[extension] Spell Tokens Extension

[bratch9]

Hi there,
I have a question in regard to the B9 spell extension and I don't know if it has been posted before. I have 2 clerics with two different gods playing in the same FGU/5e campaign and we are using B9 (7.7). How can I give each cleric his own spiritual weapon? Even when I change the token of the weapon (I have a lot of different spiritual weapon in the assets) it seems B9 is only activating the last weapon changed, even when it shows different ones on the two character sheets. Any solution? Or am I doing something wrong?

version 7.14 has been released, I'd suggest updating... Not that this will solve the issue for you. As other person said, create multiple versions of the spell in the configuration window, and have the player rename the spiritual weapon as required.

Is you take a look in the B9_SpiritualWeapons.xml file at start of thread, you will see them been called 'Spiritual Weapon (Baton)' for 'baton_spiritual_weapon.png@Spiritual_Weapons_by_J oe_Slucher' which has a set of spiritual weapon tokens ( linked at start or thread. )

Not sure if you are using this pack or a different one or your own etc..

Hello,

I just started a new D&D 5e campaign file and I am seeing the following error:
[5/22/2023 12:21:11 PM] MEASURE: RULESETS LOAD - 8.5529823 - 5E
[5/22/2023 12:21:13 PM] [ERROR] template: Unrecognized merge attribute (replace) for template (image_record_step), skipped. [2797083-B9_SpellTokens] [scripts/template_B9ST.xml]
[5/22/2023 12:21:13 PM] MEASURE: EXTENSIONS LOAD - 1.6848222 - 20

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Craigbert

Can you confirm you are using the latest spell tokens extension ?

The 'replace' term in that template was removed 8 months ago, in version 7.0. The current release version is 7.14.

This might solve your issue.

Hi Bratch9,
I updated and did as Camberme (GM) said on discord. Thanks to you both it works now!

I do appear to have an older version.
What is the best method for updating?

[craigbert]

I played around with trying to refresh the extension and now it shows up twice in my extension list.
On the plus side when I pick the bottom one it is the correct version and solves my problem. The top one is the older version.
If it shows up in my list that means that the extension file exists twice in my directory, right?
Any idea what the file names are? I can find one easily as it is 2797083-B9_SpellTokens.ext.
Is there another one?

Sounds like you have the 'forge' version, which is in the 'vault' folder...

And probably the old one is '2797083-B9_SpellTokens.ext' in the extension folder.

if you look in the campaigns folder for you campaign name, you can check 'extensionstate.xml' as this lists the extensions.

You will see a line like if you are using the forge version,

<extension name="B9_SpellTokens" />

You will see a line like if you are using the DmsGuild version,

<extension name="2797083-B9_SpellTokens.ext" />

If you have both, keep the forge version as it will update with the FG updater.

Hi again, a new question to B9 arised. The extension is up to date. No problems in the moment. But because of my difficulties with it (all solved now) I checked my other campaigns where I use it and there I found a strange thing. In the first campaign when I use the map suffix configuration, I find a list of spells. When I hit the map suffix button in the other campaigns, the map suffix configuration list opens the menu with only 1 line: "m__1,5. Shouldn't it show the same menu as in the first camapign?

I would expect it to look like,

You probably have some old data in that campaign. Normally the best way is to just delete the

<spellsuffix> -> </spellsuffix>

section in the db.xml. Or you can just delete them with the 'edit' box in the suffix configuration window etc.

If you are happy with the spell tokens configurations window, then just either of the above should sort your campaign.

But if you want to fully tidy up, and you dont have any custom spell token configurations. ( ie you only use one of the import configurations from the top of this thread ) The I'd also suggest deleting the

<spelltokens> -> </spelltokens>

section in the db.xml as well.

Its not always possible to upgrade or keep the same formats of data over updated versions, I try and keep it consistent. But maybe your campaign is just suffering from old version data confusing the new version of the extension.

If you are happy with your spell configuration window values, and only have an issue with the suffix window values then feel free to just 'edit' button and 'delete' each line in the suffix window. ( It should clean things up. )

Thanks for your quick response. I just found the difference between the campaigns. I hadn't imported the xml files in those campaigns. All fine now and thanks for this extension!

[craigbert]

Hi Pete, that was exactly my issue. Thanks!

One quick follow up: does it matter where the Spell Token XML file lives?

Sincerely,

Craigbert
