This tool is designed to help with planning encounters in Avrae giving an easy way to setup monsters, tokens, and maps.
General Setup
If you have a different Avrae prefix or want to use a different target for the map then you can change that in the General Settings. This will update the commands the tool gives.
Getting Monsters Setup
Fill out the information on the monster you want to use
Go to the Map Planner tab, and you can set the coordinates for the monsters in using Place Monsters button. This will also give you the standalone !map command.
This will also show in the map preview embedded on this tab as well.
Setting up the map
If you need to change the background, or map size being used you can use the Map Settings to set a background URL, mapsize, and change csettings if needed.
Overlay
If you want to use an overlay the Overlay Settings can help you setup the command and preview the overlay as well.
Command String Options
On the Monster Inventory tab there are multiple toggle switches that change how the command is presented.
Multiline - Includes multiline in the command for running multiple commands in Avrae
Include Map Target - Includes the designated map target in the command to add to initiative (Default: "DM")
Include Notes - Will convert map commands to all work with the native Avrae commands. This allows multiline to work with monster placement and map setup (Note: This is helpful for aliases like bplan or if you just want to copy and paste the entire command without splitting them up)
Monsters - Includes all information pertaining to the monsters
Map - Includes all information pertaining to the map
Overlay - Includes all information pertaining to the overlay
Exporting/Importing/Saving
Because this planner relies on local storage it is recommended to export/import when you can. If reviewing someone elses plan however, we would recommend either exporting your current plan or opening in incognito mode.
Exporting will add a url to your clipboard encoding all the information for the Monster Inventory and Map planner (General Settings do not get exported). Then going to that link again will load up all the information stored in the url
You can additionally locally save up to 10 plans (monsters and map settings) to reload for later use
