Hey! When trying to import my Goliath Ranger, getting this error.

Reported problem:

The problem is that spells are imported without the compendium information they came from (pack = ""). So magic items fails to retrieve them.

it would be enough to insert pack = "dnd5e.spells"
but also id & img are empty
and the name of the spell it does not coincide with that of the compendium...

I've got both DAE modules installed, but the import option stays grayed out

Hi @MrPrimate, and thanks for doing this - Foundry needs a complete and actively maintained content importer, I hope this project can become that.

Are you planning to support ddb spell or weapon customizations? Would be handy for keeping source of truth 100% in ddb

Thanks,

Import, uncheck the "Currency" button, but it still gets updated from DND Beyond, overwriting the information on the character sheet.

Hey,

I recently switched from the old importer to this one and have to say it works like a charm.
There is only one big downside:

The memory consumption when munching spells or items kills the tab it runs in.

Server system:

• Foundry VTT 0.7.7
• DnD5e 1.1.1

Client:

• Firefox 82.0.3
• Windows 10

The tab goes up to like 10GB RAM consumption and becomes almost nonresponsive.
I have to kill the tab via the task manager most of the time.
Tried it with only the ddb importer and no other addons, didn't make a difference.
I would guess there is a problem with how the data is loaded and how firefox cleans up the tabs

I included the shared content ID from the campaign link in the settings, does not seem to be importing some spells from xgte, tcoe, phb and etc.

In the README, https://www.vttassets.com/asset/vtta-tokenizer and https://www.vttassets.com/asset/vtta-iconizer link to 404 pages.

Use alignment to determine damage type

Hi,

Thanks heaps for your importer, it works for all of the characters I'm importing at the moment except for one, which gives me this error: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined. Do you know what this might be referring to? I tried adding the cobalt cookie but that didn't help.

This is the character: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/38255200

Allow import from DAE compediums, or mechanism for copying effects.

just something ive found. from an import.

FoundryVtt: 0.7.8
DnD5e: 1.1.1
Modules: DAE + DAE SRD
Extra info: https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/dnd5e/-/issues/861
Import a character with the advanced configuration option Copy existing Active Effects on items and character checked. The character will have NaN everywhere in the Attributes (Close character sheet and reopen to see).

Even with "Import new items only" option enabled, modifications made in Foundry get overwritten. Tested with both spells and weapons, Foundry 0.7.5 and ddb-importer 0.0.6

Thanks,

When importing items it would be possible to add some of the items features to the item as active effects which transfer to the actor on equip.

For example, if a magic item provides you with a new language, an ActiveEffect with the attribute key data.traits.languages.value be added and add that specific language.

The same mechanism could be applied to spell bonuses and DC and any such feature which could easily be translated from DDB to FVTT.

On your configuration, where you set the path for images, I used the button to create a new folder. It looks like it doesn't set the right permissions on the hosting machine local folder when using that. I went to import a character and got write error messages for adding icons when importing.

I went to my hosting machine, deleted the directory created and recreated it while logged into the machine, and restarted Foundry. After that I did another import and this time it succeeded.

When importing a character from DDB, if you have the "Use Dynamic Active Effects Compendium for matching items (requires DAE and SRD modules" option checked, some magic ttems are automatically unequipped, even though they might be set as "equipped" in DDB.

I believe this is happening because of the data inside the DAE-SRD module. Several items have the data.equipped set to false. I'm guessing this overrides what is seen in DDB.

Is there any way for the override to be the other way around? Whatever is written in DDB should override the default data inside DAR-SRD.

Thanks!!!

1. Import custom proficiencies
2. Map unarmored defense to "Unarmored Defense (Monk)" and "Unarmored Defense (Barbarian)" respectively. (Cuz theyre called that in dae srd and i assume you add them by name)

Just a suggestion that you should make it require the dnd5e system in your manifest
https://foundryvtt.com/article/module-development/ (scroll down to system under Optional Manifest Attributes)

Useful message when character is set to private is not displayed

The module.zip release artifact which is downloaded on installation includes a module.json where the manifest url is locked with that version instead of being a url pointed at the latest manifest.

The manifest should instead point to https://github.com/mrprimate/ddb-importer/releases/download/latest/module.json.

You have the correct url in your "module.json" release artifact, but it is not correct in the module.zip artifacts.

Here's a rather robust article on the wiki with some more details if you're curious.

After importing a character, clicking the Features tab, then the edit button on the class name, then the details tab, there is a button to choose class proficiencies that has EVERY proficiency checked. It should either check the ones the player has selected in dndbeyond or else leave them all empty.

From the notes:

Movement speed of an actor has been overhauled and migrated from using free-form text fields for "primary movement" and "special movement" to instead tracking numeric values for special types of movement including walk, fly, climb, swim, and burrow. Additionally it is possible to flag whether a creature hovers as part of their "walking" speed. This data is now stored as data.attributes.movement in the 5e data model and replaces the now deprecated data.attributes.speed object.

Getting an error on character import, it only says "undefined", no other error messages (nothing in the console too).

Character link https://character-service.dndbeyond.com/character/v4/character/36221975

Foundry: 0.7.7
DnDe5: 1.2.0
ddb-importer: 0.0.12

Recently I've noticed that my character's attack and damage rolls weren't calculating properly. It looks like when importing, the weapons that are added to the characters do not apply the Proficient attribute.

The weapon on the left is after importing from a clean character sheet, the weapon on the right is if I manually add it from the compendium.

FoundryVTT 0.7.9
DDB-Importer 0.2.1
DDB-Importer-Chrome 0.0.2 (cookie configured)

Three other characters imported successfully, but this one just will not come over. I can't find anything in specific to where the issue is on the character sheet, and I've tried turning on Debug logging to provide something more, but there is no output in the console, or in any log file I can find for DDB Importer.

Allow a match if a token exists in a folder already.

This might say search a folder for an existing token name.

Trying to add one of my players D&D Beyond characters to Foundry with the importer and I got this error.

Character: https://ddb.ac/characters/23966661/dSq2g0
I thought it might have had to do with the Players Truesight however I removed the truesight waited about 20 min and still got the same error, so I added it back.
I can add all the other characters in the campaign with no issue but it's just this one player character I am unable to add. I've tried going through the token to find any brightSight setting but I can't find one.

Currently, if you do an import without setting the data directory in settings, you'll get this error in the UI:

You'll also get a slightly better error saying a directory doesn't exist I believe, a temporary one at the top of the window.

This seems to cause people confusion; I answered someone's question about it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/k5f88f/dd_beyond_importer_error_type_error_cannot_read/geg5hdv/?context=3

You can also see in a recent YouTube video, the speaker calls this error out with the fix for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PjPkugkF1o

It would be nice if there was explicit error handling for it, with some clear error message.

Is it possible to make ddb-importer give you an option to use Items/Feats/Spells from my own compendiums as opposed to the DAE-SRD or SRD compendiums? I feel like as I add more and more non-SRD items that use DAE I'd want it to just use the ones I made

First of all, thanks for this awesome tool. Importing other characters went flawlessly, but I'm running into this error when importing a warlock (not sure if this is relevant). I'm also seeing a lot of "The specified value "+0" cannot be parsed, or is out of range." in the console.

I get this error after clicking the 'Start Import' button:

It imports the attributes and biography just fine, but the spell list remains empty.

This is the character I am trying to import: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/1350556

From the v0.9.9 dnd5e system release notes:

Added a new special Actor trait for "Diamond Soul" which will allow Monk characters to automatically add proficiency to all saving throws (including Death Saves).

When importing a character with a shield in their equipment and using the DAE Import option, the Shield Spell gets imported rather than the shield Item

The monster name is duplicated in the description. This is most apparent when using the Monster Blocks sheet.

would it be possible to add this as a feature when 0.7.9 comes out. a way to parse the information from dnd beyond that will automatically set the ability of a class feature on things based on the prof mod or ability score.

When importing a paladin character, the number of uses of Divine Sense should be 1+CHA modifier. In the case of my specific character, this should be a total of 4 uses, but it imports as 3 total. I believe it is only factoring in the CHA modifier, which is +3, and not the additional +1. VTTAssets also has this issue if that means anything.

When using S3 as a storage backend, every munch re-uploads the image filed pulled from D&D beyond.

Logging shows a HTTP 404 when checking if the image exists because it is using <server_hostname>/path/to/image.png and not <bucket>.<s3-endpoint>/path/to/image.png

Should be fixed in #31

everytime i import the ac calculation isnt correct. and even donnoning or doffing a shield doesnt add or subtract the ac bonus. the same thing happens with armor ac. taking them off doesnt change anything. if this could be fixed id really appreciate it.

Issue from discord:

for active abilities with a limited amount of uses, the number of uses left should only be tracked in the item itself through the "Limited Uses" field. Currently there is also a resource tracker in the attributes page, which can get out of sync from the "Limited Uses" in the item itself, which can lead to confusion
for now, I'm deleting the resource attributes manually every time after I import, but it would be nice if I could just completely opt out of it

That doesn’t work for things like channel divinity or sorcery points though where it’s a shared pool between multiple abilities.

then for those the feature should not use Limited Uses, but Resource Consumption
I'm just saying that there should be a single source of truth
for the remaining uses/points

Hey there!

So I've been moving to use this module instead of the original from VTTA to solve the following issue, but it still exists.

When importing this character, I get the following stack trace in my console.

In this case, the import does eventually finish, and seems to have all the inventory, spells, etc, however this error still happens the same as in the old module. I have tried using both the URL linked to above, as well as the URL from the character-service and they both have the same error.

Again, it doesn't seem to actually affect anything, but I also haven't looked deep enough to truly figure that out yet.

Looking at the source of where the error happens, looks like it's related to not finding a class/subclass.

 if (result.includes("classlevel")) {
    const cls = utils.findClassByFeatureId(ddb, feature.componentId);
    if (cls) {
      result = result.replace("classlevel", cls.level);
    } else {
      // still not found a cls? could be an option
      const classOption = [ddb.character.options.race, ddb.character.options.class, ddb.character.options.feat]
        .flat()
        .find((option) => option.definition.id === feature.componentId);
      if (!classOption) {
        logger.error("Unable to parse option class info, please log a bug report");
      } else {
        const optionCls = utils.findClassByFeatureId(ddb, classOption.componentId);
        if (optionCls) {
          result = result.replace("classlevel", optionCls.level);
        } else {
          logger.error("Unable to parse option class info, please log a bug report");
        }
      }
    }
  }

This character is using the 'new' subclass for Circle of the Spores from Tasha's, so perhaps it has something to do with that subclass not existing in the data I have in my system.

Again, things do seem to have been imported correctly eventually, but just wanted to bring this to your attention, as the log specifically tells me to file a bug report :)

I get this error when trying to import this Character. No idea why. I was able to import a level 5 paladin just fine

Bonuses to AC from Dual Wielder feat is not being applied when character has a weapon marked as "dual wield" in the customization properties

Hi,
Tortle Natural Armor is wrongly affected by negative Dex bonus (not by positive one though).

From the release notes:

Deprecated the Savage Attacks special trait which was previously (incorrectly) applied for all damage rolls and replace it with a more generic Melee Critical Damage Dice flag which can be flexibly used to add a configurable number of bonus damage dice to critical hits with melee weapons. This will work for both Savage Attacks as well as Brutal Critical or other similar features. For example, a Level 18 Orc Barbarian would set the value of this flag to 4 - rolling 4 additional weapon dice when scoring a critical hit with a melee weapon.

This is a problem with most magic bonuses.

Ways forward: Add to AC of armor

Consider impact of using DAE on tehse in the future.
