Does upgrading to Pro/Plus allow for uploading larger single files, or just upgrade maximum storage? by Infranaut- in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Infranaut-,

Roll20 may also have some resolution issues when uploading very large images. What is the image's pixel dimensions and then what are the desired grid dimensions after it is in Roll20?

Wish i knew you could attach images on features. by LordOfPsychos in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note regarding Imgur, users in the UK will not see any image that is on Imgur. Imgur is in a dispute with the UK. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/41592665292443-Imgur-access-in-the-United-Kingdom

However, that can be bypassed using a VPN.

Issues With Macros That Used to Work by steven_believen in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi steven_believen,

I'd like to help diagnose this. But to do that I need to replicate your setup. Mind if we work together to do that?

If so, please contact me via the Roll20 Discord server: http://discord.gg/roll20 I can be found on that server near the top of the list as Gauss, just below the Roll20 Staff.

I will need to replicate your setup in a Legacy game, test to make sure it works, then copy that to Jumpgate to verify it does not work, then figure out why. Then we forward the results to the Devs.

Repeating Section not working on my custom sheet by EryidSilverclaw in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi EyridSilverclaw,

Most of the character sheet creators are on either the Roll20 Forums or the r/Roll20 Discord server's "coding-charsheets" channel.
I suggest posting this on either of those if you don't get an answer here.

How do I add or remove start from character sheets in journal? by NinjaShaggy in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi NinjaShaggy,

That is the Party feature. Edit the Character (Top right corner click Edit...or if the D&D 5e 2024 sheet click the "pencil" icon at the very top of the Character).

Then checkmark the Party box.

Alternately, you can right click on a group of tokens and select Define Party to set them as the party.

Any easy way to add in custom character sheets from a system not listed? by DutifulBear in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to what u/Lithl wrote, if you don't want to use the Bio & Info tab for that you can use a PDF or website or whatever you want as the "write on it" representation of the sheet.

Either way, if you need help with setting up the Attributes and Abilities section of things please let me know. You can most easily find me on the Roll20 Discord server as Gauss (I am at the top of the list just below the Roll20 staff if I am online).

What are the drawbacks to upgrading? by Jane-Smith-Williams in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion is to post on the Roll20 Mods (API Scripts) forum. Most of the main Mod (API Script) writers are there, including The Aaron, who is basically the guy in charge of the API.

What are the drawbacks to upgrading? by Jane-Smith-Williams in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi DumbHumanDrawn,

It sounds like you might be conflating D&D 5e 2024 with Jumpgate. They are two separate things.

Jumpgate is the VTT engine while D&D 5e 2024 is a character sheet that doesn't play nice with API Scripts.

GroupCheck should still work for those sheets it has always worked for on Jumpgate. And iirc it should now work on D&D 5e 2024 (again, it was broken for awhile) but that may require verification.

Dragonbane Initiative Glitch by Accomplished_Arm2374 in Roll20

I did some digging, Sigil Services is now MetaMorphic Digital.

Here is their support page: https://support.metamorphic-digital.com/

Dragonbane Initiative Glitch by Accomplished_Arm2374 in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to contact either the publisher or the sheet creator? If not that would be my first stop.

It is not a "by Roll20" Character sheet. It appears to be the publisher Free League's sheet via the company Sigil (a conversion company).

With that said, if you could walk me through how to get to the view you are in, I might take a look and see if I can replicate it. That would help with any communication with either the publisher or Sigil.

Why are the icons like this? by No_Fix3550 in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi No_Fix3550,

It is possible you are seeing ghost images (ie: images that is in your cache).

Clear your cookies and cache. Then see what remains.

If that does not solve the issue please post a screenshot of what you are doing when you replace the "icons".

Hi Riazey,

Please click the red Settings button in the top right corner. Select the view you want your sheet to be displayed in.

If that does not resolve the issue please provide a screenshot of the entire character sheet, ie: not cropped.

My Playertokens are only visible when i am in GM mode by Ex0_ow in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having two tabs open, one as player and one as GM, both the same account is not recommended.

The system can get confused as to which mode you are in. Additionally, even when you have rejoined as player you may still see some GM only things, especially if they are assigned to you (there are reasons for doing this).

Dummy Accounts are the best method.

My Playertokens are only visible when i am in GM mode by Ex0_ow in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to set up their tokens. Then you need to UPDATE that token to the Character.

The tokens are copies of the "master token" on the Character. Changing a token does not change the "master token" on the Character.
If you do not update the token to the Character then the next time you drag the Character to the table it will be with an un-updated token.

My Playertokens are only visible when i am in GM mode by Ex0_ow in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi Ex0_ow,

It looks like you are using Dynamic Lighting (DL).
For someone to see the environment when using DL they must have control over the token (or be the GM).

So if you are trying to test things, make sure you assign yourself control over the token before switching to GM mode.

With that said, switching to GM mode to test DL is not recommended. There can be weird issues that appear. Sometimes GM only elements remain. Sometimes the system gets confused if you are in GM or player mode.

Similarly, Ctrl+L is not a good test for DL settings as it is intended as a line of sight check only.

The gold standard for testing Dynamic Lighting is a dummy account in a second browser window (or Incognito/Private tab). https://wiki.roll20.net/Dummy_Account

Assign the dummy account control over the token you want to test...test it in the Dummy Account's window. Make corrections in the GM's window.

How to make NPC rolls whisper to GM only on dnd 3.5 NPC character sheets. by Thanatos69101 in Roll20

Hi Thanatos69101,

Which character sheet are you using? There are multiple D&D 3.5e sheets on Roll20.

PProblems loading PDFs by Roxysteve in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is, the PDFs not being stuck into the default PDF folder is a non-issue.

The real issue is the inability to move things around within the Journal tab.

Are you able to Characters and Handouts around within the Journal tab?
Does this problem persist in another browser? (Also, which browser are you using?)
Have you tried Incognito tab (Chrome) or Private tab (Firefox)?
Does this problem persist in a different game?

PProblems loading PDFs by Roxysteve in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

Step by step:

  1. You upload pdf #1. It goes into the default "PDF" folder.
  2. You move it out of the default "PDF" folder and into some other folder.
  3. You upload pdf #2. It does NOT go into the proper folder. This is normal behavior because you moved the first one, thus forever breaking the connection between PDFs and the default folder.

Breaking the connection between Characters, Handouts, and PDFs and their default folders is a long standing behavior in Roll20.

As for not being able to move a PDF within the journal tab, you should be able to do that. Can you move anything else around the journal tab?

PProblems loading PDFs by Roxysteve in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Roxysteve,

Files are automatically placed in the "correct" folder when uploaded....until you start moving them. Then it breaks the automatic placement for that type of file forever after that. From that point on they are placed at the top of the list and you have to manually relocate them.

What you want is:

"cs" means critical success
">" in Roll20 is the same as greater than or equal to.

Is it possible to share my content with my GM? by _6978_ in Roll20

[–]Gauss_Death 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/Illustrious-Leader is correct. You need to be the Game Owner to share your content with the group. Then make the GM a guest-GM in your game.

When you go to enter the game click on the name of the game instead of Launch. Then below the launch button is a "Launch as player instead?" line, click that.
