in most cases not much beyond the square, unless you're using higher scaling in the menu settings.

It seems to me there are some scaling issues there, I would suggest trying different maps with different dots per inch and trying different scaling of the hexes. I tend to use 50x50.

Also make sure your token are on the top layer and scaling is locked to 80% or 100%.


@HuseyinCinar
The latest updates to the alt text and it activating properly for all medium and smaller tokens won't be rolled out until in v1.5, whenever that is ready.
Currently there is still an issue with larger tokens, whether that can be fixed I don't know yet.

So while you can add height markers, for now you'll have to wing your calculated distances for larger targets.
Maybe add approximately 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3 of the height difference to the distance on a horizontal plane for the final range, depending on how far away the targets are on a horizontal plane. Not perfect, but gets you in the range of the hypotenuse of the Pythagoras theory.

Hello again folks,

I have a question - can't seem to figure if the functionality is still there or not: When my players are in a dungeon outside of combat, they move and describe what they're doing in initiative order, and I lock down their tokens for approval. Without the 5e enhancements installed, I could right click on their tokens and approve the move they made, and off the token would go. That functionality seems to have been replaced with the effects pop-up window while using this extension - unless it was moved somewhere else?

So, I guess my question is - was that functionality removed or reassigned somewhere? I can lock it down and move the tokens individually, but it was pretty easy to just right click and approve the move.

Thanks

You can middle-click aka scroll-click on the token to approve the move as well

Gorgeous. Thank you!

In the original Advanced Kombat, Ken described he how he needed more room on the radial popup. Something had to go in order for him to add something he had to use. Therefore, he got rid of the approve, since it was a duplicate to "middle mouse".
Obviously, you had your answer already, but I figured I'd toss in the backdrop to why it was that way.

I can not mark the first layer of the Grid Toolbar. Therefore I can not enable mask mode. Someone help? ty https://imgur.com/a/oGCutIF

Thanks, that's actually pretty interesting. I've just been using the radial menu, so never looked for a keystroke or mouse click to carry out the move. And, truth be told, the scroll-click is even easier.

Whenever interacting with NPCs, Effects or the Combat tracker I receive the following errors. Any ideas on how to clear these?

EDIT:

This was actually caused by a error in a different extention.

Apologies.

There is a strange bug with the bloodsplatters on death where it becomes massively large, saw it tonight in my own game. Much like scarymike experienced and posted above. Not seen it before tonight.

I'll look into it for v1.5.

It seems map dependent. The original issue was on the DotMM level 1 map. I reverted it to original and that seemed to have fixed the problem. Or maybe I messed with token scale (releasing and resetting, adding and removing tokens). Not sure. But it did end up working on that map at some point.

I'm making an educated guess that the large blood spatter tokens are related to the image level token scaling factor - something that the GM can't directly change, short of releasing token scaling and re-adding tokens. Which in most cases will make it better but sometimes not...

They are indeed. They are scaled ratio wise in connection to the token scaling returned via the FG API.
So might be out of our hands in the end coding wise.

Did some more testing today and found the same, that it was indeed very map dependent. Particularly if using modules where I can't set it to my regular range of about 50x50 pixels without changing the map from what it was intended to be.

hi there, I'm currently having a problem when clicking on effects while a token is selected, it always comes up with this popup error.

As noted when you asked the same question on Discord. Make sure you are running the latest version and that you have no other extensions which are interfering with this one.

Is it possible to adjust individual token sizes with ctrl+mouse scroll using this extension?:confused:

Yep. I think it is Alt+mouse scroll, though.

But it for sure is there, just try the other buttons.

Now I feel stupid... Alt+mouse scroll works just fine. Thanks!

I am unable to recreate the error. For me using either the mini-effects popup panel or the default one, works without any errors, and I can freely click on effects with selected tokens.
Doing so applies or removes the effect using the mini-effects popup window, no errors occur. Dragging and dropping effects from the mini-panel onto the tokens or CT works, regardless of tokens selected.

While I realize I am in the wrong forum for a Pathfinder question, I am not having any luck elsewhere, does anyone have any idea if someone is replicating this work for the Pathfinder rule set? As someone mentioned earlier once you get use to this extension it is very hard to live without it.

Any direction here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Obviously, that is up to Stymir to answer, but I can say with a large degree of confidence that he has not been working on this for any rulesets beyond what was already included in the original stuff left behind by Ken, as he already has real life on his plate and this is a passion project for him.

Was it working for it before by chance? I really don't know as I only run 5e stuff.

Yes, there was also a version for Pathfinder and to that he refers to, I guess :) But I do not know how well this worked because I didn't use it due to conflicts with other extensions and modules which I rather wanted to use :) But since Ken mainly played Pathfinder (when I remember correctly?) I guess that it worked well :)

In short, Ken had a PF version of this extension, and no, no one has stepped up to replace Ken's extension for PF with one like this. But, since Ken's extension was OGL, anyone is free to do so and I suspect Stymir would be more than willing to answer any questions such a person might have.

Yes, the very last release - I believe done by Ken - worked up until 3.3.7 released... ...it will be sorely missed, especially the ping feature...

GPL, not OGL - not being pedantic, there is a difference. But, as you say, with the license the code was released under anyone can pick it up and expand on it, as long as they abide by the GPL...

In my case, the issue would not be violating the GPL as much as it would be learning to code... The last time I coded anything was in basic on a band new Apple II.

As I don't play Pathfinder myself, while I hear good things about it. I have been solely working on this extension with D&D 5e in mind, as that and Savage Worlds are the two systems I run.
Thus I wouldn't be able to commit the time to do so on top of everything else, nor would I know the system well enough to be comfortable doing so.

Having said that I have seen some remnants of Pathfinder conditions, graphics and such in the original codebase. So it wouldn't surprise me if the extension worked relatively well at least at some level with Pathfinder still.
You could give it a go by opening up the extension.xml file at the root of the extensions and changing the <name>5e</name> name to whatever ruleset designator name Pathfinder has for its extensions:

[code]
<rootversion="3.0"release="1">

<properties>
<name>5e Combat Enhancer</name>
<version>1.4.2</version>


<author>Styrmir</author>
<description>5e Combat Enhancer</description>

<ruleset>
<name>5E</name>

<!--

<maxrelease>8</maxrelease>
<minrelease>7</minrelease>
-->
</ruleset>

</properties>



That aside I'll soon be uploading a new version of the 5e Combat Enhancer, v1.5.0. onto GitHub. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, time allowing from work and other things.
So anyone would be welcome to branch it off for a Pathfinder version if they'd want to, as long as I'm given credit for my part of the work within. :)

I'm currently working out the steps to solve a somewhat complicated math problem and converting it into code to work on a pixel and grid basis. Once that is done v1.5.0 should be ready for release! I have some pretty great things in store that I've been working on in my spare time over the past few weeks.

I just started having the blood splatter size problem and was rereading to see if I had missed something on how to fix it. It seems not.

So I'm sure you've noticed, but not all the blood splatter files are the same size in pixels. Is this somehow related to the problem?

I'm wondering if there's a technical reason for making token that hit 0 HP go to the second layer, or is this just to make it easier for other tokens to sit atop them? If it isn't strictly necessary, can that function be made a toggle? With my group, party members being able to cast healing spells on downed allies directly would be far more convenient than being able to walk over them.

Well, they can heal them, actually. If they toss it on the combat tracker, it will heal them and automagically put that token back onto the 3rd layer.
That help?

Of course, why didn't I think of that? My group tends to forget all the ways effects and characters can interact, I'll have to get them to remember this.

Chrisbadger,
You can still "target" a "dead" icon as long as it is in the CT like JL stated and have the PC cast heal or whatever spell:) You would Ctrl+Lclick the CT icon of the player to get healed - since the "dead" icon is on a different layer now.

Does anyone know of a way to get the functionality from the NPC - Inventory extension added into Combat Enhanced? I've tried looking at the LUA code myself as was hesitant to just copy and paste straight over, looks like theres a conflict with what Combat Enhanced does with the NPC entries with what NPC-Inventory does with the same entries.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hey all, just wanted to post some Module conflict that I found. If you use the Player Image Auto Size module it prevents the use of the layers function of this module. I really wanted to use both of them since I do in person games and the player image auto size module allows for the squares to be 1" when displayed on the TV. But I would rather use the Combat enhancer module. Anyway hope we can get these two icons to mesh together.

The Player Image size code is compatible with layers in the enhanced image extension. It wouldn't make sense to try to make that compatible with the combat enhancer extension, so the code would need to be ported into the Combat enhancer extension if Styrmir feels like it's worth spending time on...

So I updated the module...now when a player has been knocked unconscious I get a giant yellow explanation point marker above their token, i'm talking like 3 squares by 3 square triangle. How do I fix this? I can't resize it at all, tried each layer but no avail. Thanks.

Have you checked to see if it’s another module conflict?

Hey, I love this extension, wanted to know if there was anywhere i could give feedback other then in this form?
Also was wondering if there was anywhere i could donate to the work you put into it.

Anyways a feature that im not sure how much work it would be to implement if you even thought it was a good idea would be add the Current HPs extension as well.

How do we get the skull icon for death in your picture from the main page. All that's in the download file is blood and aa ping images. I'm also having the issue with the yellow ! point over my token when down to 0 hp. I have no other conflicting ext loaded.

Yes, I have disabled all other modules and the icon is still huge.Attachment 26665
