Development Update August 2022 (Patreon)

Greetings Adventures,

Welcome once again to this month's summary of activities. As we all know, the Kobolds work tirelessly to add new features, improve the modules, and provide essential frontline support. Let's see what their toils have bought us this month...

What have the interns been up to?

This month, much energy has been placed into Vehicle Munching in anticipation of new vehicles in the upcoming Spelljammer release (Aug 16th).

It's currently in beta, available to all Undying and God tier supporters. It will be available to all supporters around the release of Spelljammer Adventures in Space!

Background work continues apace. There is [CLASSIFIED: PROJECT SHARED HOARD] going on in the background, of which I cannot tell you much more.

In addition, Foundry v10 is now gathering speed, and a release is imminent. I would strongly advise that most folks stay away from this right now. Right now, most of the fancy effects/midi/your favourite module integration almost certainly don't work. I'll make the v10 branch available for Undying supporters in the next few days.

Finally, I have sunk a lot of hours into investigating the Foundry v10 Journaling changes and ways the Muncher might be able to use these.

DDB Importer

Condensed changelog of other changes and fixes

Effects:

• Witchbolt would not work if triggered by player. There is still an issue where the round prompt will ask the DM rather than player to decide what to do.
• Feature effect: Rage created a damage field when it shouldn't.
• Feature effect: Rune Carver Giant's Might effect. Rune Carver Runes. Reckless Attack. Vigilant Blessing. Steady Aim.
• Spell effect: Spike Growth. (Requires Active Auras).
• Feature effect: Steady Aim: Some correction to name, and movement reduction effect.
• Some spells with effects tweaked to use selfTarget from latest DAE to keep native range.

Monsters:

• Monster import will now respect items that have exclusion, resource linking or icon change flags on them. This only works in original munching mode, not bulk.
• Vehicle Munching Beta

Other:

• Attempt to catch an issue munching subclasses into an existing compendium.
• Update character debug additions to aid troubleshooting.
