Help Finding Top Scripts That Currently Work

Had a super long paragraph here but roll20 crashed when I pressed post topic... SO here's the summary Used to use roll20, loved the api scripts I had.  Now back after long time (baby appeared!) and many scripts don't work/work badly.  Curious  what scripts are considered good that work with current roll20. Generally run D&D 5e and looking for things that Allow mass rolls (saves/checks/etc) Showcase  Player abilities (Paladin aura/HuntersMark/eg) Any other useful thing Many thanks, apologies if I missed a place where these are listed but I struggle to use these type of forums, they tend to be a tad overwhelming.
Here's my standard blurb  that I'll just cut-and-paste.  Start with TokenMod ... it's the absolute must-have if you only have a single script, and the one that will enable you to turn on/off light sources, switch token faces, etc.  Then I've bolded the ones I think are most useful in a general sense. I personally use DnDBeyond and Beyond20 for everything PC character sheet related, and I use a ton of scripts and scriptlets (little one-off, single use type things that I've picked up all over the forums). So there are definitely other scripts that I don't use which may be very helpful for you (such as Scriptcards or CombatMaster). A lot of these scripts are not listed as "one-click" but are in fact available in the Script Library.  I just didn't have the link handy for them.  I modified several of the scripts in minor ways -- for example if there is a sendChat() function that has a blank 'speaking as' reference, I usually like to modify that so that the API is named.   For all of these scripts I have various macros to call them but that would take a lot of time to list all those out.  Also, definitely check out the  Stupid Roll20 Tricks thread  if you haven't before.  Metascripts Metascript Toolbox  - This is a single macro that has all of Timmaugh's Metascripts loaded as dependencies to make it easy to just load them all up at once.   Communication AnnounceHello  - (Edited version) Sends a message to chat when players enter or exit the game Message of the Day  - Greets players that log in with the contents of a note NoArchive  - (Edited version) Prevents chat message from being archived SuperNotes - Pulls the contents from a token's GM Notes field emas (One-click) - Provides player !emas and !as commands, duplicating the effects of the GM-exclusive Text Chat commands /emas and /as Faerun Calendar  - If you're playing in a Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, or 'Modern' (real-world) setting, this will create a calendar you can share with players D&D 5E Loot Macromule  - Treasure tables for D&D 5E GM Functions APIHeartbeat  -  Shows the API is running by oscillating the color of the user API Startup  - "API Starting" message to chat Bump  -  Move Tokens to GM layer and create invisible token with GM aura on Object layer PingPullPlayers  -  Pulls controlling players to selected token Door Knocker  -  Simplifies opening and closing doors  so much Center Small Tokens  - No API Commands used. Automatically centers tokens that are smaller than 70px on the grid. RecursiveTables  - For doing more sophisticated rolling on tables (loot, NPC generators, etc.)  TableExport  - Import Rollable Tables  DLTool - Everything Dynamic Lighting related  Update Tokens/Characters TokenMod  -  Provides an interface to setting almost all settable properties of a token ChatSetAttr  -  Provides an interface to set character attributes D&D 5E Universal Statblock Macromule  - Chat menus for all PC & NPC info and rolls DnD 5E by Roll20 Companion (one-click) - Resource/ammo tracking, short/long rest functionality, etc. NumberNPCs  - Appends a number to the end of each NPC on a page where there are more than one representing a given character MonsterHitDice  - Automatically fills in the hit points for a characters dragged onto the table top TokenNameNumber  - Automatically numbers tokens as they are placed on the tabletop Faces  - Easily swap rollable token images TokenAction  -  Creates default token actions for the selected tokens UniversalChatMenu  - Creates Chat Menus Add GM Note  - Used with TokenNameSwap to create name in GM Notes field that can be swapped with token name TokenNameSwap  - Used with AddGMNote to swap token name from token field to GM Notes field. Set Char Name  - Used to update Character Name Map Change  - Allow players to move themselves to pages you designate (like an overworld map or landing page) Token Condition  - Add images to tokens for conditions, or what I use it for is lighting and mounts. Lighting is done with invisible .pngs that are a light source so they follow the character, and mounts follow the character as well CustomizableRollListener  - "Listen" for specific chat outputs and respond with prompts (such as a reminder when a character casts a concentration spell) Twins  - Have two tokens mirror movements on different pages  Linked Movement  - Have two tokens mirror movements on the same page Teleport  - Move tokens to 'portals' (on the same page or on different pages) Turn Tracker/Combat Aura/Tint HealthColors  -  Sets the aura or tint of mobs and players to green/yellow/orange/red based on how hurt they are. SimpleInitiative  -  Turn Tracker End of Turn and Green Dot functionality SpellTurnTrackerEffects  - Apply spell effects to the turn tracker TokenActionMaker  - Create Token Actions for character abilities Observer  - Designates a player to be an observer, restricting view to tokens on their turn GroupInitiative  -  Rapidly add large groups of tokens into the turn order GroupCheck  -  Roll checks, saves, et cetera for many tokens at once Apply Damage  -  Roll saving throws and automatically apply damage for many tokens at once; Used in conjuction with GroupCheck Script Condefinition - D&D 5E; watches for keywords and outputs info/buttons for conditions and status effects MarkTurnStartLocation  - Place a small icon under the current token's location during combat, so you can always trace distance moved FlyMore  - Add status markers to note a token's height/depth (great for flying/burrowing/swimming creatures during combat) LegendaryActionReminder  - GM Whisper reminder after PC turns, if character with Legendary Actions is in Turn Order

Jarren's list is great, but I'll note that Door Knocker is probably less useful now a days with the advent of actual doors/windows as it doesn't work with door/window feature of Roll20.

I still prefer using Door Knocker with DL lines for doors and windows for this specific reason. :)  Are you looking at updating Door Knocker to work with new UDL Doors and Windows? It looks like their object attributes are exposed to Mod scripts, unless I'm misunderstanding the wiki .
Now that's a doozy of a comment, thank you so so much. I also  use DnDBeyond and Beyond20 so it seems our setups are quite matched. Haven't really made use of doors (except disabling them cause they got in the way xD)
