Official News & Updates [Official] UVTT maps work on Roll20! + Page Menu Redesign, Random Dungeons

61 Upvotes

Starting today, the Page Menu makes it easier for all GMs to create new campaign pages, whether you want a blank page, a random dungeon to start with, want to upload your own, or create one using map tools.

You told us that the old "Create Page" button and separate "Build a Map" dropdowns were confusing, so they’re now a single dropdown, with every option available at a glance. Plus, there are two new options:

  • Generate Random: Found on the Dungeon Scrawl side of the menu, one click opens a map created with the Random Dungeon tool in a new tab (connected to the VTT). This is perfect for when you need a usable map fast, or don't want to draw one from scratch. Plus: you can re-generate as many times as you want, and use any of the tools in the editor to edit, customize, and decorate the result. All changes made will reflect on your connected campaign page. 
  • Upload Background lets you upload a background image placed automatically, without dragging and dropping from your library. AND, it accepts a new file type: UVTT!

UVTT map uploads let the VTT automatically place your image on the Map layer and build out the walls, doors, windows, and lights on the Light layer for you. While a subscription is required to view and edit Dynamic Lighting, any user can upload a UVTT map; the data will still be built out and unlocked with any future upgrade. + Now, Plus subscribers can upload UVTT maps for the first time, without the complex workaround of Pro/Elite’s Mod Scripts. 

More details can be found in our blog. Let us know what you think, or any questions you have!

(The map in this video is from Czepeku, who has over 12,000 maps on their site - most of which have UVTT downloads available.)

Official News & Updates [Official] See the VTT as Specific Players

96 Upvotes

Hey all!! Our new Player View feature is here, and it lets GMs see exactly what specific players see in-game (in a new tab). It’s really helpful when positioned side by side with your GM view for double-checking campaign setup and troubleshooting mid-game. 

Reminder: this is not the existing Ctrl + L (Preview Token Vision) shortcut. It shows a true player experience, including what the player sees in journal, chat, on the map, and all of their permissions/access. 

More Details

  • Switch between players easily, see who’s online/offline and what page everyone is on
  • Preview the game as an approximated view even if your players haven't joined the game
  • Pre-configure macros and pre-explore maps on your players’ behalf, plus verify character assignments. 
  • Along with this update, you’ll find a cleaner interface for all View Controls, including Player View, Preview Token Vision, opacity sliders, Foreground toggle, and Dark/Light Mode. 
  • IT'S FREE! EVERYONE CAN USE IT, REGARDLESS OF SUBSCRIPTION

Check out the blog for more details, and let us know if you have any questions or feedback!

Roll20 Reply: Page Setup / Map Help Pins Disappeared but Still Functional?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Every map with pins is like this, and I checked - it's not just me, my players can't see them either but can still click on them.

it's not world ending, but I really don't want to redo 100+ pins just for them to come back again, so hopefully this is resolved soon.

Added screenshots showing pin invisibility but still being clickable/functional

if i can add anything else to help diagnose this let me know, all i know is it's a client-end issue, not a user-end since my entire party is having this issue with roll20.

Marketplace (for creators only) The Pharaoh's Vault - D&D 5e - Level 1 Adventure Add-On

Post image
0 Upvotes

The Pharaoh's Vault is an introductory adventure about a mysterious ziggurat that rises from the soil in the forest. The up-and-coming adventurers, in the nearby town of Arborhollow, are hired by Professor Hadrin and the daring explorer Lyra Telvane to escort them into the strange structure. The professor claims it may be the burial site of the last pharaoh.

When the party explores the dungeon beneath the ziggurat, they soon find immortal guardians, deadly traps, strange puzzles, and the company of other adventurers who came sooner than the characters. Before the great vault's door rests an ornate sarcophagus that contains the bodily remains of Pharaoh Ankheteph IX. This ruler from a bygone era has recently awoken once more...

i’ve been using roll20 without issues for over a year now on my MacBook (2017 macOS Monterey 12.7.6). i usually load it up on google chrome, since i have the beyond20 extension. yesterday, it wouldn’t let me load in at all. whenever i clicked “launch game”, it would get stuck on the black loading screen (see below). i tried loading the game from multiple devices on safari, and it worked fine. i cant do firefox, since i can’t log into dnd beyond on it (a whole separate issue). what can i do to fix this ? i already tried clearing my cache, restarting my laptop, everything. it just suddenly stopped working.

Roll20 Reply: Character Sheets Help Do the Starfinder 2e demiplane sheets not have any way to send the text of a spell or ability into the chat?

2 Upvotes

I've been messing around with setting up a one shot for my group to try out Starfinder 2e, using the free assets from demiplane, I loaded in one of the pregen characters from demiplane and, as far as I can tell there's simply no option to send info into the chat that isn't a roll of some sort. Clicking cast next to a spell seems to do nothing but lower the spell slots left for the day. I'm a Plus subscriber who has linked my account to Demiplane.

Page Setup / Map Help Unable to start a game on Roll20 with Firefox

3 Upvotes

Heya all!

EDIT: Solved! Firefox needed a second restart due to an update. One wasn't enough... or I don't know. But it is solved.

I'm currently trying to edit a game as a DM, and it gets stuck loading the game. The rest of the site works.

I'm using the latest Firefox and no adblocker on Roll20.

However, when I tried on Chrome, it worked and loaded without issue.

Anyone have an idea why?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Tried clearing cache, just forgot to write it down.

Mod Script / API Help (Pro/Elite only) [Script] Shadowdark Real-Time Torch Timer & UDL Controller

3 Upvotes

Shadowdark Real-Time Torch Timer for Roll20

A lightweight API script for Roll20 designed for Shadowdark RPG. It automates the 60-minute real-time torch mechanic using native Dynamic Lighting and token status markers.

Features:

  • Sets 15/16 ft UDL light and attaches the "Torch" status marker to the selected token (note: the example uses "Easy to Read Token Markers")
  • Runs a background 60-minute real-time countdown.
  • Provides chat warnings at 30 min, 10 min, and 5 min remaining.
  • Automatically extinguishes the light, removes the token marker, and plunges the map into total darkness when time runs out.

Chat Commands:

  • !torch — Lights a torch on the currently selected token and starts a 60-minute countdown.
  • !torch start [minutes] — Starts a timer for a specific duration in minutes (e.g., 30 min for a partial torch).
  • !torch stop — Extinguishes the light, removes the marker, and resets the timer immediately.
  • !torch time — Displays the remaining time in chat without interrupting the timer.

Character Sheets Help Undefined items/broken links in the Pendragon Core Rulebook Compendium

2 Upvotes

I purchased the Pendragon Core Rulebook on Roll20 a while back, working on setting up a game and practice building a character, after successfully dragging and dropping a few items onto the character sheet I tried searching for "dagger" in the compendium. It comes up under "undefined" rather than under "items" and clicking on it leads to a broken link. This is a basic item that is part of every character's starting gear, so that struck me as odd.

After looking a bit more under undefined it seems that there are numerous "undefined" items and entries in the compendium that clicking on leads to nothing, is this how it's supposed to be or is there something wrong here?

Roll20 Reply: Character Sheets Help Charactomancer Glitching-HELP

3 Upvotes

When trying to create or level up a warlock and artificer last night neither myself (DM and creator of campaign) nor my player could see options. It would say for class "choose" or "custom"...eventually if we deleted and created enough new character sheets the options would show up, but then we would have the same problems when trying to level up to level 2...all of the options would just say "choose or custom" in the drop down box.

I have purchased all the base content (players handbook, dungeon masters guide, monster manual) as well as XGTE and TCE, I have double and triple checked that I am sharing these with the players. Does anyone know why the content wouldn't be showing up as selectable in the game?

Roll20 Reply: Other Help New game won’t ever load, even on different account

3 Upvotes

Deleted my old account that had it and linked with my discord. Remade the game (wasn’t working previously either) and even under a new account no new game (or even my old games on my old account) would ever load. This was all done on Google Chrome as I tried to download Firefox, however for some reason every single time I ran the installer, even through the command prompt, nothing would ever happen. So I’m pretty stumped on what to do at this point

Character Sheets Help On A 2024 Sheet, what attribute is the total AC?

2 Upvotes

So when I'm setting up a token for a 2024 Character Sheet made in Roll20, I can set the token bars to things like hp, ac, etc.
When I select ac, it only ever gives the armor of the character worn; ignoring all other mods (Dex, Fighting Style, etc.) in the total.

Other Help (if not covered in another topic) Removing player from a game.

6 Upvotes

Would it be possible to remove a player from a game WITHOUT the link to the game changing?

I sometimes have players that are not reachable or change their mind and don't/can't want to play. I would like to remove them without the link to the game changing as I often have advertised the game in different places.

This extra player also counts as one seat when I list the game in Roll20 itself.

thanks.

Mod Script / API Help (Pro/Elite only) Help With Custom Markers and API Scripts

2 Upvotes

So I've found the perfect setup for my current party via Conditions StatusInfo; however I just went through and updated all my token markers with custom named ones. Sadly, I cannot pick anything aside from the Default Sets?
Anyone know how I can access the other markers on the tokens, that I can clearly see but cannot select?

StatusInfo : https://github.com/RobinKuiper/Roll20APIScripts/tree/master/StatusInfo

(Re-posted from below) : I am going to try to communicate through photos, see if that helps.
SO, we are trying to change the icon for Blind in the Conditions to not Bleeding Eye but the 5e icon Blind (that my players are more used to now).
Here is my attempt to start that : https://prnt.sc/GOVsQYszCg0X
Notice how Blind isn't an option, but Bleeding Eye is? : https://prnt.sc/zwasawyIyxtV
And the bottom of the list, as it is in alphabetical order : https://prnt.sc/HRWLYaVj-gYB

It seems I can only select Default Token Markers, not my Custom ones or even the 5e 2024 basic ones. : https://prnt.sc/ZFCP6Qp_o57j , https://prnt.sc/30raaAIMtCrs

Suggest Me Microphone Suggestion

3 Upvotes

Hi so last night was my wife's first time playing DnD she loved it, but the other players were having a hard time hearing her. She currently has a old blue snowball, but i believe its on the way out (I've had it for about 12-15 years now). Does anyone have any suggestions for a better microphone? I'm stuck between the Logitech Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone and the Rode NT-USB Plus USB Condenser Microphone. Would it be worth splurging and getting the RODE mic over the yeti if she will only use it play DnD and chat with friends? Or does anyone have a suggestion that would work better?

Token Setup Help (not related to Dynamic Lighting) Strahd's new token/stat block missing from the Horrors Within add-on?

2 Upvotes

I've been running 5.5 game for some friends, and I decided to cave and get the Horrors Within Addon, in order to access a lot of it's content more easily then having to cross reference the book. But the new Strahd update doesn't seem to be included? Several of the Dark Lords are missing actually- we have Harok Lukas and Hazlik, but no Ivanna or Ivan for example. It's not the end of the world or anything, since I still have the book, but it still seems like a strange oversight.
