5th Edition Custom Sheet

1577115005

Edited 1577116029
I wanted to change our campaign's characters sheets to custom ones, for the sole purpose of renaming the "traits, flaws, bonds, ideals" sections on the front of the character sheet to fit a couple of custom mechanics we're doing.  Is there a way to get the code of the current  version of the D&D 5E by Roll20 sheet for customizing? The one I've been finding on Github seems to be an older less pretty version (maybe it doesnt have the dungeons and dragons styling??). Or an easy way to rename those sections that I'm not thinking of?

The code is here . You will need to install htm, css and the translation.json file. The last one is the one you likely need to change, if all you are doing is changing a label. Just change: "personality-traits-u": "PERSONALITY TRAITS", to  "personality-traits-u": "NEW NAME", Note: I have not tested this. Hopefully a character sheet guru will come by to correct any misapprehension on my part.
Thanks for the reply! I've figured out that part already, I was just hoping there was a way to get the sheet to look like the below version, with the DnD theme style, as opposed to the bottom picture, with the default style.

I would have assumed that was built into the sheet code and changeable on the settings, but I've never tried it. Do the settings on the game settings page disappear when you install the sheet manually?

No, you can't make the sheet(while using the sourcecode from GitHub) look like it does when selected from the dropdown. The art assets used for the sheet are .svg and hosted someplace internally by Roll20, and it's the only reason the sheet can look like it does. Even if you saved the .svg files somewhere else for using with the sheet, it wouldn't work as Roll20 Character sheets can't render .svg files, probably some security filter or something on Roll20's part. The 5E sheet presumably can use .svg files as they are hosted internally by Roll20.

Well shoot. You can't have both cake and ice cream then, Dridane. Sorry.

Also, the code for the "by Roll20" sheets isnt being publicly updated any more, they moved into  aprivate repository 3-4 months ago. So the only way to keep up with any new features they add to the sheets is to use the official one, and not a custom sheet. If you want something you can tailor to your own needs, you are best off picking one of the community sheets. Though some of them are pretty impenetrable and aren't really written with community updates in mind, sadly.
