2.0.0 (2026-11-07)

A full rewrite by MidNiteShadow7 of Ada Lindberg's PageFX 1.3, which had not changed since 2017. Version 1 tokens keep working, and !pageFX on and !pageFX off still work.

Fixed

• Effects only ran on the page with the player ribbon. Players moved to their own page (split party) saw nothing, because effects were spawned without a page and only ribbon-page tokens were started. Effects now run on every page with players on it, each drawn on its own page.
• The area and page edges were worked out from the ribbon page, not the effect's own page.
• Aura radii assumed 70 px cells (radius × 70 / scale), so areas were wrong on pages with a different snapping increment.
• A NullFX area grew or shrank with the size of the PageFX token being checked, not its own.
• Saved custom FX were spawned twice each time.
• A random direction never worked for saved beam-like custom FX.
• Bar values were used as text in the interval maths.
• Moving or selecting a PageFX token restarted its timer.
• Effects did not start when the sandbox started, only when the ribbon next moved.
• A debug message was logged on every beam spawn.
• Errors, such as a saved FX that could not be found, only reached the API console; the GM is now told.
• Effects had no limit, which made games lag with fast effects. Each page now gets at most 30 spawns a second (a setting).

Added

• Chat menus: a main menu of the effects on your page, a card per effect with buttons for every setting, a presets card, settings and status.
• Effects made from any token: create, preset, fx, interval, direction, area, name, delete, and no-effect areas with null create.
• Layers: one effect can spawn several things, each with its own timing.
• Built-in FX in any type and colour, saved custom FX, and custom FX definitions pasted as JSON. Missing values in a definition are filled in, and PageFX saves its definitions as its own custom FX so Jumpgate draws them in colour.
• Per-effect on/off, pause and intensity, plus pause all, resume all and global intensity.
• 23 presets in four packs: weather, fire and heat, water, and magic. Other Mods can add more.
• Triggers: start, stop, switch, fire or burst an effect each round or on a round, on a token's turn, or when a token enters or leaves an area, for player tokens, any token or named tokens, once or every time.
• GM Page Preview setting: also run effects on the page a GM is looking at.
• PageFX - Help and PageFX - Command Deck handouts, in 24 languages, and a Language option on the Mod's settings page.
• Commands from other Mods are accepted, and a public API: start, stop, pause, resume, setIntensity, fire, create, remove, getEffect, listEffects, isRunning, registerPreset, listPresets and checkToken, alongside version 1's functions.
• status, rescan (take over copied tokens and forget deleted ones) and journal rebuild.

Changed

• The main command is !pagefx (!page-fx too). !pageFX on and !pageFX off now resume and pause every effect.
• Settings live in state.PageFX, keyed by the effect token's ID. Version 1 tokens are taken over on the first start; their GM Notes, bars and interdiction marker drive them until they are changed from chat.
• Random points are spread evenly over the area, where version 1 bunched them towards the middle.
