GM Screen

Creates a tabbed modular grid that GMs can populate with journal entries, rollable tables, actors, and items. Customize your "GM Screen" by dragging and dropping items into cells and have its information available at any time from a button on the bottom right of the UI, near the sidebar. Roll rollable tables, open linked entities, and even place actor sheets into these cells. Obviously the space constraints mean some sheets will work better than others.

Additionally, any screen you create as GM can be set to be shared with players, so you can provide them with a cheat sheet that is always readily available to them. Be sure you set the permissions correctly on the entities themselves before trying to share them with players on a screen!

Usage

Set up tabs in the Module Settings, and optionally share some with your players.
Drag and Drop Journal Entries, Rollable Tables, even Actors and Items into cells on the GM Screen.
Each cell has settings which allow for that cell to span multiple columns or rows.
Clicking the little icon on the top-right of the cell will pop out the full sized sheet for whatever entity is in the cell. The GM Screen is intended to be read-only, so edits to things inside it will happen for the most part by popping the entity out.
Tabs can be reordered from either the settings or by directly dragging and dropping them in the drawer display.

Configuration

Name	Scope	Default	Description
Grid Tabs	world	Menu	Allows the user to configure multiple tabs of the grid. Each grid tab created can have its own Column Override and Row Override if the default setting isn't what you want for that particular tab.
Columns	world	4	Sets the number of columns in the grid.
Rows	world	3	Sets the number of rows in the grid.
Display as Drawer	client	true	Controls whether the GM Screen appears as a normal popup dialog or as a drawer. To use the PopOut module with the GM Screen, this needs to checked.
Drawer Only: Right Margin	client	0(vw)	Sets the offset from the sidebar to the right side of the GM Screen. This number affects the maximum possible width of the screen.
Drawer Only: Height	client	60(vh)	Sets the height of the GM Screen Drawer.
Drawer Only: Width	client	100(%)	Calculated as a percentage of the available screen width after the sidebar and right margin are taken into account.
Drawer Only: Opacity	client	100(%)	Controls how opaque the drawer is.
Condensed GM Screen Button	client	false	Removes the text from the GM Screen Button.
Reset Grid	world	false	Saving with this checkbox checked will reset the grid (useful if you end up somehow causing it to fail to render).

Note that changing the grid dimensions after populating the grid might cause unexpected results, and odds are you will have to clear the grid and repopulate things.

Tab Configuration

Name	Description
Tab Label	The name of this tab, this is visible to players if the tab is shared.
Columns Override	Override the number of columns in this specific grid tab.
Rows Override	Override the number of rows in this specific grid tab.
Shared	Controls whether or not this tab is also visible to players. If there are no shared grids, the players do not see the Screen at all.
Delete	Removes a Tab.

There is no current way to reorder tabs once created.

Entity Sheet Configuration

It is possible to select a specific sheet for use when an Entity is rendered in the GM Screen which the same entity will not use during normal usage. The best example of this would be to use a specifically designed compact sheet for GM Screen view, but have the normal sheet for usual usage.

Compatibility

I'm honestly not sure how well this will play with modules that make changes to how journal articles or roll tables interact.

Name	Works	Notes
OneJournal	✔️	Works as expected.
MEME	✔️	Markdown Renders as expected.
Inline Webviewer	✔️	Journal entries with webviews work as expected.
Kanka-Foundry	✔️	Journal entries are displayed as expected.
Monk's Enhanced Journal	❌	Not compatible.
PDF Foundry	❌	Currently not possible to embed pdfs into the GM Screen.

API

After the hook gmScreenReady is fired, the following api methods are expected to be on game.modules.get('gm-screen')?.api:

`toggleGmScreenVisibility(isOpen: boolean)`

Opens or Closes the GM Screen. By default will toggle the current state.

game.modules.get('gm-screen')?.api?.toggleGmScreenVisibility(false); // always closes
game.modules.get('gm-screen')?.api?.toggleGmScreenVisibility(true); // always opens
game.modules.get('gm-screen')?.api?.toggleGmScreenVisibility(); // always toggles

`Hooks.callAll('gmScreenOpenClose', cb)`

This hook is called when the GM Screen Opens of Closes with the following as the callback:

(app: Application, options: {isOpen: true}) => void

Known Issues

The grid does not refresh automatically when settings are changed, click the "refresh" button.
The titles of cells do not refresh automatically when the entity is renamed.
Some information will appear to players if they are shared a screen that contains things they do not have permission to view normally.
It is possible to overlap your cells with column/row spanning. It should not be possible to make it so you cannot recover from such a situation manually.
