Foundry Basics: Tiles

[@Zephyr-2011]

Another useful tip courtesy of Sharkey on the BW discord: you can hold down the ALT key while resizing tiles to maintain the aspect ratio.

These videos are great. I get overwhelmed with some of the crazy cool stuff you are all doing. I need basics, thank you!

[@Baileywiki]

Glad you're liking them!

Love the channel, started using Foundry to run a game in Greyhawk using the GURPS system. Stuff like this helpful. More so since I’m a gen-xer so I’m struggling with comp stuff, lol

[@gtytus]

excellent video!

[@Kevlar-78]

Thanks for this !!!

12:36 where did you get that pit trap from? I cant find it among FA assets.

[@Baileywiki]

That's one of my assets. It's available inside my premium module.

[@philippkowalski1105]

hi there, great video, as always. Not sure which one is better, the great foundry maps / tiles you provide or these amazing videos. One question: what is the preferred choice for video -> animated GIF or MP4? If it is MP4, how do you handle transparency? THX!

[@Baileywiki]

If you're talking about the tile video format, then WEBM is the preferred. And it handles transparency. I'm not sure I've even tested any other formats 🤔

[@philippkowalski1105]

@@Baileywiki Ah ok... If I may ask, where do you get these animations? Or do you create them yourself?

[@Baileywiki]

I picked up most of my animations from the Gorgon. Check my video descriptions for link to his Patreon. JB2A, Jack Kerouac, and others are also good sources.

Thank you !!!

Hi! I am new to Foundry and love it so far, your videos are a great help, thanks a lot! I do have a question though: I created several folders in the tile browser to manage my assets. Now I am unhappy with the structure and would like to move tiles to a different folder or even folders into other folders…. I just cannot figure out how to do it…😢 any thoughts?

[@Baileywiki]

You want to go into your Foundry data folder from your PC (not from within Foundry itself). Then you can manipulate your folder structure and files as much as you like.

[@PanPhobicProdigy]

Where do you get all of your assets? Like the castle walls and whatever else you use to build your structures?

[@Baileywiki]

For the base assets, I used to use Forgotten Adventures a lot. These days I produce my own assets, and dip into assets from Tom Cartos, DungeonQuill, and Epsilon.

one thousand thank yous

[@Baileywiki]

And a thousand you're welcomes 😊

[@FeelTheWay]

Thanks for the video but when I release the mouse button I don't have the popup to configure the tile :/ Anyone have an idea for this issue ?

[@Baileywiki]

Double click the tile. Or double right-click it. Don't hold the mouse down.

[@FeelTheWay]

@@Baileywiki No . It does nothing. To get over this bug, I used the library and change the picture ...

[@Trotroyanas]

hi i love your work :) hi i love your job :) I have a question which modules are you currently using on Foundry ?

[@Baileywiki]

It's a long list. I'll have to compile the latest 😁

[@Trotroyanas]

@@Baileywiki ho yes :) thank you so much.

[@Trotroyanas]

@@Baileywiki it's very very big ?

[@Baileywiki]

It's over 100. And just down a few pegs on my priority list ☺️

[@Trotroyanas]

@@Baileywiki Ho yes, ok we waiting 😋
