State of development: Module import improvements and more
🕑 Added 2020-06-19 21:32:41 +0000 UTCWelcome everyone,
Note: The video is currently processing and video quality will improve over time.
watch me running through the changes with the upcoming 3.1.0 Chrome extension and the companion module vtta-dndbeyond for Foundry VTT. The extension is currently under review and once I get Google's GO, there will be both a new vtta-dndbeyond module and the extension available. Make sure to update both to not run into errors, as some of the data structures changed and work only together in new harmony.
If you are having trouble getting the new extension version automatically as an update, you can speed up the wait by uninstalling and re-installing the extension. Not super comfortable, but I am trying to make less breaking changes that require this type of coordination in the future.
In the video, I am talking about setup and enhancements regarding usability (hopefully, it's yours to decide!) and about
- the improvements regarding monster imports
- additions and bugfixes to rolling from your character sheet (including finding new bugs)
- showcasing the adventure module import improvements, new features and bells and whistles - this part received the most love this time.
Thank you all for your ongoing support, not only by supporting me on Patreon, but on supporting all new members to get the most out of Foundry and to answer questions so patiently. It's a pleasure to take part in the community and I want to invite everyone to join the communities forming on reddit or on Discord.
Take care, Sebastian

It is available, but it requires a connected extension so that the "Submit Scene" appears in the scene navigation and it has to be imported in the recent module/extension combo because of lacking metadata from the older version. I will provide a bit more details and instructions soon. Currently heading to get the MRT for doggo, I will be out until late this evening.
is the submission option supposed to be available ? I cannot see it on my scenes ? Are there any requirements, as in, precise scene name, or a setting that would make the feature unavailable ?
Thank you so much for these improvements! Just the sorting of journal entries is incredible. Navigating huge dungeons, like the one in Sunless Citadel used to be a pain because the numbers wouldn't appear in numerical order. I slowly started dragging the journal entries onto the map, but I'll wait for someone more experienced to finish the walls and lighting for that scene. THANK YOU!

What an exciting update! I can't wait until we can use them! I'm going to stop importing my content right now! The walls and grids on imports alone are a HUGE boon! Thank you! <3

Amazing stuff Sebastian! So proud you are making huge changes in such a short time. If I ever figure out how best to do the walls and such, maybe I can contribute to the community. Awesome feature!
