CONSIDER: Integration with Roll20.net #32

Consider the possibility of integrating map-based stuff with Roll20.net. Requires research of their API.

crazedsanity commented 7 years ago

The developers at Roll20.net were contacted in the past. The response at the time indicated that no such API was available, and it was unlikely that such a thing would ever be implemented.

Their Javascript API has possibilities to interact with tokens, which opens up the possibility of creating a custom Electron app for the DM... the application would have to load Roll20 into a screen and use it's Javascript API, while communicating with TTORP via an external (JSON) interface. DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if this would work; even if it did, I'm not sure it would be reasonably doable.

Given that, I'm closing the issue. Having this integration would definitely be a boon, but I don't think Roll20 would consider it unless TTORP became extremely popular.
