Naming Armor certain way bricked inventory tab of character sheet.

[NuptupTDOW]

So, I am refluffing my plate armor as a werewolf transformation which takes 5 minutes (same as donning plate armor).

I dropped plate armor from the compendium onto the character sheet, then changed the name to something like "Plate Armor (Refluffed to be thick werewolf hide. Takes 5 minutes to transform into werewolf [same as donning armor].)"

And as soon as I hit enter and the name updated, the entire inventory section goes blank, including the tabs that I can click to go to a different tab. I can reload the page to open the sheet again, and everything seems to work fine, until I click inventory again which bricks it.

Is there anyway I can fix this without having to completely remake this character just to get a version without the bricked inventory panel?

Wow, that's a corker.

For rescue steps, I think this will work: Create a new compendium for Actors.
Drag your problematic actor into it, which should export them to the compendium.

Send us the compendium so we can try diagnosing what happened and get a fix in for it. (You may have to zip the .db file for github to allow you to attach it).

However, the compendium is basically a big old json document, so you can open the .db file in the text editor of your choice and should be able to find the armour, change the name. When you reload foundry you should be able to re-import the character and have it work.

Here's the Raw JSON from the compendium with her in it.

Edit: Ignore that, found a way to access the raw files. Just need to figure out how to navigate to my compendiums...

Edit 2: any idea at all about how I can navigate through the FTP Host and find my compendiums..? I'm so lost...

Edit 3: I just right clicked the character and exported their JSON file, and it has the armor listed in there, so hopefully this will work for you. File in next post, with armor area as well.

{ "_id": "d90vAnSfqaM8xThs", "name": "Plate armor (Refluff as Thick Hide for Werewolf. Only active when in werewolf which takes 5 minutes to activate [Same as donning armor])", "type": "equipment", "img": "icons/equipment/chest/breastplate-collared-steel-grey.webp", "data": { "description": { "value": "", "chat": "", "unidentified": "" },

Well, my work computer won't allow me to upload any files, so there's the text for the armor. If you still need the full text, lemme know and I can either post the whole thing in here, or I can get the JSON file and upload it when I get home later.

Also, yeah, removing the " (Refluff as Thick Hide for Werewolf. Only active when in werewolf which takes 5 minutes to activate [Same as donning armor])" fixed her inventory tab.

So good news is I can replicate the problem! Bad news is I get no actual errors!

[draconas1]

AH HA! I have it, it's a HTML / CSS Rendering issue. It's to do with the length of the name!

If you use the resize tool in the bottom right to make the character sheet much wider it will all come back.

Basically the layout is done using flex, and your name is so long that the browser decides that it can't render it on the same row as the Skills layout and so drops it down to "below" it, except because of how the layout works, there is no below, the skills section goes on forever, so we never see it.

Lolololol... That's ridiculous. So, I assume that's not necessarily something that's easy to fix? Either way, I've just changed him put all that information inside the details description text box instead of the name line, but it's still funny regardless.

[draconas1]

I suspect not without rewriting a chunk of the HTML/layout around that part of the sheet. But I leave that upto @EndlesNights as layouts confuse and scare me.

[NuptupTDOW]

Gotcha okay. Well then, could you make sure he gets a chance to read this and just close it with your next comment? I don't really feel like this necessarily needs to stay open since the chances of other people replicating it are pretty small and the fix for some kind of exception like this would be a huge pain in the butt.

I might look into this if it's still a problem. Layouts are what I have the most experience with, so I might be able to fix it without too much grief.
