[Script] Tongues - a simple language script

getting an error code For reference, the error message generated was: SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /[dwarvish/: Unterminated character class SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /[dwarvish/: Unterminated character class at new RegExp (<anonymous>) at apiscript.js:18702:27 at Function._.each._.forEach (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/underscore/underscore.js:182:9) at translate (apiscript.js:18701:11) at commandSpeak (apiscript.js:18686:25) at handleInput (apiscript.js:18908:21) at eval (eval at <anonymous> (/home/node/d20-api-server/api.js:151:1), <anonymous>:65:16) at Object.publish (eval at <anonymous> (/home/node/d20-api-server/api.js:151:1), <anonymous>:70:8) at /home/node/d20-api-server/api.js:1634:12 at /home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:93:560

It's because you have "[dwarvish]" in the name of your language.  Many punctuation marks have special meaning to regular expressions and this script is not escaping them.  It could be fixed in the script, but in the interim removing the punctuation from your language name should fix it.

thank you!

Anyone have a Druidish language handout? I'm not really sure what that would look like if making my own. And I'm lazy. There, I said it.

Because the new/updated editor sucks, I can't post screenshots so bear with me. I ran across a small error in the script. I am logged in as GM and, in another browser, as a test player. When I use the script (GM screen; Ariel token) I get the expected chat output: Ariel:  Diel fa thori'dal do Shando. O fandu. 7:21PM (From Tongues - GM):  [Elvish] This is something in Elvish. I think. However, what my test player (Jack Ryan) sees is incorrect: Ariel:  Diel fa thori'dal do Shando. O fandu. (From Tongues [Jack Ryan]):  Ryan [Elvish] This is something in Elvish. I think. Clearly, it was not Jack Ryan speaking. It was Ariel. Also, the "Ryan [Elvish]" part doesn't need the "Ryan" either. Any idea why this is happening?

It says [Jack Ryan] because that is the character that is hearing the message.  That lets you distinguish who heard something if you have more than one character. It has Ryan on the front of the message because it isn't quoting the speaker, so the message it sent was: /w Jack Ryan [Elvish] This is something in Elvish. I think. which interpreted only the first part of the name as the character/player to find.

sounds like your test player does not have the language set as known on the language handout

Any Ideas what im doing wrong? Followed the instructions perfectly I think. EDIT: Tried adding them both manually typing and VIA the automated way of the script neither seem to work as a player.

Try formatting the GM notes part as Code. Sounds weird, but was working to fix some other scripts...

the auto way requires link sheets and the manual way needs the exact sheet name 

Seems to work when there is only one character but as soon as i put a second it does not work. The Aaron said: Try formatting the GM notes part as Code. Sounds weird, but was working to fix some other scripts... How would that look?

lordmage said: the auto way requires link sheets and the manual way needs the exact sheet name  Sheets are linked, it puts just puts Bardin Brighthammer in the notes

Think it might have something to do with the new text editor? It seems to happen when I use a Comma and then a space you can see the whole text box glitch for second and then I cant even get one player to register without clearing the whole thing closing it going back in. Very strange.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I think. which interpreted only the first part of the name as the character/player to find. This behavior doesn't make sense to me. If I'm the player playing Jack Ryan, what scenario would allow me to see something in the chat that Jack doesn't hear? And if this is the case, shouldn't it read "to Jack Ryan" for clarity? 

If you had two characters and one understood the language being spoken and the other did not, you’d still get two messages, but one would have the translation and the other would have the message about thinking it’s some language.  The “To name” things is just a stylistic choice the author didn’t make, you’d have to take that up with them. 

Anyone get the script to work with multiple characters yet?

If it helps, it appears the script is picking up the formatting from the GMnotes box and is then adding it to the character name so that they don't then match: ["<p><a>Anthellind","100%"] ["</a><a> </a><a>Gitz","100%"] ["</a><a> </a><a>Laskra","100%"] ["</a><a> </a><a>Corbin","100%"] ["</a><a> Memdahl","100%</a> <br></p>"]

Changing this line: var languageSpeakers = gmnotes.split(','); to: var languageSpeakers = gmnotes .replace(/<.*?>/g,'') .split(','); should fix that.

It worked kind of still doesn't identify multiple people. Works for the first person listed. The Aaron said: Changing this line: var languageSpeakers = gmnotes.split(','); to: var languageSpeakers = gmnotes .replace(/<.*?>/g,'') .split(','); should fix that.

What does the text you insert for multiple people look like?

Morthos:100%,  Himo:100%

Looks like the text is getting Hyperlinked somehow? Edit: I got it figured out I had an unnecessary space in between sorry for the bother

Ah, you could fix that with: var languageSpeakers = gmnotes.replace(/<.*?>/g,'').split( /\s*,/s*/ );

I'm loving this script! Thanks Sarkamist! I had asked for a Druidic translation/dictionary a few days ago but no one seems to have made one (or hadn't shared yet) so I made one myself. I used Gaelic since it seemed more authentic. It's got a nice difference from the other languages. Here it is for anyone else who may want it.

I've noticed that when I try "!tongues --set (name)", it adds the selected token's character name in the handout, but it adds a "null" before the name. Is that normal behaviour ? Noticed the same, any solution to this?

New version available here . I hope I fixed the errors reported lately on this post. v4.5.2 - Bugfixes &amp; One-Click Install Hopefully fixed all the bugs related to handout parsing. I've been asked to add the script to One-Click install feature and I'm working on it. Thank you all!

Before I go breaking anything, I figured I'd ask: Can I move the Tongues language handouts to a folder and still have them work? Or do they need to remain on the root?

I'm sure you're fine to move it.&nbsp; The folder structure in Roll20 is invisible to the API without explicitly looking for it.

Hello Ben, Having all my handouts in a folder I can assure you that it's ok! :)

Anyone else having an issue with the new version of the script? It keeps crashing my API Sandbox with this error

Anthony V. said: First of all try with a larger word like "crossbow" for example. The script works downwards, if you input a 6 character length word and there are no words available for that length, it will search for a 5-length word and so on. If the script can't get any words it replaces the characters with ?. So make sure words of a different length are getting translated correctly and look for any error on 3, 2, and 1-length words format (correctly closed [ ] and commas). If you can't find any of those, make sure it happens on every language you try or only with your Celestial handout. Come back to me with a screenshot of any languages that fail to translate for you if you can't figure out any of the possible problems I explained.

Seems fine to me:

For those for whom it is working, have you edited your language handouts since them editor update?

Terrelle S. said: Seems fine to me: you're using the newest version posted 3 days ago right? EDIT: If i go back to an older version it works fine for translating but still doesn't register more than the first person listed in the handout.

Sorry, i'm still running 4.5.1 The Aaron said: For those for whom it is working, have you edited your language handouts since them editor update?

Installed 4.5.1 after the editor update and everything worked fine. After I updated Tongues to 4.5.2 it crashed with the error posted above. So, I tried to recreate Orcish and this is what I get after updating the handout with the translation: 2:15PM (From Tongues): &nbsp;L. (GM) Orcish language template succesfully created! 2:17PM The Ancient One: &nbsp;???? ?? ? ??????? 2:17PM (From Tongues - GM): &nbsp;[Orcish] What am I saying? I had saved the translation in Notepad++ and pasted into the handout editor. There's definitely a huge bug here. Since the previous version (4.5.1) seems to still work, how do I find it? I don't know how to find it on github if it's possible.
