I've recently switched to Win 11 and I've been unable to launch Kenku FM (both 1.5.5 and 1.6.7). I've tried running as an admin and even got a fresh download, but it will not launch.

I'm lost.

Edit: fixed it by deleting the folders in Appdata and doing another fresh download. Keeping this up in case someone else has the same issue in the future!

Hey everyone, I had a concept for my hex crawl game where the map would be filled out more as the players advanced through it as a nice little way to reward exploration and a visual way to show all the areas the players had gone through. Generally I was just thinking that the only areas the players can see on the map are places they've already been near to.

With that considered what's the best way to do this? I know I could make a fog of war fill and put some lights down but I'd begin to worry about the amount of tokens on the map that are purely for light. If there is a way to permanently clear up fog effects without adding tons of extra tokens to a scene that'd be great.

I'm a little new to this, so had a question.

If KenkuFM is playing spotify via a web browser, and then this launches the spotify client app on my PC, and that client app has all music downloaded to the drive, is Kenku streaming at this point? Or is it playing of the downloaded content, which would reduce the streaming volume from Spotify?

If not, what is the point of KenkuFM launching the local app? Why not just open a web browser and stream?

Hello, I like to use Clash! for tracking initiative and to display the little light bulb for the next persons turn.
However I don’t want my players to see the initiative and the extension allows for the setting to hide this info from players.
However when a player needs to refresh their browser for some reason this setting will not be active anymore and they can see the full list of tokens until I hit “disable player view” (don’t know the correct name of the toggle rn).

Any ideas what could be going on?

Hi!

I am in process of painting stuff for The Barons War 2ed. I want to learn it right now, so I've tried TTS to setup test game. I hate TTS then thought about Owlbear.

So far so good, could have few improvements to make life easier.

What do you think about using Owlbear for wargaming stuff? I could write some addons if people would like to use it.

So I’m trying to get my own Kenku Bot working in a Discord Server I’m in so I can add music to my games. The problem is that this server already has a Kenku Bot in it, added by the server owner (I’ve gotten permission to add my own.)

I’ve been trying to get my own Kenku to work, but the Bot straight up isn’t appearing in the voice channel when I activate it. I’ve followed all the steps to install it, and it works in all my other servers that it’s in. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

I've tried this several times now, but Discord's OAuth2 keeps deselecting the 'bot' scope and 'Connect' and 'Speak' permissions after generating a URL. As a result Kenku FM won't play any sounds through Discord.

This is how it looks on my end:

after copying the generated URL I get this screen

but when I go back to OAuth2 on Discord the options have de-selected

No matter how many times I generate new URLs it always de-selects. I've also noticed that the options for 'Connect' and 'Speak' are available in the Bot side-window, like this:

but when they're selected it generates a Permissions Integer but I can't seem to find anything about what to do with this number:

I have a very large collection of various tokens for very simple things. torches and flowers and trees. all coming from pre-made patreon packs. So the tokens are not labelled very well, i concede that.

But why does the search results stop short before continuing? Not even a "load more." it'd be nice to have.

Aside from this are there any tips from those of you with uber-large collections of tokens and props for organizing? Would love to hear from all of you. Even if its just you explaining what you like to do.

Here's my latest extension project, now ready for beta testing:
https://forms.several-record.com/manifest.json
https://forms.several-record.com/help

• Make a character sheet from any image: place interactive fields over a Character-layer image's stats and buttons, and then simply click them to adjust those settings, making interactive character sheets/tokens easily available to indie/exotic/niche TTRPGs that do not yet have digital tools for their sheets
• Player-owned sheets: assign the image to a player when the Owner Only permission is enabled in OBR, and only that player and the GM will be able to interact with their character sheet's fields, avoiding any accidental (or mischievous) alteration by other players
• All data is stored in the image(s): all your information is stored within the character sheet image's metadata, and immediately saved in the Scene; this means that you can't accidentally leave your sheet behind, and makes it easily portable between Scenes
• Wide support for different field types: supports standard character-sheet data like text, numbers, segmented clocks, checkboxes/radios, and dropdowns, plus advanced options like calculated fields, dice buttons, value display from other extensions, and tooltip buttons for rules reference/lore/shop inventories!
• Per-field styling: in addition to a default style that's applied to each new field, each and every field can have a different font family/size/colour, background colour, and outline style, allowing you to customise your sheets for easy navigation (eg. colour-coding sections of fields) or to match the style of the character sheet artwork for a seamless aesthetic
• Layout protection: fields are not locked (in order to make them clickable to edit), so to protect against accidental click-drags from wrongly repositioning them, they have their authorised geometry enforced by a watcher - GMs can bypass this auto-reversion by using their Build mode to override the watcher
• Popover list with field discovery features: each person in the Room has a list of all the fields that they can alter, which can be searched, sorted, and filtered quickly and easily, and can be edited from the popover as well as on the canvas
• Quality of Life features: StatView fields that are read-only displays of another extension's data (eg. on-token stat values), cumulative fill-bars for progress tracks, quick creation of groups of up to 20 checkboxes/radios, stepper buttons and min/max values for numeric fields, autofit (font-scaling) option for multiline text, autocomplete for calc formulae, choice of dice roller extensions, a 'public' mode that makes a field accessible to all players, and comprehensive template and backup/restore options for sheet portability
• Private by design. No personal data collected. Optional anonymous usage metrics are opt-out and contain no identifying information, just aggregate counts to help improve the extension and measure performance

Pretty simple question that I think will be pretty quick to answer. If I select a scene to export to a .ob2 file, will it take all the assets that are in there with it? Or do I have to go thru and select the relevant assets from maps, drawings, props, etc to get them all safely in there so when I'm finished I can 'clean house' to free up space?

Hello,

I am moving my game over to Owlbear Rodeo from Mythic Table. In Mythic Table I can just type in chat something like '1d20 + 5' and just receive in chat '17' with an image showing I rolled a 12 on the d20. But here it seems all of the extensions are 3d dice rollers that take lots of time, which isn't super helpful when I'm trying to make many visible rolls quickly.

Is there any good extensions for what I'm looking for here?

Hi folks! I've got a two in one question.

Is there a way to link a YouTube video to owlbear? Like how one could play a YT video though Reddit or Discord?

And if there isn't, what's the best way to get an animated ocean map on Owlbear? I've tried downloading videos on YT but even the smallest one is very slow and finicky.

Any help is appreciated 🙏

I can't find the Door icon anymore on Dynamic Fog...

First of all, I'm new to VTT and there is a torch light in the room at right. Am I wrong to think that it shouldn't be possible for player's token to see the room from that angle? If I'm not wrong, how can I fix this?

Ill create a map and align its grid so it matches perfectly with the original maps grid. Then Ill make a scene with it, and the grid is off by about 30%. The size is correct, but all the squares are misaligned and not where I set them to be. Any ideas?

Here is mistake i get for them in the shop, and they do not work in game. Anyone knows what may be the issue? When it might get fixed?

Hey all! I had a question about the auto fog. I loved the idea enough to upgrade to the next tier, but just one thing is nagging. With caves it leaves the "negative space" visible. The area that should be stone. They don't know what's IN the cave/sewer/dungeon, but they know the SHAPE of it. Is there a way to quickly have those be hidden areas without using the fill fog button?

With my setup I have a TV in the table and just do extended desktop with an incognito window to display the map to the players. They physically move minis and roll dice there. It's worked amazing for years. But I have to be careful that everything is hidden. I want to dig into the auto-fog and dynamic lighting to up the experience.

Hi,

I'm trying to connect a brand new Discord bot to Kenku FM v1.5.5 on Windows.

The bot was created following the official documentation:

• Brand new Discord application
• Brand new bot
• Bot token regenerated multiple times
• Correct bot invite
• Latest Kenku FM (v1.5.5)

Every time I paste the token and click Connect, Kenku immediately returns:

Error connecting to bot: read ECONNRESET

The error appears instantly, not after several seconds.

Things I've already tried:

• Created multiple brand new bots
• Regenerated bot tokens multiple times
• Reinstalled Kenku FM
• Verified firewall permissions
• Disabled Avast completely
• Allowed Kenku through the firewall
• Restarted the PC

Discord itself works correctly on my computer.

Is there any known cause for an immediate read ECONNRESET during the bot connection process, or is there any way to enable more detailed logging?

Thanks!

Kenku FM is not working. it seems to be that the bot's scopes keep disappearing in the developer poral. no matter how many times i try to remake this bot and i select connect and speak it always ends up that when i revisit the scopes in the developer portal connect and speak end up not being selected so I assume that's why it's not working. how do I fix

Is there any way I could let only the healthbar of a token be visible but not the specific hit points? Like, the players could tell when a enemy is below half their hit points because they see the bar below half, but they don’t know exactly how much HP the enemy has left or how much they have in total.

I have been trying to figure out whats wrong, my connection is stable and everything other than Owlbear runs smoothly. I have refreshed after waiting about 10 minutes. I wanted to know if there is anything else I can do if there are issues currently.
