R20Converter 0.8

Note: The R20Converter package has been updated a few times with small bugfixes since the initial 0.8 release.

Hi everyone, 

It's time for another release of R20Converter!

Since the relatively recent release of FVTT 0.4.4, there has been a big change in the database format and all modules needed to be updated. This meant that R20Converter needed an update of its own so for those who export their campaigns as modules, they would be able to load them.

This R20Converter release doesn't only update to the latest database format, it also adds some long awaited conversion features : macros and chat logs.

As always, when I switch to another one of my projects, I like to do more than just fix bugs or update it to work with the latest FVTT, I like to also add interesting features to it.

A lot of work went into the chat log support. While it was easier than I thought it would be (explains why I procrastinated it for so long), getting the roll templates to appear properly (see screenshots above) was still challenging, but I am very proud of the end result.

Macros are also now converted, but do note that they are only being sent as chat messages, so if you have /roll macros for example, those would work, but if the macro is more complex and uses roll templates or inline dice rolls, they won't work.

Now that this release is done, I will be concentrating my next work on Beyond20. It has racked up a pretty big and interesting list of bug reports and feature suggestions since the last release, and I'm happy to finally getting to it.

Here is the full changelog for R20Converter v0.8 :

• Port database format to FVTT 0.4.4/0.4.5
• Convert Roll20 macros into chat macros 
• Restore each user's macro hotbar to match their macrobar on Roll20
• Add support for converting the chat log
• Convert roll templates for the OGL sheet so character sheet rolls from chat will appear as they did on Roll20, including tooltip support
• Enables Chat Autoloader FVTT module by default (module by @Moerill).
• Fix permissions for actors that are in player's journal to limited instead of observer, to better match the behavior on Roll20
• Add support for horizontal mirroring of tokens
• Add checks against invalid roll tables and decks
• Prevent NPC weapons that match loot item names (such as a shovel or torches that deal 1 damage) from becoming loot and removing their damage values
• Make the 'Auto Doors' option enabled by default in the GUI

As always, if you have any questions or any issues, don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks again for the support!

 Note 2 : Though rare, some people seem to have an issue running the app on their Windows machine, there's a second build (R20Converter-0.8.98-cx.zip) that I'm trying and hoping will work for more people. Give me feedback if one or the other fails for you. Thanks!
