Extension tracking for the 2026-04 update

[Vaall]

Questions:
<extension name="DW"/> Is this Death Ward?

This is one of my extension that effectively prevents the death of a player character (PC) or non-player character (NPC) when they have this effect "DW". I've already patched it but haven't put it on the test server.



Next, we'll come to what I think is the most difficult part: testing everything is possible. Then we'll have to wait for patches for the major expansions to do more testing. Many developers are already working on this or are aware of it. Where it will get complicated is with the "abandoned" expansions, where, if I understand correctly, SW will take over.

Thanks for clarification Vaall.

That would be great!

Got it. I'll setup a Init on each round On in a GM acc, and keep moving the Rounds to see what happens.
GM Discretion is my objective, so I will also check things from a Player client.

And Silent, sorry for slowness.

Here's my findings. It was kinda tricky. First of all, the Effective Init extension is working perfectly in TEST.

As long as you keep the enemies UNIDentified, they don't show in the Player Client order, so, they cant even see what creatures are next.
But the problem is, PCs also cant see the enemies themselves on the map. This seems like elemantary, but check this out:

First, the settings: https://imgur.com/AvGNOwH

1- Players can see that you dont show them the init order if they check the settings before the combat starts:
And UNID enemies wont be listed in the Chat.

Now good news: They still can't see the Player Order and the enemy init order. Once IDentified, current enemy are shown in the CHAT when it is their turn. But since the init will rescrambled, they wont be able to see the same order again.

2- When these options are on, this is what GM Client shows: 1-April 2-Arti 3-Bladesinger / Oblex -> Drow -> Lizard -> Bear

3- Meanwhile, this is what Players see: 1- April 2-Arti 3-Bladesinger / BUT / Bear -> Drow -> Oblex -> Lizard.
Dont be fooled by the player order because it is always like that. 4 explains.

4- But when the order changed again, players see the same order.

5- Compare to the updated GM Order:

NOTE: I didnt add Requested Rolls so I dont know what happens if you also use that extension and turn On leverage RR in the settings.

In my games combat groups prevents any client from seeing anything they don't own or are of the same faction and/or group, so not going to see some of things you mentioned. I was actually curious if Effective Initiative was even needed anymore in TEST. As in if you unload it from campaign, do effects still get reordered on trigger times correctly.

[Tempered7]

Both Init settings are there without the extension loaded. But I cant test it if it works as the same because cant connect to Cloud anymore. Also, Chromium pops up several tabs now.
When I tested for the scramble part, it changes the init order in GM Client every round though.

EDIT: Effects such as Bladesong [Bladesinger] / Hypnotic Pattern / Dominate Person expired in time for example.
EDIT 2: Yes, effects still get reordered on trigger times correctly.
EDIT 3: I tested with Drow Mage Levitate 100 dura / 6 Init adjust -and- Shield 1/16. Both times the effects expired on time.

I take it that means Effective Initiative is no longer required and is part of FG then? Might want to update that doc with that info. Thanks that was what I was looking for - I'll unload Effective Initiative extension in TEST also.

Np Yes, I tested with Drow Mage Levitate 100 dura / 6 Init adjust -and- Shield 1/16. Both times the effects expired on time. Chatlog is at post upstairs.
Also, my OP updated.

If Team Twohy could tell me which extensions it affects, I can check them [if they are free] too.

Next Batch Currently Being Tested

<extension name="CritFX_5E"/> Now Isolated it and it works perfectly. When combined with damage preventing Combat Effect extensions and/or Life Ledger, it throws an error.
<extension name="GoBigOrGoGnome"/> Works. SIZE: My halfling PC's token on a map was smaller. REACH: ADDREACH/REACH Effects are working manually but it didn't automate my Goliath BattleMaster's Reach despite an equipped Galive. SPACE: ADD/SPACE is working manually, also Huge+ creatures' tokens are bigger in map with or without the extension. I don't know if this one is implemented or not.
<extension name="illahad-ReactionsPrompt"/> ON HOLD.
<extension name="LegendaryAssistant"/> The window and manual ticking works but there's no close [X] button. Can't remember If there was automation [auto-tick], but there was none on Tarrasque/Beholder's Legendary Actions.
<extension name="Pets"/> UPDATE: Works [Both + button and drag & drop]. Still cant do Petception [Give PC a pet, give the PC to the pet as pet... But you can give the pet another pet. No errors.]
<extension name="Weather Generator"/> Works perfectly, better than crappy DMG weather table. It is accessed from Party Sheet > Weather tab.

EDIT: All notes are added. Code List in My OP updated accordingly.

[TheoGeek]

I just posted an update to Theogeek's Improved Critical to the test channel. I disabled everything but 5e for now. Test away.

The version should show up in the chat as "9.TEST_CHANNEL"
