Deck of Cards & Barricades

1620528092

Edited 1620532264
I know, the title doesn't make sense as those are so very different from one another.  But they do go together with the game I'm uploading to Roll20. :D First off, Deck of Cards .  So the one deck of cards the game has, has 3 different back's to them.  Different groups within the deck.  My question is, can I have all 3 back of the cards in a single deck or do all the cards in that deck have to have the same back image? Barricades! So in the game there are barricades (Pretty much just sealed up doors).  Is it possible to give the players the ability to move barriers into place (hallway for example) and the barricade itself would have a wall attached to it so once placed it would block line of sight/Light sources as if a GM opens/closes a door for players? Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone know if Deck of Cards is completely broken? I've attempted to upload multiple cards to a Deck.  It does all the loading, converting, etc.  But once I click on Create....not a single card appears in the deck. If I do one card at a time, each one WILL populate and show in the number of cards in the deck.  This would be fine if it were a small deck but I have 2 decks for a total of over 100 cards to upload.  One by one will drive any sane person crazy!

Hey there. Yes it's bugged-broken, there have been several Bug Report threads about multiple-card upload not working lately. (Haven't seen those posts get answered or resolved, sadly). Search for the reports and see if matches your issue or if there's any solution presented. Seems like a bug may have cropped up. Roll20 just recently introduced the Multiple Card upload, and it seems to have broken shortly thereafter. Deck of Cards -- Multiple Backs question. No, unfortunately, just 1 card back Per Deck, right now. The card decks feature hasn't really been improved (apart from the now-broken mutli card uploader), for many years. There are several popular Suggestions & Ideas threads requesting improvements and features to make Roll20 Card Decks accessible & useful for more games. There is specifically a Suggestion asking for Multiple Card Backs, as well as a few asking for general Card Deck feature upgrades. You might want to add your Comments and +1 there too. Barriers, the last question. Hmmm. I don't know how but I believe you could do that (only with) using the API.  Sure, it will be fairly easy to provide player-controllable Barricades / Doors / Walls that they can move into place. Those will simply be Tokens of the barricades with All Players permission to control them.  The issue is having it bring a Dynamic Light wall-barrier on the UDL layer along with the player-controlled Token.  There might be a way to do that with the API scripts. Not sure of a Script name that does it, maybe "Bump" API could.
Hey Gold!  Thanks for all the information!  I do believe I have Bump installed right now into the game (thanks very heavily on Tim for helping me setup API's for my first time ever to get one of the dial's acting like if someone was actually using it!).  I'll see if I can find info on how I might be able to use Bump for this.  I'm REALLY trying my hardest to make playing this game as simple and easy for my friends as if we were all sitting together around the board game but I have to say, it's certainly turning out to be a hell of a job just getting everything onto Roll20 let alone having all the working pieces, working. :D  But still enjoyable.  Plus I've now got a really good understanding of what its going to be like when I start running my custom RPG games for Aliens!
