All D&D minis as tokens - automated

Not sure I can be much help, but I remember when I ran the script I had to do it one directory at a time for some reason.

What happened when you ran the vbs file ? Were you trying for the DnD or Star Wars figs ?

dnd, it only pulled like 60 images (just the archfiend images) and didn't label em then i got the error:

windows script host
Script: C:\users.....\download_images_directory_per_set.vb s
Line: 25
Char: 1
Error: The System cannot find the file specified
Code: 80070002
Source: Null

thats it

First guess, look to see if the "download_images_directory_per_set.vb s" file exists. I that it may have a space in the BAT file, or whatever is running. If that is the case, you'll want to get rid of that space.

Second guess, it may be that WotC has moved stuff around. I'm betting on the first though.

nah the space was just a typo on my part, i think wotc renamed the first few sets in the file list because the names are importing now, but still it only does one at a time and doesn't create folder so basically now i'm just downloading one set at a time putting them into a folder deleting that set from the script and re-running, its still saving hours of work, just would have been cooler if it work like it probably originally did.

i have to say i tried a couple of these and worked perfectly. thank you very much to the bright little sparks who put much time and effort into this and shared with the rest of us.

You could also try this script.

I based this off of Valeros' script. It downloads the images, resizes the images based on the size of the monster (ex, 50x50 for Large is 100x100), and creates a MOD file.

hah - another wonderful script. i spent an hour debugging as i had not actually installed imagemagik but just d/l files and added to path... gave up and copied imagemagik folder to where your script expected it to be and it ran perfectly...
what do i do with the mod files?

These are modules for FG. You can put them in your "modules" folder under the Application Data folder.

The reason for the MOD files is to reduce on the amount of time to load FG for the players. You can open the MOD when needed and close it when finished.

so the modules will contain all the icons from that set?
how do i create a mod with only a dozen icons in it for a quick shot adventure?

You should be able to pull the minis out of the modules into the campaign. Open the module and put the minis you need on a map, then close the module. If memory serves me correctly, they will be available in the root of the token box.

Try it out and let me know if this still works. I did it once, but I'm having issues with my FG after switching to a new PC.
