If you are using the shaped-script, I would suggest only having prepared spells on your sheet. It speeds it up not having extra spells. Later levels you can quickly approach the max your should have with only prepared spells, then having not prepared on the sheet just slows the whole thing down.
Yeah, I get the "Over the limit" announcement a lot, we are level 17th now, three full and two partial spellcasters on the party.
I do use the shaped script, but I still haven't found a way to allow my players to handle spellbooks, i.e. adding and removing spells and remembering which spells they actually know. Is there a Grimoire api script somewhere?
Is there a way to manually add it to an attribute and just update it each tier as the proficiency dice increase?Unless it's changed, the only way to manually change PB is through attributes & abilities tab

Is there a macro or anything I can use to turn off the Rage Bonus modifier when my barbarian ends his rage? I can access the name and a couple other items using @{NAME|repeating_modifier_$0_name} but I can't find documentation on that toggle.

Any thoughts about the Charactermancer? Do you think support for it will be possible in the future?

https://bitbucket.org/mlenser/5eshaped/wiki/Creating%20and%20Linking%20Character%20Abilities#markdown-header-barbarian - because it is a modifier all you have to do is turn it on when the barbarian enters rage and turn it off when the rage ends.
!setattr --sel --repeating_modifier_-Kxv0jsJJbqVj2TOmOUx_active|1 !token-mod --set statusmarkers|strongYou will need to get the ID of the modifier check box, and instructions are in the documentation. Since there's no built-in macro for modifiers, you'll need to use the Inspector method. PM me if you need more help.

I haven't been able to look into the Charactermancer yet. At first glance the technical implementation seems strange and time consuming. If there is a demo video or something that may help me understand the usage.
Lucian and I briefly discussed adding a standard import structure for things like OrcPub built into the sheet. I'd be more inclined to do something like that.

Hey Kryx, I know you are busy, but when you get time can you tell me if you expect the PHB will work with this sheet? I'm not paying $50 for books I already have, but that $20 sounds juicy. I won't buy it if it isn't compatible though.
I just bought PHB. Sadly cannot drag and drop most of new compendium stuff. Charactermancer is also not available. Please let us know if we should report new issues related to PHB.

As Kryx said a few posts above, he will be (or already is) on vacation until mid July and therefore there will mostly likely be no changes to the sheet before then. But, reporting issues with the Charactermancer and/or PHB in the Issues Tracker will help Kryx to know what needs work once he is back.
I imagine that although Charactermancer support may take some time, Kryx will probably aim to work towards support for the PHB first, as he has done previously with other compendium updates.
Is anyone else seeing issues with Compendium drop since the most recent Roll20 update? It seems like dragging a monster direct from the compendium to the canvas no longer works properly (nothing populates). Creating a character manually and then dropping a monster from the compendium onto the sheet still works fine. I've seen this in both 18.1.9 and 18.1.11 on two different games. Hesitant to report it as a sheet bug because it seems like nothing has changed there since it worked - looks more likely to be Roll20 breaking something with the latest changes... but wanted to see if anyone else had noticed this as well...

Knowing roll20, they may have changed the compendium format on the code side to accommodate for the PHB, without warning Kryx beforehand ...

Just a friendly reminder that speaking on behalf of/predicting the actions of the Dev team is verboten as per the CoC
Lets keep all opinions our own ;)
Thanks
So, yeah, it looks like something pretty fundamental either changed without any warning, or there's a serious bug:
Given Ziechael's post above I will refrain from commenting further.
To set expectations:
I haven't played D&D 5e for ~6 months now. I've been incredibly busy with life stuff and play other games when I do have time for gaming (both board and video). This is unlikely to change in the near future.
I am committed to continue to maintain the Shaped sheet, as it is, but new feature development is likely beyond the effort that I'm willing to put in. If things can be hooked up with minimal effort then I'll pick them up, but I can't commit to large features. This process becomes complicated by the technical implementation/limitations/constantly changing API of Roll20's systems.
If some other developer wants to take up the effort of the sheet then I'm happy to add them as a contributor and merge PRs/do releases with the possibility of fully handing it off, but a developer able to pick it up is maybe unlikely.
If you want immediate PHB support then OGL is likely the sheet for you. I'll take a look in mid July, but depending on the size of the effort it may not be implemented on Shaped.
I understand Kryx. Given that I probably won't buy it then. I just don't like the OGL sheet. I tried it several times. This is just one man's opinion though.
Hey all, quick update on the issue I posted earlier. It would appear that this only affects people on high latency connections. If you live out in the middle of nowhere like me then you may find that compendium drag is now broken. I think it's going to need Roll20 to fix it, but I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has the problem to try and pin down exactly what circumstances trigger it.
It is broken for me as well and I live in the city with pretty good internet. When I drag monsters over nothing is converting.
Same here. Lucian's solution of dragging a compendium creature into an existing sheet works fine. :)
I can confirm that is also working for me. I created a new sheet and everything converted just fine.
Can someone please explain how to properly set up spells in the sheet for proper tracking? Maybe I'm being silly but I can't seem to set them up for proper tracking with the companion script. I've looked on the wiki and in the documentation but can't find an explanation for these fields? Love the sheet, been using it for 18 mo. but recently started using the companion script.
Hi Nyn, Have you turned on spell resource tracking in the spells section of your character's settings page?

So, I turned this on and it seems to be working as intended, what I really wanted to know is how do I set up the individual spell uses fields for correct tracking. It seems that no matter what I try it isn't working properly. Now, with nothing checked it pulls up the slots police and doesn't refresh on using the long rest macro button.
Hi Guys,
This may be old news to people here, but if you use the "hide" functionality of the sheet using the Stylish browser extension (as recommended by the Wiki) - and if you use Stylish in general - you may want to reconsider your choice if you care about privacy. https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/stylish-browser-extension-steals-your-internet-history/ There's an alternative called "Stylus" that does the same thing without the spyware. Kryx, since Mozilla (and probably Google soon enough) are now blocking Stylish for this reason, perhaps it would be better to update the wiki to recommend Stylus instead?
I saw that news as well. Agreed that stylish should be abandoned. Is stylus safe? If so, can you update the wiki? You have access.

As far as I am aware, Stylus is safe. It's a fork of Stylish that was created specifically to provide an alternative that respected users' privacy. I will update the wiki this afternoon.
