MaterialDeck VS foundryvtt

I use the Matrial Deck addon with my Stream Deck. You run a small application on your computer that acts as the go-between between your Stream Deck and the hosted Foundry instance.

Here's instructions: https://github.com/CDeenen/MaterialDeck/wiki/Linux-Instructions

There also is no easy way to have an SD plug-in fully communicate an external change of state without some sort of sever running to keep things updated. The only system I’ve seen that does this consistently is the purpose built Material Deck for the FoundryVTT virtual tabletop application. It uses a local server (run on your system) that can poll the states of various commands. When you invoke them via the keyboard, if available, the state of the corresponding SD key will update (music playlist playing or stopped, game paused or unpaused, for example). And when you invoke them on the SD, they react as though you hit the keyboard command. But this is a very specific usage case for a single app. It is not available outside of FoundryVTT (for other apps). Of course, the server app is available along with its source code, so you could figure out what it takes to make it work in other apps, but that would be far, far more work than learning AHK.

"It would be so cool to use my Streamdeck to interact with Foundry." -There's a module for that. "What if difficult terrain was automatically calculated?" -There's a module for that. "I wish my players could change their token for when they're sitting." -TAMFT. It's just crazy.

You could also use Material Deck: https://github.com/CDeenen/MaterialDeck Another module by me that allow players to control their tokens using an Elgato Stream Deck. They can move tokens, run macros (for example to attack), display token stats, and more. Right now you can only use 1 stream deck at a time, but I'm planning to add support for multiple Stream Decks. It's an expensive solution, but it does do what you want it to do (or at least it will soon).

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, and it'll require you to buy hardware, but you could take a look at my Material Deck and Material Keys modules that use an Elgato Stream Deck and Novation Launchpad, respectively, to control and display various Foundry functions. Both allow you to play playlists or individual tracks by pressing a physical button, and both show which playlist and track is playing (through LEDs for Material Keys, while Material Deck can display playlist and names). As a bonus, you'll also be able to do a lot of other cool stuff :)

There's a very loose list of planned improvements being tracked here, but we have an internal document that's more focused and clearer, I just need to take the time to convert it into issues for our tracker.

That said, we are looking at ways of improving compendium functionality like adding long sought after compendium folders and even creating modules (and their compendium packs) from inside Foundry VTT without needing to set up the manifest files by hand. We also want to continue expanding on our currently implemented adventure functionality and explore new approaches for how he we might incrementally deliver content in worlds rather than handling them as a bulk transfer which includes things like redesigning our low-level approach to data storage.

For convenience, if the authorization menu is not available users will now be redirected to the login screen for the currently active world. (6900)

This will likely be addressed in v10 https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/foundryvtt/-/issues/4621

Disabling the Scene's "Token Vision" setting will now properly remove the LOS mask from ambient light rendered on the Lighting Layer. (6797)

The ChatMessage#logged property has been added and indicates whether or not the message currently appears in the ChatLog. (6796)

Log files now also indicate which build number of the software is running, not just the Version number. (6620)

As for the documentation and alerts in the UI, well, https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/foundryvtt/-/issues/6500 is assigned and should be ready for testing in the first prototype release. I'm pretty excited to get it set up for the PF2e system. Tutorials for new players and GMs sound awesome.

Updated pixi/graphics-smooth to fix rectangle masks and holes. (6493)
