Jumpgate Beta is Open to All Subscribers!

This is a bug we're aiming to solve in the next sprint. Thanks for highlight it! Gauss said: keithcurtis said: Repeating this question from the previous thread, because I don't know if it was seen or will be addressed: When did nameplates move to the top? I have bars set as bottom overlapping. "Overlapping" previously has allowed token nameplates to remain on bottom. Confirmed. This is not desirable behavior as it is a change from how folks have it in regular Roll20. However, if Roll20 gives control over nameplate position then I am ok with it. 

Hi Chris - I'm sending you a DM to get some more details from you about the game so we can take a look! Chris B. said: It looks like my players are all unable to level up their characters in the game I cloned into a Jumpgate game. The charactermancer will simply not allow them to finish the process in the Jumpgate game, while they can level up in the old game.

Hi James - thanks for sharing! I've added this to our list of mod/api's to review. We will be taking a look at potential Jumpgate mod/api updates with authors after our efforts to resolve high priority bugs. James B. said: I was planning on making extensive changes to a game and decided to make them in the latest version so I used Jumpgate. One of the things I added was a program to allow PCs with the appropriate powers to possess NPCs. I wrote a script using TokenMod to accomplish this but when I ran it using a pure player setup, the PC couldn't select the NPC token even though the token now had 'represents' set to the PC. I listed my problem on "ScriptCards - Thread #2." There Joshua N. helped me by offering another script using just ScriptCards: !script {{   --#title|Possession   --#sourceToken|@{selected|token_id}   --#targetToken|@{target|token_id}   --!graphic:[*T:t-id]|represents:[*S:t-represents]   --+[*T:t-name]|has been possessed by [*S:t-name] }} Indeed he wrote several more each giving more information trying to figure out what was wrong, since his PC always was able to select the NPC token after the 'represents' was set to the PC, while when I ran it my PC could still not select the NPC token. It finally dawned on me that I had not mentioned I was using Jumpgate. When I moved the script to an old game using the old system, the script worked and the PC was able to select the NPC token as it should be able to. One further bit of information which may help to identify the problem. On Jumpgate after the NPC token has 'represents' set to the PC, though the PC cannot select the NPC token it can double-click the token and open the Token settings which is not possible on other tokens.  I have reported this as a bug, but Gauss suggested I should mention it here too.

James - could you re-share the problem you're experiencing with represents token or link me to your previous post? I'm sorry if I missed it earlier. James B. said: Has my problem with changing 'represents' on a token not allowing the new 'represents' to select the token been put on a list?

Hi Chris - thanks for sharing this issue. We took an initial look, and determined that the cause of the issue is not the VTT/Jumpgate, but the Builder, which is handled by a partner team focused on Roll20 Sheets. We have shared this feedback, and they'll be taking a look! Chris B. said: It looks like my players are all unable to level up their characters in the game I cloned into a Jumpgate game. The charactermancer will simply not allow them to finish the process in the Jumpgate game, while they can level up in the old game.

Thanks Keith - I didn't originally connect the two going through large volume of feedback! I replied to this one separately relating to mod/api scripts here . keithcurtis said: Lavi said: James - could you re-share the problem you're experiencing with represents token or link me to your previous post?

Hi Novercalis - appreciate the report. We've had a couple reports of specific mods/apis requiring updates for Jumpgate (linking to an example by another one of our users). We've added "It's a Trap" to that list, and will be taking &nbsp;a look at potential Jumpgate mod/api updates with authors after our efforts to resolve high priority bugs. Novercalis said: Jumpgate is having issues with It's a Trap. I created a post on the mod API, thinking it was not related to jump-gate until I made 2 new games, one of them being jump gate and was able to reproduce it easily.

DM Deadman &nbsp;- we are tracking this issue and trying to get to the bottom of it as it's intermittent. We don't have ETA yet at this time, but I will be posting updates here as we get more information. Thanks for the report. DM Deadman said: I keep having an issue where I drag a spell token I created. Basically making a character and using that as the spell token for wall of force as an example. But when I drag the token to the board it shows as invisible too me and some of the players. I have to refresh Roll20 everytime I drag a new token onto the battlefield to be able to see it.

McBeardly - thank you for your report, and apologies for the additional work this may have cause you. We identified the root cause of this to be an intermittent/unattended behavior of a release that happened last week, not specific to Jumpgate. We rolled back the code earlier today that was likely the cause of this, which should keep this from happening in the future. More details will be posted by our Customer Service team in a parallel Forum thread , so sharing it as an additional reference point. McBeardly said: All of my playlists appear to have become unsorted in the last week or so, the contents dumped into a general pile. Is there anything specifically that would cause this?

Cedric - Gauss has already shared the Forum Thread where our Customer Service team will be providing more detail, but did want to let you know that we believe we identified the cause and pushed a fix in the last hour.&nbsp; Cedric L. said: Gauss said: Cedric L. said: Something strange just happened in my game. Half of my journals all got kicked out of their folders/subfolders back into the root of the journal tab. None of those folders/subfolders got deleted, as they are still there. All these journals were imported when I cloned one of my current game. Additionally, I created 14 new journals since then and they are all gone. I can't find them anywhere, and the tokens on the board are no longer linked to any journals.&nbsp; &nbsp;After refreshing 5 times, the journals came back and my tokens are linked again, but like I mentioned above, these journals also got kicked out of their folders. (Thank god I don't have to re-create these 14 journals...) Hi Cedric L.,&nbsp; The Devs have posted a response to this issue&nbsp; here . I see now, I thought it was related to Jumpgate since the only campaign that was affected was the one that is using Jumpgate and I somehow missed that post when I looked the first time. Sorry and thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I've shared this with our Design team for consideration! keithcurtis said: SirPryzin said: ...are there plans to allow make the map (viewable map area) size adjustable from the top and left sides, allowing us to choose the direction in which the map size in increased, instead of always adding to the bottom and right? This is a common feature for changing canvas size in many image editing sites/applications, and would be very useful here, as well. That would be helpful, but I have no insight on that.

Jonathan - we are aware of a couple of such behaviors specific to Chromebooks that are in our pipeline. Could you share a bit more about the behavior she is experiencing that is "detached"? For example, is there a potential lag on page switch so that the Dynamic Lighting she is seeing is from a previous page? Jonathan K. said: One of my players keeps having a problem which she describes as the "lighting layer becoming detached" and she has to reload the page..&nbsp; She is on a Chromebook, but it's only happening to her..

This is helpful, and in previous post Hultz &nbsp;was my next line of thinking as well. It sounds like she was logged in as a GM if she was able to move the map, and if so, was she on the map layer (which may indicate expected behavior)? If the above notes don't solve it for her, I'll DM you so we an more detail to investigate the specific instance. Jonathan K. said: Thanks for the reply. I checked with the player, she replied: "It wasn't from lag on page switch as we hadn't been changing maps.&nbsp; I would try to drag the map and the map would move but the dynamic lighting wouldn't" I can confirm their was no change of map.&nbsp; It's quite a large one, we did notice what seemed to be periodic lag spikes which was happening for everyone (this was Sunday evening GMT) but nothing major for the rest of us. .&nbsp; She was just reloading the map each time the problem happened, but it happened quite a lot.
