Add character image to character sheet - Call of Cthulhu

[MadBeardMan]

Greetings Folks,

I've seen in some of the CoC modules that characters can have an image shown on their 'Appears Tab' of their character sheet (as shown below).

10896

I want to do this but cannot figure out how on earth I can do it. Any help please as this is one of the final niggles I have for my first CoC module creation.

Cheers
MBM

This is I believe only available to NPCs and not to PCs.
You will have to edit the db.xml directly as far as I can see with a tag like this:

<picture type="token">simpsonj.png@Utilities</picture>
In this case the image is found in the Utilities module.

You don't need to edit the XML directly to make images appear in the NPC appearance tab. This area of the NPC sheet accepts dropped tokens. So load up the images you want to use in the tokens\host directory (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Tokens#Loading_Locations) and drag them from the tokens window to the appearance tab. Don't use large images as this functionality isn't designed for large image. FG will autosize to fit within a size of 120x150, so it's best to resize your image to fit within this size before adding it to your FG tokens directory.

Thankyou!
As the images in the module NPCs are bigger than the 63x63 I never thought to try dropping a Token in there. I tried dragging an Image in there which failed.

Thanks chaps. Just booted up my PC so will give it a go.

Also thanks for the very quick response.

Edit: Works a treat! Now to create portraits as tokens just for this.
