EMMA’s alpha

The EMMA extension, EMMA on Foundry VTT’s setup screen, is an alpha build: it is being tested, and changes often. Its footer says so, and links to this page.

Warning

Use the alpha at your own risk, and only on a test installation: not on a server whose worlds you play. Running a plan installs, updates and uninstalls packages, and can update Foundry VTT itself. Back up your worlds before you run one.

What the alpha period means

  • It changes often. Each release may change how EMMA looks and works, and may bring fixes and new problems alike. The window’s title gives the version, such as EMMA - installation (0.1.1), so that you can say which one you ran.

  • Acknowledge it for each version. Before EMMA runs its first plan, you must acknowledge that you understand it is an alpha: with I understand in the footer, or in the plan’s confirmation, where the final Run stays disabled until you do. Running a plan is the only thing EMMA does that changes your installation. The browser remembers your answer for that version; a new version asks again.

  • It has limits. See Limitations of the alpha.

Where to find help

  • Documentation: The browser extension describes the extension and EMMA on the setup screen, and Usage describes the EMMA module in a world.

  • Discord: ask questions, and tell us what you find, on EMMA’s Discord server.

  • Issues: report a problem on GitHub, with EMMA’s version and what you did.
