Player Landing Page | Foundry VTT Tutorial

[@CantripsMedia]

UPDATE: I'm dropping my Ko-Fi page, but you can still get the background, transparent png file and the sounds on my website! Still for free too! Just go here: cantripsmedia.com/products/foundry-vtt-landing-page-assets COPY AND PASTE THIS CALENDAR MACRO SimpleCalendar.api.showCalendar() I always wanted to spend more time on my Ko-Fi page, but it just never panned out! But I'll keep offering free stuff from my videos on my website here: cantripsmedia.com/pages/freebies

I very much appreciate your attention to detail regarding the mundane aspects of this platform. I have seen a few how-to videos on landing pages that assume a ton of knowledge on the viewer's part, and you do a great job filling in the blanks.

[@CantripsMedia]

Awe I'm glad! I hate tutorials where I have to find another tutorial to help me with the tutorial haha. So i try hard to be clear, concise and detailed

[@Valior86]

I really love what you've done here. I was originally looking for landing page assets but came across your video. I wasn't even aware of some of the things I could do with the landing page. Thank you.

[@CantripsMedia]

So glad it was helpful!!

Monk's Active Tiles is a must have module! Great video 😉

[@FlotsamDM]

Thanks for this! I'm about to create a world from scratch including info from PDFs so this will help a lot

15:28 Work out how long it takes a PC to travel over one HEX. So if a HEX is 24 miles it would take about 10 hours to hike across. SO if a town is 3 hexes away it will take 30hrs to get there hiking (non-stop!, you will need to add time for rests) THUS instead of a distance in the configuration write a time, 0.46: Unit: Day So now when you measure it will say 1.38 days (add a 8 hour rest for 1.46 days. If they want to rest!) If you dont like the 1.38 days then keep it as hours, 10 Unit: Hours So when you measure it it will just say 30 hours (38 with a rest) Alter these times based on exploration activities (For the PF2e System) This way you get a good idea how long it's gonna take to get there

Great Video, I am going to use this as a starting point for my new world

[@CantripsMedia]

Glad it was helpful! I hope your world is amazing!!! Good luck!

[@Belly6815]

Great video, super helpful

[@CantripsMedia]

Glad you liked it!

[@mrbrianparker]

Thanks for pointing out "Hoverover Pointer" in MATT. Don't know how I missed it. 👍

[@CantripsMedia]

There's so many things you can easily miss so I'm glad it helped!

[@FineappleRyan]

Comment for the algorithm 👍

[@windmark8040]

This was right on time! Thanks!

[@CantripsMedia]

I'm glad!! Let me know if you think of any other cool things to add to a landing page!

[@preacherman141]

Thanks so much for this, what an awesome tutorial! I am having issue with the maps, I’m able to get everything set up properly but when I click on the regional and city maps the pop out box is much smaller and only a portion of the map rather than the whole map, have you encountered this?

[@CantripsMedia]

Unfortunately I have not. I would recommend joining the Foundry VTT discord server someone might be able to help there. We also have a discord channel on the Cantrips server where someone might be able to run you through some troubleshooting. (Link for that is in the description). It's easier when you can see screenshots or videos of the issue

So, on your Dashboard, it sounds like every single player has to look at Temper's character portrait, but when they click Temper's face, they see their own character sheet? Weird. It makes more sense if the portrait is generic.. or is there a way to show each player a different tile? Enabling ONE dashboard that is dynamic to the player? Otherwise, to follow this video exactly, I need 9 different dashboard for 9 players, right?

[@CantripsMedia]

Yeah I mentioned in the video that i would put their character art, not Tempers in each one. Lol maybe rewatch the video a little slower. You can pick whatever image you want for the tile. Hence why one's a map and one's a character image. I think i mentioned that and i think the first one I showed off had more than one character portrait. You're not making dashboards for each person, you're making one dashboard that all players can access and they can each get to the same resources (maps, inventory, notes, etc) but also their individual character sheet (through their own character's portraits) Hope that helps!

[@seanpatrickkinney9593]

In the assign token to owner on the right hand side I see the character portraits there, where is the option to show that there?

Do you now if Monk's Active Tiles works on Version 12? I just bought and got into Foundry and was loving this idea but unfortunately seems like nothing happens when clicking on the images.

[@DW1997-]

Also how would one import their own region map into the blank area that is there after taking your map out?

[@CantripsMedia]

Version 12 just came out 5 days ago so most likely it won't work. I won't be updating to version 12 until probably a month or two because all the individual module creators need time to update. You can join the foundry vrt discord to ask about what has been updated or not. I believe though that version 12 had originally planned on having a built in tool that worked like monk's so I don't know if it will still work tbh. As for the region map question, I'm not sure what you're asking there. But the map is usually labeled as the background image in the settings if that's helpful

[@DW1997-]

@@CantripsMedia Okay I appreciate the reply. I went ahead and installed the most recent Version 11 build that was reliable. Seems like everything is working now. As for the region map question, I was referring to the Dash page how you have a poster / spot for the region map there but it's blank as you removed yours, was wondering how I would input my own region map in that spot so it would show up on my Dash as well.

[@CantripsMedia]

You can place it like a tile. You just select the image you want instead of the transparent PNG. The way I have it on the image is that I edited the image itself to contain the map, but you can just place it like a tile and it will still work fine

[@MattS-fo7qs]

Where did you find the transparent.png? I"ve been just turning the tiles invisible but I'd like to be able to also have text available so my players can see it

[@CantripsMedia]

I made it! But I also have it on the KoFi download if you can't make your own. It's free here: ko-fi.com/s/e58f3655a8

[@svenk5221]

It´s not for free anymore. It says you have to upgrade your port limit (30 Dollars/year)

[@CantripsMedia]

I just tried and it worked for me. It's not using an app with a pay subscription so I'm not sure what you've encountered there. Maybe try again?
