How to make a Token Module

[Zacchaeus]

I've followed the OP video, but was not able to make it work on a Mac. I could follow the instructions right up until the zipping up process. There is a built in "compress file" function in Mac OS, and it created a file called "Archive.zip" I renamed it to the name I had specified on the .xml file, and then changed the file type to .mod, but my Fantasy Grounds is not seeing the module. Any advice?

EDIT: I was able to get help on the FG College Discord server, but wanted to post the solution here, in case someone else runs into the same issue that I did. It turns out that Mac OS was appending a hidden .zip to the end of the file, so FG was not able to recognize it as a .mod file. The solution is, before changing the file name, go into Finder/Preferences/Advanced and make sure that "Show all filename extensions" is checked. Thanks to Alex C for the assist!

Whilst I couldn't show this on the video because I don't have a mac it is noted in the Wiki that there's a kink when zipping mac files.

Windows has a similar setting as well. Depending on your windows version it something like View > Options > Show File Extensions

Which is also probably in the wiki!

Is there a video on the best way to actually creating some tokens? I have been able to modify this .mod file but I am not sure how to create new tokens to put into this folder before converting it back to a .mod file.

Sorry for the post, I found my answer on the RP Tools website, there is a tool there called TokenTool which is a free download and it allows for the creation of tokens....hope that helps with creating tokens to be used in your game session.
