Thanks a ton. Had been going ever more frustrated with seeing players as Mystery Man after installing the Chat Portrait module. Never even thought to click the lower left popup for players.
So if Lord Gyrath is taking the garb and helmet of the now unconscious prison guard Rudolf the GM can switch the token picture to show Gyrath in disguise. Nice. Thanks for your vid.
I'm guessing that all aspects of a portrait/avatar/token are controlled only by the GM, correct? I was looking for instructions on how a PLAYER can upload a character portrait to their character sheet, but I'm guessing they can't.
Hello Brian. Actually there is. However - WARNING WARNING WARNING - to do this means the GM must set permissions allowing players to upload to the server, as well as open the file explorer, itself. This means the player can see your entire "user" directory structure. So, **IF** GMs want to do this, I would suggest that they only give "Trusted Players" (and that's an actual user setting) this kind of access. Of course, the players can't delete anything. But, they can view your file structure and game files. And, potentially they could select someone else's image. (Not sure why they would. But they could.) Hope this helps. And if you have any other questions, feel free to join our Discord server and ask away! (discord.asmodeah.com)
as a player, how can i upload a picture for my character portrait. I did it for my last Actor, but they died and my back up is now stuck with the default because "access unauthorized", it won't let me upload a pic the same way i did before. does my DM have to enable a new setting for me?
So, the DM will need to allow players the ability to upload files, in order for this to work. In all my games, they have this option. However, you may need to contact your DM to make sure that "players" have that permission.
So, this is actually up to your DM. They must give you the ability to do this. However, you may just want to contact him/her and ask if you can send them the image so that they can update it for you. Hope this helps!
Hey Ruben. So, what you'll do is open up your player's character sheet and click on the picture on that sheet. There you can select a new one that will show on the sheet. But remember, that image is NOT linked to your token or avatar. Feel free to jump into our Discord server (HTTP://discord.asmodeah.com) to join others, ask questions, and get any help you may need. Thanks for watching!
This is what I needed. How do I get from the basic cloaked face to getting Lord Gyrath's face. This video was not basic enough. This reminds me of an old South Park joke. Step 1, get underpants. Step 2....... Step 3, Profit!

hey I'm a player in our foundry game and I would like to upload an image of my character from my computer files to my avatar, am I able to do that?
So, this is actually up to your DM. They must give you the ability to do this. However, you may just want to contact him/her and ask if you can send them the image so that they can update it for you. Hope this helps!
But how do you change the portrait?
