I found Tracker Jacker to be a nice tool but I wanted custom marker tokens to be supported so I dove in. I have been able to update TJ to support whatever tokens you have in use in your game as well as a few other functionality updates. Here is the list of what I have updated as of the time of this posting: Change Log:
2020-09-12 - Updated heavily to pull all token markers enabled in
the campaign and make them useable for condition/status effects 2020-09-12 - Added -cleanSlate command (!tj -cleanSlate) to
completely wipe all persistent state data should not be used lightly but
if effects get stuck in the system this will clear them 2020-09-20 - Added EOT link to turn indicator 2020-09-20 - Added mouseover text to token marker selector list 2020-09-25 - Added the ability to display favorites alphabetically,
it remains in the first in first out order by default. To get an
alphabetical list change !itp -listfavs to !itp -listfavs 1 2020-11-18 - Added the ability to save and load favorite. The save
creates a Handout called "TJFavsJSON", the load looks for that handout
and loads the JSON from it. 2020-11-22 - The first actor's turn is now announced when starting the tracker. 2020-11-22 - Added the ability to change the initiative indicator (spinning green thing by default) to any other image. 2020-11-23 - Submit current codebase to Roll20's Script repository in the hopes of becoming a one-click API script. 2020-11-23 - Updated initiative round indicator to have Play, Stop and Pause buttons instead of ? and ?? 2020-11-23 - Changed references to Tracker Jacker to Initiative Tracker Plus. I am doing this to differentiate the new and drastically changing codebase from Ken L.'s original codebase so users that are happy with OG Tracker Jacker can continue to use it without confusion. 2020-12-02 - Added a command to clear all statuses from a token. `!itp -dispmultistatusconfig removeall` while the token(s) are selected, or a button appears on the edit message as well. 2020-12-02 - Some minor code cleanup to make it easier for me to work with. 2020-12-04 - Added `!itp -purge` alias to remove all statuses Examples of functionality. Click the images to see the actual animations. Default turn indicator: An example alternate turn indicator, this can be made from just about any image though many will look bad as animated backgrounds. Example of the turn changing to a player and the chat notification: Example of effects on tokens counting down and announcing the effects in chat on turn changes. If you apply a status with no status marker only the DM is whispered the affect on turn change. Here is a list of things I'd like to do with it, in no particular order: Bugs:
Figure out and fix what is causing occasional crashes when using
!group-init (another API script) to add groups of monsters to
initiative. Still trying to learn enough to reproduce the issue on
demand. - I've been unable to reproduce this for several long sessions, I believe the issue is resolved.
Features Wishlist:
Add clickable on Turn Notification marker list to remove each
marker. Perhaps where the duration is currently displayed and bump
duration to the left a little. Create Favs categories???
create categories (hard coded?) assign categories via changefav and addfav list favorites categories (listfavcats?) list favorites BY category (listfavbycat?)
Link conditions to a parent condition on another token (specifically
for things like "blessed" linked to "concentration" and the like) My branch can be found here (will no longer be supported): <a href="https://github.com/jaculpiii/Roll20_API_Scripts" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jaculpiii/Roll20_API_Scripts</a> Now Available on the One-Click API List as Initiative Tracker Plus The latest development code (not necessarily tested / functional) is here: <a href="https://github.com/jaculpiii/roll20-api-scripts/tree/master/InitiativeTrackerPlus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jaculpiii/roll20-api-scripts/tree/master/InitiativeTrackerPlus</a> Feel free to let me know if you find any bugs and I'll try to fix what I can, I'm also open to listen to feature suggestions. Keep in mind, I am an amateur with javascript so my code may be somewhat clumsy but so far it appears functional. Current Readme.md
From Ken L's original Tracker Jacker script.
An attempt to modernize Tracker Jacker and add new functionality as it becomes desired.
