[Script] 5e Shaped Support Script

@Brunhine: I can't take credit for this macro. It was created by someone else for use with the original importer script. I updated it to work with this one though. It'll bring up a query.  All you have to do is start typing the name of the monster you're looking for. !shaped-import-monster --?{Select Monster|Aarakocra|Aboleth|Abominable Yeti|Acolyte|Adult Black

@Kaelev: I like this... I might have an idea for this actually... great, now I'm getting no sleep.... Thanks!

I believe having more sheets in a campaign makes it significantly more laggy. I would not recommend importing near 600 sheets. showTargetAC is off by default, right?

Kryx said: I believe having more sheets in a campaign makes it significantly more laggy. I would not recommend importing near 600 sheets. showTargetAC is off by default, right? <whistles nonchalantly whilst quietly adjusting the defaults to a more sensible value> And yes, --all seems batty to me as well, but apparently people wanted it.

Lol. I get it I get it. Perhaps it wasnt smart to want to import everything..... 

Version 0.4: Brunhine's Config UI (Thanks!), --all import (use with extreme caution!), modified replace/overwrite behaviour Brunhine has written a simple UI to help people struggling with my techy CLI for changing configuration options. If you run !shaped-config on its own it will be displayed, and it is displayed after you set each config option !shaped-import-monster now supports a --all option. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. This will import every monster that you have defined in the JSON files into your campaign - that could easily be hundreds of new characters. It will take a long time, and will go in batches of 20 to avoid crashing the API. !shaped-import-monster and !shaped-import-statblock will now look for characters with the same name as the one being imported and fail if one is already present. This avoids the accidental creation of duplicates. If you want to replace an existing character, you should pass the new --replace option !shaped-import-monster now allows you to import multiple monsters with a token selected. In this case it will set the avatar of the created/updated characters to be that of the selected token, but won't set the token to represent any of the characters If you have a linked token selected and you run !shaped-import-statblock,  or  !shaped-import-monster  with a single monster listed on the command line, it will fail unless you specify --overwrite. If you do specify --overwrite, it will overwrite the existing linked token with the newly imported character. Note that the difference between --overwrite and --replace is that overwrite  will only overwrite a linked token - it will not replace characters by name. --replace is quite aggressive, and you are advised to use it with caution - it has the potential to overwrite a lot of information, particularly when used to import multiple monsters at once. Using it with --all  is VERY DANGEROUS . You have been warned! It sounds a bit complicated, but hopefully this should actually be a bit more intuitive in practice. Let me know if you have any problems.

For !shape-config commands, do we need to run them on each monster we import or is it a one time thing?

Kaelev said: For !shape-config commands, do we need to run them on each monster we import or is it a one time thing? The config commands set the default value for any new character sheet, which means it should set these values for any monster imported.

Kaelev said: For !shape-config commands, do we need to run them on each monster we import or is it a one time thing? They are a one time thing.   All of the "new character" options are applied to every new character sheet you create, and all "token" options are applied to the token you have selected when you import stats and associate to a character sheet. 

JSON formatter for Curse of Strahd Monsters for Monster Importer:  Anyone have any cool tools/excel formatting to take a stat block and turn it into a JSON formatted file? I was going to start working on putting together the Curse of Strahd Monsters, for personal use of course. Let me know... Thanks.

I was going to start working on putting together the Curse of Strahd Monsters, for personal use of course. Let me know... Thanks. Actually, anyone who can get npm and gulp set up on their machine can do this using the test framework of the script. If you stick .txt files in the test/data directory and run 'gulp test' it will create corresponding .json files in the same directory. It would be trivial to stitch them together into one file afterward.

I actually just created an excel sheet with the formatting, but I have some questions and need someone to check the JSON output.  I created it for custom monsters and so I have something to use that doesn't require any installation or Internet.  I personally don't mind typing stuff in; I hate copying and pasting stat blocks because of all the parsing that has to be done. 

Version 0.4.1 - Fixed archmage * spells (but JSON files are still wrong - these should be updated soon) Version 0.4.2 - Custom JSON/JS support for adding new monsters and spells To add new monsters or spells, you need to create a JSON file that matches the samples in the github project - look at resources/srdSample.json for an example of the monster JSON. There are lots of examples of the spell JSON kicking around as well - PM me if you have trouble finding them. Once you have a JSON that you are happy with, you need to register it with the script by creating a new API script with the following contents: on('ready', function() { ShapedScripts.addMonsters(PASTE YOUR JSON HERE); }); You can substitute 'addSpells' if you are adding spells. Please note that your JSON needs to include a version number like the existing samples, i.e.: { "version": "0.1.1", "monsters": [ //Monster objects go here ] } The current format versions are 0.1.1 for monsters and 0.1.2 for spells. I'm looking at introducing some validation that will provide more helpful feedback if you get things wrong in your JSON.

Found another spell import issue: mephit innate spellcasting. Each have one spell but it's not formatted the same as other instances of innate spellcasting. Easy to fix on the user end though, since it's just one spell. Another random thing I noticed is that a very small minority of creature's attacks don't import. Examples: the Balor and the Spine Devil.

Hmm the --all does nothing in my game.

Rick V. said: Hmm the --all does nothing in my game. Hi Rick, What's the exact command you are runnning? Do you get any log output? Oh - and what version of the script are you on (it gets printed in the log if you're in doubt) Lucian

It gives back version 4.1. Got it just from Github. !shaped-import-monster --all --replace and tried !shaped-import-monster --replace --all

What log output do you get from the API?

Nothing. Not even en error in chat.

Could you try turn on TRACE level logging (use the config UI) and see what logging it gives you?

Oh - and make sure to resave the script after you turn on TRACE logging to restart the API

Could you send me a campaign invite so I can have a look?

It decrements in the roll, but not on the sheet, I had to make another character sheet for it to effect the field.

Couldn't be happier at the moment.  This has made campaign set up so much easier... One small snag I ran into while importing deep gnome.  To import Deep Gnome  you have to type !shaped-import-monster  --Deep Gnome (Svirfneblin).  I had to go to the code to find out that the (Svirfneblin) was there.  Might hang some people up.

Just had another case where the script import function stopped working on a campaign. It happened when I was clicking import on a character sheet. My suggestions to folks importing large amounts of npcs: 1. After setting up the settings, !shaped-import-monster everything but don't use the --all function.  Instead, pre set up a text file to input them in batches that align to a folder tree structure. Do not click import on the character sheets yet since that is what caused the script to crap out on me twice. 2. Put the stuff in the aforementioned folder tree. It runs fine when it's in folders. No slow down with about 12 or so to a folder or subfolder. 3. When everything is set up in folders, make a back up. You can transmorgify stuff in with it later if !shaped-import-monster craps out. 4. Now go to each sheet and click import.

Now go to each sheet and click import. Yeah, this is kind of frustrating. I've seen it happen occasionally. There appear to be two related problems: You can kill the API server with the script itself - especially with --all - and it just stops responding to commands. This is almost impossible to debug because I get no warning, no output and no access to object/memory dumps to see what's going on. If you put the API into an infinite loop, you get this behaviour. Log output is only sent once each command completes, so it looks like nothing is happening. Now, as far as I am aware, there's nothing in the monster import that could get into an infinite loop, and if this was the problem, I would expect it to be reliably repeatable but I will recheck the code to be sure. The only other thing I can think is that  perhaps I'm leaking objects somewhere along the line and repeated imports are eventually exhausting the memory of whatever VM/sandbox the thing runs under. I would have expect to see some sort of error message (you certainly get one if you overflow the stack, for example), but I guess it's possible that it just slowly sulks and dies instead. There are a couple of things I can do to try and reduce the memory footprint of the script, and I can do some analysis to look for possible object leaks as well, but without the right tools it's really just stabbing in the dark. It also seems possible to kill the client. Sending *lots* of chat messages at once to the client locks it up hard, for example. I've also noticed that deleting a creature with lots of attributes (e.g. Lich with lots of spells) can take a long time. I believe that there's a bug where deleting attributes is triggering sheet workers incorrectly, so --replace may be stressing the client more than it needs to. When importing big creatures I'm sure you've all noticed how long the sheetworkers take to complete the import. It wouldn't at all  surprise me if the Roll20 client has object leaks and slowly dies if you do too much with it. There's not a lot I can do about this. I guess Kryx could take a look at the sheetworkers and see if he can streamline any of them, but I suspect that most of the problem lies on the Roll20 side :-(

@Lucian: Why did you setup each spell as an option with --? For example: " !shaped-import-spell --Fireball --Cure Wounds " Why not a comma separated list like " !shaped-import-spell --Fireball, Cure Wounds ". That would make it much easier to copy + paste from the monster manual or another source. Plus I think an array type syntax makes more sense.

That would make it much easier to copy + paste from the monster manual or another source. Plus I think an array type syntax makes more sense. I have a generic command parser that recognises anything that starts with -- as an option. I then have an option handler registered with it that attempts to parse otherwise unrecognised options by comparing them with the spell list, so this made it simpler. I guess there's no reason why I couldn't have it split each option on ',' as well. I'll look at it when I've finished what I'm currently working on. As to making more sense... well there are a lot of GNU CLI utilities that work this way, so I'm not sure I'm completely out there. At least I didn't make you do " !shaped-import --spell:Fireball --spell:Cure Wounds "  :-P Cheers,

Version 0.4.3:   More JSON improvements + Brunhine's Entity Picker Requires updated JSON files! So, for all you would-be house-rulers and customisers, I've made the JSON loading process a little more robust and a little more friendly. When you import monsters it now validates them on load and reports errors. There have been some changes to the format and also to the API for adding them: The format is now self-describing and requires a version number: {  "version":"0.2",  "monsters": [ {....} ] } To add files you now call a single method: ShapedScripts.addEntities(JSON GOES HERE); in an on('ready') handler as described in my previous posting.  There are new versions of the example files available that use this new system If your JSON file has an additional top-level property "patch":true , it will be treated as a patch to existing information: It will amend a spell/monster that exists with the same name Properties in the patch file will overwrite those in the existing spell or monster Properties not specified in the patch file will remain the same You can change the name of a monster/spell by including a "newName" property in the patch object You can remove a spell/monster entirely by including a single property "remove":true in the patch object The monster JSON is validated and will display errors in chat if there are problems. Spells are not yet validated but probably will be soon Brunhine has kindly added another piece of UI to the script. If you call !shaped-import-monster or !shaped-import-spell with no parameters, it will display a button that allows you to launch a roll query with a list of all available monsters/spells - useful for those hard-to-type monsters or when you can't find quite the right form of the name

This is frustrating.  I've done the repeating field, and I'm still getting the error. One character sheet works, while others don't.

Hey Peter, There's a new version of the script that has slightly better logging in this area. Could you update (you will also need the latest JSON files as well, sorry) and see if you get anything more helpful in the logs so we can try and resolve this? Thanks,

Thanks, Alright, with the new version, It's stating "ShapedScripts 1459801389004 ERROR : No ammo attribute found corresponding to name Arrows" How would I solve this. It's odd that it's working for one character, but not others. I've tried to compare the two attributes, but I don't see any differences. Note, I don't have the JSON, as by the script's description, it's not necessary,  as I don't need the spells or monsters.

Hi Peter, Ok, that's progress. Next step: add the following as a new script to your campaign: on('chat:message', function(msg){     if(msg.content === '!dumpChar') {         var characterId = getObj('graphic', msg.selected[0]._id).get('represents');         log(findObjs({type:'attribute', characterid:characterId}));     } }); Then select a token that represents the broken character and run !dumpChar from the chat window. Go back to the API log, and find the line that has the list of attributes. It will be very long and look something like this: [{"name":"strength","current":"10","max":"","_id":"-K9wwmJWAlcrM01cpHir","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-K9wwhAhpV2M7FO5ctpy"},{"name":"strength_mod","current":0,"max":"","_id":"-K9wwmJcKS9mUeOsttRs","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-K9wwhAhpV2M7FO5ctpy"},{"name":"dexterity","current":"16","max":"","_id":"-K9wwmJiP7bhzMMm2-gQ","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-K9wwhAhpV2M7FO5ctpy"},{"name":"dexterity_mod","current":3,"max":"","_id":"-K9wwmJtE_FYW9DEFqL9","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-K9wwhAhpV2M7FO5ctpy"},....... Could you PM me that line? With that hopefully I'll be able to solve the problem. Failing that I might not you to invite me as a GM in your campaign, but lets see how we get on with this first. Cheers, Lucian

PS You are right - the JSON is not necessary. I only mentioned it because if you were using it, upgrading the script requires you to upgrade the JSON.

So, good news, I just changed the token to represent the correct character. I had several copies of the same token so I hadn't kept up with it. and it seemed to have fixed the issue. It was probably using the sheet I first assigned to it, which is why it couldn't find the field.

Great! I'm glad that you've managed to get it sorted!

The all command just returns the query macro for me. :(

Saevar L. "Liquid-Sonic" said: The all command just returns the query macro for me. :( I'd strongly advise against using it anyway - I'm thinking of removing it. It will probably kill your API sandbox and will make your campaign very laggy afterwards. Importing nearly 600 monsters in one go is generally not a clever thing to do.

Comment it out. with a note about removing the comment - if you do this... you are at fault. period  :D

Is there a place where I can find JSON files? I only saw a limited list in the test area, and googling didn't turn up anything for me, unfortunately. I'm assuming we just add the JSON file to our list of API scripts, correct?

Version 0.4.4: Automatic HD processing When you roll HD, it decrements them automatically, unless this would take you below zero, in which case it prints a warning in the chat. If it decrements the HD, it will also apply the rolled HP to your current HP total. Also, for Kryx, because I guess he deserves it: you can now pass monsters and spells as comma separated lists if you want to. It will try each parameter as a complete string first, in case anyone adds monsters with commas in the name, and if that doesn't match, it will split on commas and match like that. If somehow you end up with a spell or a monster with a comma in the name, be sure to use the full -- syntax to avoid ambiguity.
