Theater of the Mind (Universal) Extension

[Valyar]

If I drag PC from Combat Tracker to the Panel it does not work, when I drag from Characters screen it works. Now this is fine for the PC, but I can't drag and drop NPC from CT but from NPC Library, which is not linked to CT and I have double work to do to add/remove combatants. Is this the process?

The token does not work at this time, but if you click and drag the link in the CT to the slot it will load the NPC. Also, the friend or foe icons will add all the relevant actors as well to the slots if you drop it on the frame.

The link, not the icon
Works like a charm. I hope future enhancements are put such as more columns.

It is actually available now. If you are comfortable tinkering in the code, you can change 2 to whatever number you wish. I'm working out how to get this available to change within FG.

ct/scripts/ct_theaterofmind_combat.lua, change local NUMBER_LEVELS = 2; to whatever number you wish. This will expand the number of columns.

I have no issues working in the code
I can recommend to expose column numbers as Game Options, like the decals. This will be the best.

I will take that into consideration and thank you for the feedback.

I tested it with the Conan ruleset from the store and it's adding combatants to the frame.

Also tested it with MoreCore and it also adds the combatant to the frame.

Wait a minute! How did you add pictures to your sidebar buttons?

Also, and actually more importantly, how do I share the TotM with my players?
Do they need to install the extension also?
Is it automatically added to theirs as with the CT?

I'm planning on using this for Social Interaction more than TotM combat, but it has a fun JRPG format that lends itself to yelling something incomprehensible in broken anime Japanese while throwing a fireball at the front row.

The rulesets pictures are Conan and MoreCore respectively. Those are the base themes in those rulesets. Once you download the .ext file, you will need to place it in your extensions folder for the program. You can reach this quickly by hitting the folder icons on dashboard of the program. Then choose your campaign and navigate through the extensions list and select the extension to have it available within your campaign.

I tested this out on FGU tonight. The main problems were, 1. Players could only see their own token and NPC tokens, but not the other PC tokens; and 2. All effects were revealed to the players, including effects which were set to GM-only view in the CT. I very much like the idea behind this and hope to use it again when it has gone through some more revisions.

I was about to report the same issues
