Complete Offensive Package

[mattekure]

The Complete Offensive Package is made of of several extensions with the intent to make running combat simpler for GMs and Players by giving a visual indicator of the range for weapon attacks, spells, powers, npc abilities, and Auras..

There are currently 4 extension in the COP.

PC Weapon Threat Range {formerly COP - Weapon Threat (5E)}https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/249/view
PC Power Threat Range {formerly COP - Spell Threat (5E)} https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/496/view
NPC Power Threat Range {formerly COP - NPC Threat Fields (5E)} https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/488/view
Auras Visualized (All CoreRPG) https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/620/view (formerly COP - Auras)

Details of each will be in posts below.

The original COP extension were created by user MyGivinOpinion (aka Lord Taser). At his request, I have taken over development and support of all of these extensions. Much thanks to him for everything.

Auras Visualized [formerly COP - Auras] (All CoreRPG) https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/620/view

This extension should work with any CoreRPG derived ruleset.

This extension displays a visual indicator of the range of an Aura around a PC/NPC token on the map. The Aura is added using the "AURA: XX" effect to the entry in the combat tracker.

Full instructions here: https://bookstack.mattekure.com/books/auras-visualized

Aura color can be defined using the colorname or AARRGGBB syntax. The default color is black. You can define the effect like this:

AURA: 10 blue
or
AURA: 10 88FF8800

Aura shape: The default aura shape is a circle. The Aura can be converted to a square by adding the tag "cube" to the aura effect. Circle auras are drawn using the Aura size as the radius. Cube auras are drawn using the Aura size as the length of a side.

AURA: 15 cube

Color and size can be combined in any order such as:

AURA: 15 red;
AURA: 15 cube, green;
AURA: 15 blue,cube;

Point auras are also now supported per the AURA effect extension.  Point auras are drawn from the center point of a tokens space rather than from the edge.
AURA: 15 point

Aura Customizer
I have created a way for users to add their own custom aura images into Auras Visualized using a second extension titled Aura Customizer. This extension is free and totally optional.
Full details here: https://bookstack.mattekure.com/book...ura-customizer
NOTE: This extension is not being distributed via the forge as it is intended for users to make edits once downloaded. Forge auto-updates could potentially overwrite any changes that users make, therefore it is being offered as a standalone download.

Much thanks to him for everything.

All the thanks should go to you. You helped me through most of the iterations of updates and provided a great deal of knowledge that helped me make them better as time went on. Thank you for all you've done to help me!

Looks very cool, while I can't currently justify buying them atm I will keep it bookmarked for the future.

I can see the aura one in my near future at the very least

Is there any chance of this being able to use an image instead of just the colored ring? If this could show a semi-transparent image like the spell token for Spirit Guardians, it would be fantastic!

while is it certainly possible to use another image than the plain circles, there are some issues with them.

1. Due to how FG handles the bitmap images, any image used must be packaged with the extension. It cannot use images or tokens in FG.
2. Since the images must be included/distributed with the extension, someone would have to supply some images and grant copyright to include them for distribution. I am not an artist and cannot make anything. Nor can I include the amazing images out on DMsGuild or the internet.
3. The aura image is actually drawn on TOP of the token. There is no way to draw it underneath. Having a simple circle kind of hides that fact as it never touches the token itself. But if using another transparent image, you would have to ensure that the center is fully transparent or the token will be hidden. It will also draw it on top of any other tokens until they are selected. There is no way to force it to draw beneath other tokens.

For those reasons I have not made an attempt to use other cool images for auras.

Right on. Thanks for the explanation!
