User Latency v1.3.8 Bugs URL

I own the library Ping Logger which just adds in the latency of all the current users next to their name. I find it incredibly helpful and useful, especially when people get hiccups. If you see someone spike to 2000 or something, you can expect to just wait for them to come back.

You can check if the lag is network related with https://foundryvtt.com/packages/ping-logger

We had a similar thing occur in our Starfinder game, though the symptoms were more widespread and affected everyone. The slowdown affected everyone: simply moving across the canvas took ages, and actions took very long to show up in the chat log. This would also show up in the Ping Logger output as a very high ping (12k ping, which is 12 seconds, the time it took any one of our computers to querry the host's computer).

I would advise trying self-hosting first and if it works well for you then you're good to go. If you have lag, then perhaps look into a hosting platform. I'd also advise getting the Ping Logger mod. It shows the ping speed for each user next to their name. That way you can see if any lag is user specific or if all users are having issues.

This can definitely be done with Sequencer but it isn't necessarily going to be the easiest thing in the world. Automated Animations might also help, but I haven't used it in a while.

FoundryVTT-Sequencer - Sequencer is a powerful module that lets you play visual effects in your scenes, attaching them to tokens or other elements, animating them, quickly and easily removing them, play sounds for all or specific players, run macros one after another in a controlled way, and so much more.

I don't use it myself so I can't say for certain, but I believe this should be possible with the Sequencer Module.

Sequencer v2.4.3 Bugs URL

Isn't sequencer update 2.3.0 for v10? https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer/releases/tag/2.3.0

However the module "Sequencer" supports a function (via macros you'll need to create) that allow for playing a file at a particular starting point. See the documentation here.

That said, the special effects functionality of FXMaster is not being developed any further actively and might actually be removed in a future release. This is because there now is a module that does it quite a bit better: https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer, so you might want to take a look at that (JB2A also integrates with it, e.g.). FXMaster will instead focus on particle effects (the weather effects) and filter effects.
