So I can follow the instructions for FGU but there is no "import" button in the images area.

Anyone give me a prompt on how to import images for use as tokens and maps?

Please provide a screenshot of the images window opened from the right hand sidebar. This will help us to identify the issue.

That looks like you’re using FG Classic.

Click the folder button, this will open a file explorer window in the campaign images directory. Copy image files you want to use in the campaign into this directory. They will then appear in the campaign images list.

definitely FGU.

ok will try what you note regarding copying images into the folder that pops up in the OS

BTW Newcastle? That's where I grew up!

Cool. I used to deliver newspapers round there.

The Traveller Module .mod is really a template module with place holders for the relevant sections & structure used by mongoose, useful for creating modules for exporting. it won't help you figure what goes where or how to do it.

Hi, I've had a look at adzlings problem, and can't seem to get it to work either, I'll admit I don't use Unity (yet), I did however try putting the image directly into the game folder via windows and it still does not show.


I've loaded in a module made in classic and there no issue there, everything is where it should be(so far).


Any thoughts?

Ok I was able to get an image added into the campaign following the bulk addition procedure outlined here (method 2):

https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/950633/Working+with+Images+as+the+GM

The image is showing up in the Assets Library in my Campaign folder but now I can't seem to add it to a Story item or even open it within FGU.

See below:

Any idea please on how to use the asset once it's added?

thanks

UPDATE: I managed get images in and useable via Method 3 (Manual Import from Assets) on this page: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/950633/Working+with+Images+as+the+GM

Does anyone know why the *far* simpler "Import" button (Method 1 on the page linked to above) is not implemented?

thanks!
