Andraax' Moon Tracker Extension

[HalC]

I've got it installed on my machine now, the next step is to set goals and to read chapter by chapter - those things that I need to learn. I'm guessing that knowing some computer logic from other programming languages should make it easier to pick up concepts. It is the Syntax that will be bothersome.

Ideally? What I should do is enroll in the Fantasy Grounds Academy to get to where I'm more conversant with what is possible. Right now, I'm in the process of running some GURPS TRAVELLER online, and want to reopen my GURPS 1920's New Orleans campaign set just after the end of the War to End All Wars (World War I). But right now, the hardest part of retirement is getting into a Daytime schedule after decades of being third shift. If you want, we can communicate via Facebook or even arrange to meet online via Fantasy Grounds Unity and simply chit chat. Who knows, if I get into the harness fast enough, I can maybe help others here or there.

Seems like the Tracker is not working as of 6/2/2025. Installed the most recent version, and in a test campaign, with ONLY this addon, and a built in Calendar, the Moon Phases are Fully resetting on the first day of a year. Relatively certain this is somehow related to the whole epoch thing where the code is able to keep track of progress crossing year boundaries.

Hi Bakku!

I wanted to drop in and show my appreciation for you "taking over" this extension's excellent features. In more than one of my campaigns, having accurate lunar cycles has been a necessity and I look forward to having the simple issue of the time not showing on first load fixed finally (see posts above for more info). I realize that you weren't asking everyone for their input, but since the previous poster hasn't responded, I'll throw some considerations your way.

At a minimum, it would be nice to see native support for the 5e D&D (lunar) calendars of Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. I would have to guess that a sizable percentage of the population runs games in one of those universes. To that end, I'm throwing some data your way. To achieve the lunar cycles, here are the settings I use plus additional settings that I've collected from this thread. You can clearly see that many of us have tried to do the math to make it work, often with wildly different settings. I hope this helps in some way.

My Forgotten Realms Settings
Forgotten Realms: Selûne
Period: 30.4375
Duration: 1
Shift: 15

From the forum:
name: Selûne
duration: 1
period: 30.4375
shift: 15.21875

My Greyhawk Settings
Moon, Period, Duration, Shift
Luna, 28, 1, 3.5
Celene, 91, 1, 48.875
Liga, 364, 1, 0

From the forum:
For Greyhawk, I found the following if you are using the Moon Tracker extension by BMOS from the FG Forge, set the moons with the following:
Moon Period Duration Shift
Luna 28 1 4
Celene 91 1 50

Also from the forum for Greyhawk:

Thank you for the information! I am closing in on it. My day job has just been kicking my arse lately
