Can anyone help me or should I just stick to pencil and paper?

My skills at DSTs are non-existent. And since Shadows first came about years ago, i've been using my highly customized through HTML Sheet (can be seen HERE) and honestly, its a PITA to edit, which usually results in them not being updated, as I'm the one who ends up doing it and time gets less and less.

So, anyone who knows HTML willing and able to take whats there and make it into a DST for me? I will happily give you the HTML Code for both Sections. And maybe a Sooby Snack or two? :)

Thanks

There are no DSTs created for Wiki Pages or Items yet, but if you want to dive in and start creating them and using them, comment here and let me know, and I'll add you to the beta feature.

If a DST field has the class "dsfu" (aka "dsf updatable") ... as well as the normal "dsf" class and the "dsf_[fieldname]" class ... then when the Character/Item/WikiPage is saved, and being displayed in the "show" view, these "dsfu" fields can be clicked on and changed right there.

This could be used for fields that get updated a lot like Hit Points or Conditions or Initiative Order.

This works for text and for checkboxes. And if you wanted to get fancy, you could figure out the post url and use some other JavaScripty ways of having the member interact with the sheet in the "show" view. Like maybe the sheet would "remember" which tab of the sheet the member had open last.

This could also be used to make a "Quests" Wiki Page DST, so the Players can check off the quests that they have finished without having to Edit the Wiki Page.

Let us know if you see any issues!

I created a campaign and set it to D&D 5e,  Obsidian provided two DST's we could use for this edition.  I used the character sheets provided earlier today to create a few characters with no issue.  When I try to save a character now, using either D&D 5e Character Sheet or Basic D&D 5e, I run into this error.  Other members in my campaign run into the same error as well.

Can I do this, and also would I need to publish the same DST for each game I wanted to use it in?

Background

I've been working on a DST (for Wraith: the Oblivion) with the hopes of making it interoperable with other DSTs. (There isn't a Wraith DST for the World of Darkness system, so my group started with a generic one, and I was hoping to be able to switch characters to the Wraith DST with minimal work on the part of players.) I've implemented most of it, and added it to Obsidian Portal for testing. When I edited a test character and switched to the new DST, all but the default required fields were blank. This was unexpected as the original and new DST use the same field names for most of the static fields (and the new DST can import some fields that have different names).

Checking the source data, dynamic_sheet_attrs had none of the DFSs from the original DST. Looking at the site source (application-….js), the DST is loaded in bindDstSelect, which gets the new DST using the URL path `/dynamic_sheet_templates/${dst_ID}/with_character` (the "with_character" is noteworthy). The response HTML includes a (bare-bones) dynamic_sheet_attrs, overwriting the existing one. When switching back to the original DST, dynamic_sheet_attrs containing the original data is reloaded, so the original data isn't lost, it's just not accessible to other DSTs.

Questions

From my understanding, old character data should be accessible when switching DSTs (though the site only fill out DSFs that use the same names). The above behavior goes against my understanding. Is the above behavior by design, or is it a bug? Is there some way to make character data from another DST accessible when switching?

Note that here, "static" and "dynamic" are in relation to the DSTs. Static fields are those that are defined by the DST author in the HTML template, while "dynamic" refers to fields that may not exist within the HTML template of a DST and are defined by the player (in DSTs that have such a feature). It does not mean "dynamic" as used in "Dynamic Sheet Template" and "Dynamic Sheet Field", which are only dynamic in respect to Obsidian Portal.

Before going into solutions, it's helpful to consider use-cases, as long as we don't limit ourselves to these cases (even subconsciously) when considering the solutions. Some to consider:

• skills: besides static skills, a DST may allow a player to add their own, which would have name & rating fields.
• equipment: items are likely have many fields, some of which may have compound names. A DST may have more specialized examples of this, such as "weapons" or even "melee weapons".
• dark passions: compound name. Items have a name & rating.
• special abilities/class abilities: compound name. Items may be simple or compound, or may have dynamic sub-lists of their own (such as a list of effects).
• user-defined lists: besides adding items to a predefined list, a DST may allow a player to define their own lists of items, adding them to a section. This would allow a DST to be used with some optional rules that add stats, or with some changes in newer editions than the sheet was designed for.
• user-defined sections: a DST may allow a user to add whole sections, then add sub-sections or lists to those sections, then add items to those lists. This would allow a DST to be used with just about any extension to or newer version of the underlying system.

When I check the checkbox in edit, it does not remain checked on the resulting read page, and going back to edit it is still unchecked.

I do add the 'csx_pathfinder_common.js' library, but I'm not interfering with the checkboxes in my own javascript :/

Also on another side note are NONE of the VtM Sheets working?

If not is a faux pas to use the browser storage?

you know what would really help me out? a party tracker DST. It wouldn't need a lot:

name, AC, HP, spell dc, ability scores, passive perception, conditions. 

but then the ability to put as many characters as I wans in a scrolling list like this:

Now what would be truly awesome is that if it could pull stats from actual DST's (the best DST I have come across here is @Kallak's d&d 5e mobile friendly DST), but given this might be technically impossible, I would be more than happy to be able to fill one in myself.



One question would be where to house such a thing, as it is not a character, but not a wiki page. 



anyone else like this?

 Has anyone wanted a way to track character spell slots, especially with the D&D 5e basic character sheet? Right now, I'm just using the notes to track my players spell slots. Any way this could happen?

Has the method changed?

Also it might help to add "Savage Worlds Adventure Edition" vs "Savage Worlds Deluxe" as game versions. Sort of like the different versions of DnD but as drastic.

Is there a way I can try these out or help them along, or do I just need to wait for them to go public in the due course of events? (or start a FOURTH Fate Accelerated work in progress - ha!)
