Including Tokens in a Ruleset

[LordEntrails]

What is the standard or best practice for locating tokens (i.e. things that show up in the token bag) in a ruleset? I've found that CoreRPG has a "./tokens" and a "./graphics/token" folder, but neither seems to have default PC/NPC tokens in them.

Tokens should only be included in a ruleset if they are part of the functionality of the ruleset (such as playing cards for SW).

For tokens you want to just make available with a ruleset as extra options for players, they should be stored in a token module.

Yea, understood. I'm still debating if I should make them as a module or just include them in the ruleset. I can't see using the ruleset without them, but I guess its' possible (though more likely someone would just replace them with their own). So at the moment I was going to include them in the ruleset.

I've included a set of tokens with Mongoose Traveller/Mongoose Traveller2E, and then for 1E had another 2 sets as Token Modules.

So, back to the question :) What folder do ruleset tokens get placed into?

I can't directly answer that as my tokens are added to the Reference Manual which is built using a special tool. Sorry! I hope that someone else can directly answer.

FYI, experimentation shows that the './tokens' folder is where any tokens will show up in the Ruleset tokens bag.
Note that you must Exit the campaign and restart it, the '/reload' command is not sufficient.

I noticed that there is an ever empty "Ruleset" token subfolder in the tokens window. The tokens for the used PF2 ruleset are in their own folder, though. So what does the empty "Ruleset" folder do then and can we remove it somehow?

It's not empty. It has two completely transparent tokens. These are used by some extension developers for token overlays and were requested to be included in CoreRPG a few years ago.

You can't remove the token bag without manually editing the CoreRPG ruleset.
