For Developers

Argon SYSTEM module specifications

To streamline detecting and directing users, there should be an agreed upon naming scheme for the system specific modules:

Module id: enhancedcombathud-systemid
Module title: Argon - Combat HUD (SYSTEMID)

Where one is lowercase and the other is upper case.

Example, for the DnD5e module, it should be id: enhancedcombathud-dnd5e title: Argon - Combat HUD (DND5E)

FAQs

Can you add compatibility for X system?

System other than D&D 5e are supported by the community, you can try asking in your system's discord server or channel if someone is willing to add support for it. If you are a developer and want to add support for a system, feel free to contact me on discord for help. You can also use any of the existing systems as a template.
