I'm having issues with character specific options. I've changed some options a couple times and they keep reverting back to the default settings. Any advice?
@Tiger Apricot: The only issue that I know of that's like that is if you change the custom dice options (not other options) from within the popup when clicking in the icon in the address bar (not when clicking the "Beyond20" button in the sheet itself), in chrome (not in firefox), then click elsewhere to dismiss the popup (rather than click somewhere else within the popup itself).
If you're using the popup on chrome to change your custom dice option, then you must either press Enter or click somewhere else (to unfocus the text field) before dismissing the popup for it to get saved.
If that's not your situation, then I have no ideas, haven't heard of any similar issues and I've changed settings extensively as I test things out.

So I've got a character with the dueling fighting style so I want to only attack using weapons in one hand. I can't switch the options for this character to only use one-handed it keeps defaulting back to rolling both options separately. Also I swore I saw an option to roll crimson rite dice with attacks once before but I don't see it anymore. Was that a thing previously or am I going crazy?
I don't know why your settings aren't getting saved.Are you on chrome or firefox? If you make a change then reload the page, does the change get saved? Are you doing anything that might cause this, like opening it in an incognito window or clearing your cache or something like that?
As for Crimson Rite, you're not going crazy, Beyond20 will show you character specific options based on their class features when it knows what class features you have. So if you click on the 'Features & Traits' section, it will parse it and give you those options. Those options do get saved though so you would only need to do that once, the fact that it disappears tells me your extension settings are getting wiped somehow. I have never encountered this and have no idea why it could happen.
I think you're using chrome, and do you have a google account logged into chrome itself ? Do you have 'synchronization disabled' for the account? According to the documentation, even if you don't have synchronization enabled, settings will get stored on the local computer instead without problems, but that's my only thoughts at this point on what might be causing an issue.

I'm using Chrome, I can't seem to get any settings to save for that specific character. I took a look and I can get other character specific settings to save for other character sheets. I'm not sure why it seems to not want to work for this specific character.

I hope this helps.
I checked an I do have syncing turned on for the google account logged into chrome. At this point I might just try to remake the character and see if that fixes the problem.
@TigerApricot: So the issue is just with one character sheet. That's weird. Anything special about it (like, you don't own it but someone shared it with you?) Although that shouldn't affect anything, it might explain it.
@everyone: I've just released Beyond20 v1.0 and it now has Discord integration as well :)
when i click on the dice to roll, the roll won't show in the roll20 chat, if i roll for initiative the roll won't show in chat but my initiative will get added to the turn queue
when i give my character the poison condition, it popsup normaly

You have to target your PC and also need to have cursor in the roll20 chat
I stumbled upon this plugin as a new DM to Roll20 with our group moving to virtual temporarily with all the COVID-19 craziness and just had to come say a huge THANK YOU! I've been creating all of my monsters, items, etc. in DDBeyond for my group and was absolutely dreading re-creating the content in Roll20 to make it run smoother. This saved me sooo much time and will help me immensely!
I've recommended to all of my players as well. Thanks for all your effort in this plugin - it rocks!
The fact that this works with Discord now made my game this weekend awesome. We normally play at my place but the quarantine made us try to do it remotely.
I didn't even have to mess with Roll20. I just pointed a camera at my game table and managed all of the minis myself. Then I shared that screen to my players. It wasn't hard for them to tell me where they wanted me to move them, and things progressed as smoothly as ever.
Hey everyone, thanks for all the kind words and I'm happy to see it used by so many people and everyone having such great experience with it.
I don't have a lot of free time on my hands lately, but I still read the comments here.
@pastorbarndog: If chrome or firefox works in Mac OS X, then it works on Mac OS X. I do believe some are using it with Safari, but maybe I'm wrong. I know for sure though that people use it on Mac.
@artemisthemp: You shouldn't need to open roll20 first. Who knows what went wrong but maybe try re-installing it like Radkon did to get it to work ?
I don't know if it's inexperience with Discord, but I can't get the Beyond20 bot to announce results in-channel. Secret is there, I've made sure it has permission to talk in the channel, but all it does is paste empty messages every time I try to roll something from my test character's character sheet.
Anyone managed to get it working on Discord, and have any idea what is going awry?
I figured it out. Discord's handling of not previewing web links means block being able to see the web link exists at all. Results were quite mystifying, bots & people saying lots of nothing...

Waiting for Google to finish review of the extension and have it published it on the Chrome Store, but it's available for Firefox already.

@Mr__Koala: It's probably related to the game's character sheet template in Roll20. Read this for more info : https://beyond20.here-for-more.info/faq#all-i-see-in-roll20-is-an-empty-message
Silly question.
Does it work on Mac?
I looked through a page or two and I didn't see so I wondered.
HI
I always get the error message VTT not fond
I have
- the roll20 Char Sheet in roll20
- Allowed players to import own chars
- both Tabs opern ( roll20 & dndbeyond)
Can you help me ?
I get that message if I "opens" my DDB character sheet before opening Roll20.
Try opening Roll20 first and then your DDB character sheet to see if you still get the error message
Thanks but that did (edit: NOT) solved my problems. (edit: forgot the most importnat word *facepalm*)
My game id is https://app.roll20.net/join/6233135/Q3kh9w I do not know where I would have restricted Access

I am experimenting with this right now, and I have to say:
As a very appreciative DM who got "sponsored" by a very generous player last year with everything this site has to offer:
it blows Fantasy Grounds out of the water with its simplicity.
Thank you for putting this extension together. It really is a marvel.
