Hey everyone!
The Western Gate v2.0 is now available on Foundry!
A Note Regarding Foundry V14. Right now, I'm not set up for v14 due to a few challenges. Primarily:
Monk's Active Tile Triggers is used to power our map UI, and currently, we are waiting on this mod to be updated to v14.
Once MATT is updated, this will cover one of our challenges, and after that, my modules that don't use Levels will be usable in v14.
As many of you are aware, one of the big changes in v14 is Levels being integrated into the core Foundry project. This means Levels as a module will not work correctly in v14, and we would need to rebuild the module to be specifically usable for v14. If I start making new modules for v14 using Levels, this would break any previous builds for v13 and earlier. So right now I'm holding off until I have a better idea on how best to support both v13 with Levels and v14 with the integrated version of their own Levels.
Stay tuned for more updates on this front!
As a reminder regarding the new UI framework tool, see below for a preview of what has been recently updated.
Eidolon Utilities
Eidolon Utilities is our new framework, which handles the updated UI.In short:
Eidolon Utilities will replace Map Presets UI when it's listed in the required module (It's okay to have both installed since you'll need both for old and new maps)
You will also need to update "DM Andy Bits and Bobs" to v1.5.1.
This new module is our updated UI framework that better handles the UI, including drop down menus and a new, sleek look for the pop ui UI (See the .gifs below).
Updated Header UI
As part of the updates, the header UI now utilizes a dropdown style selector for each option! I wanted it to be quicker and faster to move from one color mood to another (for example, moving from Sunny Day to Night) on the fly without having to click through the left/right arrows. This is a new enhancement made possible for Eidolon Utilities.
Updated Pop-up UI
In addition to the updated header UI, we have also given the pop-up a facelift thanks to Eidolon Utilities. Check it out!
Everything is compatible with v13
Installation Instructions
1. Make sure your Foundry and Patreon accounts are linked, as it will need to check for active member status. Go to: https://foundryvtt.com/ and log in. Then click on your user name (top right) and click edit profile. At the bottom, you will see the Patreon link option.
2. Open up the Foundry program and from the Foundry Setup page, click Add-on Module and search for the map name (or "DM Andy" to see all my modules)
3. Make sure you have the required modules (see below). A window should prompt you for both required and optional modules to install them if you have not done so. You may also be required to update the Map Preset UI.
For additional help, head over to the install guide video on my Master Map Hub Page.
