bybe-frontend's Issues

Item traits

Add filtering by trait in the shop table and shop generator. The filter should be able to be toggled to be inclusive or exclusive

Generate stat blocks for creatures

Useful for creatures that aren't on Archives of Nethys

Have the encounter generator use the Weak/Elite variants

Currently the random encounter generator only returns the Base variant of the creature. Having it use the Weak/Elite variants would make it more flexible and fit more filters.

Have the option to store multiple party and save them in local storage

Right now there is only one party, and when making changes to it you lose everything. It would be cool to have the option of storing a party, creating another one and then reloading the old party. Useful if you GM for multiple parties

Generate Quick Adventure Groups

It would be interesting to offer the possibility of generating Quick Adventure Groups in place of a generic encounter

Filter by environment

Enable filtering by environment, such as forest, mountain, desert, etc. Each creature would have to be classified manually or somehow inferred from its traits or family

Transition to Pathfinder 2e Remaster

Transition to Pathfinder 2e Remaster as the default. Could have a toggle to switch back to the legacy version.

For now the only thing that the frontend has to change is the removal of the alignments, the rest should be handled by the backend. Once the Monster Core is released this might change.

More consistent way of adding/selecting items

Right now, adding a creature requires a double click, while adding an item needs the + button. This isn't good for the following reasons:

• Having two different methods isn't user friendly
• A double click isn't great on mobile and possibly isn't very intuitive
• On small displays you need to scroll to the right of the Shop Table to see the + button, not good

A different way of selecting items is needed, that is consistent, intuitive and doesn't require scrolling. Some considerations:

• We probably don't want to add a creature to the encounter if we click on the AoN link, source or creature sheet button
• Same thing for an item in the shop
• Decide if the interaction for adding an item to the shop to the right should be the same as for showing the item sheet to the left

Minimize creature attributes in the Encounter List

Right now every attribute of a creature is kept when its added to an encounter. To simplify things and reduce what is stored in local storage it should only keep what is needed: name, level and the AoN link

Specify creatures number in generator settings

Add the ability to pick the preferred number of creatures in the random encounter generator. Probably needs #8 to consistently have an output.

Save encounters to local storage

Add the option to save one or more encounters to local storage. Useful if you need to keep track of many encounters, potentially offline.

Add hazards

Could be interesting to also include hazards into the mix. Might me out of scope and could be hard to fit into the existing table due to different columns (e.g., complexity, hazard type)

Add proficiency without level

Implemented the option to toggle Proficiency without Level, accessible from the improved settings menu.

Filter by source

Enable filtering by source book, useful for those who might not want creatures from adventure paths for example.

Add pagination to the creature table

Adding pagination to the creature table, same as the shop table, will reduce the size of API calls and improve performance

Add creatures role

Adding a creature's role (brute, magical striker, etc.) could be useful. The classification would have to be made by hand or somehow inferred by the creature's stats/DCs. More info at the link below, in the "Base Road Maps" section.

Import/Export data from/to local .json

Add an export function to download all local storage data into a .json file for backup and an import function to restore such data

Source icon alignment issue

When showing the source column, the icon is left aligned. After scrolling down it fixes itself. Moreover this doesn't happen in dev, only in build.
