Welcome to version 1.4 of Improved Initiative. Here's what's new:
  • In the Rules options, you can now automatically add combatants to an initiative group by name or side. This feature was built by the excellent Chris Bloom!
  • You can now organize your encounters into folders. This functionality will also soon be available for Creatures, Players, and Spells.
  • You can preview the combatants in an encounter by hovering the preview button

Thanks as always to all of my users, Github contributors and generous Patrons. Your support has meant a lot to me, and Improved Initiative would not be where it is today without your enthusiasm and generosity.

Happy DMing!

Update 1.4.1: Folder prompt will now auto-suggest existing folders. Also fixed a bug where you could not save encounters with the same name in different folders.

Update 1.4.2: Fixed a few bugs.

Update 1.4.4: Fixed a bug that could cause Player statblocks to act like NPC/Creature statblocks. Details here.

This has been an issue for a while now, but I seem to be running into some sort of error when I use the chrome version of the app. Whenever I log into my patreon account to sync my library, it comes back to an empty page with just the background image loaded. No library, no toolbar, nothing, just the background image. This only seems to be happening while using chrome. If I log into my patreon account through firefox, it goes back to Improved Initiative properly, and I can access all of my content.

Hi David, Sorry to hear about your trouble with the app! In chrome, can you open the dev tools on the broken page by pressing F12, then send me an email with a screenshot or description of any errors that it shows? You can send that to improvedinitiativedev@gmail.com. Thanks!

Thanks, guys. I'm liking the new features. Quick observation: I'm using Automatically add creatures to initiative group By Name, and I have a saved encounter with 18 wolves and 6 dire wolves. When I start the encounter, the initiative works properly, but the order of the creatures sometimes gets scrambled. It would be great if the creatures in an initiative group stayed in their original numerical order. Using Chrome 65.0.3325.181

Thanks for the feedback Greg. I'll look into making the Initiative sorting logic more "stable" so it won't rearrange combatants who shouldn't move.
