Star Wars Extra Fields

This is a module crafted for the FFG Star Wars system in Foundry VTT. It allows you to enhance your actors by adding custom fields beneath their derived values, providing greater depth and customization for your campaigns.

Features

• Add Custom Fields: Easily introduce additional fields to your actors through intuitive configuration settings and the Custom Fields dialog.
• Group Management: Organize related fields into groups for better structure and clarity.
• Flexible Ordering: Arrange the order of fields using a simple drag-and-drop interface within the Custom Fields dialog.
• Formatting Support: Create visual spacing and organize information by leaving field names blank.

Getting Started

Installation

1. Download the Module: Obtain the latest version from the GitHub repository.
2. Install in Foundry: Import the module into Foundry VTT via the Module Browser or by manually uploading it.
3. Activate the Module: Ensure the module is enabled in your Foundry VTT game settings.

Configuration

Defining Custom Fields

Customize your actors by adding new fields through the Configuration Settings and the Custom Fields dialog.

Group Name

Organize your fields by grouping them under a specific name.

• Grouped Fields: Enter a Group Name to cluster related fields together.
• Ungrouped Fields: Leave the Group Name empty to create standalone fields. The system will assign a "placeholder" value, which will appear when the Custom Field dialog is reopened.

Ordering Fields

The display order of fields on an actor is determined by their sequence in the Custom Fields dialog. Reorder fields effortlessly using the drag-and-drop feature.

Formatting

To enhance the visual layout of your actor sheets, you can create empty spaces by leaving the Field Name blank. This feature is useful for organizing information and improving readability, as demonstrated in the example images above.

API or lack thereof

The fields are stored in the actor in _flags.lgs-extra-fields-for-star-wars.extraFields as an object:

[
    {
        "group": "Sanity",
        "name": "Curret",
        "value": 0
    },
    {
        "group": "Sanity",
        "name": "Threshold",
        "value": 0
    }
]

Important Considerations

Renaming Groups or Field Names

Be cautious when renaming Group Names or Field Names. Doing so will reset any stored data on the actor to 0. Ensure that you intend to reset the data before making such changes.

Incompatibilities

This module may not be compatible with other modules that modify the default actor template. If you experience issues, check for conflicts with other installed modules and consult their documentation for compatibility information.
