You can either link your Patreon account within Foundry using the button in the Core Settings for DDB Importer or you can generate a unique key by using the following link: https://activate.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ .

To update a key go to the module settings and click on the Core setup button.

On the core setup page find the box called Patreon Key at the bottom of the form and delete the contents and paste (ctrl+v) into the field.

If you don't get around to changing your key/forget/etc the module will detect this and prompt you to enter a new key.

Thanks for your support in making this tool even better!

Goodmornig, i need new key please ^^

MrPrimate

Hi Federico, it's right at the end of the post! If you're on 0.8.8 of Foundry you can now link directly to Patreon and get a key that way, and of you've increased your tier you can find links here https://www.patreon.com/posts/45692991

Wow! I love your Importer - that coffee is on me! It imported 0 monsters. SRD has many, most with images, yet DDB Monsters is empty Am I doing something wrong ?

MrPrimate

Sounds like it - things to check: - your cobalt cookie is set correctly - you clear any source filters you have set - when you run the Monster Munch process, does it generate any error messages in the browser console (F12) If you have discord it will be easier to debug via chat there. Thanks!

I was running direct off the .exe. When I logged in via my browser it worked perfectly. You mentioning F12 gave me the idea. Thank you very much.

I've used the monster importer successfully before, however recently I ran into a similar issue. I get the error "Indicate whether to send a cookie in a cross-site request by specifying its SameSite attribute", where it says to resolve the issue by "updating the attributes of the cookie" (SameSite=None and Secure). I'm not 100% sure if this is the issue but it does list the affected resources as dndbeyond. Furthermore I'm not sure how to resolve this if its an issue on my end. EDIT: I've managed to clear up that error by specifically allowing all cookies for dndbeyond.com, however I'm still unable to download new monsters, I'll look into it more later.

I might be too stupid... how do I sync back to dnd beyond? The option to update is grayed out.

MrPrimate

Double check that the Cobalt Cookie is valid and that you have a patreon key inserted or your patreon account linked

Tried uploading all adventures from DnD-B I own into my world and encountered a few problems - to compare: Lost mines of Phandelver: Worked perfectly Hidden Shrine of Tamaochan: Maps and Walls are there, but no Actors Sleeping Dragons Wake: Maps are there but no Walls and no Actors Dragon of Icespire Peak: Won't let me generate the file because "Rock Gnome Recluse" is missing - and it isn't Same with Tomb of Annihilation - can't generate a file because Actors are missing, but they all appear in the compendium I reuploaded the monster database today because I bought Dragon of icespire peak (+ additional adventures) + Tales from the yawning portal. Do i have to do anything else? I also generated a new config file.

MrPrimate

The ones with missing walls and actors have likely not have them places, please see the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17b4jG2W521N_nFkE1jr2UGEjixHGjHGnEO9eSKhFmwo/edit#gid=190854504 I will check out the DoIP and ToA though as this has not been reported before.

MrPrimate

Can you try going to File -> Reset config and load your new config file in please they try generating DoIP and ToA again. If you have problems can you reach out on Discord and provide some screen shots of the errors. (Can you also let me know what version of Adventure Muncher you are using)

Anonymous

I didn't know about the spreadsheet - but is this up to date? According to the sheet DOIP shouldn't have walls but for me they do when I import it without actors and journal entry pins. Using Version 0.3.4 And I did config reset but got the same problem with missing Actors - for ToA: "Gladiator, Fire Elemental, Goblin, Goblin Boss, Zombie, Skeleton, Allosaurus, Axe Beak, Poisonous Snake, and more to a total of 22 monsters."

When I put in the key information and click detect patreon status, I am getting the authorization window, and then the "details have been sent to foundry" page, but the status in Foundry isn't updating, it just says "Not connected"...

MrPrimate

If the pop up remains open it should have a key in it you can paste into the field

Weird, I did that but it didn't work at first...but I closed FVTT out and came back later and it now worked. Thanks for the response!

Sorry, I hope this is the right place to ask about this, but, I had to do a big update of foundry and needed to apparently re-enter the cobalt code and for the life of me I can't get it to work. Went and installed the extension on Chrome, hit 'get cookie' and nothing seems to happen. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Anonymous

When I go there, this is all I get on the page "AccessDeniedAccess denied.Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object." Actually if I use Chrome which I realized I'd probably need to, I get this instead... This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. AccessDenied Access denied. Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object.

MrPrimate

Luke thegamingkiwi

Hi MrPrimate I'm unable to auto connect to patreon and I'm unsure as to why?, I am still able to link it manually tho

MrPrimate

Is this using https://activate.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ or through the Foundry button?
