1 more issue I am having, so Wednesday I decided to lock my players tokens and I would accept their movement however I see their requested movement but I no longer have the accept movement icon...did some searching but didn't see anything on this issue...

That option was removed to make way for another button if I remember correctly and because you can use the middle mouse button anyway.

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

It's a token scaling issue. Try releasing token scale (right-click on any token on the middle map layer - you may need to add a token just to do that). You may then need to delete all tokens from that layer (again, via the right-click menu) - then try increasing HP above 0 and then reducing down to 0 to see what the size of the "!" icon is now.

Help Out

I've spent countless working on this extension often late into the night to update and add to it since December of 2018.

If you enjoy the extension and would like to show your appreciation or support future development of it. There's a couple of things you could do.

It would help me a lot if you "starred" the GitHub projects by clicking the star at the top right of the GitHub pages.

I've also been given an explicit exception by SmiteWorks to accept donations and contributions for my work on this extensions, as long as it always remains free to Fantasy Grounds users here through the forums.
Here is a direct PayPal link that you can use to send me any contributions you feel happy to send my way.

I updated to the latest version, then did what you said, seems to work, a little finicky but workable. I play again on wednesday so if I still have issues I will post about it afterwards but I think all will be well again. It seemed as though the scales were different on each layer. I'm somewhat new to the layers thing so...yeah, at least I learn fast...lol

Great work, as always! Just one question from me:

- Menu setting to enable using automated flanking rules (advantage on attack if conscious ally opposite of target). Currently only for medium sized actors and targets.

Could you also provide options to use +2 or +5 instead of advantage? While the variant rule in the DMG only calls for advantage, I find that to be a bit too strong a reward, and instead use +2 in my games. Having flanks automated would be a great help, but I'm a bit wary of using this feature if it's going to be throwing advantage around.

Ok, so at first I thought I was having a seizure or I was doing something really wrong ... turns out, I wasn't.

Your link to the new Token Helper extension goes to the GitHub for the Combat Enhancer extension, lol

Of course, you pasted the raw text link, so I could copy/paste and get it, but you might want to fix that!

Love your extension BTW, and all of my players do to. Keep up the great work.

EDIT: Also, just a suggestion for future updates -- I love that overlay that gets put on a dying PC, but once they are dying, their token is no longer targetable. I'm wondering if it's because their token gets put on the middle or background layer, if we had an option to not do that for PC's, that would be cool. Also, if you're taking votes, the above suggestion for a +2/+5 flanking option would be amazing.

Thanks for this awesome extension, you deserve my humble donation and i hope a lot of us will tip you for that gem.
Note that it doesn't work with the "Dev" release (has expected i think), i haven't tried the "Test" release.
