Development Update for October
🕑 Added 2021-10-02 08:53:05 +0000 UTCGreetings Adventurers!
TL;DR
An exciting month, a new adventure released and some new functionality.
What have I been up to?
DDB Importer
* Artificer Infusions now import as effects and actions where possible. This is the first step towards better infusion support. It was released to Undying and God Tier this month, and by the time you read this should be available to everyone.
* Encounter Muncher is now available to all Patreon Supporters.
* Update back to D&D Beyond: started working on some quality of life updates - DDB Importer will now try to check the item compendium to try and match items, and will now sync back name changes for most items.
* Compendium Folders: Items now support Rarity as a folder structure option.
* Character: Skill ability over-ride effects were not generated correctly.
* HP and HitDie are now toggleable on the import screen.
* Some groundwork for the next version of the D&D 5e system (1.5).
* A couple dozen of other improvements and bug fixes.
Tokenizer
* Fixes for using S3 storage in certain circumstances.
* Copy from Token to Avatar available.
* A couple of minor bug fixes.
DDB Adventure Muncher
* Support for The Wild Beyond the Witchlight delivered within a handful of hours.
* Improvements submitted for HotDQ and IDRotF.
* Support some adventure updates by DDB.
* A log file is now generated during every run to ease debugging problems. Access it through the Help menu.
What went wrong?
* Lets Encrypt changed their root certificate this month, and it impacted Electron apps - both Foundry and Adventure Muncher were affected by this, but a workaround is currently in place.
* My partner got COVID, and although they have recovered, it did impact productivity somewhat!
What's coming this month?
I'm currently working on improving updates back to DDB, and looking at updates that are pushed to DDB when the actor changes (i.e. straight away). This requires a few background changes to the proxy infrastructure and an extensive rewrite to the update code. I hope to be able to push out the alpha to God Tier later this month.
The key posts have been updated with the new keys for September.
Thanks

So if you use the DDB Encounter builder you can quickly import the monsters (and optionally characters) in an encounter into a new scene - there are an set of optional backgrounds to pick from.

how does the encounter muncher work ? love your stuff so much.
MrPrimate
Me too! This is somewhat more difficult that it first appears, but it is on my backlog.
NullFragment
Thanks for all of your work on this plugin, and I'm glad everyone's alright! I know your backlog is probably a mile long, but one minor feature I'd like to see is nested sorting options for compendium folder migration. i.e. Sort spells by School then Level or items by Type then Rarity.

My heartfelt regards to your family. You're doing good and I hope y'all are doing well.

Oh dear. Please take all the time you need with your partner! Loved ones and friends should come before us. We'll understand :)

Hope your family is doing better now. Safety and health is the most important.
