5 months ago One trick to use to make sure JSON is correctly formed is to drag your file into Firefox - if the syntax is bad, it will give errors with line numbers. I use this both in my gaming and at work all the time.
As I had originally imagined when I added the alias capability, the sources.json would be left in the original source language and the alias list for localization would be applied to the original sources. This would be something like:
{
"dnd5e": {
"system": "dnd5e",
"aliases": {
"Свеча": "Candle",
"Фонарь обычный": "Hooded Lantern",
... etc ...
}
}
}Since it contains only a single system and aliases for its light sources, a localization json would be relatively short. Then torch would apply the same light settings to items with either name.
original name of the file is torch, candle, but in my case it is “translated'' into a Russian language and looks something like this: “Факел / Torch”
So, if I understand correctly, you have set the names of the items in the compendia or in local item definitions dragged onto characters to use the hybrid names? If so, the same use of the hybrid names in aliases would apply here as I just showed for the pure Russian names:
{
"dnd5e": {
"system": "dnd5e",
"aliases": {
"Свеча / Candle": "Candle",
"Фонарь обычный / Hooded Lantern": "Hooded Lantern",
... etc ...
}
}
}All of that is for the case where the only concern is for localization. Here, I can see that you've also applied fresh lighting with custom animations, etc. For this, as you have already done, you can supply the hybrid names as new light sources with all their settings and without reference to the originals. So what you did should have worked.
So, next step, I just brought your JSON up in VS Code and used the intellisense to look for problems. Besides a few spare close braces on the bottom, you had one pattern that consistently missed a close brace before the close square bracket:
"light": [
{
"bright": 15, "dim": 45, "angle": 360, "color": "#6db05e", "alpha": 0.5,
"animation": { "type": "Фонарь отслеживания / Lantern of Tracking", "speed": 5, "intensity": 5, "reverse": false }
]The following corrected those:
"light": [
{
"bright": 15, "dim": 45, "angle": 360, "color": "#6db05e", "alpha": 0.5,
"animation": { "type": "Фонарь отслеживания / Lantern of Tracking", "speed": 5, "intensity": 5, "reverse": false }
}
]Here's the corrected JSON. See if it does what you want. Let me know if it works out, but especially let me know if there turns out to be a problem, as this is really supposed to work.

• The essence of the problem is in the JSON file : original name of the file is torch, candle, but in my case it is “translated'' into a Russian language and looks something like this: “Факел / Torch”
• Since the module itself with my JSON file refuses to see my lanterns, candles, lamps, etc. although they are in my inventory. The problem can be solved if I manually type in "inventory item name to use", but this will get you to the only one light source that it can see, but not the others, since '','' and ''|'' don't work for additional names that i add in a certain section.
• Example:
https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/torch/assets/168934039/723e225e-1737-474a-b837-95df235d624c
• As an example, I'll send my JSON with the names of the torch, candle, etc. translated into another language [ RU ] next to the original file name, since that’s how they are written in my system.
• Perhaps everything is much simpler here, and I just need additional '']'' and ''}'' in my JSON, which I missed.
From the ''custom light source'' I added only the ghost torch.
