[System Agnostic] Galaxy map v2

Content Name: Galaxy Map

Content Type: Module

System: System Agnostic

Description: 

Hi!

An update for my free module Galaxy Map is here!

Galaxy map allows you to create a complete map of your own galaxy, with markers for each of your locations, descriptions and a way for your players to travel between them.

With v2 I tried to expand on this while also making everything look just a little bit better.

A short list of the biggest changes:

  • Galaxy map is now split up in 3 layers (Galaxy / System / Location)
    • Galaxy is the top layer, where you can have multiple systems. Each System contains their own planets/stars/..
    • The System layer is where you will place your planets/stars/moons/..
    • Location is a (optional) 3D view of your planet. You can choose between a few simple 3d models to represent it and afterwards you can customise the texture with premade textures or just upload your own worldmap.
  • Integration with another one of my modules, 'Bounty Board'. If you link a scene to both a Bounty & a Location, a small notification-card will pop-up when you hover over the planet.
  • If you link a scene to a planet you can also place a scene-marker on top of the 3d model to show the location of that scene on your planet. If you click it, you get teleported to the scene.

For anyone already using Galaxy map: the migration should go smoothly, however, if you encounter any issues you can always send me a DM and I'll try to help fix it. :)

AI Disclosure: I'm a software engineer since 2017 but obviously I've had assistance from AI during coding.
Commonly used as code-reviewer, bug searcher, css-helper.
For this update specifically it assisted me with setting up & understanding three.js (To render the 3D models) since I didn't have a lot of experience with it yet.
NO art (borders, markers, icons, planet textures, .. ) were made by AI, that was mostly me or stuff from free icon libraries

[System Agnostic] HoloSuite Vending Machines

Content Name: HoloSuite Vending Machines

Content Type: Module

System: System Agnostic

Description: 

Hello there!

A new free module for the HoloSuite collection: interactive sci-fi vending machines.

Instead of opening a normal shop sheet, players can walk up to a vending machine (GM links a region to the specific vending machine), browse what's inside, and buy items directly through its interface.

GMs can configure the products, prices, stock, machine appearance, and other settings, so they can be anything from a regular snack machine to a weapons dispenser, medical station, or shady black-market vending machine.

I didn't want it to look like a pop-up/shop interface so I've been trying my best to emulate the looks of a vending machine. I'm getting close to what I want, but there's certainly some room for improvement. Any suggestions for the visuals (I'm using Inkscape) are very much appreciated :)

Works for Foundry VTT 12/13/4

[System Agnostic] HoloSuite Terminal - Interactive computers for foundry VTT

Content Name: HoloSuite Terminal

Content Type: Module

System: System Agnostic

Description: 

Hey there guys!

A new module has been added to the HoloSuite collection.

HoloSuite Terminal allows a GM to create a complete desktop/terminal interface and have players access it.

Players can:

  • Read emails
  • Download or look through files (Text, audio, video,..)
    • Downloading can be set to a static timer or be linked to combat rounds
  • Access live camera's (if Security Cameras is installed)
  • Login either with a password or by hacking (if HoloSuite Hacking is installed)
  • Activate utilities, such as turning all the lights off or unlocking all the doors

GM's can:

  • Quickly setup the terminal, add emails, files,..
    • Choose which features you want to add to a terminal
    • Choose which data is protected
    • ...
  • Add permissions
  • Customise each HoloSuite Terminal with 4 different desktop-styles and 6 different color schemes. (I'm still learning on how to create interesting visuals with photoshop, I hope to add more cool ones in the future!)
  • Each terminal can be easily triggered for players by creating a region and linking it in the configuration screen of the terminal.

As always, I'm happy with any feedback you guys have for me. :)

HoloSuite Terminal is available through my Patreon, after subcribing to the Early Acces or Premium tier you can download it through Foundry's module browser.

For version 12 / 13 / 14 of Foundry VTT.

HoloSuite is a collection of free and premium modules where I try to add more sci-fi immersion and utilities to your campaigns.

HoloSuite -> A free FoundryVTT module collection for Cyberpunk: RED

Hey there!

I've been developing a collection of FoundryVTT modules to make my own sci-fi campaign more immersive. They're all system agnostic, and I've made sure they also support Foundry V12, so they should work just fine for Cyberpunk: RED. :)

List of modules:
- Bounty Board: Add bounty targets that your targets can search for and claim

- CSI- toolkit: A typical investigation board where you can add evidence and pin it to a screen

- CyberCall: Make pseudo-calls with NPC's or send them a text-message. Also works between players.

- HoloSuite Hacking: Allows the GM to add optional hacking-minigames. Difficulty can be changed dynamically based on skill-checks

- Security Cameras: Add static or LIVE security camera views to the map

- Pulse Scanner: add scannable regions to the map. Players can send out a visual pulse in a radius to scan these targets. (this is the only non-free one but I think it's quite niche)

- HoloDock: A ship-management system, mainly for spaceships but can certainly work for more cyberpunk-like vehicles

- Galaxy map: Easily create a map of your galaxy, could also work for other types of maps like a city-map

- HoloSuite Critical Cut-in: This one is probably a bit useless currently in RED since if I've checked correctly, you guys don't use a d20. It adds a graphical effect & sound to critical rolls on a d20. I'll look into adding a dice selector for it in the near future!

I also want to add a Cyberpunk: RED theme but I don't know a lot about RED and its aesthetics, so any suggestions for this I would love to hear :D

For more info on each module you can take a look at my website:

[System agnostic] HoloDock -> Create and manage your spaceships!

Content Name: HoloDock

Content Type: Module

System: System Agnostic

Description: 

Hello!

I released HoloDock earlier this week!

The module lets GMs create ship profiles, define equipment slots, assign a ship image, pin systems directly onto that image, and track installed items, power allocation, durability, damage state, and activatable ship systems. Regular Foundry Items can be dragged into ship slots and converted into tracked ship equipment, so HoloDock works across game systems instead of being locked to one ruleset.

You are free to choose how advanced you want to go with the module, every part of the ship-equipment is optional.

Players can view ship loadouts from the HoloSuite launcher, and GMs can decide per ship whether players are allowed to install equipment or activate systems.

Also added a node-link system where you can add a little dot on parts of the ship and it links to the equipment in the equipment tab.

One of my next updates for HoloDock will probably be a connection between my other module Galaxy map, but I'm still investigating how far I should go for that.

Hope you guys enjoy it :D Let me know if you encounter any bugs or if you have suggestions!

[System Agnostic] I made HoloSuite, a bunch of sci-fi modules for your campaigns! Bounty Boards, Security camera's, Galaxy Map and more!

Content Name: HoloSuite

Content Type: Module

System: Mostly system agnostic with a focus on DND5E

Description: 

Hey guys!

I've been running a sci-fi D&D campaign in Foundry for years and kept running into the same problem: create immersion for my players

I wanted holographic calls, security cameras, investigation boards, galaxy maps, hacking minigames, and all the other little futuristic tools that make a sci-fi campaign feel alive.

After spending too much time stitching macros and modules together, I started building my own ecosystem: HoloSuite.

  • HoloSuite Core
    • The central launcher that ties everything together. A phone-like interface from where you & your players can start the other modules.
  • CyberCall
    • Receive holographic calls, incoming transmissions, emergency broadcasts, and more. Players can save NPC's numbers and call them through their own HoloSuite. You can also choose between a few custom ringtones (That I've 'masterfully' created in FL studio in about 15 minutes 😄 )
  • Security Cameras
    • Create surveillance networks and broadcast (LIVE) camera feeds directly to your players. You can choose between a static image or select a Region that you've placed on the map. Even if player's don't have vision, they will be able to see through the camera-view.
  • Crime Scene Investigation Toolkit
    • Build investigation boards filled with suspects, evidence, locations, and timelines. Perfect for mystery or noir campaign's where the players get clues and have to figure out the culprit.
  • Galaxy Map
    • Create interactive star maps with routes, discoveries, factions, and travel systems.
  • Bounty Board
    • Post jobs, contracts, and bounty hunting missions for your players.
  • HoloSuite Hacking
    • Interactive hacking minigames where player skill checks influence puzzle difficulty.
  • HoloSuite Critical Cut-In
    • Fun critical hit/fail animations that make natural 20s feel legendary & natural 1s depressing. Upload custom audio & images!

All of the above modules are FREE and will stay that way. My idea is to keep adding and improving modules to the HoloSuite (Free and commercial), with the more 'niche'-modules being behind my patreon.

They are all optimised for Foundry v13 although most of them seemed to work just fine during some smoke tests on v14, only critical cut-in isn't available yet for v14.

I would love your feedback on this, there's a lot of work to be done on the styling to make it feel more polished so that will probably be the first big update for these. 😃
