An implementation of the Dungeonslayers 4 game system for [Foundry Virtual
Tabletop](http://foundryvtt.com).
## Prerequisites
This system provides character sheet support for Actors and Items and mechanical
support for dice and rules necessary to
play games of Dungeponslayers 4.
In order to build this system, a recent version of `npm` is required.
## Installation
## Building
To install and use the Dungeonslayers 4 system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop,
simply paste the following URL into the **Install System** dialog on the Setup
menu of the application.
To build the system, first install all required dependencies:
https://git.f3l.de/dungeonslayers/ds4/-/raw/master/src/system.json?inline=false
## Development
### Prerequisits
In order to build this system, recent versions of `node` and `npm` are required.
We recommend using the latest lts version of `node`, which is `v14.15.4` at the
time of writing. If you use `nvm` to manage your `node` versions, you can simply
run
```
nvm install
```
in the project's root directory.
You also need to install the the project's dependencies. To do so, run
```
npm install
```
Then build the project by running
### Building
You can build the project by running
```
npm run build
```
If you'd like the built system to be automatically linked to your local Foundry
VTT installation's data folder, add a file called `foundryconfig.json` to the
project root with the following contents:
Alternatively, you can run
```
npm run build:watch
```
to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.
### Linking the built system to Foundry VTT
In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link
the built system to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order
to do so, first add a file called `foundryconfig.json` to the project root with
the following content:
```
{
"dataPath": "/<absolute path to your home>/.local/share/FoundryVTT",
"repository": "",
"rawURL": ""
"dataPath": "<path to your home directory>/.local/share/FoundryVTT"
}
```
On platforms other than Linux you need to adjust the path accordingly.
Then run
```
npm run link
```
If you want the system to be continuously build upon every saved change, just
run
### Running the tests
You can run the tests with the following command:
```
npm run build:watch
npm test
```
