Videos on how to use Fantasy Grounds VTT

Hello.

I don't know if i'm allowed to ask questions over here or if i'm supposed to open a new topic. If someone can clarify that to me, i'd be thankful.

Question:
I'm GMing an adventure where every outdoor map must be Dim light or total Darkness. Is there a Way that i can add this kind of light into a map (not a token), so it applyes to all players?

Simply by having no lights on your map and enabling lighting will give you total darkness. For dim light you could use the Time of Day Fx to adjust the amount of brightness. Or you could add ambient light to the maps and adjust the alpha channel to increase or decrease the brightness.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm wanting to go full in on the 3D play style for FG. Is there a way to convert 2D maps/images to 3D? If so, is it only for individual map assets or layers, or can the entire map be converted?

I've also been trying to find 3D maps that FG has already premade, but I do not see any. I'm an art subscriber, and there's three new immersive map packs, which are nice for creation, but don't have a sample map for trying out, which is kind of a bummer. I think that would really ignite a fire for creators to be able to sample a fully immersed map.

Anyway, I just want to know if there is a way of conversion. If not, are there any good tips or instructions for fast 3D map and token building? Thanks in advance!

You'll need to use the art packs to add assets to the 2d map to give it the 3d feel.

How do I bold/italic text now in new version 4.7.0?

In a formatted text field it should still be ctrl-i or right menu. But I haven't updated yet so can't be sure.
A screen shot of exactly what text in what object of what ruleset will allow us to give you a better response.

Same as always; highlight the text and hit CTRL+B for bold, CTRL+i for italic or CTRL+U for underline.Someone else mentioned that the radial menu no longer had theses options and I can't remember if they were on the radial menu or not since I never used it.

A quick note that I'm currently recording new videos, re-recording existing ones, and removing some older videos that are no longer relevant from the first post in this thread. This is mainly because so much has changed in FGVTT over the last 5 years since I started posting the videos.

If you have suggestions for videos that you'd like to see do let me know.
