1.0.0 (2026-11-04)

A full rewrite by MidNiteShadow7 of Robin Kuiper's DeathTracker 0.1.8, which had not changed since 2018. Version 0.1 settings are carried over and !dead still works.

Fixed

• Clearing a token's hit point bar marked it dead (an empty bar was read as 0). Empty bars, and bars that do not hold a number, are now left alone.
• A token with no maximum hit points got a broken tint (#NaNNaNNaN). Tint now needs a maximum, and a linked bar with no maximum reads it from the linked attribute.
• Tokens controlled by more than one player, or by "all", were wrongly treated as NPCs or PCs, because the whole controlledby list was checked as one player.
• Only Roll20's old built-in markers could be chosen. Any marker in the game can now be used, including custom marker sets and the D&D 2024 sheet's condition markers, found by name or tag.
• Changing the hit point bar said the sandbox had to be restarted. It does not, and the message is gone.
• The "half dead" marker set to none wrote a junk status_none property onto tokens.
• At full hit points the tint was set to transparent, wiping a tint the GM (or another Mod) had set. The token's own tint now comes back.
• Settings typed in chat were stored without checking (bar|7, true as text). Bad values are now refused with a message.
• One Mod's failing ObserveTokenChange handler stopped DeathTracker and every later handler. Handlers are now called one at a time, and failures are logged.

Added

• Death saves for player characters, as in HealthColors: a PC at 0 is Dying; three successes make it Stable, three failures Dead. On the D&D 2024 sheet they are read from the sheet as boxes are ticked or saves rolled; on the 2014 sheet and others, from checkbox fields set in Settings. A DeathSaves token action (!deathtracker macro) covers sheets that cannot be read. Saves are counted from the drop to 0, because sheets keep old ticks; Clear sheet boxes clears them at the drop and on healing, and on the D&D 2024 sheet shows the death save boxes when a PC drops to 0 from the token bar (the sheet only shows them by itself after its own Damage box).
• Who is a PC: player-controlled tokens or characters, or (by default) characters whose sheet is not an NPC sheet, plus Make PC / Make NPC per character.
• Bloodied threshold setting (50% by default, 0.1's "half dead").
• When a token dies (each off by default): move it to the GM layer or the Map layer, and remove it from the turn order, for NPCs or for everyone. Restore puts selected tokens back, into the turn order with the initiative they had.
• Massive damage option for PCs.
• Announcements to the GM and the PC's players when a PC goes down, becomes stable, dies or gets back up.
• A chat menu, a settings card with buttons for every setting, status, check, stable, clear, restore, markers and --ids.
• DeathTracker - Help and DeathTracker - Command Deck handouts, in 24 languages, with the DeathTracker icon in the Journal (also added to handouts from earlier versions).
• One-Click options for every setting.
• A public API: check, getStatus, onStatusChange, isManagingDeathSaves, ownersChanged, alongside 0.1's ObserveTokenChange.
• Commands from other Mods (player "API") are accepted.

Changed

• The main command is !deathtracker (also !dt); !dead, !dead config key|value and !dead reset still work.
• Settings live in state.DeathTracker; 0.1's state.DEATHTRACKER is read once and left in place.
• The PC Unconscious marker is now the Dying marker.
• Who handles what, shared with HealthColors 2.5 and later: Settings chooses DeathTracker, HealthColors or Off for death saves (with the dying, stable and dead markers), health colours and hurt/heal effects (deathSavesBy, coloursBy, effectsBy). The choice is stored once (state.ModOwners), HealthColors' !aura menu shows and changes the same values, and a change in either Mod refreshes both. At first DeathTracker handles death saves and HealthColors the colours and effects; without HealthColors, DeathTracker handles all three.
