Fixing missing monster tokens in Kobold Press products?

Running a midgard campaign and unfortunately KP only has tokens for about half of the monsters. is there any way to update a token for a character sheet and have it pushed out to existing tokens on maps? Basically I have to redo nearly all of the encounters as it stands which is a big hassle and which really defeats the point of buying their content

My guess is that this is due to copyright protection.  If these are monsters from the SRD, I think the stats are fair game for use, but the artwork isn't.  So they either need to commission artwork to be done, or just leave it to you to add your own.

If you delete the creature from the game and add it in again from another source, then it should come in with the token from that source. You should also be able to just rename the creature from the game and add again if you want to be careful.

You can save yourself some time as a pro user by using token mod. This command will change every placed token to a targetted new image: !token-mod --set imgsrc|@{target|token_id} --ids @{selected|character_id} You will need to get the new token image onto the VTT, of course, and a temporary re-name can do that. (ChatSetAttr would be the tool for this, if you wanted to automate) Once you have updated all images, select a corrected token and run !token-mod --set defaulttoken Since this has potential for global changes to the game, I would suggest testing on a duplicated game.

Thank you to the three of you! Basilisk was one of the copywrighted tokens.  As you indicated if I delete the one in the "module" then I can successfully copy the monster from the compendium (from the purchased monster manual) onto the map with no problem. I'll check out Keith's suggestion on Token Mod - I've just figured out Combat Master and a few other goodies so this will be a good extension of my novice scripting chops ;)

Just a minor note, the API (like TokenMod) can only set images if the image is in a User Library.  If you have marketplace images you want to use, you'll have to download them and upload them so they are in your library in order to be able to set them on tokens with the API.

Thank you very much!  The Aaron said: Just a minor note, the API (like TokenMod) can only set images if the image is in a User Library.  If you have marketplace images you want to use, you'll have to download them and upload them so they are in your library in order to be able to set them on tokens with the API.
