5E Save Overlay

[daddyogreman]

I have only just started looking at coding myself with FG and it has made me appreciate the amount of effort all extension writers put into their creations. There is a step learning curve to understand hooking into the existing routines as well as what routine does what as the code is not that well documented.

There are a number of mods that offer similar functionality with regards saves and death visuals on tokens - it is obviously a very popular configuration request by the user base.

With daddyogreman's 3 recent mods I have moved away from some of the older extensions that offer similar functionality which are in various states of flux - some of which are broken.

So many thanks for providing these extensions..

Think I first cracked open an extension about two weeks ago so I'm a total noob myself!
Yup, the learning curve is steep but I was driven by some extensions I used that fell out of maintenance and wanted to make some small, do only one thing thing extensions to replace some functionality I sorely missed and do it in a way anyone could contribute.

@daddyogreman, I found my issue. I had Celestian’s Situational Awareness extension loaded and it has a couple of buttons on it that override yours. When I disabled it I can see your buttons (sort of). In my game, your “clear wounds” button is almost exactly on top of the “clear saves” button with just a sliver of exposure on the left. Not sure best how to handle button positioning.

I love having a command line save clear, so great addition there. I am also whole heartedly on board for players seeing the save overlay. A toggle would be perfect for those DMs that only want to see it themselves. Your recent extensions have been a godsend, I’m using all three and happy to have them. Many thanks!

I fixed the nearly overlapping buttons. Have a download of the latest version of this extension and the wound overlays extension and you should see much better separating of the buttons

I just had a look at that extension and it rewrites the entire imagewindow_toolbar windowclass as opposed to doing a merge. That extension isn't going to play nice with any other extension that adds buttons to the image toolbar.
