Character Vault
The Character Vault provides simple tools for managing and syncing Foundry VTT Actors across multiple instances in order to streamline character management and synchronization. The module assumes basic knowledge of GitHub, including creating a repository and setting up access tokens. You can learn more by consulting GitHub Docs
Actor Context Menu
Players can only use the right-click context menu on an Owned Actor to access import functions.
- Import from GitHub: Completely overwrite an existing owned actor with a json from GitHub (best done on blank Actors).
- Export to GitHub (GM Only): Send single Actor data to GitHub with confirmation notification (this overwrites previous versions )
Game Master Interface
Buttons in the Actor Directory give the Game Master additional utilities:
- Generate Users: Create multiple users and Actors:
- Variables
- Define a folder new actors (default is "Heroes").
- Provide a comma-separated list of usernames (e.g., Valeros,Seoni,Kyra).
- Outputs
- Assign randomly generated passwords.
- Create a blank actor for each user and assign it to them
- Create a chat message with all created usernames and passwords
- Variables
- Upload Folder to GitHub: Upload all actors in a selected folder to a GitHub repository to save any updates from the session. Choose the folder containing the Actors and upload them to GitHub (this overwrites previous versions in the repo )
- Import from GitHub: Use the Import from GitHub button to match and import a folder of actors from GitHub to your game.
- Remove All Non-GM Users: This option removes all non-GM users from your game. It is useful for resetting the game before a new session.
Game Settings
GitHub Settings
To function correctly, these settings must be configured for the module's GitHub integration features.
- GitHub Repository: This is the repository's name on GitHub. Only
username/repo-name. For example, this module isusername/character-vault. - GitHub Path: The folder or subfolder where the relevant actor data is stored. If desired, you can set up multiple folders for different groups/games. The default is
actors - GitHub Personal Access Token: This is the area where the GitHub user enters their GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). The token must have Content read/write access.
User Settings
Currently, there is only one setting for user creation.
Password Strength : Simple passwords only have lowercase letters and numbers. Strong passwords have mixed upper- and lower-case letters, a special character (like @, $, !), and some numbers.
