Hi there.
When running my own Lancer games I need three things to handle environment effects:
THT (Terrain Height Tools) for terrain, with movement penalties and triggers I added on top.
Grid Aware Auras for token-attached auras, plus things like elevation auras and merging. -
And something to handle Zones: a bit like auras, but without a token underneath.
A few months ago I found TemplateMacro, an old abandoned v11 module, and got it working on v12. But in the end it wasn't very intuitive or practical to use.
So I decided to rebuild a lot of it, and to bring in the features I'd already developed for Grid Aware Auras. The new version comes with presets, templates, icons, macros, effects, and more.
Check out the new README: https://github.com/Agraael/templatemacro
Lancer Automation 2.14.12
The Lancer system just got an update. Not much to flag for Lancer Automations apart from two things:
Damage type names changed to lowercase (e.g. "Kinetic" is now "kinetic"). If you've crafted your own stuff with macros, it might be broken on your end too.
As a consequence of the v3 pilot import work, I think Eranziel included two new damage types that do nothing and don't work properly: "all" and "aoe". I've filed an issue. In the meantime there's a tiny patch that removes them from the damage section so they don't get in the way.
NPC Import
Pilot import has been integrated into the Lancer system itself, so I could drop my own pilot import.
But it runs into the same issue I had with CORS: until the Comp/Con endpoint changes, users with share codes will be blocked by CORS headers.
The NPC import solution I built on my end is still available (running on my own CORS proxy).
I also brought back the login form, but only for NPC import, since the Lancer system decided to drop it.
I've added a new tab for Pilot Import where you can see all your pilots and whether they're up to date.
PS: ah yes 2 small updaet on GAA and THT fork: fix for elevation aware + advance faction filter
