A module for FoundryVTT that lets you draw fog of war manually.
Encounter Library did a review of Simplefog which explains how it works much better than I can, please check it out if you would like an idea how this module works.
- Simplefog implements a manual fog of war layer above the core vision layer
- Enable and disable the simplefog layer at any time, per scene
- This allows you to use both Simplefog AND the core vision for line of sight, or alternatively use only one or the other, on a scene by scene basis
- Tokens can be automatically hidden and revealed when underneath Simplefog with a configurable opacity threshold
- Implements a history system so you can easily undo your actions
- Various drawing tools for drawing and erasing fog of war manually
- Brush tool
- Hotkeys for quickly changing brush size [ ]
- Rectangle & Ellipse tool
- Hold shift to force equal width & height while drawing
- Polygon Shape tool
- Click the orange handle to finish your drawing, or right click to cancel
- Grid tool
- Reveals any grid square you drag across, works for both Hex and Square grids
- Brush tool
Allows you to set various options which affect the entire layer for the current scene
- Set the opacity of the entire fog layer for both players and GMs
- Animate transitions in opacity, allowing for effects such as "Fade to Black"
- Change tint of the fog for both player and GM, for example to indicate a green poison cloud
- Apply a blur filter for soft edges to fog
- Enable or disable the automatic vision feature
- Save your settings as the new default when creating a scene
- More AutoVisibility options:
- Reveal based on center of token
- Reveal only if entire token visible
- Reveal if any part of token is visible
- Brush Smoothing / Interpolation
- Image based fog import
- Sepia / monochrome filters
- Add indicator icon of player controlled icons hidden under fog
- Currently incompatible with the module "GM Scene Background" when a GM layer is active
