Changelog 2019-07-19

This week we deployed the first version of editable schemas that we have been hard at work at for the past few weeks. While we are very happy with the result already, we will be improving and tweaking them based on feedback from our players.

This week's blog post continues the series on naming things with What's in a name again?, this time about areas and cities.

Wiki

  • Cancelling an edit on a character sheet now takes you back to that character sheet. Previously this would take you back to the character wiki page. This little tweak makes it easier to do multiple edits and cancels in a row, which is something that can happen when working on your character, without unexpectedly ending up somewhere else.

Schemas

  • Schemas have been significantly upgraded: you can now create new schemas, change existing schemas, and remove unused schemas.
  • Schema pages have been improved. The schema view page now also lists the pages that are using the schema, either because they describe something like it, or because they use it as filter in an [show] block. You can get to a schema page the same way you get to a tag page: by following the links in the top-right area of a wiki page.
  • Creating a schema can be done by going the your campaign's schema overview, or any schema page, and hitting the "New Schema" button. The help pages of your campaign have been updated to contain a step-by-step guide on adding new schemas. (You can also have a look at the community help pages on adding new shemas).
  • Changing a schema will automatically update all wiki pages using that schema, including correctly renaming fields, converting values in fields from the old field type to their new type, and moving removed values to the Extra Fields part of the page.
    • None of your data should disappear. If you discover that some of your data has disappeared after you changed a schema, please Report that as a bug by describing your change, and linking to the page version that had the data just before it disappeared. This will help us investigate what went wrong.
  • Removing a schema can be done from the schema page, and is only possible if there are no pages that use the schema to describe something. When there are no pages using the schema for data, the Remove schema button will be available on the edit page.

Other

  • It is now possible to link to tags and schemas with the names tag and schema, for example [‌[tag/NPC]], where previously only tags and schemas would work. This makes these links easier to understand and edit.
  • The Wanted Pages view can now see a difference between a normal link on a page, and a link inside a `[show]` block. This makes the Wanted Pages page more useful, since you get better information to determine which pages to make first.

Pathfinder

  • In new character sheets ability score modifiers are now automatically added to AC, Init, CMB, CMD, and all saves. This helps with quickly adding your character.
  • Base speed is now set to a default of 30 ft. Most characters start out with the default base speed, so this will save you a little work when adding your character.

Bugs

  • Fixed a bug that prevented empty number inputs to work on Safari 9. Now it should work the same on every browsers, regardless of whether there is already a number (or some other value) in the number input field.
  • Fixed a Pathfinder character sheet bug that caused ability modifiers to be reset to 0 when a bonus source was written down. This has been fixed, and you can now freely add bonus sources to your modifiers to organize your character sheet the way you want.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented lists, tables, and other layout options from being displayed correctly in private messages. This has been fixed, and your lists and tables will now look nice again.
