Character Sheet Enhancements!

"Hi Everyone, The baseline problems that this thread was originally created for have seem to have died down. As such, we are going to be closing this thread to better consolidate communications. We ask that anyone who has further loading issues with character sheets, please respond to this thread here instead . Thank you!" As far as I know, everyone who had loading issues when the change was made still has them, they just didn't want to repeat themselves.

Any status on the parsing issues or should we re-code workarounds?

Thanks for the update Nic.  The communication is very much appreciated.

Andreas J. said: I haven't noticed any problems with the sheet I converted to CSE, apart from maybe needing to be more specific with the CSS calls. Either wrap your whole sheet in an extra wrapper class, or add .charsheet in to the CSS file in front of stuff that doesn't work currently. charsheet div.grid-skill{ display: grid; gridtemplate-areas: "stuff otherstuff"; the css is not overwritten, I have already checked x times I had the problem once and then gave it to the roll20 support weritergegeben this then have probably fixed a problem <a href="https://github.com/Tealk/roll20-character-sheets/blob/ButterflyAspect/ButterflyAspect/ButterflyAspect.sass#L404" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Tealk/roll20-character-sheets/blob/ButterflyAspect/ButterflyAspect/ButterflyAspect.sass#L404</a> also I have a strange behavior of the input fields I then get an "undefined_undefined_xx" attribute, xx is then the correct name of the field have tested different variants but always the same result &lt;input type="number" name="attr_st"&gt; &lt;input type="number" id="attr_st" name="attr_st"&gt;

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges Still unable to drag rollable buttons in a repeating section to the Macro Quick access bar.

Finderski said: Still unable to drag rollable buttons in a repeating section to the Macro Quick access bar. It wasn't working on mine for a while, but it seems to be working for me now (I haven't updated the sheet and it is running on the legacy sanitization).&nbsp; Is the sheet you tested with running the legacy switch true, or false?

The parsing issues that cause special characters used within a button value attribute to get converted in the rendered html, still exist in CSE mode. This behavior breaks previously working sheet roll macros on the PF Community Sheet. sheet html &lt;button type="roll" name="roll_allmenus" class="command-button" value="/w &amp;quot; @{character_name} &amp;quot; @{allmenus_macro}" title="%{selected|allmenus}" data-i18n="all"&gt;All&lt;/button&gt; Legacy mode: rendered html copied form an open character using inspect element) &lt;button type="roll" name="roll_allmenus" class="sheet-command-button btn ui-draggable" value="/w &amp;quot; @{character_name} &amp;quot; @{allmenus_macro}" title="%{selected|allmenus}" data-i18n="all"&gt;All&lt;/button&gt; CSE mode: rendered html copied form an open character using inspect element) &lt;button type="roll" name="roll_allmenus" class="command-button btn ui-draggable" value="/w " @{character_name} "="" @{allmenus_macro} "="" title="%{selected|allmenus}" data-i18n="all"&gt;All&lt;/button&gt; The&nbsp;&amp;quot ; used within the button value breaks the value attribute which also breaks the macro. ;-( It appears that CSE similarly breaks the special character handling of button rolls that include nested queries.

Nic B. said: UrBurce: Which game are you having this problem on? Happy to investigate for you. Tony C: Is this true for all your games, or just specific ones? Every single game I'm in has some sort of lag problem, though the extent of the problems differs based on which browser I use (and the filesize of the sheet being opened but that just changes how long the circle spins) Here's a test game I made: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/10193763/dnd-sheets" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/10193763/dnd-sheets</a>

Nicholas said: Finderski - I haven’t been able to replicate these issue with the characters I’ve been testing on. What character sheet and repeating section roll button are you using perchance? It's a game I'm a player in with a potentially custom sheet, maybe? I tested with a sheet I maintain and it functions properly, so maybe something unique with that custom sheet. &nbsp;I'll try to get more details. Regarding the sandbox testing issue (every refresh returns the character to the Bio &amp; Info tab)...that's happening with my sandbox where I'm editing the Official Savage Worlds character sheet.

Nicholas said: Hey folks! Incoming updates to questions and reports that have come up: Vince - Outside of the nested queries question above, we’ll continue to review any other issues with the parser as soon as we can. Thanks for the updates Nicholas.&nbsp; No offense, but "...as soon as we can." sounds a little open ended and non-committal. ;-P For the sake of moving forward, I will probably remove any embedded quotes used inside of sheet macros, ie "&amp;quot;@{character_name}&amp;quot;" so I can take advantage of the new enhancements. If/when the CSE sheet parsing issues are fixed, I can add them back in to prevent character names with spaces from breaking sheet-based macros.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With a character sheet I still have the problem that the input fields do not work. &lt;input type="number" name="attr_st" /&gt; The old values are not displayed and when I enter new values I get the following output in the attributes: undefined_undefined_st And what does that actually mean? I've been using the bar for ages for character sheet rolls Integrated macro bar for character quick attacks, including pop out windows

Nic B. said: but I did notice that you're wrapping your attributes section in two divs with the class "repitem" and "repcontainer" respectively. yes there I wanted to save me work in the stylesheet, I'll change that times and test it //edit yes that was the problem, once I changed the classes it works

Since this update I cannot drag and drop from the compendium to a character sheet. My sheet opens in a pop-up window and I'm using Chrome. Please can someone assist?

It's been about two months since the setWithWorkers bug from over a year ago was fixed on Development, but it hasn't been pushed to Production yet. Any word on how soon we'll get that? It fixes multiple issues I have on a regular basis, so I'm eager to see it go live! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9839086/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9839086/</a>

You have never been able to drag-n-drop to sheet that are popped-out in separate windows. More about sheet limitations when popped I have been able to. I could make a new NPC sheet and what I'd do is minimise both windows and then if I wanted a spell etc. I could drag it from the compendium and the sheet would say "accepting from compendium" then it would populate.

hmm, now that you mention it, I might have heard about some improvement on this, but AFAIK, not all of these limitations have been solved, so I've kept at it. Seems the wiki needs some updating on that part. Worth a try at least? And it's possible turing the feature on &amp; off again might also solve the issue.

In my experience with popped out sheets, compendium drops could sometimes be dragged somewhere in the center of the VTT window and the sheet would accept the drop. Very finicky, and it was someone's hard to figure out where to drag the compendium entry. I haven't tried recently, but I wouldn't be surprised if the new sheet changes made that impossible now.

Nicholas said: Hey folks! Incoming updates to questions and reports that have come up: Tony C. &amp; Blue Saddle - What browsers and versions are you using when this happens? Also, for those browsers, are you using any extensions or addons? I'm using chrome, the extensions I have are: Beyond 20, VTT Assets, D&amp;D Toolbox, Google Docs Offline, Custom Dice for Roll20, DnD Dice Roller, and Roll20 Character Parser

I have tried some of those extensions out of curiosity. I remember that one of them caused serious performance issues (Roll20 Character Parser, I think, though it's not a clear memory, it might have been Roll20 Click and Roll). I'd suggest turning them all off and see if you still have issues. If you don't turn them on one by one until you find a potential culprit. In general, extension that modify the performance of Roll20 specifically make it difficult (and sometimes impossible) to provide technical assistance.

I got rid of the 2 dice roller extensions and that seemed to do the trick, thanks Keithcurtis

Hello Roll20. Seems like you guys have just rolled out some CSS changes to the environments. I have tested &lt;details&gt; and &lt;summary&gt; extensivly before going live, so this change came out of left field! After pushing my newest update live, I just noticed this change in the CSS: Before After So it appears that Roll20 adds "Display: block" as baseline to a lot &nbsp;of html elements. This now includes &lt;summary&gt; &nbsp;which was not standard before. Since &lt;summary&gt; &nbsp;has a "Display: block" that means that it no longer has "Display: list-item" which results in that the arrows indicating that this is a open-/closable link, is gone. It is easily fixable by overwriting the base line CSS, but I would prefer if Roll20 would update their CSS to no affect &lt;summary&gt; &nbsp;elements, for this specific styling :)

Nicholas said: Here are some updates to specific questions and concerns that have been asked: Finderski - Did you ever get the opportunity to check some other games or find more info about that custom game perchance? Also, in regards to the sandbox Bio/Info tab issue, I’m not able to reproduce on my games unfortunately. Are you still experiencing the issue? If so, is it consistent? Or does it only happen during some code uploads? Not yet, I'll play in that game on Saturday and will talk with the GM about it, then. If he's ok with giving you a link to the game, I'll provide that, too. But since it's not a game I own or GM, I didn't feel comfortable just posting a link to it. As for the Bio &amp; Info tab...that issue appears to have been resolved/fixed again. Thanks for the updates. :)

Nicholas said: Hey folks! If you didn’t catch it, we recently fixed a bug that was occurring with the legacy sanitization system where the CSS first rule after an @import statement was being deleted. You can read more about that release here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10024551/release-note-for-april-27-2021" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10024551/release-note-for-april-27-2021</a> . One of the next few things we’re going to be looking at is nested roll queries and other roll query syntax use cases that are no longer working after this most recent update. We’re looking to provide better query parsing so the weird and odd workarounds you had to use before, such as character code substitution, are no longer necessary. We’ll continue to update you on the details as they become available. Here are some updates to specific questions and concerns that have been asked: Vince - Thanks for your patience as we reviewed this! After further discussion with the devs, we’re going to go ahead and tackle the issues you’re experiencing when we address improvements to the nested roll query syntax, which I’ve discussed above. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to starting work there. That's great to hear.&nbsp; I was kicking around the idea of creating new attributes for each special character substitution in order to keep existing sheet macros from breaking. ie @{quot} with a value="&amp;quot;"

vÍnce said: Unannounced changes to the base.css is why I've added .charsheet (or a wrapper element) to all my classes for CSE...&nbsp; Not sure if it would help you in this particular case Peter, but I thought I would mention it. Yeah it will. I am going to make that change myself :) I just wanted to point it out as I have been working with &lt;details&gt; and &lt;summary&gt; since the CSE was announced. I have tested it in both the dev sandbox and the live sandbox, and the arrows were always there. I have also tested in live custom games, with the same result. It is within the last week that the CSS change has happened. I mainly wanted to let everyone know of this chance, so other can also add the required CSS changes :)

Finderski said: Is this happening in your Sandbox game as well? I ask, because I'm not having any issues with summary in my sandbox games, they have retained their custom styling via list-item display. &nbsp;In fact, my experience with them has improved in the sandbox game, because when I click the summary icon now, I don't get the huge selection for the entire row. To follow up on the styling problems, I just tested again using my work laptop, and the arrows were there as expected. I realized that I had done all my testing on my work laptop, so the debugging is going deeper! This my current setup: Computer Browser Version Arrows? Desktop Chrome Version 90.0.4430.93 (Officiel version) (64-bit) No arrows Laptop Chrome Version 74.03729.131 (Official Build) (64-bit) Yes pretty arrows! Clearly there is a difference is browser interpertation.&nbsp; I will try and update Chrome on my laptop and see what results I get Follow up I updated my laptops Chrome version to the same as the desktop (90.0.4430.93 (Official Build) (64-bit) and now the situation looks like this: Computer Browser Version Arrows? Desktop Chrome Version 90.0.4430.93 (Officiel version) (64-bit) No arrows Laptop Chrome Version 90.0.4430.93 (Officiel Build) (64-bit) No arrows So it appears that there is some browser inconsistency! Anyways. Please Roll20, do not overwrite the &lt;summary&gt; &nbsp;styling. It appears to have side effects in some versions of browsers :) Additional note: &nbsp;When looking at different versions of chrome, I noticed that there was a difference in the default styling ( user agent stylesheet ) of the &lt;summary&gt; element. In version 74.x the default styling was "display: block" In version 90.x the default styling is "display: item-list" So Roll20's assumption that the styling should be display: block is not totally wrong. Just outdated :)

Nicholas said: Hey folks! Incoming updates to questions and reports that have come up: Keithcurtis - Thanks for pointing this out Keith! Myself and the other devs will review this asap. Hi Nicholas, just some updating. In the three weeks since I reported the problem, I have gathered 7 more reports of the issue. This is something that many folks are dealing with: keithcurtis &nbsp;said: Bug:&nbsp;Newly-dropped characters now must fully resolve before closing the window Since this change went live I have been helping a lot of folks suffering from a common bug. Newly-dropped characters now must fully resolve before closing the window. If you close it too early, the process stops, including token assignment. (If you have an incomplete monster due to this, you must delete or rename it before trying to drag in a fresh one. The Compendium will not overwrite an identically named monster, to preserve local modifications.). Many users have reported broken monsters with incomplete stat blocks or missing tokens.&nbsp; Here is one such thread , though there are others. Before this change, the character sheet would finish forming in the background even after the window was closed. Additional Reports: [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ]

Rolemaster Character Sheet - On the magic section there's only 10 lines, so only 10 spell lists can be added. Is it possible to add more lines? If so how?

Hello. I can't figure out how to add alignment and background status to my character for D&amp;D. Anybody know any solutions?

WRT the last two posts, those are questions about specific sheets and should be posted in their own threads or in threads dedicated to those sheets. This thread is about enhancements to the sheet creation process.
