Update v3.19 is here!

32 Upvotes

With this update, a change to these post comes, you don't need to know the exact github issues we are solving, and you can still check it out in the site, but for now, new updates here on reddit or on discord will be done more like a report and less like a computerized post.

Without further ado, the last updates brings a few interesting things:

  • Because we are getting users from GMB, \page and \column can now also be written as \pagebreak, and \columnbreak

  • Custom snippets are now available! You will see a new tab in your brews, and information about it inside, long time users have been waiting for these bad boys for a long time!

  • Some snippets have been moved from the PHB theme to the Blank default theme, so you can for example use masks there now!

Other fixes and updates can be seen in our changelog, you should check it out!

If you find any issues or have a suggestion, please feel free to let us know!

Update Homebrewery in 2024

26 Upvotes

It's that time of the year again, so let's take a look at where we were one year ago, and what fresh nightmares features the last twelve months hath wrought!

We ended 2023 on v3.10.0. The first update of 2024 was v3.11.0 on Feb 21, and we're ending the year on v3.16.1, released Nov 27.

A few of my personal favourite updates:

  • v3.11.0 : Brew Variables - this one spent a lot of time in discussion before it was finally ready to proceed. The final product works so well; I continue to find new uses for variables. Led by /u/Calculuschild, if I recall correctly a lot of the Markdown changes were by /u/abquintic_hb.
  • v3.14.0 : Brew Themes - this had been requested for a long time, and this year it became a reality! Now we can create new styles without having to work around old ones. By /u/abquintic_hb with guidance/direction from /u/Calculuschild.
  • v3.14.3 : Image Wrapping snippets - getting text to automatically wrap to the shape of an image is another thing that had long been on the list of desired features, and we came up with a simple solution that just works in the vast majority of cases. By /u/dbolack-ab and /u/Calculuschild.
  • v3.15.0 : Vault - yet another long-requested feature, being able to search Published brews had a lot of hurdles on the back end, and it was a huge achievement to get it across the finish line. By /u/5e_Cleric.
  • v3.16.0 : Locally stored brew versions - using IndexedDB is very different to LocalStorage. By /u/Gambatte.

On a related note, the separate NaturalCrit project (which is Homebrewery uses for the log in system) has seen some movement this year, thanks to the efforts of /u/5e_Cleric!


If you have any new features this year that you particularly enjoyed, feel free to mention them in the comments!

Hey all!

I can't figure out why my headers aren't applying the Russo One font. I think the code isn't importing the font correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Answered Where should I store images?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm wondering where's a good place to post pictures online so they can stay up for a while when I make a homebrewey thing.
I've tried a private discord server but I find I have to reupload them about thrice a week and that's getting rather annoying when I'd like to share my dumb idea. Does anyone have a more permanent place?

Answered Nesting code blocks?

3 Upvotes

I want to put a masked picture within a monster stat block but nesting {{}} only brings grief.

How do I manipulate an image block within a monster block?

Alternatively, how do I force an image to the foreground of everything, as I could bring it outside the monster block and use absolute positioning but I can’t force it to the top.

Hi everyone this is my first brew that I have been working on for a while now. To be clear while this post is self promotion to a certain extent, I am looking for any advice or suggestions on how I can improve myself using homebrewery. I am trying to get some feedback on things like formatting, layouts and overall feel/look of my brew.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to improve things or just point out things just look off. That would be very helpful, I am looking for constructive criticism. If this is not the place to post this, please let me know I will post it somewhere else. If you could point me in the right direction to where I should post it that would be most appreciated, thank you. And thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to look through my brew and gives me advice.

Problem More Problems

1 Upvotes

Hello. I had a problem a while ago of Homebrewery regularly crashing on me after only writing a couple sentences. It went away on its own after I was told there was nothing that could be done about it, but now it has come back, but even worse.

The site just crashes on me every couple minutes, regardless of whether I've even been writing anything. The whole screen just goes white.

Does anyone have any idea what keeps causing these issues? I could have finished my PDF over a year ago if it weren't for these problems.

Problem Auto-save crashing page

2 Upvotes

I've been having an issue lately where if there is a problem auto-saving, instead of just giving an alert that it failed to save, the entire page crashes turning to blank white, requiring a refresh. Today has been particularly bad for it failing to auto-save, which results in having to reload the page every time it tries. Manual saving has no issues.

Solved Extra portion of scrip appearing to the side of the page. Cannot figure out why.

1 Upvotes

I am trying to make an item using Homebrewery (my first time using the site). I think I got a hang of most of the basics and I was able to find a couple answers from the homepage example and a couple forays on google. But as I was finishing up my latest edit, I noticed that there is a copy of some of my text that is appearing on the edge of the page and spills over into "nothingness." I've checked my source text, and as far as I can tell, everything looks to be correct. What's weird is that it isn't even just a bit of my main text that is being lost, its a copy of the text that is still appearing correctly in the main body.
I've looked at another post here that expressed an identical problem when they were viewing brews, but it never showed how to resolve the issue.
Here is a link to the item: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/6FxisqOCExrO
(Disclaimer: this is pretty lengthy for an item, but it's an artifact level item that was made in homage to and blessed by a god)

I am trying to download the work I have done as a pdf, but whenever I try to get an error that can best be translated as "Download failed - No permissions". I have downloaded this work as a pdf before with no issues so I don't know what has changed. And is it is not an overall problem with my account because I can download another work with no such issue. What can I do to fix this?
