A New Light - Bug Thread - Updated Dynamic Lighting and Fog of War

April 19 (5 years ago)

Edited April 19 (5 years ago)

What you were trying to do:

Move a token or focus ping

What happened: Sometimes I (GM) either forced camera movement (Shift + Hold Left Click) or I moved an NPC sometimes the map for players and myself would turn black like the map was unexplored. For me, it would dim to the DM Darkness Opacity. It didn't happen to everyone at the same time, it might happen to just one person or two people. If we refreshed the page it was fixed


Steps to Reproduce:  Someone just moves a token or GM does a focus ping

I am not sure this one is written down yet, but when I turn on dynamic lighting on a map that already exists, the players can see the whole map, just greyed out. Additionally, on occasion, the screen will just turn black for some players when lighting is updated. Thank you for reading, and working hard!

Hi Startraphell,


Was this game created before the Updated Dynamic Lightning release or after? And would you mind filling out the Bug Report Template so we can investigate further?

Please, please please report any issues you experience with this feature!

Console Log

April 19 (5 years ago)

Hey Casual Terror,

We were unable to reproduce this issue, could you give us more information? Perhaps some screenshots of your UDL settings and a console log? 

yes!


What you were trying to do:

I was trying to set up the new dynamic system on a new map for a game.I imported a map I'd made outside of roll20 on the map layer. (I maybe used the old dynamic system once? new game and new map since the system was introduced for sure) Looked up the tutorial documents, started filling in light blocking spaces, got the hang of the system. Added a random token and gave it light and vision to check how it looked, tried Ctrl-L, everything went fine. Had my lights set up, everything looked good.

Then I dragged a player token out of the character sheet pane to try and set that up. Wanted to try the blocking lines or whatever, so I put that on too.

What happened: (Screen shots are useful here!)

As soon as I added the player token, roll20 froze. Restarting the browser, logging in and out, trying to switch maps, always ends up unusable. Sometimes I can get out to one of my other maps in the campaign, sometimes not. If I go back to the map I was working on, I can't select tokens, change layers (to see dynamic lighting blockers or whatever), or anything. I can't even scroll the map!


Steps to Reproduce:

I have no idea, but it sucks that the map is all broken! I was prepping for my game tomorrow and I was so excited to try out the new features in a stealthy dungeon! Now this might mean I can't run at all, I don't have enough time to set this all up again!

  • When a token with Night Vision is at the edge of a lit area, there is a gradient at the edge of the lit area before the night vision begins.

Hi!


This is currently on the to-do list of bugs. This is a crazy thought, but is it possible to somehow preserve the current behaviour as an option once it's fixed? It's actually how the Devil's Sight warlock invocation in 5e is supposed to function, and is not possible to represent with Legacy lighting: you have perfect, bright vision in total darkness, but you only see dim light in dim light. That currently (buggy) gradient effect where dim light makes your darkvision WORSE is actually precisely how Crawford has RAI'd the Devil's Sight ability.

Edge case, I know, and probably not suitable for a button all to itself, but it'd be cool if it could still somehow be preserved. Thanks!

Just wanted to note that my players, 4 of them, could wander around the map but my gpu as the gm was ready to melt through the floor. I had to force close roll20 to get control of my computer back. I didn't see my problem (Massive GPU overload) On the list so wanted to note it.

What you were trying to do:

Play the game using the new lighting features.

What happened: 

Various Players and myself (Gamehost/DM), experience extremely slow page updating, unresponsive pages, and massive slowdowns using the new lighting.

Additional bugs:  Dynamic lighting randomly ceasing to function resulting in complete darkness.

Steps to Reproduce:

Simply playing the game using the new Beta Lighting.

I am a GM and we experienced identical issues tonight (4/19/20). I was forced to disable the new dynamic lighting for my map after a half hour of delay caused by these same issues. Disabling the dynamic lighting removed an hour and a half of work on the lighting and made a major encounter super easy because everything was just revealed.

We are currently playing with it and have NUMEROUS issues. Players projecting light ALSO project their dim light. Tokens set with Night vision can actually see the dim light causing the players that cast light to have a halo of darkness cast around them at the end of their light range. Also on many occasions  moving a token causes the entire light layer to be exposed until randomly fixing itself. Clearly there are several bugs in the system that still need worked out. I believe our group will be going back to legacy settings if possible until its ironed out.

Hello Aaro E.- 
I was testing this, but I'm unable to reproduce. As the GM, I can still see items (in a translucent state) on the GM Layer with Control+L, like the Legacy lighting system. But as a Player, things on the GM layer are hidden.

Can you point me to the Game (even just the name of the game) and Page where you had this problem?

I'm a fairly new Pro subscriber.  I've been enjoying Roll20 to run my games for a few months now. I use a few APIs- TokenMod, GroupInitiative, Torch, 5e OGL Companion.  I've run 3 games since this last update.  They've all been a glitchy trainwreck.  Players seeing two of their own tokens- one of which I can't see.  Completely broke their 5e character sheet.  Initiative not loading properly. Dragging items from Compendium doesn't work. Last night, one of my players could see the ENTIRE map when loading a new dungeon with dynamic lighting.  Tokens.  Secret doors.  Traps.  The while thing.  It was an 11 year old kid.  How do you think the meta-gaming went with that?

Some of these problems resolve when I tell my players mid-game to log off, download Firefox and use that instead of Chrome.  Wasting my time and especially theirs.  And please don't post "Can you give us specifics on what is happening so we can address them?"  The bottom line is your product worked fine 2 weeks ago.  Now it doesn't work very well.  I changed nothing.  You changed everything.

And by the way-- the new dynamic lighting tools DON'T EVEN WORK.  Nothing when I activate them.  Nothing.  They look like a shiny new placeholder for "someday in the future."  A placeholder that broke the client.

Why did you do this?  Serioulsly, why?  You rushed out a new system that doesn't even work and in doing so harmed the gameplay of so many people.  Was it for testing purposes?  Then test it on people who want to test it.  It's ridiculous that you pushed this out.

I had a thought for the first time yesterday after a frustrating session of glitches and having to scramble for answers while reducing my players emerson into their D&D experience.  You know what the thought was?  "I wonder how Fantasy Grounds is?"

You are a business.  Suddenly your product sucks.  As a new customer, I have short patience.

I want to come her and rant too, but can see everyone else has already done so, so I'll save my breath.

Please fix this as soon as you can!

What you were trying to do: Playing D&D 5e Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus. Using the Low Lantern battle map. Set the new dynamic lighting on along with explorer mode and daylight mode. Updated all tokens to work properly.


What happened: One of my players, and only one of them, reported that he lost all sight, everything went dark. This happened several times. It was easily fixed by me (the DM) moving his token back and forth, whereafter he got sight back as usually. This occurred when he simply sat and waited. He did not disconnect, but did mention that he had an unstable/slow internet. We will keep an eye on this bug, and if it happens again, I will try to fill out the rest of this bug report and reproduce the error. The following is all the information I have at this moment.

Hi, all.

This morning, we pushed some updates to A New Light:

In Updated Dynamic Lighting, when players reveal areas (by moving a token, for example), it is updated for the GM in real-time and vice versa. This change moves the system closer to parity with Legacy Dynamic Lighting features and fixes some existing issues, such as:

  • Using CTRL-L with Updated Dynamic Lighting no longer shows everything that's been revealed by anyone since the GM logged in.

Additionally, we fixed a couple of issues with Updated Dynamic Lighting:

  • Using Clear Fog twice stopped working
  • The Default Token Settings for Updated Dynamic Lighting were not being applied correctly.


The Known Issues list at the top of this thread has been updated.

April 21 (5 years ago)

Tried switching to the new lighting. Big mistake. Caused multiple players chrome to crash. One player could see through walls and the entire map. Anyone left idle for 10 seconds looses all range of view down to 1 meter. Game seemed to have massive lag issues. 

Switched back to the old lighting system. This system is far from ready for use. The old system thankfully is still up. 

I wouldn't recommend adopting the new system unless you are prepared to assist in the debugging of the new system....

Weird triangle appears in the upper left corner of all maps with lighting layers.  Character on left torch. Character on right has nightvision.

This update fixed a lot of the problems I had experienced. 

Congrats - the new options are so much easier to understand and use than in the legacy version. The new system isn't quite to where I would use it yet in a real game, but wanted to thank all of you for developing this new system. Looking forward to switching to it in the coming months!

Tried this and Control L still reveals entire map. This is in game with no players just characters that I as DM control if that makes a difference. 

Other than that I can see an improvement in the actual vision each different type of character has.

Popped in to say the latest update seems to have done something horrible to the new dynamic lighting, I'm running the Relic game from Cyborgprime Games, in last week's session the new dynamic lighting worked fine. 

Problems experienced this week;

very sluggish movement of tokens (both by players and GM)

some players can see all the map - with the same settings last week their view was limited as expected.

any movement of tokens is maxing out the GPU causing some players to lose control their token or their browser to just hang. One player found his machine hung displaying 'Loading...' while trying to enter the game.

(GM's machine is an 4-core I7-4790@3.6GHz, 16Gb memory, graphics is the Intel HD Graphics 4600 - nothing special, but was perfectly usable last week)

April 21 (5 years ago)

Not a big fan of the new Dynamic Lighting. Far too many glitches for my liking. The changes are not even worth the drawbacks in my book. I'm honestly really not happy with this new "update" as I'm finding it distracting when dynamic lighting is supposed to draw my players in. I'd like to see this fixed sooner rather than later. 

April 21 (5 years ago)

Edited April 21 (5 years ago)

So I already posted on page 4 about performance issues with the new dynamic lighting. Any update on the terrible performance that GMs are experiencing from using it? My CPU jumps to 100% and the site becomes unresponsive for a good minute or so when a player does anything on the map. I made sure my browser was using my GPU and other changes to improve performance but it doesn't help. I am able to run some of the latest games on ultra high settings so its not my video card. 

We tried again last night in one of my campaigns and ditched the update dynamic lighting again after 5 minutes. 

Any update on performance improvements would be greatly appreciated. 

What you were trying to do:

Enable "Explorer Mode" in Dynamic Lighting

What happened: 

As soon as I enable Explorer Mode, the entire game will freeze. As a GM, I am unable to interact with any tokens, move around the map, or even adjust the map's scale. The error continues until I turn off Explorer Mode and restart the game. I have not tested this bug out with players in the game, so I do not know if it effects them in any way, but there's no way to run a game if I can't interact with my map.

Steps to Reproduce:

On any map, enable Dynamic Lighting and Explorer Mode.

i have moments where I truly hate your interface. Really. Really. Hate your interface. It is the single most counterintuiitive thing I have eve had to contend with. My players can all see the map. I cannot. What I do--they cannot see. What they do I cannot see. Any solutions would be appreciated as I am paying to use this site.heres a suggestion. A bright big reset defaults button in case I manage to hit the wrong thing and lose an entires nights game.,


So on the legacy version i could set up 'night vision' in a way that was dim light. Is there a way to do this on the current system because when i give night vision it just registers as bright light which i don't like. It'd be much better to have duel system where night vision has bright and dim light options.

Bug Report Template

So, I Dmed yeasterday with the new light system, that is a great improvement over the past one although in the end of this post I will recommend two new functionalities, but for the bug report.

What you were trying to do:

Play a game that went by multiple homebrew maps

What happened: (Screen shots are useful here!)

I didn´t think of taking screenshots at the time, so I cannot reproduce the main bug, but I can show the secondary one


One of the characters confiigurations, important to say, none of them has darkvision


For the main and secondary bugs explanation

I prepared everything with the new light system, and tested it before session, everything seemed fine, I could control+L the tokens, and they were seeing what they were supposed to see just fine in multiple maps.

The session time comes and things start to become strange, as I control+L player characters that I had already tested before to verify a flaw on the new system, they are simple seeing nothing, but the players reports to me that they are seeing everything they are supposed to, so nothing wrong right? Just a bit weird.

So about the first flaw I mentioned, for some reason, the corners of the map were always showing parts of it although the dynamic lighning lines should be closing any vision to the corners.

Going on, after an hour of session, in a new map, players start reporting suddenly losing sight, they were just seeing, and as they moved their tokens, they are suddenly not seeing anything, all gray, like I was seeing when I tried to control + L them. I had to quickly switch back to the old light system, and that worked just fine.

Steps to Reproduce:

After preparing a whole map (With local, lamp tokens illumination - no global illumination or night vision), preparing the tokens, checking if everything is fine with control + L, get out of the roll20, wait for a time, and then comeback, it could happen that your characters won´t see the other tokens in front of them anymore, and the scenario will be show as explored, gray, but currently not having any light.

Down: 5.39 mpbs Up: 3.48 mbps and ping 11



Additional recommedantions

I know this is not the place for new feature recommendation, but since we are already talking about the new light system, there two things I wish to recommend.

I play Pathfinder 2e, in pathfinder 2e you have 3 actual levels of sight that really matter in the game, unlike 5e that in practice there are only 2 although it say it´s 3 levels.

I recommend that you should have an option to say a character have only up to low-light vision, or that it has bright light vision only, like the option you have to say it has night vision, on pathfinder 2e it matters a lot to have this differentiation as I explained before.

Second recommendation, as it is right now, if I want to take off a dynamic light from a door, I ahve to switch to the dynamic lightning screen, and more the drwaing off the door, if there could be an special feature for windows and doors easier to DMs to use, it would be great.

Just an add-ons to the problem list and funny things that might help explain some of the behaviour. Some of it may or maynot be DL related. :)

  • Hardware acceleration from Nvidia graphics card makes the game crash - turned off, no problem, just massive lag
  • The colour of the Explorer mode is very hard to see in DOTMM
  • Think its cool that tokens with nightvision shows where light sources ends. That makes it possible for a shadow monk to see where there is shadows.
  • The bleeding trough the wall is massive, and sometimes the PC can make sections of the dungeon visible, and you have no way to reset the area because the tools is tired to the old system. 
  • Just massive lag when exploremode is active. My honest guess is the server capacity/PC capacity ratio.
  • Massive oneway lag. When GM moves tokens it response quickly on the player PC, When the players move tokens the GM lags a lot
  • Seems like the "servers" spins down when VTT is not used for a while. Everything lags when i get back to the VTT after making dinner, but after I "activated all tokens not much lag.

just my 2 cent

Keep at it!!! I love roll20.


Hey Xeno - 

Would you mind providing us a report from https://webglreport.com/ so we can review your graphics settings? We definitely want to investigate your report of hardware acceleration issues with your Nvidia card.

sorry some of the text is white...

Not a bug per se, but will tokens in the compendium (I.E. Fire Elementals) be updated so that they automatically use the new settings or will we have to change the settings for each token we drag on to the VTT?

I believe that once the new system is up to par with the old (it is not yet) and it has run for a while without significant issue, things will automagically change over.

April 22 (5 years ago)

Worst update ever, whenever someone in my party moves the screen turns black until i move my token. This is happening to everyone in our game. 
What happens to me is that my "vision" moves to a part of the game i am not supposed to see to the left top corner of the map when this happens sometimes.

Is there a way to actually make D&D 5e darkvision. Low light to bright light, Darkness to Dim, and only visible to the player with these settings?

April 23 (5 years ago)

Edited April 23 (5 years ago)

What you were trying to do:

Using the new Lighting with Explorer Mode

What happened: 

One of our players was unable to see any of the tokens on his screen.  I added a new one and he could see that, so I had him flush his cache and reload and all tokens were gone when he reloaded.  He could click on his token and move it but there wasn't any visual update on his screen besides the token circles moving.  He ended up switching from Chrome to Firefox on a different laptop and we got through the session.  While preparing for this week's session I've been able to recreate the issue on the GM side to a T.  You can see in the screen shot that I've moved Musharib 3 squares to the right, but no updates.  If I disable Explorer Mode and refresh it works as expected.  Possibly related to the size/complexity of the map?  I tried to recreate it in a smaller map and only got the issue to happen if I had changed from the Red Wizard Camp map to it.  If I started out on that other map (TEST) it always worked without that issue, but I also noticed something strange that may be related, so I included the additional screenshot from that test where it appears Explorer Mode isn't lining up the "grayed out" map with the active one correctly, like it thinks they are different sizes.  The second screen shot is from me logged in as a Player instead of as GM.


Steps to Reproduce:

On Red Wizard Camp in the Tomb of Annihilation game, enable Dynamic Lighting and Explorer Mode.

When viewing map with CTRL-L (Character View) the map is screwed and all a mess. This was happening while I was adding the Dynamic Lighting Elements. I exited and got back in and it works right now. Not sure what was happening, but there is some glitch going on. 


This might be covered in this one:

  • In certain systems, images from the map layer are being distorted and skewed when viewed using Dynamic Lighting.


Speaking of the list If it was numbered we could reference a number with a comment. 


Thank you for all your work on this. 

Bob


 



Not sure if this was addressed before (?), but how to you prevent player from moving his token across light boundaries from dymaic lighting layer, when using new udpated dynamic light? Seem I can  move the token through walls and reveal part of the map that should not be visible.

Jay R. said:

I wasn't sure where to post this, since it doesn't technically involve the new lighting system, but I can report that in my current game, which features the legacy lighting system, I'm having the same Cmd-L problem others have reported here: namely, that when in Cmd-L mode with a player token, I can see objects on the GM layer. This is obviously not at all ideal.

Also, I'm baffled by the decision to release this new functionality when it is so clearly not ready for primetime. 


Hey Jay R. - 

Thanks for the feedback! We actually put out a fix for the issue with CTRL-L/CMD-L last week. Would you mind checking to see if it's resolved on your end, please?

Hello,

Another thing I have noticed is that the tokens I have set up to represent torches, on the lighting layer, do not have produce their light unless you move the token around. It's as if the lighting only kicks in for the first time when you "drop" the token.


Adding pictures to demonstrate the issues I am experiencing.

When I initially load the map:


After I move the light(yellow dot towards the bottom left):



Hey Kalagari - 

Just to check, were these tokens something you already had set up for legacy lighting and then switched over? Also, would you mind providing me the name of the game that this occurred with please? Thank you!  


Hello Nicholas,

This was set up ahead of time as part of the Princes of the Apocalypse module I purchased. I then went in and added the settings for the new lighting system, for this page.

link to the game: https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/4437899/pota

I am also curious if tokens in purchased modules will be updated to the new lighting system or if I will need to go in and update each and every map myself.

Thanks,

Kal

 



Hello Kalagari - 

Apologies, I just want to make sure I'm very clear on what you're experiencing. So you had this page set up for legacy, you switched everything over to UDL (both page settings and token settings), and you experienced what you've seen on the screenshot you attached, correct? Thanks in advance for your patience!

EDIT : First thing i try after making this post ( and failing to have anything working for 2h) and it works lol. 

EDIT 2 : It works on some maps, but not all. No Idea how to reproduce to make it work :/


Hi, I tried see if this was already reported, but i did not see it anywhere, sorry if i missed it !


What you were trying to do:

Enable the new dynamic lightning system on a custom battle map or existing map of the Storm king's thunder campain

What happened: (Screen shots are useful here!)

As a GM i sometime see the good vision range in a dark environnment, or the emited light, and sometime every thing is greyed out.

Lightning as a GM :

1 ) when i create it, 2) after changing player focus


What the player sees ( and what i see when i join as a player) :



Settings :
  


Steps to Reproduce:

Enable the lightning, put the player focus on the map, ( or stay on it if it was there already), set the vision and dark vision for the token, or the emited light.
The map is pitch black.

win 10 64bit, chrome last version, no add block

Hey Jeropa - 

For your report here, were you still having issues loading into that game? We were having a general issue with loading at the time of your report which might have been the cause of your problems.

Hey Michael P. - 

In regards to this post, just to confirm, are you referring to the visuals of how the candle's light is appearing in dark vision? Like how it appears as a dark circle?

Mike L. said:

Broken with the update:
- Players can see through chinks in dynamic lighting walls with the new system.
- The cog doesn't work on popped out NPC character sheets. Only when it is not popped out.
- Occasionally players lose visibility of all other tokens.
- Light sources that exist on all(?) official content don't work with the new system, and need to be set up manually.

Hey Mike L. - 

For your point regarding the cog, can you please confirm where you are referring? Perhaps, can you provide a screenshot just so I know exactly? In regards to the issue where players occasionally lose visibility, have you noticed it still occurring? If so, is it on a particular game?

Hey DM Joe - 

In regards to your point here, I just want to ask the same thing I asked Kalagari, just so I'm clear on what you're experiencing. You had a page set up for legacy, you switched everything over to UDL (both page settings and token settings), and you experienced what was seen on the screenshot Kalagari attached, correct?

Lots of crashes for all players,

My dark vision players would lose all sight when they moved



Hey Cruisocgr90 - 

Are you still running into the issue with your players losing dark vision? If so, can you provide me a full bug report, please? Also, can you confirm, does it seem to only occur when your players crash as you mentioned?

April 24 (5 years ago)


Hi guys!

I'm pretty excited for the new feature, but i have to report the poor performance of the new lighting in complex wall systems.

As shown in the follwing pictures, the old system seems to handle it correctly

Picture 1: new dynamic lighting

Picture 2: old dynamic lighting
