Back to FG and need some help

[KILLGORE]

Hello Fantasy Grounds!
Havent been here in a while and I wanted to stop in and ask a couple question as I am planning for 2 module conversions for FG. I havent dont them since classic and I just picked up a copy of unity to see what the big changes are.
What I am seeing is mainly the images tab and its options. So to start there; What is a camera token? Is that for the 3d view? How do you dev's extract or capture them?

Second question; If the module only has a text entry stat block for a NPC and no picture, is it standard to use just a letter token for both token and camera token?

Third question; Is there a downloadable version of the FG unity manual for offline use?

I live in a rural area and dont really use the internet besides on my cell phone currently so reading the wiki isnt an option. Does anyone have a link to a downloadable dev manual or manual in general for reference?

Thanks in advance, I will check back in a couple days to see whats been said.

Yes, the camera token is for the 3d view. Information here on how to create camera tokens. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...es-in-3D-space

Yes, if there's no image usually a letter token is used (it's really the only option).

You can create a pdf of the wiki. Click on the Fantasy Grounds VTT User manual link on the left hand side and in the page that pops up in the list on the right is a link to Printing Out a Custon User manual.

Also note that Stories entries are not really used now. What for awhile was called the Reference Manual is now called Books and is where all your text should go, along with the ability to insert images with them.

Thanks for the help! One problem; I have tried downloading the manual from the site using it's directions for printing out a PDF and no matter if I choose 2 pages or all of it, it will not finish telling me unable to export PDF. I have tried on multiple browsers and 2 solid wifi connections.

I can reproduce the issue.
I tried printing the Basic Guide portion of the Wiki. Note it took about 493 seconds until it failed (at maybe 93% complete). Looks to me like it is too large for it to create the whole PDF in one go.
The Interacting with the Table Top section failed at 202 seconds and 89%.
Trying to print the Using the 5E Tutorial Campaign sub-section fails at 30 seconds and 50%.
Trying the single Submit a Support Ticket page fails at 18 sec and 40%.

Looks like the whole export is broken.

[Zacchaeus]

Yep, as you say no matter how small you make the export it fails at some point. Sounds like maybe you should create a support ticket so that can get looked at. (don't try printing out the support page - that doesn't work either )

I thought of a couple other things I need to ask about.

NPC spell lists are dissappearing when I lock the profile. Will they reappear when the module is exported and be opened in read only later? It did this in classic also and I often wondered why some people didnt lock it to read only because of this.

The location bar is new to me. Why cant I import a picture into it from a folder instead of the token packs? How do I get a picture to import into the location data windows? The images are not showing up and or loading. ow do you import an image exactly? I have had success sometimes and others it wont work for me. I must be doing something wrong. I used to drop them in the campaign>images folder and they would refresh in FGs image menu, but that does not seem the case in unity. Also the chat says the image already exists in campaign, but then doesnt show anywhere to view it in FG. What am I doing wrong?

society badges and page- D&D character sheets have the RPGA tab. I am primarily a Pathfinder and Starfinder player now. Can we get a society tab so we can put the info from society games on the sheet so we dont have to type our info, save items and codes etc,for the GMs? I kind of expected Smiteworks to do this for years since the D&D sets have it. Why not? I use the player notes field, but, D&D has it!!!!

effects window- Can you make a poison or disease effect that can be saved say as "bad disease" and be able to drag and drop it as an effect onto a player in combat tracker? Sort of like saving common diseases, afflictions, poison effect, etc for frequent use?

Frog God Games tome of horror complete and tome of horror 4; templates dont line up in unity. can you fix? I use both the Green Ronin Advanced bestiary templates and they work fine, but the FGG ToH, the text and fields are off alignment. I can build my own template so it must be just a matter of tweaking them for the Tome of Horrors. Do I report this to a specific thread?

[Zacchaeus]

I'm not sure what you mean by NPC spell lists disappearing. You may want to post this query in the forum for the ruleset that you are seeing this in.

I'm not sure either by what you mean by locations bar. If you mean the locations tab in the right hand menu then you can add an image to the images tab either by dragging from the images list or directly from assets > Images. To import images into your campaign see the first video here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-do-I-in-Unity

You'll need to add (or vote if it's already there) a suggestion to the features request page to get the Society tab added for the rulesets that don't have it. Link in my signature.

Yes, you can create effects in the effects window and drag and drop it into a player on the Combat Tracker.

As for the templates, again I'm not sure what you mean.

I'd suggest that you post queries which relate to specific rulesets in the forum for that ruleset. That way people who use that ruleset and can help moore directly can see your post and respond accordingly.

This forum is intended for people who want to create new rulesets and extensions for rulesets and thus very few people will ever see your posts here.

Thanks for the help. It takes me a few days to read and respond due to internet.
I figured some of this out with your help. Ill follow up with a clarification in a day or so.
