Squad Combat Initiative v14.1.0
Foundry VTT Compatibility: v14
System Compatibility: D&D 5e 5.3.3+
Safe to update mid-campaign: Yes
Version 14.1.0 focuses on dependable group initiative without altering combatants’ original rolls. It also adds reusable group presets and improves morale, visibility, accessibility, and combat-tracker behavior.
What's New
- Group Presets: Save a group’s name, icon, color, initiative mode, discipline, and morale trigger, then reuse that configuration in later combats.
- Native Initiative Preservation: Combatants retain their original rolled initiatives. Groups are ordered through Foundry’s combat sorting instead of fractional initiative offsets, keeping large and tied groups together without changing roll results.
- English Localization: User-facing settings, dialogs, controls, notifications, and chat cards now use Foundry’s localization system.
Improvements
- Changing a group’s initiative mode, captain, or membership now recalculates its result from the original member rolls.
- Group initiative editing supports Enter and Space, locale-formatted numbers, and combat-tracker popouts.
- Group dialogs now use reusable templates with safer validation and clearer cancellation behavior.
- Token and combatant visibility synchronization now works across applicable combats and scenes.
- Group highlighting, collapsed-state handling, hidden groups, hidden captains, and defeated combatants behave more consistently.
- Morale checks now provide clearer batch results, better status handling, persistent prompt tracking, and proper fearless-creature behavior.
- Group operations are serialized per combat to prevent overlapping updates from producing inconsistent initiative state.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed
Roll AllandRoll NPCsrace conditions that could finalize groups before every member roll completed. - Fixed initiative advantage and disadvantage workflows so the D&D 5e system remains responsible for the original roll.
- Fixed large or tied groups becoming interleaved in the combat tracker.
- Fixed moving rolled combatants between groups leaving either group with stale initiative.
- Fixed repeated automatic morale prompts and duplicate captain-death processing.
- Fixed morale effects and casualty tracking becoming inconsistent when morale was disabled or multiple updates occurred together.
- Fixed canceled dialogs being treated as submitted data.
- Fixed visibility synchronization loops and incomplete updates involving combats outside the currently viewed tracker.
- Fixed hidden group information exposing captain details to players.
Settings Changes
- Group Presets: Adds world-level storage for reusable group configurations. Presets are managed from the Create Group dialog. Default: no saved presets.
