[Script] RPGMaster APIs for AD&D 2E

Quick question on Jumpgate Richard, has the situation with the API been resolved yet, and how stable will the API be on a new Jumpgate campaign rather than a Legacy conversion? Richard @ Damery said: RPGMaster v5.0.0 Release The RPGMaster Suite is due to have a complete major release. v5.0.0 includes the brand new Commerce, Trading & Services system for AD&D2e, described in the post here . It's taken a period of beta testing to iron out a number of bugs - I don't promise for it to be bug free, especially when it hits character sheets I've not tested it with! However, it has worked successfully in several games with my group. After the APIs have automatically upgraded (if you loaded them from the Roll20 Mod Library) or you have updated them manually (you can check the version by looking at the Release Notes handout), you will need to convert data in the character sheets to make best use of Peter B.'s excellent Advanced D&D 2e sheet: the conversion will occur only when characters undertake a Long Rest (so as not to interrupt game play at a critical moment!) so I recommend the GM enables Long Rests using either the [End of Day] macro bar button or the [Maint Menu] macro button, or using the !init --end-of-day or !init --maint commands, and then get all the characters to do a long rest (using either the Spell Menu > Long Rest  action, or the Rest  action, or the !magic --rest  command. There is not really a need to convert Creatures or NPCs - and in fact Characters will work fine without the conversion: the conversion just allows items equipped to be listed sorted by type to make them easier for players to find and use. All Drag & Drop  NPCs & Creatures (including the new Traders, Trainers, Schools & Service Providers) created after v5.0.0 is loaded will, of course, use the new structures on the character sheet from the start, and will not need conversion. I'll put out abother post when everything has been merged into the Roll20 core, and put the full release notes here. In the mean time, I'm happy to take questions about the new release.

I've been running a campaign in Jumpgate for about 4 weeks, and everything seems stable so far.  Not experienced any of the problems previously seen, even after several hours of game-play with the APIs.  Targeting of tokens seems to heve been resolved. Have a go, but I suggest ensuring you retain non-Jumpgate versions of campaigns for a little while, though if you play for long periods in the Jumpgate versions it becomes a pain to rebuild the characters and creatures in the non-Jumpgate versions if you have to revert.
