Feature Manager
Feature Manager is the module's master on/off switch — one place to disable whole SDX features without editing world data.
Configure Settings (gear) → Shadowdark Extras → Feature Manager — button label Configure Features (GM only, reload required).
The window title is Feature Manager (featureManagerMenu · FeatureManagerApp).
If a tray tab, settings menu, or automation you expect is missing, open Feature Manager first — the feature is likely disabled there, not broken.
- Open Configure Settings and scroll to Shadowdark Extras.
- Click Feature Manager (Configure Features).
- Leave the defaults enabled, or uncheck a tray tab or tool your table doesn't use.
- Leave Advanced & Hidden Features enabled unless you mean to turn off underlying automation — it has no tray button of its own.
- Click Save Feature Settings.
- Reload when the banner asks you to — Foundry shows Reload required after you save.
- Verify the tray tab, menu, or sheet control is gone (re-check it and reload to restore).
The top line is a master card:
| Card | What it hides when off |
|---|---|
| SDX Tray — Left side of the Foundry canvas | The entire tray, its tabs, and all handle tools |
Below that, two visible groups map directly to tray controls you can see:
| Choice | Location | What it hides when off |
|---|---|---|

| Party | SDX Tray → Party tab | Roster, health cards, travel, camping, weather, and stat sync |
| Pins | SDX Tray → Pins tab, Add Pin, and Pin List | Pin list, placement, canvas rendering, folders, and styles |
| Notes | SDX Tray → Notes tab | Notes on Tokens, Actors, Tiles, Drawings, Walls, Lights, Sounds, and user-managed Regions; lifetime-owned transient/rebuild sources stay excluded |
| Hexes | SDX Tray → Hexes tab | Hex tile, symbol, custom tile, POI, and terrain painting |
| Dungeons | SDX Tray → Dungeons tab | Dungeon painting, generation, biomes, levels, and tile flatten |

| Hex Fog | Tray handle → Fog button | Per-hex fog and fog effects |
| Solo Hex Mode | Tray handle → Compass button | Wilderness hex generation while exploring |
| SDX Roller | Tray handle → Dice button | Cinematic rolls, group checks, and recap cards |
Each choice shows a preview image, a short description, and where it lives on the tray.

Leave these enabled unless you intend to turn off that underlying behavior. See Settings Reference for what each hidden key stores.
- Enable All / Disable All — global buttons at the top, and per-group Enable all / Disable all next to each heading, set every checkbox in that scope in one click.
- Partial / indeterminate — a tray choice can be partially disabled (for example Dungeons bundles two features; Scenes bundles five). The checkbox shows an indeterminate state and the card reads Some parts are currently disabled.
- Blocked by dependency — some features need a parent. Decor needs Hexes; per-item animation overrides need Animation FX; template effects, auras, and spell config panels need the Spell Activity System. Disabling the parent disables the child and the card shows Also blocked because … is disabled. — the child checkbox stays off until the parent is back.
- Collapsed automation — Advanced rows have no preview image and no tray location; they hide sheets, hooks, libWrapper patches, and sockets rather than a button.
Only a GM sees Feature Manager (restricted: true). Disabling a feature removes it for everyone in the world — a player can't work around it by flipping a client setting.
- A tray tab or tool is missing — open Feature Manager and re-check it. A single unchecked box (or its parent) explains most missing tabs.
- A settings menu is gone — the menu is gated by its feature. Re-enable the feature group it belongs to and reload.
-
Nothing changed after saving — reload.
disabledFeatureshasrequiresReload: true; hooks, sheets, and tray modes attach at startup. - Decor disappeared but Hexes still works — expected. Decor depends on Hexes; re-enable Hexes and Decor together.
-
I want everything back — click Enable All at the top, save, and reload. The stored value is
disabledFeatures(Array, default[]);[]means nothing disabled.
