[extension] Spell Tokens Extension

[bratch9]

Quick question:
I've been putting the xml files in the extensions folder, but should they go there, or in the mod folder? I can't remember, and there's no longer a page on dmsguild

Hi,

You can put those files any place on your computer. When you use the 'import' button on the spell token configuration with, it opens a 'system folder window' which you can move to any place on your machine to load the file from. ( The extension does not auto load these from a known location, as I dont know if you are using a spell token pack or not or which it would be etc.. )

I'd stuff them some place in the FG folder tree, either the root or extension or modules.

is there a way to use this with AD&D 2e?

I have no idea, I've never used the 2e ruleset so probably have very little data to even be able to configure up the required testing to look into it.

If you are willing to create a test campaign and upload it, I'll take a look. I can not say if/when I might get around to adding support.

I'd need a character with spells, maybe fireball and/or a few others like Alarm, fog cloud, and say an npc on the CT that might have these sorts of spells. ( If you take a look in a txt editor of the 'B9_SpellTokens.xml' you could look down the <name> sections for spells that exist in that spell token pack. ( Its 5e based so probably a lot of overlap with the original 2e ruleset spells. )

Do not enable any extensions, so just the 2e ruleset campaign. ( You dont even need to have the spell tokens extensions, as you did not say if you owned it or not.. )

Just zip the clean campaign file and attach it to this thread and I'll pick it up and take a look at some point.

I can not say if its possible, it depends on how the ruleset was built and if the linkage and image and token control systems are close to the other supported ruleset for the extension.

Thanks, Pete

Thank you very much! I bought this ages ago and couldn't remember how it worked!

I made a test campaign with a PC and NPC like you asked. I have your spell tokens but I only used them for 5e. How can I export the campaign to get it to you?

Just go to the fantasy grounds install location, and open the folder 'campaigns', inside this you should see the folder of the name you called the campaign... just zip that and attach it to the forum.

Okay, I have the Spell Token Extension, now I need the step by step instructions to make this work

Should be able to follow the ones in the OP. That worked for me.
