macros VS Deadlands-Classic

Here you can find some samples of how to implement dialog boxes in foundry.

No problem, if you need any other code examples for foundry I always point people to here as well. It's a curated list of exactly how to interact with most things in foundry. Much better than the documentation IMO.

This may vary from system to system, If you want some good system agnostic sample macros, I really like the ones in: https://github.com/VanceCole/macros

Updates can also be a motivational issue, if it wasn't for the updating to v9 wiki someone put up I don't think I'd have had the time to go and figure out exactly what I needed to change for Deadlands Classic. My advice is to go dig through the fantastic wiki's that the League have setup and the fantastic code examples of Vance Cole, thanks to these I think I've only ever had to ask for help on the discord twice. Both times I was answered within half an hour and had the issue resolved. I literally only go there for tech support though and only as a last resort, I like a good puzzle.

That's how I always call it anyway. Best place I've ever found for macro tutorials is Vance Cole's github, full of files with macro examples for pretty much anything you'd want to do, just enough to get you started at least.

I was pointed to some excellent macros written by Vance Cole and pushed to GitHub, where I found Vance's Get Entities macro, a collection of snippets that access various types of data from other types. That was what I needed to craft my own version, which I have pushed to GitHub: Get_Entities.

If you want to learn how to code, and is used to make macros in roll20, may be Foundryvtt macros make the bridge. You can start making the same macros you made on roll20 in Foundry script macros, that's a way to start learning JavaScript. I never coded in JavaScript before Foundry, and it's been very educational. You can get the gist of it tinkering with the Community Macros that are available as a module pack. You should also take a look at: https://github.com/VanceCole/macros

So my group is moving onto Foundry after a year of a campaign running in Deadland’s Classic. I have about 15 books in PDF format that has taken years to find and purchase. The current system I am using is https://github.com/RhombusWeasel/Deadlands-Classic I was curious if there was an easier way for me to create all the items, varmints, critters, hindrances etc in the compendium section of Foundry so that all of it is not stored on the server 100% of the time. I am using The Forge for connecting my players. Right now, the only solution I have is inputting all my material one by one which could take me a verryy long time.

I've made a couple of game systems now, one for Deadlands Classic and one for HeroQuest. I'm writing a third right now for a custom Dungeon Crawler.

Out of all of those, I'd recommend Foundry VTT. For a one time fee of $50 (that only one person needs to pay) you get a fully featured and extensible VTT that has lots of neat features like dynamic lighting, line of sight, fog of war, etc. It is extendable through community created modules that can add all sorts of functionality, including full support for game systems, such as this one for Deadlands Classic. v9 of Foundry just added official card deck support, and future updates will continue to improve this.

I made a system for deadlands classic, it's here. https://github.com/RhombusWeasel/Deadlands-Classic
