Racooze.de 2.0

Hello everyone,

This week was honestly pretty intense. On average, I was working around 14 hours a day, and the remaining time mostly went into making food and getting some sleep. Still, I think the work was worth it.

I’m happy to introduce the new website https://racooze.de.

The previous design was more like version 1.1, since it was mostly a visual update with new graphics and a switch to dark mode. This new release is much closer to a real version 2.0, because it also brings several new features.

The gallery has been completely reworked and now includes filtering by tags, adventures, free and premium maps, as well as a sorting function.

Even though the gallery already allows filtering, the Adventures section still remains as its own menu point, so you can get a better overview and easier access to maps by adventure.

The Modules section mainly received a new design on the surface, but the module download system in the background has been completely rebuilt. From now on, the old issue of tokens expiring should no longer happen. Once you log in through Patreon the usual way, a download token will be stored in the database and linked to your Patreon account if it does not already exist. This token is now static, which means it no longer expires.

There is also now a direct link to the Early Access Gallery and the FoundryVTT instance.

The Commissions section no longer points to Fiverr as the main platform. Fiverr is still available, but it is no longer the recommended option.

For you, this means more features across the website. However, for Patreon modules and Early Access access, there is one important change: the old tokens from before this website release are now invalid. You will need to generate a new one and re-download the module.json file.

It is still possible that some errors may appear. If you notice anything broken, please let me know immediately so I can fix it as quickly as possible.

And one more thing regarding battlemap tags: there are definitely too many in some places, and some are not ideal. If someone opens a thread in #suggestion-box for tag suggestions, whether that is adding or removing tags, please use that thread instead of creating multiple separate ones.

And please always include the URL as well, otherwise I cannot reliably tell which map or page the tag suggestion belongs to.

Have fun exploring the new site.
