Roll20 setup guide

[Valarian]

In forwarding ports on the router, I just lost at least two of my players.

Only the GM ever needs to do this.

Hi Heilemann,

I recently installed your One Ring based theme fro Roll20 and I got a strange bug, The right menu bar is too tall for my screen, as a result the lower scrolling arrow and any voice at the bottom of the screen is hidden. Playing full screen doesn't help. This result in me not being able to properly use some element.
Since this happens only when your theme is installed and active, I guess that it might depend from its settings. Usually I play on a laptop with a 1366x768 using Firefox.
I hope you can tell me which lines I have to change to fix this.

Thanks for the effort you put into this.

Yes I noticed that too when I installed it - don't know how to fix it.

Sorry, havent had time to look I to it. It might be a Firefox thing.

I've tried to play around a bit the the Style code and I think it might be a problem linked to the height of the sidebar, but I'm not 100% sure.

Another long inactive thread I'd like to resurrect

Michael Heilemann, you are the king of TOR when it comes to Roll20 and online journals. I just loved to read your website and you were of great help to me. I just started loremastering TOR in roll20 and with your guidance I was quickly up to speed.

Well, it still took me dozens of hours to figure it all out, that's why I'd like to share my results with the community.

This link points to a PDF that contains all the roll20 macros I am using with my free account. They provide quite a lot of support to the inexperienced players and loremasters (I think) but still they are far from the comfort that the "real thing" (with scripts) can do.

Maybe you want to check it out.

Edit: after Roll20 was back today from scheduled downtime I also entered the information in the Wiki. That's a much better place for it I guess

And one more thing. I tried the stylesheet with Chrome and Firefox and it cuts the chatbox (last few lines) in both browsers. This is a pity as it can't be used at all that way. Also pop-out chat window does not help.

Happy to be of service!

uhu78, I'll try and look into it. It's odd because I never experienced it. But, it's been a year since I last ran TOR in Roll20, so maybe something changed.

Regarding the stylesheet provided to give Roll20 a nicer look...

I changed the bottom value in this bit to 180px

Code: Select all

#rightsidebar .ui-tabs-panel#textchat {
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 50px !important;
    height: initial !important;
    bottom: 180px !important;
}

and I also added this bit to hide the ugly "rolling 1t[feat]..." etc. formulas...

Code: Select all

.formula[style="margin-bottom: 3px;"] {
    display: none;
    /*font-size: 10px;*/
    /*opacity: 0.1;*/
}

and now it's just beautiful!

A quick question : May i use that TOR customisation with a free Roll20 account ?
I'd like to test Roll20 with TOR but i don't want to buy a pro account before being sure it suits my needs. Thanks for your opinion.
