JB2A - MASTER POST

As far as I can understand, there's a "Sqyre's Module Manager". You should be able to paste the manifest link somewhere there. Keep in mind that you will temporarily need twice the size of our module in free space to install it. FoundryVTT downloads the zip of our module, extracts and installs it, and only then does it delete the zip archive. If this fails, you might need to get in touch with the SQYRE people, as we have no control over how they operate I'm afraid. I hope that helps :)

JB2A

Hi! I’m trying to install the JB2A Patreon module on my Foundry server hosted on SQYRE, but I’m stuck. The issue is that I don’t have direct access to the actual server filesystem / modules folder (or I’m not sure which folder SQYRE uses as the real Foundry runtime modules directory). I can only access SQYRE’s file manager / assets area. I tried uploading the module manually to what appears to be: home/User Data/modules/jb2a_patreon but the module does not appear in Foundry after restart. Could you please advise: What is the recommended way to install JB2A Patreon on hosted platforms like SQYRE? Does the Patreon version support installation via Manifest URL on hosted servers? Are there any specific folder structure requirements I should double-check (for example, module.json location)? I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thank you!

Александр Васильев

You shouldn't try to install via manifest link on the forge. Link your Patreon account, refresh pledges to make sure it's up to date and you should be able to find our premium module in the bazaar. https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/guides/#patreon-module

JB2A

I joiined the Rare level and have been trying to install the manifest URL into Forge but I keep getting an error that it cant be downloaded. Am I the right tier to be able to get these assests from the manifest link? Specifically this one https://storage.jb2a.com/s/NryqmcGQfn3y6QF/download The error I am getting is Failed to install module: Unknown system error -122: Unknown system error -122, write

John D

Same problem here. Any updates on this?

Ty

A few people do experience that, unfortunately. Not sure what could be the issue. Perhaps a micro-disconnection. An alternative is to use the "Complete Collection" zip and install our module manually. Here is a guide on how to do it: https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/guides/#manual-install

JB2A

I'm trying to download the assets but it just stops at 100%. plenty of space on hard drive. anyone experienced this problem? I'll add I do have the free asset pack already installed, if that matters.

Billy Stewart

We only provide the assets. However, assuming you're on D&D5e, you can install the D&D5e-Animations module that will add a LOT of presets to Automated-Animations, preconfigured to use our animations. https://foundryvtt.com/packages/dnd5e-animations Also, you may want to read our wiki if you want to understand things a bit better https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/prerequisites/

JB2A

I downloaded and installed it, along with "Automated Animations", but in the game, only weapon attacks and some cantrips work. Do I need to configure all the spells manually? (I have a rare subscription)

Lucca Gustavo

I’m limited to Foundry v10 how can I install version 0.5.8?

Daniel Coutinho

I've seen Gornetron answered you in Discord. Let us know if you've resolved your issue

JB2A

The only alternative I know of is to download the "Complete Collection" zip and install it manually, as decribed in this guide: https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/guides/#manual-install

JB2A

when installing thru the manifest link i am getting extreamly slow download speeds, we are talking 18 hours for 40%

Darik Vaskovsky

I keep getting "Error: Timeout" when trying to install it through the Manifest Link

Tyras

I am getting a 'fetched failed' error when trying to load (just moved to v13). I use Molten Hosting. Would this be a module issue or the server end?

Kevin Flynn

Hi, these don't include sound paired with the effect?

Mikelp79

Yes, you can and should delete the free version now that the Patreon version is installed. If you had tiles and actors set up with filepaths from the free module, we can provide a macro on our Discord to "batch-fix" those if needed. Thanks for the kind words and for letting us know about that missing information. We'll add it somewhere

JB2A

Hey maybe a dumb question - should i delete the free version when i have installed the patreon version? i havent found an answer to that in the installation guide etc. Great work :)

ApexusTime

Have a look in the Sequencer module setthings for an option for "PIXI Fix". Turn it on if it was off or turn it off it was on. It should fix it. Otherwise, try another browser, and/or update your graphic card drivers :)

JB2A

No, we don't have a smaller, tailored module. Too difficult to know which animations are used or not. We'd like to give this kind of possibility in the future but it's complicated and we're not much closer to a solution yet. We're not giving up though, maybe someday. Sorry about that!

JB2A

Im having a problem where the edges of my tiles are scuffed. Like, its not registering transparency properly maybe? Rainbow artifacts and such.

Iron

weird Question, when I go to install it seems to be like over 8gigs or so. I could of sworn my earlier versions were never this big before. was there a recent large jump in size? Is there a smaller one that is just for PF2e?

erinchiarelli

Hi! No, you're good. Our module is basically a big library of assets, it's compatible with most versions of Foundry VTT.

JB2A

If so is there a manifest link for this version somewhere I cant find it on the webpage

Lewis jull

Hi guys Im Running V12 331 rules I managed to update to 0.8.0. My question is should i only be on 0.6.8? with the versions im running ?

Lewis jull

The latest release is compatible with V12. If the manifest link doesn't work, maybe try installing it manually, using the "Complete Collection" zip. Difficult to help you here without knowing a bit more about your setup though. You can read more about this on our wiki: https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/guides/#how-to-install Also, you could join our Discord server so we can try to help you, and get to the bottom of this :)

JB2A

IS the manifest link for v0.7.9 still available? Can't get V0.8.0 to install on V12.

Charles Shoopman

Hello, if you're talking about the "Only New Stuff Zips", then yes, that's why they're here! Here is the documentation on updating our module. This is explained in the second method. https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/getting-started/guides/#patreon-module-1

JB2A

Hello. I am about 3 versions behind. Will copying each one into Foundry allow me access to each one?

james

Ah yes, that happened to a few people. I believe it's a Forge thing. A way to fix it is to refresh pledges by going to the Forge settings, under the Patreon tab, then hit the two circling arrows on the top right corner (see image below) https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/_astro/theforge-account-patreon.CE_tBMLB_2tw8IM.webp If that doesn't work, you may have to re-link your Patreon account in the Forge settings. Once that's done, you should be able to find the latest version of our Patreon (called "premium" on Forge) in the bazaar :)

JB2A

I looked at the documentation, but I don't understand how I can update the patreon version on ForgeVTT. It seems that the last available version is the 0.7.0. Any info on this?

Sasane Sane

We don't provide the sounds, no. Just the animations! However, PSFX is creating sounds that are synced up to our animations. It's slowly growing in size and the D&D5e-Animations module has already linked these to our animations for the system. There are also plenty of resources online if you'd like to expand the selection yourself. We've started to list some of them on our wiki: https://jules-bens-aa.github.io/jb2a-wiki/external-resources/sfx/

JB2A

hello, no sound with the effects ?

Mog Watt

Installing 0.7.2 from the manifest link worked for me in 12.331!

Danny Boy

🌈💋✌🏻

Geraldo Suarez

Manifest URL Link currently does not work on Foundry 12.331 as of 08/17/2024. Downloads, install process starts then abruptly ends. Module is then erased automatically.

Nyla Amour

Amazing. Yes I was testing out using the Sequencer and Automated Animations today and it works beautifully. I run SWADE system so I'll have a look and see if I can find some SWADE animation modules that incorporate Sequencer.

Samarth Bellur

You're quite right. Strictly speaking, you only need filepaths in order to create a tile. However, if you enable our JB2A module and the Sequencer module (the driving force for animations in FoundryVTT), we register all of our assets in a sequencer database, which makes it easier to preview our assets, using the Sequencer Database Viewer, and adds some required info for ranged animations and template animations to function properly. From there, you can write some macros or you can rely on Automated Animations (which uses Sequencer behind the scenes) and trigger animations along with attacks, spells, features...etc On top of that, modules like D&D5e-Animations or Pf2e-Animations will populate the Automated Animation's auto-recognition menu with loads of pre-configured attacks and spells. There are many other ways and modules to make full use of our assets but what I've described is, I believe, the core of it. Note: We have stopped supporting the FXMaster "special effects" menu for many reasons, mainly because Sequencer arrived and it was way more practical and sustainable. Feel free to join our Discord for more info and it makes it easier to "show" you by sending screenshots and/or videos :)

JB2A

Yes thank you so much. I have a question with using the module. So I have it enabled in my World's Module Manager, but as I understand it we basically just add it as tiles, or use FX Master or Automated Animations to trigger those effects? Is there any purpose to enabling the module in Foundry? We can just add the assets and select from there? How would you recommend we use the module?

Samarth Bellur

How strange... well, glad you got it working nonetheless! :)

JB2A

It said it cannot read properties of null. I did the manual download and it worked 😃 but not sure why the manifest url didn't work.

Samarth Bellur

It does work. I've just tried it! Can you go into more details as to what you've tried exactly and if you have had any error message in the console (F12)? Make sure you have at least 12GB of free space in your disk containing your user data folder. If it's really, really slow, even though you have a good internet speed, try the manual install using the Google Drive mirror link for the "complete collection" zip. Instructions are in this post too.

JB2A

The manifest link is not working for me :( It says it cannot read properties of null....

Samarth Bellur

The manifest link still does not work :(

Samarth Bellur

Interesting, I thought just pushing the "refresh pledges" button was enough when something like this happened? Anyways, glad it worked for you :)

JB2A

Was having loads of trouble updating from 0.6.9 to 0.7.0 in the Forge. It kept telling me I was unauthorized to update and that I had to link my account. In case anyone else is having this problem, uninstall the module in the Bazaar, go to your account to unlink and relink your Patreon, then return to the Bazaar and search for JB2A and you'll be given the option to update which will finally work.

soilentbrad

works fine, reinstalled the module and it installed it without issues

Waywolf

I am experiencing the same issue, Foundry currently on v12.328

Digmarx

Manifest link is currently NOT working for 12.238. It's giving an error: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id') Currently downloading to try manual install.

Terry A. Lee

Manifest is now working for the very latest FoundryVTT V12.328 If you still have the manual download, make sure the folder in your modules folder is called exactly "jb2a_patreon", without the version number at the end, and directly contains the module.json file inside it. Then restart your server.

JB2A

same thing for me

Danny Danny

Neither the manifest link or manual install work. After installing manually Foundry shows an invalid module in the directory. I'm on the latest stable Foundry version 12 - 327

CommanderCodex

Ah, I think you've reached out on Discord, which is a good idea :)

JB2A

You have to install it manually for V12 as I explained in the comments above. The steps are explained in this Master Post.

JB2A

I use the manifest link and it acts like it is installing the module and then it doesn't show up in my installed modules after it shows the installation has been completed. It also does not show within the registry of modules to turn on or off in any of my worlds. If I try to install again it does the same thing. I have restarted foundry completely and this is the same thing over and over. Can you provide assistance?

Joshua Kirk

Posted a reply above: We've noticed an issue with the manifest link in V12. We're investigating as best we can. Foundry staff is understandibly busy so it may take a while for us to figure it out. We first thought it was our new file hosting service when we switched from Dropbox, but it seems it has to do with either the zipping method, the size of the zip and/or NodeJS/V12 acting up. However, the manual install in V12 works correctly.

JB2A

Manifest is not working for me in foundry.

Raymond Baker

Removed old Post. Found my issue when manually placing it. I left the folder name jb2a_patreon_0.6.8 When I renamed it to jb2a_patreon it worked.

Marc Hertogh

What do you mean by Manual install. I downloaded the zip, placed it in the module folder. Restarted Foundry. And it is not detected. Do I need to do anything else to have Foundry recognize it? I figured it being in the module folder was enough Found my issue. Found my issue when manually placing it. I left the folder name jb2a_patreon_0.6.8 When I renamed it to jb2a_patreon it worked.

I just tried downloading full file. Extracted and placed into the modules folder. Nothing. Its like it does not exist.

Sage J

I paste the manifest link, it downloads and then nothing. Its just not there. Very frustrating

Sage J

I'm on V12 and encountered the same issue. I was able to work around this by installing the free content module through foundry, and replacing everything inside that folder with the files from the complete collection.zip download. Then renaming the folder to "jb2a_patreon". I haven't noticed any hiccups with foundry so far.

My name Macray

Same issue ive spent three days trying to get the Zip to install and the manifest link worked once, froze then didnt work again after that, huge issue since this pack is Required for a magic missle fix that im trying to run.

Braeden Barnett

Had issues with the manifest link today as well. Still trying to work it out. I am on FoundryVTT V12 though, so that might have something to do with it.

I have the same problem

Nathan Boyer

Hello! Manifest link is not working.

jaye_decay

Hello, could you help me? I have been pumping JB2A in all ways. Both with the Link and the Zip file, but nothing works. the mod simply does not appear in the list of modules and does not work correctly

Артём Шупеня

Hi! you think maybe it's possible transform the pack into an extension/module for FGU? (fantasy Grounds Unity)

Dottor Morgan

Thank you for your reply. Indeed, when I reread your post I saw that there was this problem. So I followed the instructions you gave above. Thanks again :)

Cybninja

Thanks for the report. We did receive a notification from Dropbox telling us they deactivated the link for excessive traffic. Hopefully the link will be re-activated in the next couple of days. An alternative is to use the "Complete Collection" zip in the meantime. Sorry about this.

JB2A

Hi JB2A team, I'm sorry to tell you this but your manifest link isn't working. When I click on it it says that it has been deactivated.

Cybninja

Morganthe

The link is back up for now :)

JB2A

It's usually 3-4 days if I remember correctly. Dropbox sends us a mail when it's down but not when it's back up unfortunately so we have to check every now and then

JB2A

Any ETA on when it'll be back up?

Hung Duong

Ah, we received a mail from Dropbox. The manifest link has been taken down for a few days...

JB2A

If you're trying to click on the "update" button inside of FoundryVTT, it doesn't work like that. Every update, you need to use the "Only new Stuff" zips, or use the manifest link by copy/pasting it in FoundryVTT. Contrary to the "Only New Stuff" zip, the manifest link will re-download the whole module however.

JB2A

I'm not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but I am getting an unexpected token '<', '' error message when I try to update

Steven A

I just want to say thanks. You all rock and my players love the animations. File management and hosting can be a pain and yall have been handling it well. So thanks!

Raymond Baker

Yes, dropbox allows for 4TB of bandwidth a day, which is never enough for all of you! 😅 When it is exceeded, our links are disabled for a "timeout" period (usually a day or two). It's always possible to use the "Complete Collection" zip and unpack it into your FoundryVTTData/modules folder. And if you already have a version installed, use the "Only New Stuff" zips to go from one version of the module to the next. (you need to overwrite duplicate files)

JB2A

looks like the manifest link works again. seems as though the dropbox link gets overloaded with new releases?

Craig Smith

Manifest link down D=

Seren

Same, manifest link down...

HuskyHighlander23

The manifest link to me dont works

Fabricio Maturana

The link in this post no longer works.

Luvac Zantor

Nope, that's the way FoundryVTT works, it downloads everything from scratch when you paste the manifest link or click the update button. It's usually a good practice when you consider most modules are very small but we are the exception. That's the reason why we provide the "Only New Stuff" zips so you don't have to re-download everything every update :D

JB2A

Anyone have a good way to update the manifest URL within Foundry? Trying to avoid having to redownload the whole thing every time the manifest URL changes.

Ben Dimick

We might not design animations specifically for the Kineticist by name but we'll try to make some animations that can be used as such :)

JB2A

Question are there Animations or planed animations for the Kineticist Class from Pathfinder 2e? ^^ Like more an Avatar Element shooting

Nev

used this to download the zip straight to my foundry VM, super handy - thanks!

The "file"? We haven't changed anything. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that?

JB2A

Hey guys, looks like the "only 0.6.1" and "only 0.6.2" download links are broken. I'm personally missing the 0.6.2 stuff.

Zac Jennings

I can't even get it to load manually...

The Witty Bitty

As a long time user of JBA, the Manifest Link almost never works. I have always downloaded manually and updated manually. Yes, it is a pain, but it works 99.9% of the time. Thanks to J&B for the efforts to find a solution.

Ben

Our module is still available, you can download the Zip and make a manual install. I have explained everything in this post. Please read.

JB2A

Thank you

Why is the link down? I paid for this, please make it available soon.

Phoenix Fritch

Just wanted to say I love these :) Awesome work!

Andrew Barkley

Our module is around 5.6GB currently. And if you're using the manifest link, FoundryVTT downloads the zip, unpacks it, installs it and then deletes the zip. So technically you would need twice that size, unless you upload the module yourself, using the "Complete Collection" zip and unpack it on your computer before the upload. If you're having issues, you can file a ticket with Versace over at Molten so he can maybe help you with that.

JB2A

How much space do I actually need? You say over 3GB, but I've cleared 5GB and it's still not enough. Is this an error? I'm using Foundry on Molton.

Daniel Knight

E Rad

Yes, we have to go through each asset and convert from Webm-Vp9 to Webm-Vp8 as a few platforms are not compatible with Vp9 at all, like Unity. It will take us quite a while but it is planned :)

JB2A

Fantasy Grounds is my VTT and awhile back I downloaded/installed everything from the masterlist and found that A LOT of the animations are don't work in FGU. Some of them seemed completely random because one animation would work, but the same animation with a different color wouldn't. Those are the odd cases, but a lot don't work at all. Is this a known issue and if so, has it been fixed or are there plans to fix it?

E Rad

@JB2A add the note to the FoundryVTT instructions to lock the module. Otherwise, if you try to hit update all, anything that is batched alongside the assets gets hard stuck trying to update and hitting the dead link.

Denys Babych

If you mean PF2e-Animations, yes. MrVauxs is still working on it. Ways to make your own effects is through Automated Animation's Auto-Recognition menu. Create an entry in the relevant tab and configure it as you wish using A-A's menus. If you want something a bit more complex than what A-A is offering, you'll need a Sequencer macro that you can trigger from this auto-rec entry for example.

JB2A

Is pf2e spell effects still supported and updated? Is there ways to make our own effects?

Messyb20

Nevermind I'm bad at directions.

Raymond Baker

Could you elaborate? You can't update our Patreon module from hitting the "update" button in FoundryVTT. That's why we provide a different manifest link every update.

JB2A

Nevermind I'm bad at directions.

Raymond Baker

We provide the animations but no automations. You'd have to talk to the relevant module's developer. We host a channel in our Discord server for modules like Automated-Animations and D&D5e-animations if that helps. Maybe Someone can answer that there. https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

I'm getting an error on both Summon Fey and Moonbeam, moonbeam brings up an issue about height and width then deletes the summoned moonbeam after placing it, summon fey seems to bring up something about a method being deprecated

Joel Bennett

How have you attempted the update? From the "Only New Stuff" zip, from the "complete collection" zip or from the manifest link? It would be easier to show you on Discord though, if you don't mind. Patreon is quite limited when it comes to exchanging quickly about troubleshooting issues :D https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

I am having issues updating from 0.5.6 "Error Parsing Module Manifest data from then i get UNexpected token < in JSON at position 0

JB2A

Hi, When will FoundryVTT v11 update can be expected? I get compatibility warning under v11.

Omair Quraishi

ok thanks!, I'll give it a try

Zilch

Unfortunately, Dropbox is the only one that offers a perma-link feature (necessary for FoundryVTT modules) and a lot of bandwidth per day. The download getting interrupted is most likely because of your internet connection. A possible workaround is to use a download manager to download the "Complete Collection" Zip. If your connection gets interrupted, the manager remembers where it stopped and continues where it left off once it's back on. Something like Persepolis Download Manager has worked for others in a similar situation: https://persepolisdm.github.io/

JB2A

Hey guys, I've been trying to download the file for like the past 3 days but foundry will freeze at like 21% completion and directly downloading it from dropbox causes the download to fail partway through. I've even tried adding it to my dropbox, synching it and downloading to the dropbox application on my computer with no avail. Is there any chance of another location where it can be downloaded? I've used these assets in the past and they were awesome so I'd love to be able to use them again. Thanks guys!

Zilch

Oh, sorry to hear that, it is good to know. I've swapped the links to dropbox just now. For at least 2/3 days after a release, we have to use an alternative for the "Complete Collection" and the "Only New Stuff" zips, to try and keep the bandwidth on dropbox within our allowed quota per day. I will try to remember to switch the links back to dropbox a few days after the release. Feel free to send me a message to remind me :D

JB2A

The new google drive links add a lot of pain to using them with a foundry install on a headless linux server compared to the old dropbox links, because of google's redirects breaking the ability to download them using command line tools.

Mothringer

If you have our Patreon module, you don't need the free but they are compatible, meaning it won't break if both are installed. If you're talking about the latest "extra" module we launched in this release, it is a completely separate module and you can install it as well, yes.

JB2A

I try to update it and include it in our macro compendium each release but I always find something new to fix or tweak 😅 If you ping me on Discord, I'll send you to a thread I created about this macro.

JB2A

The animated assets module that in foundryVTT, is that the free version? do i need both?

Orionox

Hey guys! I was looking for the updated macro (Melee_Attack_Advanced_A-A_v5) referenced in the v0.5.7 Release but I'm not seeing it anywhere. could somebody let me know where I should look for that? Thanks!

Perry Anderson

Thanks, it should be fixed! :)

JB2A

Hi, the "new content only" link for 0.5.6 doesn't seem to work?

Yorick

Thank you!

Miriam Feldhausen

That's fair. A few people have had weird behaviours when trying to upload the whole pack themselves. I'm not sure why. The manifest link is back up though! :)

JB2A

I find that manually transferring the complete archive to my hosting provider is very error-prone. The manifest link seems more reliable. I can do the incremental updates by hand, but the initial installation is problematic.

Peter Humburg

We're still waiting on Dropbox to get back in touch with us. We wish we could give you an estimate but the truth, sadly, is that we don't know. Is the manual install, using the "Complete Collection" zip, impossible with your setup?

JB2A

Out of curiosity, when do you expect the manifest link to be online once again?

Bradley Dum

Cloud blob storage (like Amazon S3) should be able to handle this without much trouble.

Will Briggs

See y'all are already on the Manifest Link piece :) I'll await the Patreon Complete Collection Part 1 and Part 2 =}

Andrew Barkley

We are not against the idea necessarily but the requirements are pretty niche. That's why Dropbox is kind of the only service that comes close to it, at least until we can use differential updating on FoundryVTT, which should be coming with V11! If you know how to set the self-hosting up, hit us up in a mail or on Discord. Keep in mind that it would need a good download speed for everyone of course, we also need to be able to set a direct-download link and being able to re-upload the same file without changing said download link (required for making a module on FoundryVTT) and the link needs to be a direct-download....

JB2A

What about self hosting?

Unomagan

Gitlab could be a solution, it have large file storage and the free version is very good. Managed to direct download it.

Kedibey

Thank you for the report, we have exceeded Dropbox's limit once again. We're working on fixing it but in the meantime, the only way to get the module is via the "Complete Collection" zip (which is a google drive link). Sorry about that!

JB2A

links is down

Kedibey

The direct download link of the complete collection has been corrected. It is now pointing to the v0.5.6. Sorry for the inconvenience.

JB2A

That I realized aalso. The link downloads yeza and not zuala

Joerg Polzin

The complete collection link seems to be pointing to v5.5.01 instead of v5.6

Stefan Teleu

If you still can't install through manifest link, I would suggest you trying the manual install using the "Complete Collection" zip. Instructions are on the top of this post, in bold text. I hope that helps, let me know if you need clarifications.

JB2A

Could you ping me in our Discord server please? https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m I can't replicate the error and it would make it easier there, as we can share screenshots and/or videos. I'd need to know a bit more about your setup as well.

Gotcha - thanks for the quick response :). All sorted!

Christopher Leggett

Our module does not update automatically from within FoundryVTT. You need to use the manifest link (which will re-download the whole module) or use the "Only New Stuff" Zips and do it manually for every update

JB2A

Just tried to update via Foundry (self-hosted) and I get an error: The requested manifest at "https://www.dropbox.com/s/pmqyvphrytk9llx/module.json?dl=1" did not provide module manifest data. fetch @ foundry.js:59187 - We were OK until 0.5.3

Christopher Leggett

I appreciate the kind words :) I already have ideas on how to improve the macro so it makes it easier to implement and tweak from within the Automated-Animations module 😄 I'll post it tomorrow in the #shared-macros channel on our Discord server with an explanation and some pictures or quick videos to help you set it up. Feel free to ask questions in there, once it's up! https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

I was just checking in to see those sleek katana animations i saw a while back, then i saw the melee-group like particle effects. i -can not wait- to get these in my players hands. even if i have to do em custom myself. so cool!

Dan Gragert

Automated Animations is not made by JB2A. Otigon writes this module on his free time and some of our animations might not be implemented in the dropdown menus. You should be able to add it using the custom field however. Best to ask in the A-A section of our Discord server. More knowledgeable people than us will anwser and we can share screenshots to explain. I hope that helps :) https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

For actors ability use the mod Automated Animations. It's amazing

Andrea Fornasiero

I'm using Foundry and the animations work great. I installed using the latest complete manifest link and I can see the swirling feathers animation in sequencer but I'm having trouble finding it when trying to add it to an actor action. I checked under generic and it's not there in the automated animations list. I checked a bunch of categories but still can't find it. How do I use it for an actor ability?

Ironocy

Hi! Sure, if you hop into our Discord server or the main FoundryVTT Discord, someone will try and help you. I can't find you in either one :) JB2A Discord : https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m FoundryVTT Discord: https://discord.gg/foundryvtt

JB2A

Hi, i'm new to VTT Foundation, can some one give me a bit of help ? (My Discord LyFly#8244)

Piven Denis

You shouldn't use the manifest link on Forge. Just link your Patreon credentials in the Forge account settings; click the "refresh pledges" button and you'll be able to install our "premium" module from the bazaar. This way, it won't count against your Data quota, which is a bonus! :)

JB2A

So i am a Forge user, and the manifest method times out, perhaps its just too big? I have 1+Gb in Data and 13+ GB in assets free....

Ric V

Ok, oops, it was an HTML error from my part. It should be all fixed now. Thanks again :)

JB2A

Ah? Thanks for the heads-up, we're looking into it now

JB2A

can confirm not working for me aswell

Danie Van Zyl

The "Only Xandis v0.5.4" link are not working here

LoboVolkov

Would love to see more condition effects like petrification and the like. Keep up the awesome work!

Sir Motte

YES! We need those.

Jorge Campos

Any chance of you guys ever doing Whips (Like a Balor fire whip?)

Luis Aviles

Hehe, you're right ! Silver linings ! ;)

JB2A

Bandwidth issues are kinda nice, because it means you're loved :D

Jordan Beasley

I ended up getting the manifest link to work. Thank you for the quick response.

RoguesNtheHouse

I’ll give it a shot and let you know.

RoguesNtheHouse

You could install Persepolis Download Manager from this Github page: https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis/releases This will make sure that even if your internet connection gets interrupted, the download won't get cancelled. Let me know if that helped.

JB2A

Which Zip are you trying to download? The "Complete Collection Zip for backup or Other Vtt Users"? If you're having issues with Dropbox and Google drive, we could try to upload it somewhere else but it might be coming from your connection being interrupted or something. I'm not sure it would resolve this issue. I'll get back to you tomorrow if we think of another way to send you the zip.

JB2A

So I cannot install via the manifest link and my zip file downloads are failing. Am I on the right page, or am I trying to access archaic links? If not, what is the third option here?

RoguesNtheHouse

Mine has been at 78% for quite some time.

RoguesNtheHouse

That's what I ended up doing.

Reid Bathgate

Even the complete collection zip? Some people have trouble with Dropbox for some reason, this complete collection zip iis hosted on Google Drive. Might have more luck with it. It's a manual install though so you'll have to drop the folder called "jb2a_patreon" into your FoundryVTTData/modules folder. Hope that helps

JB2A

It's just timing out for me. It might be too big.

Reid Bathgate

Good catch, thank you! The link was good but I forgot to change the text...doh! Fixed now!

JB2A

Think you have a typo! ♡ From Thordak (v0.5.0) to Uriel (v0.5.1): Only Thordak v0.5.0 I think is meant to be From Thordak (v0.5.0) to Uriel (v0.5.1): Only Uriel v0.5.1 (Took me a second to find the new release!)

Daarka

The path "modules/JB2A_DnD5e/..." is for the free module. But everything from the free module is in the Patreon module as well. On the Asset Viewer (website), you can click on the Patreon logo on the left of the filepath to switch to the Patreon pack. The paths will update accordingly.

JB2A

On the asset preview website, there is a group in Generic called Energy. I do not have that folder in my patreon pack. The path in the viewer says modules/jb2a_dnd5e/. Is there another 5e specific module?

Anthony Bragg

Thanks for the report, we're investigating the issue. We need to confirm but it seems we are victim of our own success ! Dropbox seems to be the issue. We're looking into alternatives. Thank you.

JB2A

Links do not work for me giving 404.

Peter

Dropbox is giving me a 404 error, it seems to be redirecting with 302s

Jykinturah

Ooops, sorry about that. wrong link. 😅 It is fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up! 🙂

JB2A

Stuck on v4.8? Using new Complete Collection Manifest Link after getting email about Thordak. I uninstalled JB2a and did a full install as well with the link, same result. Edit: tried new link; it works.

Michael Lawyer

I can't download it, it's crashing at 52%

Rafael Vilasboas

I'm also having some problems with installing the manifest link for Foundry.

Sean Tai

Not the Forge

Robert Revesz

It's not on the Forge is it? Anyways, I've sent you an alternative link.

JB2A

I also have problems. The installation through the provided Manifest link errors out (local install). "Error: end of central directory record signature not found". This is for Foundry VTT v10 build 284

Robert Revesz

Instructions are in this post! Forge users should not use the manifest link. You have to go to the Forge account settings, link your Patreon account (and maybe hit the "refresh pledges" button) then our "premium" module is available from the bazaar :) Note: This way, it doesn't count against your Data quota!

JB2A

well dling and manually installing didn't work, gives error when trying to read the zip file

David Quillen

WhenI try to install at forge it times out. I am currently dling the zip to my system, to manually install where should I upload the files?or is there another link I canuse in theinstall on forge?

David Quillen

That's correct, the manifest link actually makes a clean install of the module (uninstall and re-install). It's true for all modules in FoundryVTT except when you do it yourself manually using the "New Content Only" zip for example to go from one version of the module to the next by drag and dropping the extracted zip into your Data/modules folder and overwriting duplicate files. I hope that makes sense :)

JB2A

Can I confirm that, for Foundry, new content will already be applied if I just update your installed Complete Collection module? I installed via the manifest link.

Josh Murphy

Hi, can I request an alternate link for the complete collection? My download always fails like others have reported.

A

Sure, no problem

JB2A

Could I also receive the aternate link? It seems to also be freezing up around 35% in foundry, and when I try to download the complete collection it says it's corrupted so I can't extract it

Mateus Glaza

same here, freezes at 36% :( can I get the alternative link too?

Samuel Ferraz

Hello ! Archive seems corrupt and download freeze on foundry too so I can't use the module :/

Billy

Thanks :D

I sent you a message with the alternative link :)

JB2A

I'm also not able to download, both in the browser and in the foundry it reaches 36% and freezes completely. I've tried downloading it like 6 times.

Hmmm, that might be because FoundryVTT needs double the amount of space so that it can unzip and then install the package. Let me upload the zip on GDrive, I'll send you the alt link.

JB2A

Vicente Abellán García

I'll send you an alternative link 👍

JB2A

Hey! My download freezes at 41% in the foundry and through the zip link it downloads only 1.8gb and ends, What can i do?

Nickolas Velloso Martins

Yes, you need to copy/paste the manifest link that changes every update. And you can lock our module so that it doesn't trigger this error if you update all your modules at once.

JB2A

When I attempt to update the module in Foundry, it says the dropbox link is not found/valid.

Hunter Becker

Someone on Discord made us realize that FoundryVTT unzips the archive and needs double the amount of free space when it installs. This might have been the reason. The alternative is to install it yourself uploading the extracted "jb2a_patreon" folder from the complete collection zip directly in your "Data/modules" folder. Glad you sorted it out though !

JB2A

I'm also having an error using Molten. The download reaches 100 and then gets stuck. My data on Molten then fills up. Unless this module is 8 gigs I don't think that should be happening. Quick update, uninstalling the free folder and then reinstalling the patreon one seemed to work fine.

Jesse Jones

When you launch the FoundryVTT app, you can right-click on the icon in your taskbar and a few options will show up. Click on "Browse User Data" and it'll open a new window where you can see the "Data" folder. Inside of this is the "modules" folder. I could show you a screenshot if you join Discord, it would be much easier to explain ! :D By the way, if you're on Forge, this will not work. You can join our Discord server from this link : https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

where are this "foundryVTTData" folder?

Eric

If you download the "complete collection" zip, you'll find a "jb2a_patreon" folder in the zip. In your 'FoundryVTTData/modules" folder, you can delete any pre-existing "jb2a_patreon" folder and replace it by the new one. If you're updating with the "only new stuff" zip, you'll also find a "jb2a_patreon" folder that you can drop in the pre-existing one and OVERWRITE everything (so it picks up the new script files and module.json).

JB2A

how can i manually install the module?

Eric

Sure I'll send it to you shortly :)

JB2A

Hello, Love the work! Tried to add the master to my game and it got an error on the traps portion can I get another link?

Zach Felder

Could you join our Discord so we can quickly resolve this with a couple of screenshots, just to see exactly what is going on ? https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m Thank you

JB2A

Hey, I can download it but it tell me "error". What can i do? Thanks :) I love your work btw.

Jérémy Barbier

I believe you need to find the 'refresh pledges' button which should be in your Forge settings, from where you linked your Patreon account.

JB2A

Hi, I've linked my Patreon, but Forge's Bazaar still says 'Unlock' for the module and I can't install it. Clicking that button just takes me back here. Any advice?

HyperactiveCoconuts

Thank you, I must have copied it from the wrong place... my bad. It's fixed now !

JB2A

Here is the alternative link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mH8JZQPxZeeIw2j5UdoupjBbnTQCDKA-/view?usp=sharing It's a manual install though. Let me know if you need help with that

JB2A

Complete Collection master link still goes to 0.4.3 instead of 0.4.4 as of this message

Shane Zuspan

Hello! My download got stuck at 51%

Rogi250

Everything is included in the Patreon pack. More precisely, all the animations in the free pack are included in the Patreon one 🙂

JB2A

If I am a patron and use the DL link, should I also use the JB2A module in Foundry or is that free content included in the link? Thanks for all your hard work, y'all are amazetails.

Urial

It depends. If you were using FXMaster in your macros, even though it's possible to fix them for now, I would recommend starting from scratch by making the transition to Sequencer macros which are a lot easier ! The best for that is Discord as you can post your macro and we can take a look at how best to help you. Here is the documentation on Sequencer. Really well done with tutorials and all... https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer/wiki

JB2A

I'm curious, I have finally updated my foundry itself. and since I did. the macro's I made pre update don't work anymore. There have been a lot of changes to the program itself, and a lot of changes in modules. Is there a mention of if there are adjustments/tick boxes I need to update, or do I just need to make the macros all from scratch? Thanks.

Alaskankare

Hello, I've tried to download a certain number of times and it always stops midway, is there any alternative to the ones on the post?

Archpeasant

Yes, I'll send you an alternative link shortly

JB2A

Hi, i was trying to install on foundry and the download got stuck in 39%, do you have any other way to install this module?

Artur Ferraz

Sure, I'll send it to you shortly :)

JB2A

Hello, thanks for your work. I'm having some issues with the module, as other people and as you said in the main post, I can't fully download the module. May I have the alternative link? I'm using Molten Hosting with plenty of space, if it is necessary to know.

viktorkrumluisunoss

Sorry, I missed the notification for your comment ! I sent you an alternative link :)

JB2A

Hi! I'm attempting to install the module via FoundryVTT. I've tried it three times now, but the download gets stuck for hours on the same percentage. First at 44%, then at 36% and now at 35%. My connection seems to be working just fine, too.

Pedro Henrique Labrador

Hello I use Molten Hosting, not Forge, do I need to do anything differently? Thank you. UPDATE: It gets to 100% on the second load and then Error appears in the button next to Update All.

Abourious

Hello, I am using Foundry Server and this gets to 100 % twice, on the second time it gets an error

Matthew Smith

Hi, i have the download problem too, i tried multiple times but always get stuck, with foundry and Direct download. Can you send me a new link plz ? Thx ! :D

Pingou

Answered on Discord and a couple of comments above ! 😜

JB2A

I am trying to install in The Forge using the manifest link. I keep getting a time out error.

Joshua Short

It is planned but considering the time it took to make the written guide for the Token Animator, it will take us a while. We want to focus our attention back to our animations for now ! There are videos of Ben working through it on our Youtube channel though so if you understood the Token Animator, you should be able to follow. And we do provide help on our Discord server, feel free to ask ! :) Thanks for the feedback, it means a great deal !

JB2A

Is there a guide for the Map Animator like the Token Animator? Been having great successes with the Token Animator so I'm pretty much dying to test out the other.

Miles Bridges

Again, on Forge, you're supposed to go to your account settings and link your Patreon account there. Then you can install our 'premium' module through the Bazaar. This way, it won't count against your data !

JB2A

I´m using The Forge to host Foundry. My results: 1)Manifest: Failed to install module: Error 520 2) Zip: Error reading ZIP file contents. 3) Local directory: Install very fast, working!

José Cavalcante

My download is stuck too! Around 45% it just stops. :/

Bruno Müller

Sure, I'll send it to you in a message

JB2A

Is there still a working link for the "New Content Only" of the previous release (Imogen Release v0.3.9). I missed DLing that one and don't want to reDL the entire collection to get those assets.

Ty

Could use a new link as well please. Getting errors at 100%.

Manta

Hi. I cant download the manifest link. Can you help me please?

Rumplus

Yes, I'll send you an alternative link in a DM :)

JB2A

Hey guys, I tried to download from the Manifest Link on foundry and it stops arround 40%~50%. I also tried the Complete Collection Zip, but the download seems to fail and the file gets currupted. Is there any other way to download it?

Alan Miranda de Freitas

Hello! I have the same issues with both the manifest link on foundry (stopped at 86% in my first try and at 60% in the second one) and the complete collection which stopped downloading and became corrupted around 50%.

Charis Lamprou

I've sent you a DM. Hopefully, that resolves your issue.

JB2A

I am also having the same issue of it getting stuck or timing out.

Grim

Thank you! Locking it down!

ALEXIS K LAJOIE

I'll send you a DM. Thanks for the report

JB2A

I tried to download from the Manifest Link on foundry and it stops arround 40%~50%. I also tried the Complete Collection Zip, but the download seems to fail and the file gets currupted. Is there any other way to download it?

Marcel Alpiste

Yes, as I mentioned in a comment just above, it's a harmless error. We fixed it since. Since our module can't be updated using Foundry's internal update tool, we recommend you lock our module so this error doesn't bother you anymore. Or you can change the 0 to a 1 in the module.json as you did. Thanks for the report !

JB2A

Your module.json manifest valriable has the last variable of the url set dl=0. Thus when Foundry tries to update it gets back the dropbox page, not the file... you need to set it to dl=1. I did it locally and that fixed it ... temporarily... because as soon as I updated, it downloaded the module that had dl set to 0 again and so the next time I got the error.

ALEXIS K LAJOIE

We don't have an automatic update system in place. You have to copy and paste the manifest link every update I'm afraid. The instructions are explained in this post. Let me know in a message if you're having an issue. 🙂

JB2A

it is actually 0.3.7

Edwin

Yes that is correct when updating modules. It definitely is not an issue at all. Everything works and is just a minor annoyance like you said. Lock is a great idea will make sure to do that for going forward.

Digital Mason

Could you check if the module is recognized as being the v0.3.9 ? We'll update the zips anyways but it shouldn't impact anything.

JB2A

Ah, yes good catch ! If I understood you correctly, it's throwing an error when trying to update all modules, correct ? Technically, it shouldn't be an issue (except for the annoying error message that can be circumvented by locking it I think) Thanks for letting us know, we'll update this tonight or tomorrow.

JB2A

do I need to change something on foundry every time it updates? I updated modules and got "the request to -link- did not provide a valid manifest file"

Edwin

I think the module.json file in the new stuff zip might have an incorrect manifest line item. The zip has "https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrvkqepffr24cr3/module.json?dl=0" but I believe it should be "https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrvkqepffr24cr3/module.json?dl=1". When I made that change the invalid manifest file error Foundry was throwing went away. Just thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is experiencing an issue.

Digital Mason

I've sent you a personal message with an alternative link 👍

JB2A

Hello! My download stops at 37% , can you help me? thx :D

Jeremias Gola

Sent the link in a message :)

JB2A

Hi! I'm trying to download the Complete Collection but my download keeps getting stuck at 43%, can you help me?

Bruna Rocha

Yes, I'll send you an alternative link shortly

JB2A

The download stops at 52%, can you help me?

Ederson Vieira

We're just a library of assets so the question is not intended for us I believe ! However, it might have to do with Permission settings in the Sequencer module settings :)

JB2A

Hello, can you make so players can also select animations? ^^

Nocky Adamo

Sent you a DM too :)

JB2A

stuck at 43% too

Victor Dias

I sent you a DM with an alternative download. I hope that helps.

JB2A

How can i download manually and add to Foundry cuz it is getting stuck at %43 ?

Burak Güner

I think that the manifest URL changed after the update, copy the new one and download the whole module or just use the "Only new stuff section". Should work probably.

Kamil Hudson

I'm trying to download but it's always at 81% and the error. Foundry VTT

Redlight

I'm getting a error: "...not a valid manifest url"

Caio Di Giaimo

I'm not sure why this wouldn't work but in any case, you shouldn't have to install it this way. On "The Forge", all you have to do is go to your account settings, link your Patreon and you can install our premium module via "The Bazaar". This won't count against your quota !

JB2A

Same (bought it, but can't install it). I have 10GB of space, but the dropbox link is timing out about 10min in trying to install. I'm using "The Forge" to host. Thanks.

Christopher Alvarez

I'll write it again here so that other people might find the info : You have to go to your Forge account settings and link your Patreon account there. Once that's done, you should be able to install it from the Bazaar. If not, click on the Refresh Pledges button and try again. I hope that helps !

JB2A

When I click on unlock for the "JB2A - Patreon Complete" module in the Bazaar it just loads a Patreon webpage that leads to this post, and doesn't attempt to link my Patreon account. After refreshing the Bazaar webpage it still shows as locked.

Carl Richard Hoopingarner II

You're supposed to install our premium module through the Bazaar so that it doesn't count against your data on Forge.

JB2A

Bought it. Can't use it. Puts data over the limit for Forge.

Kevin Hendrix

It's in section 2 of their Master Post ;)

Patrick Schweicher

That's just how Foundry does things. It completely overwrites the module each update. There are instructions in this post about the 'Only New Stuff' Zip that can go around having to download the whole pack every time. You would need to overwrite the files manually however. The FoundryVTT team has started to think about this issue but it's understandably not a priority for them as large modules such as ours are an exception.

JB2A

Do I remove the older JB2A module? then install this one? I just copy/pasted the manifest link and now it looks like it's downloading everything again. What do I do with the old one?

Omair Quraishi

Strange. A similar issue was because of micro-disconnects from the router/internet box. Could you hop on our Discord and post this in our #troubleshooting section ? We can try and narrow down what's causing it.

JB2A

kbreezy

It's not just you!

Owen Sechrist

With our module specifically, no. All errors from Automated Animations and Sequencer have been dealt with, as far as we're aware. Vauryx is still working on updating Advanced Spell Effects for V9. That's pretty much all we know !

JB2A

has there been any issues with foundry version 9? or is it just me?

Sterling Anderson

Thanks for letting us know. Not sure either but a good old fashioned 'turn it off and on again' generally solves a lot of issues ! 😂 Glad you got it working 👍

JB2A

The link still isn't working for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. When I use the URL it gets to 100% and nothing happens. UPDATE: I rebooted my machine and it is working now. Thanks. Not sure why I had to reboot.

rebelDog62

Amazing work JB2A, thanks

Dave Newton

Should be fixed ! Very sorry for the inconvenience ! And thanks for reporting it

JB2A

Should be fixed ! Very sorry for the inconvenience ! It's the same link

JB2A

Same here.

Charles Arney

Thanks for reporting the issue, we're looking into it now

JB2A

yeah, same here, it must have been a mistake as that link was returning 0.3.3 a few days ago

Dawid Sikora

Same here

Dawid Sikora

Hi! Idk if its only me but the Dropbox link seems to be still giving the 0.3.2 version :(

Tronikart

Online gaming is never quite the same as in-person. Voice Mod and animated assets do that little bit extra to raise the bar so it can compete with those memorable experiences at the table. <3

Dan Gragert

Glad you like it ! Thanks for the kind words and the support ❤️

JB2A

I really enjoyed having these in Astral, making the jump to Foundry, i'm glad i don't have to lose one of the greatest things that beefed up my game presentation this year. Excellent work <3

Dan Gragert

All zips have been updated to include all the fixes and new files for the patch so if you're on the Artagan v0.3.1, the 'Only new stuff' zip is all you need ! When you drag the content of this zip, you'll need to 'overwrite all' which will replace already existing files that needed fixing but more importantly, the module.json and script files need replacing !

JB2A

I have not installed yet the buddy release (Dec 1st), is the "Only the new stuff" file complete with the 0.3.2 and 0.3.2a patches? Or should I overwrite all?

Thiago Geraldes

Fixed ! Thanks for the heads-up !

JB2A

There are assets missing when using the manifest link vs just downloading the zip. The one I noticed so far is the modules/jb2a_patreon/Library/3rd_Level/Fireball/ folder is missing when installing with FoundryVTT and the manifest link.

Ryan Kuchenmeister

Could you find us on Discord ? https://discord.gg/njHNzeEZrX Troubleshooting issues are way better suited to Discord as we have a much quicker back and forth discussion, share screenshots...etc Patreon doesn't have a great tool for this unfortunately. Thanks !

JB2A

I am not sure why, but the warhammer animation completely freezes my game. Every other animation seems fine

Carey Burns

Thanks for the big answer, found this out after joining your Discord. So many cool people with great ideas out there! Keep up your work!

Fabian Gehler

Hey ! Sorry if we lead you to believe that we're providing tools in FoundryVTT to use our assets but we are mainly just providing a library of video assets. There are a few ways to use these assets with modules such as Automated Animations from Otigon, Advanced Spell Effects from Vauryx for a few more complex spells and effects and Sequencer from Wasp, amongst others. We have developed our assets to be used as instantaneous spells and attacks because modules such as these were being created and people responded very positively to it ! These modules have great documentation you can read on their respective Github pages and the fantastic community on our Discord is ready to help you understand how to use them and even how to create macros for specific effects you would like to combine. Feel free to contact us here or on our Discord for more in-depth explanations. There is just a bit too much to cover here, in one comment ! :) Thanks for the feedback, we'll try to make sure this is more apparent from our informations. https://github.com/otigon/automated-jb2a-animations https://github.com/Vauryx/AdvancedSpellEffects https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer https://discord.gg/gmd8MAPX4m

JB2A

Hey Guys, just started suporting you. Maybe I am just blind but I've looked through all your updates and found things like animated weapon attacks and Chain Lightning, but I have no option for these in Foundry. For example Magic Missile and Eldritch Blast do have the ASE Tab, but I couldn't find these with Chain Lightning or the melee weapons.

Fabian Gehler

thank you

Michael Rivera

It's not a dumb question ! You do need to paste the manifest link for every new release which will download the whole pack unfortunately as this the standard way of FoundryVTT to make sure it's a clean install Alternatively, we provide a zip file containing "only New Stuff" that you can paste in your modules folder and overwrite.

Dumb question, do I need to repaste the manifest link each month and delete and install again each time (Foundry VTT), or can I just do it once and it will auto update each month? Sorry for the ignorance.

I've manged to get the premium module installed, thank you :)

You don't need the manifest link for Forge ! If you install our module through the bazaar, it won't count against your data limit I believe. Let me know if the issue persists.

So turns out the problem was that I didn't have enough game data with Forge. My limit was 2GB, but the module is a little over that. I've upped my data, but now the module has spent over 50 minutes installing itself. The download bar worked as expected, but it's been at 100% installing for over 45 minutes.

Hi there. I've tried installing the module using the dropbox manifest link, but have failed 5 times. The first progress bar completes without issue, but on the second progress bar the error occurs after it hits 100%. Specifically, it says "Installation failed: Unknown system error -122: Unknown system error -122, write". I'm using Foundry 0.8.9 through Forge hosting. and the error also occurred after uninstalling the free module.

Strange, do you have any errors in the console ? (F12) I'd recommend you hopping into our Discord server or the FoundryVTT discord as we can better help you with this. I haven't heard of a similar issue since a few release ago and it was because of folder permissions in a web-hosted server on AWS or an equivalent service.

Haven't been able to get the update to load (it's stuck at the grey screen after logging in (the Foundry logo is visible on the upper left corner though). Previous version was working for me but I uninstalled and reinstalled the full one... anybody experienced this?

That's weird, we have no issue from our side and nobody else reported an issue from there. We'll set up another download link for you. I'll send it to you in a private message when it's uploaded and ready

New content zip file doesn't work. Always gives me a Failed - Forbidden error.

That Halbard animation is weird, its striking with the back of the handle rather than the bladed part. Edit: Ok my bad, i just noticed there are 6 different animation styles 😂 I Have settled with using type 5 😁

Should be fixed. Sorry for the disagreement. Maybe next release we'll manage to make it a flawless one ! 😅

JB2A

Sorry about that, we're looking into it now. Thanks for bringing it up

Manifest link will not download.
