in Limiter functionalities for the maps August 2021

1. Ha! Noted. 3. I think I follow now ... you want a way to be able to show/hide the map markers as a group, and also tagging. I'll add that Feature Request to the list. Thanks! 2. I think you could indeed have a custom image by type, you woul…

in Limiter functionalities for the maps August 2021

1. I think the tower is a specific tower of a specific country ... though I don't know which. Those are all national monuments of different nations, I think. There aren't that many of these map marker groups, and a member can browse through all o…

in Better mobile navigation August 2021

Thanks for the request! I'll add that to the Feature Request list. In the mean time, the "section" that you're in, like Characters in this scenario, should be highlighted white in the menu, while all the others are gray. So to get back to the main…

in Show characters to specific players only August 2021

Thanks for this request! This is something we're wanting to do, but it requires an overhaul of the "permissions", which is on the other side of some other backend technical debt, so it probably won't happen soon. But we've got it on the Feature Req…

in Character for DM and one player? August 2021

Right, with the current settings, it's not possible to restrict viewing of any pages to one or more specific Players. The closest that currently exists is the Player Secrets, and the Private Character checkbox.

@NimrodYanai, cool! Glad I got close to what you were wanting. Noted on the tag counts. I'll add that to the Feature Requests list.

in NPCs gets really full August 2021

@UselessTriviaMan, got it. Okay, I added a "hidden feature" for you (anyone else can use it too, they just need to know it exists ... ). You can filter that overall Search by multiple tags ... but it only works in the url ... there's no UI support …

in NPCs gets really full August 2021

@UselessTriviaMan, to clarify, the feature you're talking about is related to the OP overall Search, since you want to search Wiki Pages. You're not talking about the Characters page filtering, right? @ragnarhawk, @NimrodYanai, were you both talkin…

in NPCs gets really full August 2021

@ragnarhawk, @NimrodYanai, @UselessTriviaMan, I super appreciate that feedback! I'm always wary of changing something that seems like it should work a different way, if it has already been in place for a while. There's usually a reason it worked th…

in Add a checkbox option August 2021

That feature is still on the list, but it hasn't gotten priority yet. One thing we're considering as a broader solution is creating "DSTs for Wiki Pages". So then the Community could create "page templates" that use JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and stor…

@NimrodYanai, can you give me a scenario in your game when you would want to be able to search by narrowing down? For groups, my comment above (second from the top) still feels true to me ... adding groups to this page would overcomplicate it. But …

in I cast Hold Map Marker! August 2021

@NimrodYanai, noted! I'll add that feature request to the list, but no promises on when it would be implemented. Thanks for the background details on how you would use it. That really helps!

in View all campaign updates since last visit? July 2021

There's not currently a built in way to do this. And actually some GMs use the limit as a way to keep something secret that they accidentally posted public. For example, if they are creating an NPC that's supposed to be GM Only until it's revealed…

in Backups and Embedded PDF files July 2021

@ragnarhawk, I've done a fair amount of screen scraping for various projects, and I bet you would find it pretty easy even compared with having a file to parse. And I don't know when we'll be able to get to adding the DST data to the backups, so I'…

in Backups and Embedded PDF files July 2021

@ragnarhawk, if you View Source on a Character with a DST, and search for "dynamic_sheet_attrs", you'll find all of the DST data in JSON format. Does that give you what you need for transforming to commands? Note that the data labels, like "ac" and…

@ragnarhawk, I'm not a big user of VTTs, so I don't have context here. What data are you needing for uploading to a VTT?

in Backups and Embedded PDF files July 2021

Thanks for bringing this up! Before now, I hadn't really looked at what all the Backups do or don't contain. It looks like they don't contain: - Calendar - Player Secrets on anything - Adventure Log Comments - Media Library files - Character DST en…

in How to contact a user? July 2021

Glad you found it! Just in case anyone else is searching and finds this ... To message an OP member, you must be an OP member yourself. So, first create an OP account from the OP homepage (it's free). Then, after you login, you need to visit the P…

Definitely no sorry needed! Pointing out bugs that need to be fixed is the opposite of trouble, so sincerely thank you!

in GM's Only Section Visible July 2021

@charles_f_abel, I looked into this a bit deeper and I think what you saw was a bug in the caching. It should be fixed now. The bug was telling the browser to show you a previously downloaded version of the page ... the version of the page where y…

in ObsidianPortal occasionally logs me out for no reason July 2021

@JasontheFuzz, @Keryth987, I made some changes to the "keep me logged in" feature last night. Let me know if either of you are experiencing any more annoying behavior. The details of the changes ... You should now be able to stay logged in on as ma…

in GM's Only Section Visible July 2021

Thanks for bringing this up! I don't see the GM Only section when I'm logged in or when I'm logged out, and no changes have been made to that part of the code lately. If you can make it happen again, can you take a screenshot and post it here or em…

in ObsidianPortal occasionally logs me out for no reason July 2021

Thanks for bringing this annoyance up! @Keryth987, I log in and out all the time for testing, so I didn't notice that logging in on another device will log you out on all other devices. I'll work on fixing that. Beyond that, the "keep me logged in"…

in How Does One Make an Existing Folder GM Only? July 2021

Glad you found it! No need to move the image later to show it to Players. Images that are in a GM Only folder are still visible if directly linked.

Oooh, I like that Yazan rule. That would really help with making sure one battle doesn't take the whole session.

in What should he do? June 2021

I'm not personally familiar with this particular game system, so I don't know the intricacies, but as a player it's never fun to have everything hinge on one or two dice rolls. As a GM, I'd describe the minor failure as something that is holding up…

Definitely no insult perceived (and sorry if it seemed like I had)! Just trying to make sure I fully understood the scenario you were wanting to cover. This does sound unusual enough that it wouldn't be something we'd add officially, but I think yo…
