Hello! New GM learning Foundry, here. I was wondering if this mod has been rendered (partially) broken when it comes to the stock Bestiary entries? Importing the Bestiary PDFs *does* populate the directory structure with usable monster tokens and images. But even after the bestiary compendiums are imported to the Actors tab, the relevant actors are not (automatically) assigned their images or tokens. Both the actor image and the tokens need to be configured manually on a case-by-case basis. Is this normal or expected? Is this an issue that is swiftly rectified with Paizo's premium token pack?
You have to leave it on and the art is only applied if it exists and on drag to the world. It may also be partially broken - I'm not sure. The premium art pack is vastly superior in that it has 100% coverage for all NPCs in Bestiaries 1-3 (even tokens with no other art available in the pawn boxes or the battle cards or the bestiaries themselves! This is the ONLY product with 100% coverage) and the mapping will definitely work. PDF to Foundry was a fan project that was a pain to make work (and will likely break with the change to the remaster when monster core comes out) whereas it sounds like the token pack will simply be updated for free when monster core comes out (I'm neither Paizo nor Foundry so that's not a guarantee or a promise I can make, but that is the intent as far as I have been informed)
PDF to Foundry is specifically for Paizo PDFs and is coded for each PDF independently. WotC doesn't have PDFs to import, and the systems are totally different.
We current run Abomination Vaults with an import to V9 and then upgraded to V10, it seems ok as far as I can tell. Would you recomend a direct V10 import, or is it unlikely to make any difference?
So I just got the humble bundle $30 activated everything, when I go to foundry install modules the abomination vaults module is locked from foundry but pf2e Paizo downloads page says I have it. I’ve downloaded the pdf. It won’t open the pdf after the first 250 or so loading bit… I have pdf to foundry pf2e yessir… just trying to get ideas :)
Did you take the Paizo Foundry code and add it to your foundry account? The PDF for the full book of Abomination Vaults cannot be used with PDF to Foundry, but if you have the premium module why would you want to?
This seems just amazing, I have a question tho. Will it only work with the english version of the pdf? I already own a couple of translated pdf from the official editor here in Spain (Devir) and Im curious if I can use them.
Such amazing work, huge props to FryGuy for this massive undertaking!
Wow! Thank you so much to FryGuy for working on this… I’ve just started to set up for PF2e, and this is marvellous news! Again, thank you…
The whole team is unbelievable. Thanks to FryGuy for this!
Just tried this. It worked great! I did need to download fresh pdf copies though. Very excited to use this.
This module is awesome. I am glad another picked it up
That is so epic in scope it's jaw-dropping. Now excuse me while I go figure out how to give FryGuy multiple orders of his beverage of choice.
Is there something similar to this for 1E or Starfinder?
Thank you fryguy!

@@foundrypf2evolunteers Understood. Thank you kindly for the detailed response. :)
I know Foundry work on it but will there be a Kingmaker 2e in PDF to Foundry?
Edit: No, I believe it is premium content coming.
Worked for Troubles in Otari, but when I try importing Abomination Vaults I'm getting the "failed to detect PDF" error.
Are you using the three book version? Since there is a premium version for the one book version it is not supported.
Will this work for d&d 5e?

Direct, saves time
@@Shadowkunakari Not in my case, as I already have the V9 import upgraded to V10. So its more work for me to do a fresh V10 import.

This is incredible.
If I buy a pdf from Paizo, how does the module know it is legitimate?
There is code that checks for the Paizo watermark in the PDF
where did you get the better maps?
is it the flipmap?
Interactive maps
I heard him say interactive maps but not sure where you get them...
@@roll4stealth671 it's usually part of the adventure paths. When you buy the pdf it includes that. Not sure if all of them have it
@@sandkiller ah ok I'll look at my paizo account and see what i have in my downloads.
This seems just amazing, I have a question tho. Will it only work with the english version of the pdf? I already own a couple of translated pdf from the official editor here in Spain (Devir) and Im curious if I can use them.
Only the English version because of how the importer works, unfortunately.
@@foundrypf2evolunteers Whoops okay, understandeable. Thanks for the quick response
God (whichever you pick) bless!
Generally Nethys ;)
Thanks as always Tmun!! Question - do the bestiary/gmg imports need to be done once per world, or just once per server?
I think once per server, but it has been a while since I've used them :)
late, but can confirm it's once per server
Does FryGuy have a patreon??? Cause they should be getting paid for such top tier work, imo
He did, but when he broke even he discontinued it.
Hey, you mentioned the spiritual successor to this, but im having a hard time finding it. What module did you mean? Great video btw!
Deidril's PDF importer
This is not healthy for my wallet. Now I want to buy everything pf2e...
Take advantage of the humble bundles and discounts for that!, its what i did hehe
@@gglovato thank you, any ideas where I should check first?
@@dadosyleyendas Do it today! There's a TON of stuff availible today, including AV Foundry Content.
