GM Needs to be on the active scene. Have the GM when testing active also, while using it from a browser.

GM Needs to be on the active scene. This is a limitation for players to not swap scenes(For scene spoilers or exploration) when the GMs are offline.

It will be a bit tedious to set up, but the best option that currently exists, I would say the V12 Token teleporters, as it uses it's own tile "Scene Regions", as in case you want to actually set a tile trap or something, it is better to have them separated. I actually have a video about that.

Be advised the combat difficulty was not modified(just the zombies to chrysalids), as I did want to have the same experience as the original LW, combat wise, pod sizes and HP still remain as the original. I wanted to go into that too, if memory serves, but I decided against it as it technically wouldn't be LW anymore. I just made it so that everything can be more easily replaced if lost, and the soldiers with a small bump. Another mod that can help lower the difficulty is Virtual Reality Training mod, it is compatible.

@@RPKris Ok thanks! Right now I'm playing Long War 2, it's actually playable and is similar. I want to return to Long War one day and I'll try it then, thanks. There's also a second wave option in Long War to lessen the number of aliens on maps and it's description says you should tweak some file that sets the amount of weapon fragments you get or something, I wanted to look into it too.

I love it that you can do it directly in Foundry, it's also updated to V12, which is great 😁

Version 12 actually has it somewhat built in and is way easier to set up. I'm still waiting a bit for the "dust to settle" for a bit to see if I should make an update.

Yup that's valid. Was debating if I should let the whole video in. But close of 30 minutes of me editing one or two lines of text and then firing up the game just to see the update, that's also why I didn't let in the editing of the second game. Felt it was overkill. As soon as 1 line is edited, all others are exactly the same.

Thank you for the comment! Was fun figuring it out.

I appreciate that greatly!

Great module! Question: Split currency works not only within the player tokens at scene, but also between all players, including inactive. How to fix it?

That is the default behavior for both currency and items, and can be changed. Go to "Configure Pile" > "Other Settings" and select "Split Only With Active Players". Let me know if I can help with anything else.

@@RPKris It works! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any settings to change this parameter for all new piles.

@@BezDopinga Yup it is on a pile-by-pile basis. You can submit a feature request on the item piles Github page. The developers of modules are quite responsive on feature requests.

That is great news. I genuinely did not know. Thank you so much!

PDF to Foundry sadly

@@DaTDav3 Noooo!

Oh... Yeah... completely forgot about that. That is a bit sad. But in all fairness we need to provide some credit to the Foundry PF2 teams. They did manage to bring most of the APs and Adventures to the VTT. In high quality I might add.

I genuinely apologize for the delay was out of the country for a few weeks. The creator of this map is Reclusive Cartographer, and I do personally love his maps. He does provide on most maps, inside areas like the one of the video, separated from the main encounter map. I prefer these as a DM make things easy to track for me, as a DM, when different players are doing different things(or encounters). There's a link in the description to his page. However, as a good rule of thumb, I do merge maps with multiple layers in Photoshop, and export as WEBP, as Foundry does support it, and also makes the load time more bearable. If you check the token video, the landing page, is a lot of "maps" merged.

Ok @@RPKris that's very handy using WEBP to reduce the loading page! I got a player from other continent and he has problems loading the pgn or jpg (20mb) files.

Thank you for the comment! Depends for what you want it to use it. There's "Token Variant Art" for foundry v11. Which I would say works a bit similarly. If you want to do this for Pathfinder 2e, PDF to foundry works directly now by adding them(or it should) prior to Core changes it did work. But I would recommend simply getting the bestiary pack for FVTT11 the quality is well above that what can PDF to Foundry can pull.

Glad I could help!

One of my old players did talk about existing something similar. But I am fairly uncertain on how it works, and unsure of the legality of it, as WotC are very strict with their digital content. Thank you for the question! I will throw in a question to my player, do let me know if you're interested.

WotC doesn't provide any PDF versions of its materials so it wouldn't be possible (well Unearthed Arcana but... not really the point). 5e Does have the DNDBeyond Importer which will work if you've purchased it there.

Thank you for the comment, @@rustytoasteroven There is an alternative, however, not official that was able to find, however, I am very unsure about it's legality.

Thank you so much!

Honestly, I think this should be in Core Foundry.

Let me know if there are any modules that you want to see showcased

Glad you liked it!

If you right click on the drawing, you have options to create layers. If you push the layer back(down arrow) it will technically make it invisible. Hope this helps! (there is a possibility that this is affected by a different module, which is called FXMaster, let me know if it is so)

Thank you for the comment, it's more helpful than you think! I've re-watched the video and I think I know what you're referring to, and I am a bit unsure if it was me, or a bug. I've attempted to recreate this locally, and unfortunately, I was able to recreate it, and I think I have figured what causes it, and submitted an bug (issue)request and hopefully it will be shortly fixed.

You just need to lock the frame layer so you can't resize it with the mouse wheel, I think you did it to match the image size so it comes out of the top and bottom of the frame. That's the limitation tokenizer has with image size, make it too big and it goes out of the working space you have completely

@@Roi007leaf I thought I did that too. I was able to recreate it and submitted a bug as no scroll wheel was involved. Also received a response on the bug request. There's a setting if you create automatic tokens the default setting is set to -35. Which decreases the sizes of tokens by 35%. Thought it was bug, but it was literally a feature which I overlooked. Setting is "Default Token Offset" and by default is at -35.

Absolutely agree!

It should work just fine, and have two different pictures

You go to `Game settings`, (gearbox at the top right where the chat is), then `Manage Modules` and simply activate or deactivate the modules you would like to use.

@@RPKris Thanks!

The frame(actually 3 frames and the backgrounds) are in a folder in the bestiary module.

When I've made my previous video tackling basically the same thing but without masks editing, and for V10, had put in a feature request on the module to be able to create masks. Cause looking when I've made it, there was a way to create it but you needed to use different tools(ie Photoshop/Gimp), and seeing that it already supported masks, I've thought that there is a possibility to have like a selector for basic shapes and put in said feature request. I did not expected it but 2 days later an update came, and it was this. It was amazing. Apologies for taking so long, but finally got around to make a video about it.

@@RPKris The FoundryVTT community is truly wonderful!

Not to my knowledge, as the creator had to do all of the entries map/journal/descriptions manually. But do let me know if they work I don't have any copies of the official PDFs in different languages.

So-so, if you install the module all of them will 'installed' more akin to downloaded, but aftewhich you can fine tune a playlist to your liking by removing tracks you don't like.

Thank you for the feedback. I've already created a follow-up on this video, but in the future I'll incorporate an use basis example. For this specifically I'd say is player exploration, as multiple players with the power of VTT, are no longer limited by one location. They can go individually to any location they want. Another use is for modular dungeons that can be connected and explored without any DM input. Or scenes that have multiple layers like taverns with basements and an additional floor can be connected and freely explored without manually swapping scenes.

All of them get installed with the mod and are available at any time in the compendiums. After activation of the module, go to the compendiums tab, open the specific compendium and import all or what you need. Tabletop had specific playlists created for easier import, and Michael Ghelfi has 2 main folders. But both can be active at the same time with no issues. After which is all available in the music tab. It sounds more complicated than it actually is, but it's rather straight forward.

@@RPKris Ah ok! I noticed that about the compendium in your video. Never thought to go to the compendium for the import of the audio. Many thanks for the video and reply. Still learning MUCH of FVTT.

Thank you for the comment! I never encountered this issue personally, but I am assuming it is a behavioral issue due to either file size, as these modules are on the bigger size, or hosting on services like Forge. Before and after a game have your players assist with testing this module and when it happens, open up the console(F12) to see what triggers it as well for the players. From what I've noticed on Forge(this happens only there, this does not happen on hosted services like Oracle), music sometimes does take a solid minute to load, but it always loads, however, the same thing happened for me on what you described to animated maps, I think it's a limitation of the network at that time as no errors in consoles were provided.
