This PR adds an optional alternate display mode for RPG Companion thoughts.
When enabled, thoughts are shown as compact expandable cards directly below the relevant latest character message. When disabled, RPG Companion keeps its original corner/overlay thought bubbles, so the existing behavior is preserved unless the user explicitly switches modes.
The new display mode is built on top of RPG Companion’s existing thoughts system rather than replacing it. Thought UI now updates more reliably across new generations, swipe changes, message deletion, chat reload/re-entry, and live mode toggling, so thoughts stay attached to the correct visible message instead of lingering on stale UI. It also improves restoration of RPG Companion state after reopening a chat, making thoughts and related tracker data more consistent with the current chat view.
Add French translation and localize hardcoded strings :
Changes
1. Translation Files
Created
src/i18n/fr.json
: Contains all French translations for the extension.
Updated
src/i18n/en.json
: Added new keys for terms that were previously hardcoded (e.g., "Force", "Volonté", "Météo", "Locked", "Unlocked").
2. UI Updates
settings.html
: Added "Français" to the language selection dropdown.
3. Code Refactoring
src/systems/rendering/thoughts.js
: Replaced hardcoded strings ("Add Character", "Locked", "Click to edit") with i18n calls.
src/systems/rendering/userStats.js
: Replaced hardcoded tooltips and titles with i18n calls.
src/systems/rendering/infoBox.js
: Localized weather, location, and date widget texts.
src/systems/ui/trackerEditor.js
: Updated the "Reset to Defaults" logic to use localized names for stats (e.g., "Santé", "Force") based on the active language.
- Fix: Status fields with parenthetical descriptions (e.g., 'Conditions (up to 5 traits)') now use the base name for the JSON key ('conditions' instead of 'conditions_up_to_5_traits')
- Fix: Status field value templates no longer repeat the field name with numbered suffixes
- Fix: Editing fields in Present Characters no longer scrolls the panel to the top
- Updated jsonPromptHelpers.js, parser.js, and userStats.js to use new toFieldKey() helper
- Added scroll position preservation to renderThoughts() when re-rendering after field edits
- Improved weather generation: Added hard templates for weather keywords to ensure LLM generates valid weather patterns that match dynamic effects
- Fixed character stat editing bug: Now properly handles array format stats from LLM (values no longer revert on blur)
- Fixed scroll/viewport bug: Mobile-only scrollIntoView prevents page jumping on desktop when editing fields
- Changed Present Characters avatar display: Avatar now aligned with name in header row, fields take full width below
- Updated descriptions and labels
- Align thought bubbles with avatar top instead of center for better visibility
- Fix issue where bubbles extend above avatar when scrolling is limited
- Change thought circles to horizontal layout for cleaner visual flow
- Add responsive positioning that adapts to screen width changes
- Implement smart viewport detection to prevent cutoff at narrow widths
- Add removeCharacter() function to delete characters from panel and saved data
- Remove character from both lastGeneratedData and committedTrackerData
- Add X button to character card header with hover effects
- Button removes character from display and prevents re-inclusion in next generation
- Updates are persisted to chat metadata
- Add npcAvatars storage to extension settings for custom NPC images
- Implement getCharacterAvatar() to check custom avatars first
- Add uploadNpcAvatar() function with file validation (2MB max, images only)
- Make character avatars clickable with visual feedback
- Support left-click to upload and right-click to remove custom avatars
- Add camera icon overlay on hover with smooth animations
- Store avatars as base64 data URIs for persistence across sessions
- Add temporal awareness and stat decay rules to prompt (0-5% per message)
- Add 'Always Include Attributes' toggle in tracker editor
- Fix skills section editing (was not saving customFields)
- Improve Present Characters parser to handle malformed formats (mid-line chars, extra blank lines)
- All changes work in both together/separate generation modes
Fixed issues when AI generates multiple character variants (e.g.,
storyteller mode with 'Dottore (Prime)', 'Dottore (Beta)', etc.):
1. Escape quotes in character names to prevent HTML attribute breakage
- Added escapeHtmlAttr() helper function
- Prevents names like 'Marianna "Mari"' from breaking HTML
2. Restore avatar lookup for character variants
- namesMatch() now strips parentheses and quotes from both sides
- Allows 'Dottore (Prime)' to find 'Dottore' character card avatar
- Each variant still gets its own card with separate attributes
3. Multiple characters now display correctly in panel
- Each variant creates its own character object
- Attributes (Details, Relationship, Stats, Thoughts) don't mix
- All characters appear in the panel, not just the last one
- New setting in Display Options to auto-expand thought bubble
- When enabled, thought bubble displays immediately without clicking icon
- Checkbox added to settings modal with descriptive help text
- Default is off to maintain current behavior
- Load relationshipEmojis from config.relationshipEmojis in thoughts.js
- Custom relationships added in Edit Trackers now display correctly as emojis
- Falls back to default emojis if config not available
Features:
- Made RPG attributes (STR/DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHA) fully customizable
- Added enable/disable toggle for entire RPG Attributes section
- Users can add/remove/rename/toggle individual attributes
- Custom attribute names now appear in AI prompts for dice rolls
- Added proper CSS styling for attribute editor fields
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed character stat editing showing 0% on blur but saving correctly
- Character stats now create Stats line if missing from AI response
- Separated stat name from editable percentage value
- Added value sanitization (removes %, validates 0-100 range)
- Stats line now inserts before Thoughts line when created
Technical:
- Added buildAttributesString() helper in promptBuilder.js
- Updated generateTrackerInstructions and generateContextualSummary
- Restructured character stat HTML to prevent nested contenteditable
- Enhanced updateCharacterField to handle missing Stats lines
- Removed legacy default preset/regex import code
- Completely rewrote updateCharacterField function to work with new multi-line Present Characters format
- Now parses character blocks by '- Name' lines instead of pipe-separated format
- Handles updating Details, Relationship, and Stats lines correctly
- Supports all field types: name, emoji, custom fields, relationship, character stats
- Creates new character blocks if character doesn't exist
- Fixes bug where edits would revert because old format logic couldn't parse new format
- Users can now successfully edit all Present Characters fields
Features:
- Complete tracker configuration UI with add/remove functionality
- User Stats: Custom stats, status fields, skills section
- Info Box: Configurable widgets (date, weather, temp, time, location, events)
- Present Characters: Custom fields, relationships, character stats, thoughts

- Ensures Recent Events and all tracker data persist correctly across page reloads
Character names containing regex special chars (like brackets) were
causing 'Invalid regular expression' errors when building character
thoughts HTML. Now properly escapes characters before RegExp creation.
PROBLEM (from Salixfire's debug logs):
- Parser successfully extracted 5 characters
- Log showed complete characters array
- Log stopped abruptly before "✓ HTML rendered to container"
- This indicates exception thrown during HTML building (lines 217-281)
DIAGNOSIS:
- Parsing works perfectly (5 characters extracted)
- Code crashes somewhere in the HTML building loop
- User sees placeholder because exception prevents HTML from rendering
- No error logs because crash happens silently
LIKELY CAUSES:
- getGroupMembers() throwing exception
- Character avatar lookup failing
- getSafeThumbnailUrl() failing
- Missing null checks
SOLUTION:
Added comprehensive error handling and debug logging:
1. Added logging before HTML building starts
- "Starting HTML generation for N characters"
- This confirms code reaches HTML building phase
2. Wrapped each character in try-catch
- Logs each character being processed: "Building HTML for character 1/5: Lady Julia"
- Prevents one character error from crashing entire function
- Code continues with other characters even if one fails
3. Added detailed avatar lookup logging:
- "Looking up avatar for: {name}"
- "In group chat, checking group members..."
- "Group members count: N"
- "Found avatar in group members/all characters/current character"
- Shows final avatar URL (first 50 chars)
4. Wrapped getGroupMembers() in try-catch
- Catches group-specific errors
- Logs error but continues with regular character lookup
5. Added success/error logging for each character:
- "✓ Successfully built HTML for {name}"
- "✗ ERROR building HTML for {name}: {error.message}"
- Logs full error stack for debugging
6. Added completion log:
- "Finished building all character cards"
- Confirms loop completed successfully
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Next debug log from Salixfire will show EXACTLY:
- Which character is causing the crash (if any)
- What operation is failing (avatar lookup, HTML building, etc.)
- Full error message and stack trace
- Whether code completes or crashes
This will allow us to identify and fix the root cause.
Files changed:
- src/systems/rendering/thoughts.js: Added try-catch blocks and comprehensive logging
