Isometric Module Update 0.10.291.1: Pro & Basic Enhancements + Comprehensive Tutorial Video

Hey Patrons!

Grape_Juice here, and I'm thrilled to share with you some fantastic updates to the Isometric Module for FoundryVTT!

Both the Pro and Basic versions have received enhancements, and your support has been crucial in making these improvements happen. Here's a breakdown of what's new, with technical details for our developer-savvy subscribers:

Pro Version Updates:

Download Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/80594244

General:

• Added module settings options to enable or disable Pro features in the Isometric Module, providing flexibility for performance optimization or addressing bugs.

Pixel Perfect Tile Selector:

This feature allows selecting isometric tiles based on their non-transparent pixels, ignoring their bounding box.

• Utilizes an optimized shader-based method, leveraging the gl object selection technique.
• Changes:Resolved issues when switching scenes.
  Enhanced caching efficiency for the shader.

TokenOccluder:

This feature provides automatic detection and occlusion of tokens by isometric tiles when tokens move "behind" them.

• Highly optimized implementation, employing a shared texture buffer for all tokens and tiles, with heuristic bounds detection for iso-transformed textures.
• Implemented a custom z-buffer texture for all tiles, which serves as input for the token's occlusion shader.
• Entire process utilizes shaders and textures to maximize performance.
• Debuted in this version!

Basic Version Updates:

General:

• Resolved an issue with the Windows version of the Isometric Module, where it detected changes in hooked core Foundry due to '\r\n' shenanigans.

Canvas:

• Introduced "Dungeon Builder" projection options for Dungeon Builder exports.
• Added an option to draw the grid below isometric tiles, preserving the isometric "illusion" and preventing the grid from interfering with the isometric tiles' appearance.

Sight:

• Improved wall positioning detection relative to tokens in the Isometric Module, used for hiding or showing tiles based on their location.
• When global light is enabled, vision range will be ignored, making it suitable for PFE2 and Lancer systems.
• Added an option to set isometric tiles attached to walls as occluders for the Token Occlusion feature from the Pro version.

Tokens:

• Addressed elevation issues in the Isometric Module, now accurately adjusting elevated tokens based on grid sizes determined by the game system (e.g., in 5e, 5ft = 1 grid).
• Introduced an option to disable the token elevation effect.

Thank you for your continued support!
And thank Sheppi for providing all the art in the video,please visit their patreon page for more stuff: https://www.patreon.com/SheppiTSRodriguez

Your feedback and enthusiasm have been vital in helping me develop and enhance these features for the Isometric Module in FoundryVTT. I hope you enjoy these updates, and as always, I'm eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Don't forget to check out the in-depth tutorial video included in this post! Happy gaming!

Update to V9.280 (0.0.26), fixed hex sizes support compatibility

Small update for hex players, I fixed the iso module to work with token size support, so now you get to have hex sizes in isometric, Lancer players rejoice!

go get it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-to-v9-0-0-75005697

Update to V9 (0.0.26)

Small update for hex players, I fixed the iso module to work with token size support, so now you get to have hex sizes in isometric, Lancer players rejoice!

Isometric Module for v10 initial pre-release

Hooray, it's here!

please note that this is this version is for testing, no assurances for older scenes to work, a migration functionality will be released with the next version to migrate v9 to v10.

small update: Work started on V10

There are many changes that need to be made to add support, so I took the opportunity to do a total re-write of the module, this will be easier to maintain in the future.

Not a lot to show as of right now, but we have the basics working, iso grid, dropping tokens, and the rest of the basic foundry features such as measurements, and lightning.

Some nice to haves added are the animated tool tips, and wiki links (and translation support for all the options).

Isometric Module update v0.0.25

Minor release, 

fixed auto walling feature.

Free Isometric Maps and Assets Mega Pack

Heya, decided to put the maps and assets file here instead of uploading it every time.

🎉Isometric Module Support for Foundry v9 Is Released🎉

It's here,  support for Foundry's latest version, available for patrons as EA.

Thank you everyone for your support, and love for isometric, since this is an EA release for v9, expect the v8 version to go public and FREE. 

As before, this version includes free maps, and tokens donated by creators, so if you like something don't forget to show them your support.

Interview about the isometric module

Hey, Foundry Hub's Matt did an interview with me on the isometric module, I think you'll enjoy reading it, a bit about why I made the module, where it's going, what is my favorite drink.

Added Features to the Isometric Module

Heya!

I wanted to update you on some features added to the module due to some feedback,

First, a patch by gregdwilson has been added as a toggle option on the scene config which fixes the position, no more insane offsets:

This will be the default for new scenes when Foundry 0.8 is released, and the toggle will be removed:

An added benefit of this is FXMaster and Token Magic FX now work:

Another important QoL additions are the Pixel Perfect Selector for tiles:

The Difference is really noticeable:

A new tool to automatically surround tiles with walls

for now either regular or terrain, future versions will also work for scenes backgrounds(you can do it manually by dropping a scene tile for now), more wall types will be added and grouping, selecting multiple tile will surround all of them as a group, useful for people using terrain walls to build scenes (instead of using the tile attacher ahm.. ahm... you know who you are)

Distance Culling and Light Culling

The new algorithm for detecting whether the token is seeing the tile or not now takes into account it's sight radius, if a tile is outside the token's radius or a light radius it won't be seen. (determined if a ray sight is able to hit the attached wall).

After:

That's it for now, unless I forgot something :)

Isometric Worlds module Map Collaboration

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce a collaboration with Isometric Worlds, they make amazing isometric maps and tokens.

Check out the module, it contains a subset of their maps, and will get updated as more maps are released on their part and be sure to check the Dynamic Dungeon Map it's the coolest :)

You show definitely sub on their patreon for the complete list of the maps, and the more support they get, the more maps we get :)

Dev Blog Updates #1

So as the month coming to it's end, I took a small break to review everything I've been working on this month.

Let's have a look at the current project:

FG_Converter - Oh wow, so many changes to list, but here are some:

• Updated to Foundry 0.7.7 and DnD5e v1.1.1 system which means no longer waiting for the world to load for the first time after conversion.
•  Added Support for FGU
•  We now have really cool icons for each item converted, since FG is a bit weak on the eye candy, and foundry just introduced around 4k item icons, I added a feature that uses some fuzzy name matching algorithm to add an icon for each item/spell converted as part of a world conversion.

• Added loot parcels - each loot parcel will now be represented by an actor that has the loot parcels item in it's inventory, including currency. (and the special loot actor for pf2e )

• Added initial support for SWADE's and CoC's characters, npcs, and items.

• QoL - added a toggle for disabling the upscaler
• QoL - added links in reference manuals, character and npc backgrounds, and general art

• and many bug fixes as usual

Isometric Module

• The Major change was adding support to foundry 0.7.x which introduced drastic changes to the light and vision system. 
• Added a change to keyboard keys orientation to move in isometric directions
• Work with more than a handful of foundry module devs to add support for their modules to work with the isometric module
• Added option transparency when standing above the tiles instead of hiding them completely

• Worked on adding a special shader to show how token are represented when behind "hooked" assets (but still needs work to be released for general use)

Minimap 

• Added support for foundry 0.7.x as it broke the module
• Added auto fog updates for player maps when they move
• Added support for video backgrounds
• Bug fixes

HeroLabsOnline Import

Added initial support for importing, it works, now we need to map the objects between HLO and foundry and the module will be ready for release

Material (Manual) Dice 

• Labeled over 15k images manually, call me crazy but that was therapeutic.
• Trained the model for over 150 hours, it is showing really good results so far, over 85% accuracy

• Created a server that runs the model, build a small webapp that takes pictures, and basically closed the loop from foundry to the server to the phone camera.
• More on that later :)

Secret Projects

Well, if you read to here, you deserve to know that there are some collaborations I've been working on with some artists, to bring something back to all our supporters, should drop any day now

N.B

I might have forgotten a feature or 2 in the update, but I feel that moving forward updates will be added more frequently so I won't forget them and for all of you to have an easier way to see progress rather than reading it up on the discord.

🍇I want to thank all of you for supporting me this far, and hearing you enjoy my work means the world to me, it really does!🍇

Isometric Module - shaders are cool

I think i nailed down the best way to represent a token partially visible behind an isometric tile, using shaders.

But don't worry if that doesn't look cool enough, it'll be configurable with some other options, such as color outlines for enemy/ally, predator mode, negative, and whatever crazy idea you come up with in the comments or the discord.
