worldbuilding's Issues

Pick-up_stix Doesn't seem compatible

In GitLab by @rholman-PRFT on Nov 1, 2020, 18:05

Sadly, the default simple-item template seems to preclude the option of creating items of other types from modules? I am trying to use Pick-Up-Stix, but I don't see a way to create a container item.

Label Field for HP/power

Hi.

Can you add a label to hp and power in the actor sheet?

Can't open character sheet

In GitLab by @ChrisFlyGD on Jan 14, 2022, 09:49

Hi!

I'm using this system since a year and it's the first time i got an issue with it: i can't open any character sheet.
It appeared with the last update of FoundryVTT & the system.
I already tried to disable all modules, it looks like the issue comes from the system, here's what i got:

I looked on my drive and there is no actor-sheet.html at the given location.
I don't know if i can do something to fix this but i can't play without my sheets.

I hope you'll be able to help me or find a fix.

Thank you and have a nice day

Add a system setting to configure the preferred initiative formula that should be used

Allow the user to define a formula which should be the default initiative equation. Note that this does not attempt to handle actor-specific overrides to that formula, this would just be a starting place.

Allow certain attributes to be flagged as "item tags" which would display as pieces of metadata next to the item title on the character sheet.

Add support for item groups on character sheets.

In GitLab by @asacolips on Dec 8, 2020, 10:18

Similar to the recent attribute group feature for the attributes tab, it would helpful for organization purposes if the items tab of character sheets supported custom groups to be defined for items.

Support the ability to define reusable template types for Actor and Item entities which store the attributes of that actor type and can be selected from when creating a new Actor.

Add options for diagonal movement

In GitLab by @mrkwnzl on Sep 7, 2020, 24:04

As a rules agnostic system, it would be useful to have different options for diagonal movement on a square grid. I think the options in the 5e system work well (1-1-1, 1-2-1, euclidian), but maybe a 2-2-2 would be useful as well.

Thanks!

calculate total weight on item sheet

This system is simple and flexible and very wonderful.

Since you can set the Quantity and Weight for an item, it is useful to be able to display that number in the Actor's item column.
Weight shows the total, and Quantity shows the item by item.
I would be happy if I could do it.

Option to rightclick a roll to apply damage

In GitLab by @RexRakete on Jan 4, 2022, 12:37

It would be very nice, if you could right click on a roll to apply damage or healing to a token like for example in the DnD5e system or many other systems.

Obtaining number results from roll table for calculations

I would like to submit an enhancement request for simple world building system. I would like there to be a way to make a roll table result produce a number result. For my purposes I would want that number result be useful for damage calculation purposes.

For example this weapon invokes power table 12. Rolling on this table produces a result of 4. This 4 can then be added to the final result of damage.

• What the feature should do
  This feature would allow gamers to use roll tables to aid in damage roll calculations, expanding what systems could be featured in simple worldbuilding.

• Why the feature will be helpful
  There are a few game systems that use a randomized table to determine damage results. Having that functionality built into simple world building would allow these systems to be captured in foundry and make use of the roll table feature in a different way.

• a consideration
  "Something else I would consider as part of the issue is letting either tables or macros be acceptable solutions. If you can let a rollable attribute on the sheet invoke a macro instead of a dice formula, it can then do whatever it needs to (including rolling from a table)." - asacolips

Support 2d6 systems

In GitLab by @kraetos on Aug 13, 2020, 21:23

It would be great if there was a version of the Simple Worldbuilding system where 2d6 was the default dice roll instead of 1d20. Managing initiative and turn order using Simple Worldbuilding for any system other than one that uses 1d20 as the default roll is a huge pain.

Throw an error if a user tries to use "attr" as an attribute group prefix since this string is reserved for internal use.

In GitLab by @InflamedSebi on Nov 9, 2020, 15:13

tried to roll @mod.str on this character.

No matter what I try it always claims the attribute would not exist.
Same error when trying to reference it in the description.
I deleted and re created the attributes and groups, but no luck so far.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Items can not pull attributes from actor they are attached to.

In GitLab by @petejones.wrexham on Oct 25, 2020, 05:33

When using an Item in an actor you can use a forumla on the Actor that will pull in a Item attribute and roll correctly (example: 1d6 + @items.item_name.attributes_group.attribute).

With Items you can roll a formula referencing any attribute within the item itself but you cannot reference any attributes on the Actor you are attached to. I have tried the following and none worked:
1d6 + @attributes_group.attribute
1d6 + @character.attributes_group.attribute
1d6 + @character.character_name.attributes_group.attribute
1d6 + @character.attributes.attributes_group.attribute
1d6 + @character.character_name.attributes.attributes_group.attribute

Attributes not associated with rolls should be correctly displayed in text editor boxes like they are in chat via macros

In GitLab by @cyanomys on May 15, 2020, 24:40

Right now, when you use [[@ATTR1]] with no dice in a macro it returns the value in chat, but if you use [[@attr]] with no dice in a journal entry or the actor description, it returns 0. Additionally, neither use case handles string or boolean correctly. Booleans are returned as 0's and strings are returned as undefined. I can make a separate issue for that if you think it's a very different problem, however.

Correcting this functionality would be a huge boon to those of us who are using Simple Worldbuilding to make ghetto character sheets for unsupported games without coding. Improving the ability of the Simple Worldbuilding System to fully support returning attributes in text editors, as well as creating an easier-to-find guide for using it, could make Foundry much more accessible and appealing to people who want to play weird games without learning to code. We could even create a sort of secondary Foundry modding community of newbs who mod simple worldbuilding :)

Potential Issue with using actor attributes in a custom initiative formula

Thanks for the great system! I'm having an issue with the custom initiative. I created a character sheet with attributes. One of them is perception bonus (PB). I can use it to modify rolls from macros so I know I at least have that part right. However if I add it to the custom initiative (1d10 + @PB) I get an error saying "the attribute @PB was not present in the provided roll data".

Interestingly it still works for the current session, but if i log out and back in it no longer works and I have to re-enter it (and get the error again).

Do I need to establish the perception attribute somewhere else other than within a character sheet?

Create owned item hook not invoked

In GitLab by @kamcknig on Oct 5, 2020, 18:40

I'm unsure if this is a system issue or a foundry issue.

When opening an actor's sheet and dragging and dropping an item onto the sheet, the createOwnedItem hook is never invoked when doing this in Simple world building, but it is invoked in other systems.

Support the ability to configure the layout and presentation of the Actor sheet with HTML blocks for different attribute groups which can be rearranged or configured to define an HTML template structure.

In GitLab by @aaclayton on Jul 21, 2020, 21:16

Support the concept of attribute groups which allow defined attributes to be organized into hierarchical groupings.

Each attribute group can support certain metadata like an id, a title, a default attribute type, and possibly a display format.

I think what I'm envisioning here is that you would be able to organize your attributes into "groups" or "sections" or "categories" (whatever we want to call it) that would be displayed as different sections of the sheet (probably alphabetically by title, alternatively you could allow each category to have an explicit sort order) so you would be able to have an attribute structure like:

Abilities
  Strength
  Dexterity
  Intelligence
Resources
  Health
  Stamina
Defenses
  Armor
  Block
Resistances
  Physical
  Elemental
  Psychic

Report that negative values for attributes do not work

Hey mate, i'm using your simple worldbuilding system. I'm trying to create a sword with a negative attribute. The player has an attribute with the same name. I've tried changing the attribute from string, to number in all possible variations but i don't seem to get it to work.

Do you have any idea of why that might be the case?

Creation or deletion of an attribute when an attribute has focus does not work

In GitLab by @SolarBear on Apr 25, 2020, 10:06

How to reproduce

1. Create or select an Actor.
2. Select the Attributes section.
3. Create a new Attribute.
4. Edit one of the sheet's text values (attrubute key, value or label; hp; actor name; etc.).
5. Keeping the focus inside that control (ie don't click outside the control), click on the '+' button to add a new attribute or a trash can icon to delete one.

Expected behavior

This should add a new attribute or delete the selected one, respectively.

Observed behavior

The action does not get registered. Clicking a second time does work because the control loses the focus, then.

The "Add Attribute Group" button on the character sheet does not seem to be working properly in the v10 release

I'm new to foundry, but it seems like the Add attribute group button on simple world building character sheet is broken (version 10, build 284)? I can't seem to organize the attributes into groups like I was able to in the last version 9 software. Seems to work fine while creating items. Also, when I accidentally create an attribute key with a space, it seems to glitch out the character sheet and I have trouble accessing and modifying it. Maybe these two issues are related.

Modules are disabled, windows 10 pro 64 bit, foundry vtt software (no browser). Create a new world in simple world building, create new actor, populate the basic character sheet with attributes. Errantly type in an attribute key with a space and press enter for error message. Try creating attribute group. After this, the character sheet bugs out and sometimes doesn't update my entry, or fails to load altogether.

Add Macro as Data Type

In GitLab by @brunocalado on Dec 7, 2020, 18:46

Hi.

If you create a new data type called macro and let the user add a macro to it that execute on item click there will be great benefits.

You could create itens with all automation you want.

Example: You could create moves for Apocalypse World that on click will read the attribute and tell the result.

I did something similiar to a kult macro (link).
