Installation & Setup
Follow these steps to install the Smartphone Widget and get it running in your Foundry VTT world. The initial setup must be performed by a Game Master (GM).
Foundry Version Support
- Smartphone Widget supports Foundry VTT V13 and V14.
- Do not install this version on Foundry V12 or older. Older Foundry versions are no longer supported.
- If you are updating an older world, update Foundry to V13 or V14 first, then update Smartphone Widget and check that the world opens normally.
1. Installing Dependencies (Crucial Step)
This module requires GlitchSmith Library. Install and activate it before enabling Smartphone Widget in a world.
-
GlitchSmith Library: Required shared library for Smartphone Widget. It provides common services used by GlitchSmith modules.
- When you install Smartphone Widget, GlitchSmith Library should be automatically flagged as a required dependency and installed alongside it.
- If it is not installed automatically, install it manually: in the Add-on Modules tab, click "Install Module," search for "GlitchSmith Library," and click "Install."
- If GlitchSmith Library is disabled in a world, Smartphone Widget shows a permanent error notification asking the GM to enable the GlitchSmith Library module in Module Management.
-
Smartphone Widget v2.2.0 or later requires GlitchSmith Library 0.5.0 or later for shared sheet-currency handling and library-backed update notifications.
