Roger's Additional Metric Ruler Labels

For everyone that uses the metric system in the real world and wants to know the metric distances without changing the underlying game system. Or do you want to add your own custom measurement conversions? Or maybe travel times?

GM:

A 20 feet wide gorge lies ahead of your party. What do you do?

You are asking yourself:

20 feet ... is this wide? Should i try jumping across it?


This module will help you to better understand distances.
It adds additional labels for the metric measurements to your ruler. It is not changing any systems etc. It only applies an additional label to the UI.

NEW --- NEW --- NEW

You can now add your Customizable Measurement Conversions and Travel times if you want :) Have fun! Compatability with V11!!!

V11 - Compatability

The latest version is compatible with V11. If you find problems with future subversions of V11, then please let me know. Please note that Release 1.1.0 and above are not compatible with foundry versions below V9 :)(They might work with earlier versions than V9 but its not supported)

Table of Contents

The following units are supported

  • ft, ft. and feet will get converted to meters (5 ft -> 1,5 m)

Customizable Conversions

You can now add your own custom conversion with custom labels, etc. Just go to the settings and add all the information for your own conversion. The module has the concept of a small and a big measurement unit. For example feet and miles. Or meters and kilometers. That way you can support normal maps, as well as bigger travelmaps. Fill in the original labels, so that the module can find the measurements, that it should convert with your custom factor. That way you will receive your own custom measurement with a label of your choice.

Your players then can decide if they want to see the built-in metric conversion for feet and miles or your custom one, or just BOTH :). If you want to get rid of the original foundry measurements, then there is an option too. I hope this helps all the people that have some different szenarios than imperial to metric.

Travel times

You can now add travel times to the ruler. Just go to the settings and add all the information for your own conversion. You will need to define the label that the module should look for (e.g. miles) and then the distances for that measuring unit that your group would travel on a slow, normal and fast travel speed. You can also define if you want to display the travel times in days, hours or whatever you want.

To save some space you can also toggle on the option to only show the total travel time on the last segment of a ruler, instead of both the total and the travel time to this segment from the previous one.
