Hooray for some FVTT module updates!

Hi everyone!

As FVTT 0.4.3 was just released, I wanted to update everyone with some news about my own modules.  

 
Actually, first, I want to say : Don't worry, I know that R20Converter needs some love and it is my priority and I'm still working on it to add support for the 0.4.x changes without passing through a migration. That's the kind of stuff that I find very hard to do because it's time consuming and meticulous work and the progress is hard to see, in between that work when I grew tired, I've worked on some other more interesting things (as a way to relax) and those things are what I'm releasing now, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about R20Converter! So far, I've finished the upgrade of all entities apart from items, which means that actors don't yet have their attacks properly set, but I'm almost done with that. Then I'll add Rollable Tables support then it's ready for release! I expect a release maybe on Wednesday or Thursday. 

With the FVTT 0.4.2 announcement of Audio/Video conferencing getting added to core, you now understand why I've spent so much time working on Arcane Viewing in the past month or so! I wanted to keep it as a surprise, but yes, all of the features from Arcane Viewing as well as some extra (such as push to talk) were integrated into the FVTT core as part of a collaboration with Atropos. It was an awesome experience and I hope I'll get to do more of that in the future. Now I can concentrate on the other A/V related features that I wanted to add which would not go into core, and you can see a preview of those in the above videos. The video effects system is very very very raw and experimental but the camera tokens feature is looking good and stable now. There is a lot of work to do on the video effects but I wanted to give you all a preview of the things I've been doing on that front. Unless you find it stable for you, I suggest you just play with it a bit and leave it off for now. Suggestions at this stage are welcome! And so, I'm releasing Arcane Viewing 0.4 with support for 'camera tokens' and 'video effects'. I have a few other cool ideas for future releases too :)

By the way, if you hadn't seen this preview video of green screen support that I posted on Discord, now might be a good time to check it out : https://streamable.com/leqdo 

There is still no public link for Arcane Viewing and I'll be posting the zip file to the patreon subscribers in a minute!

I have also worked on a module that was suggested by @iotech, who also made it look beautiful with the UI design. That module is LMRTFY! Well, you can just call it "Let Me Roll That For You!", and as the name indicates, it lets the DM request rolls from their players. I've already made a few releases of that during the week and it's already at version 0.5. It turned out to be a quite popular module, so if you haven't seen it yet, maybe you'll find it useful for your group too!

I think an image might be worth a thousand words so just look at the screenshot above!

You can install it with the manifest URL :  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kakaroto/fvtt-module-lmrtfy/master/module.json 

And last but not least, I've also updated Furnace to v1.0! Yeay! Ok, v1.0 isn't really a particularly important achievement, it's just the 10th release I'm doing and I started with 0.1.

The changelog is : 

• Fix some crashes with the drawings
• Fix trusted players being unable to create new texts
• Fix door controls disappearing when using 'ignore vision' mode
• Fix a bug in FVTT that happened when moving multiple tokens in the non-active scene
• Fix a bug in FVTT that could happen when trying to connect A/V on a fresh world.
• Fix text appearing in the wrong position when scaled
• Automatically focus on the text area when creating text drawings

You can install it with the manifest URL : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kakaroto/fvtt-module-furnace/stable/module.json  

That's it for today! I hope to be back soon with the update to R20Converter and I hope everyone is excited about the upcoming features in Arcane Viewing.

Thanks everyone for your support and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions!

Enjoy! :)
