socketlib

This module uses the socketlib library for wrapping utility methods. It is a hard dependency

requestor

This module uses the requestor library for a better visual display experience for the user. It is a hard dependency

Better Rolltables

This module uses the Better Rolltables for more flexibility with harvesting. It is an optional dependency and it is recommended for the best experience and compatibility with other modules.

Item Piles

This module uses the Item Piles for convenience with sharing. It is an optional dependency and it is recommended for the best experience and compatibility with other modules.

NOTE i need really help with a good documentation of this module, please someone help me...

Harvester Feature

This action allows the Harvesting action to be linked to a standard rolltable retrieve the result items.

In the standard Harvest Rolltable sheet, the "association" field is the name of the token monster with the name of the rolltable! So "Name of The Monster" === "Name of the Rolltable" (case insensitive).

If you have any doubt about the matching try out the api method and open a issue:

game.modules.get("harvester").api.testWithRegex("Shadow Demon", "Shadow Demon Arcane")) => boolean

The re are two module settings to add some preferences to the search of the term:

• Enable exact match for search on source reference: By default we try to guess with some regex what you want for example (checkout the readme table). IF YOU JUST WANT A EXACT MATCH enable this module settings."
• Enable any suffix match for search on source reference: By default we try to guess with some regex what you want for example (checkout the readme table). Usually 'Shadow Demon Witchguard' and 'Shadow Demon Servant' give the same results so to avoid the duplicate of the rolltables you can enables this module settings and create one RollTable 'Shadow Demon', this will convert the source reference fomr 'Shadow Demon' to 'Shadow Demon(.*?)' for the regular expression check. If you already have set your regular expression DO NOT ENABLE THIS.

IMPORTANT: By default we try to guess with some regex what you want for example if you loot a "Shadow Demon" it will positively validate a rolltable with "Shadow Demon Arcane", but not the reverse and will not validate "Shadow Demon Psych" with "Shadow Demon Arcane", here a table of examples:

Source	Target	Result
Shadow	Shadow Demon BBB	true
Shadow Demon	Shadow Demon Arcane	false
Shadow Demon Arcane	Shadow Demon Arcane	true
Shadow Demon Arcane	Shadow Demon	true
Shadow Demon BBB	Shadow Demon	true
Shadow Demon BBB	Shadow Demon Arcane	false
Shadow Demon Warrior	Shadow Demon Arcane	false
Shadow Demon Guard	Shadow Demon Arcane	false
Shadow Demon Cro	Shadow Demon	true
Shadow Demon Witchdoctor	Shadow Demon	true
Shadow Demon BBB	(.?)Shadow Demon Arcane(.?)	false
Shadow Demon Arcane	(.?)Shadow Demon Arcane(.?)	true
Shadow Demon	(.?)Shadow Demon(.?)	true
Shadow Demon BBB	(.?)Shadow Demon(.?)	true
Shadow Demon Arcane	(.?)Shadow Demon(.?)	true

Example 1
Name of the monster: Wolf
Name of the rolltable: Wolf or Harvester | Wolf
Result: get any monster 'Wolf' with a BRT Rolltbale with the same name or subset of names 'Wolf'

Example 2
Name of the monster: Wolf
Name of the rolltable: as regex: /^Wolf/ or /^Harvester | Wolf/
Result: get any monster 'Wolf' with a Rolltbale with the same name or subset of names 'Wolf'

REMEMBER YOU MUST PUT THE NEW ROLLTABLE IN THE HARVESTER COMPENDIUM "harvester.harvester" or in the Rolltable directory of the world itself (for now).

Harvester Feature with Item Piles and Better Rolltables

This action allows the Harvesting action to be linked to a BRT rolltable retrieve the result items and display it with the "Item Piles" module for retrieval.

Given the various needs there are three modes offeature behavior

• "Keep It or Share It !" : The player decides whether to keep the loot for themself or share it with others
• "Share It" : It is shared with others by default
• "Keep It" : It is kept for itself by default.

Looting Feature

This action allows the Looting action to be linked to a rolltable to retrieve the result currencies and display on the chat.

Every rolltable applies inline roll for the currency data on text table result.

NOTE: Every text table result in a type BRT Loot tables is treated as a currencyData formula and converted in a item piles supported formula.

This feature support many format from old and other modules here a list:

• Old brt format: 100*1d6[gp],4d4+4[sp] to 100*1d6gp 4d4+4sp
• Harvester format: [[/r 5d6]]{Copper} and [[/r 1d6*100]]{Electrum}[[/r 2d6*10]]
• Old brt loot currency formula: {(2d8+1)*10[cp], 6d8+3 [sp]}
• Html code base with the editor: <p>100*1d6[gp],4d4+4[sp]</p>,<p>[[/r 5d6]]{Copper} and [[/r 1d6*100]]{Electrum}[[/r 2d6*10]]</p>, <p>{(2d8+1)*10[cp], 6d8+3 [sp]}</p>
• Item Piles format (The advisable format to use): ((2d8+1)*10)cp (6d8+3)sp

As a example a text like this:

{(2d8+1)*10[cp], 2d8+1 [sp]}

is converted runtime in this

20cp 16sp

Integration with the module Better Rolltables Feature

In the BRT Harvest Rolltable sheet, the "Source Reference" field is the one used by this module to connect the monster to the rolltable! So "Source Reference" === "Name of The Monster" OR a regex.

Example 1
Name of the monster: Wolf
Source Reference on the BRT rolltable as simple strig: Wolf
Result: get any monster 'Wolf' with a BRT Rolltbale with source reference 'Wolf'

Example 2
Name of the monster: Wolf
Source Reference on the BRT rolltable as regex: /^Wolf/ 
Result: get any monster 'Wolf' with a BRT Rolltable with source reference stating with the string 'Wolf'

BRT now support multi skill integration, just set an array of skills on the source reference field on the BRT rolltable

and launch the harvester action!

REMEMBER YOU MUST PUT THE NEW ROLLTABLE IN THE BRT COMPENDIUM "better-rolltables.brt-harvest-harvester" or in the Rolltable directory of the world itself (for now).
