[Feature Request] Metric Compatibility

Andersants commented 5 months ago

Hello, thank you for your module. Is it possible to change the distances of spells and radius of effects to the metric unit? I'm GM of a BR group and we use the metric system to play. I can't find a place to make this change.

Not currently possible. It'll be looked at in the v12 update.

Metric is not well supported by the system and especially not by Midi-QOL, when possible, it will be added, but there is no ETA or guarantee at this time.

Right, but is it possible to edit the scripts manually to set the distances? If so, where should I look?

Andersants commented 5 months ago

As a suggestion for improvement, perhaps it would be possible to make the distance of the effects search for the distance configured in the item itself or in the magic that the effect is linked to?

Currently, since I use the names of the items and spells translated into Portuguese, I drag the effects from the compendium directly onto the items.

I'd love to see this feature implement. Casting a spell in feet is a “catastrophe” for metric users, as there is no conversion. This makes us cast areas 3.33 times too large ^^.

I use Babele module for clean, unmodified conversion the item sheet but I can't convert the macro :

{
  "label": "CPR Class Features",
  "mapping": {
    "description": "system.description.value",
    "porte_valeur" : "system.range.value",
    "porte_unite" : "system.range.units"
  },
    "Hexblade's Curse": {
      "name": "Malédiction du magelame [Occultiste - Magelame]",
      "description": "<p>À partir du niveau 1...</p>",
      "porte_valeur" : "9",
      "porte_unite" : "m"
    },
}

This subject is also discussed here, where I mention a script that converts feet into meters => https://github.com/DFreds/dfreds-convenient-effects/issues/343

May this module can help to https://github.com/Roger92/metric-ruler-labels?tab=readme-ov-file#customizable-conversions It is not changing any systems etc. It only applies an additional label to the UI.
