Initiative Tracker Plus is derived from TrackerJacker written by Ken L. which was apparently related to The Aaron's TurnMarker. The author James C. (Chuz) has updated TrackerJacker to automatically detect token markers included in a lobby and allow their use in the status effects.

The intent is to continue supporting the script and update it with new features and functionality as they are requested or come to me.

Installation and Configuration

Copy the script's code, available from the menu on the right and stored at Roll20's API GitHub Repository. Paste the code into a new script in your campaign's API Script Editor. Save the new script and it will be available inside your campaign. Soon the script should be available on the one-click API installer.

v1.0 ( 2020-11-23 )

• Changed references to Tracker Jacker to Initiative Tracker Plus. I am doing this to differentiate the new and drastically changing codebase from Ken L.'s original codebase so users that are happy with OG Tracker Jacker can continue to use it without confusion.
