Foundry VTT Importing from DnD Beyond

Описание: Hello everyone, in this video we take a look at Mr. Primate’s DnD Beyond Importer for Foundry VTT. We start off with the basic steps needed to fully utilize the importer and then import the spells and items. Afterwards, we edit that compendium to fully utilize JB2A assets, sound effects, and DAE. This will allow us to only set up spells once rather than having to set them up for each individual character. We take an in depth look at the JB2A macros written by Otigon as well as Maestro sound effects. Last, we finish with the character import and testing to make sure our customizations were carried over.

I didn't cover settings in this video for the other modules. This a good guide for DAE/MIDI-QOL in general made by Kandashi. The only addition would be to make sure you have to "macro to call on use" box checked in the MIDI-QOL workflow settings: https://github.com/kandashi/Dynamic-E...

1.) Download and install the chrome extension
2.) Get the cookie from the extension (Do not share this cookie with others)
3.) Add the DnD Beyond Importer into your Foundry game, edit the settings as necessary, add the cookie.
4.) You can add the iconizer module to your game, but unless you create a custom dictionary it won't make any changes. An easier way to update the icons is to make sure you have the box checked "use icons from the inbuilt dictionary." You can even uncheck the box "use icons from the SRD compendium," as the inbuilt dictonary covers these spells as well.
5.) Import spells/items into your game. Make a backup of these compendiums**
6.) Edit the compendiums as desired, adding in effects/sounds/etc.
7.) Create a new PC, click the DND Beyond Importer icon, add the URL from DND Beyond, change settings, import the character.

**As a word of warning, I have yet to attempt a DDB Munch on an already customized spell compendium. I will attempt and update if steps are needed to avoid losing user made changes.
