PFRPG - Bestiary, Paizo (AI) Mod

[Morenu]

This Mod is currently in the ALPHA stage (unfinished)

Forge Link

If This has saved you time and you are inclined to add to my FGU funds, you can PayPal me using [email protected]

The goal of this Mod is to remove the headache of duplicate NPCs, incomplete NPC information, Missing effects, missing images and tokens plus reorganizing NPC names as needed, while also gathering every Paizo NPC I have access to. And now I am also adding the Token - Camera images for the 2.5D mode. NPC Picture examples.jpg

This Mod currently consists of just under 4000 NPCs gathered from all the Paizo FGU items I currently own (Link to my list), Plus Dllewell's PFRPG - Bestiary Mod. If you have Paizo Products I am missing and wish to send XMLs of NPCs from them that I am missing that would be great.

To avoid copyright infringement plus the hassle of images linking to Paizo products you may not own or do not wish to load, I am recreating every image and token using AI images (Currently limiting the max file size to 50kb each for all images).

I am using Nightcafe for the AI images, Now using a filter that is faster and does a better job but does cost points. so got a subscription, much less frustrating and better quality.
Then I remove the background using Night Cafe

I then use the original image and put it into VTT Token Maker to create the token.

Then I open all 3 files in paint.net and resize to 512x512 for the non Token files, crop and edit if needed then save all 3 in webp format at 75%

File Name format:

Main image: Creature Name
2.5D image: Creature Name T
Token: Creature Name Token

I am categorizing NPCs together such as:

Race, Description/Job (Name if unique)

Dragon, type [HD Age] (Name if unique)

Examples of NPCs Labeled together: Demons, Devils, Dragons, Goblins, Humans, Gnomes, Snakes, Spiders...

I am currently finished over 3 pages (150+ NPCs) and have 77 to go. I will rename and edit as I go when I find errors (which there will be many right now)

I would love to have volunteers export NPCs to XML if you find & fix errors or add spell effects or create free to use images, or clean up the Notes area. I can then easily Import them and update If you export the NPC and add them here or send via discord or even PM.

If you want to help, just start a few pages ahead or further than where I am at as I will be going page by page in order. then just post to the forum or send them via Discord.

11/19/2024: Over 200 done, up through Beholder...

Well, Thanks to Moon Wizard and the Webp settings suggested by FGU, I have drastically reduced the image size of all my NPC images (will upload in a little bit and redo the 1st post). due to this...

I have decided to go big... I am adding all 3 pictures... Flat Tokens, Full Image and Token Camera to all 4000ish NPCs... See the following examples:

I have not used the 2.5D in play yet but I suppose having a Bestiary full of usable NPCs will make it easier.

Nice! Thanks a lot

Sounds amazing. But lots of work...

Done through Beholder, got distracted and started adding Dragons. I did 3 different versions for each dragon type Younger, Mature and Old if the dragon type has 12 ages.
