Character Sheet attr ID creation

I came across a browser plugin that might allow me to upload character sheet data: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roll20-character-import-export/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roll20-character-import-export/</a> If I have a character sheet filled out I can export the data and it saves it in json which I can then import again. The json output looks like: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "attribs": [ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "name": "missilehitbonus", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "current": "2", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "max": "", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "id": "-M4PN1EoB0KkDvGy-lDk" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "name": "maxhench", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "current": "6", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "max": "", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "id": "-M4PN1EqbSSRQ0eI62iL" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }, My question is how are the IDs being generated? I asked this question at the discord server for that plugin's support. They said it was created by roll20. I would like to go from some markdown and then create the necessary json that I can then upload. When I try to create a string of 19 random characters [-A-Za-z0-9_]{15} that seems to conform to the IDs I've found so far the import of that json fails. I also noticed that the leading 4 characters seem to be repeated for all IDs. Grabbing that from a character sheet export and then creating a 15 character string to append to that for the various attribs didn't work either.

This is apparently how roll20 generates the UUIDs: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/4258551/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/4258551/</a> If you use a similar method to create yours, they should be valid. Though its not guaranteed- maybe that extension will only work for characters which have been created within roll20.&nbsp;

GiGs, thanks for the link. I'll check it out and see what happens.
