Phantom Light Emitters

I have made one post about this already on a completely separate module - And it has happened again with this one. In the Dragonlance module, the Kalaman Catacombs map has light emitting from a token that doesn't exist - there is no token on the token, map or dynamic lighting layer, but somehow light is still being displayed. And here it is again on the Golden Vault one shots - For some reason, there is an invisible light emitter that cannot be deleted and causes permanent bright light to be displayed. This is very aggravating as it means I have to copy the map and redo the lighting myself. Can we please stop with these invisible light markers and just let us determine if we want bright light or not? Having to redo the lighting on PAID content from the marketplace is starting to get tiresome. <a href="https://imgur.com/a/VgcT7nv" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/VgcT7nv</a>

Confirmed, this is probably a phantom token issue, maybe the creator used a dummy light source and then failed to delete it. Then deleted the associated image, so now it cannot be removed normally.&nbsp; I can fix this for you if you'd like to send me an invite.&nbsp;

Could you supply the product link for the "Golden Vault" one shots? And the page that the bug is on?&nbsp; Edit: actually, can you supply the product links for any product you have seen this happen on? And the page name for each?&nbsp;
IIRC there were times where the map image itself was the source of the light - might want to move it to the object layer temporarily and see if the map is giving off light. -Adam

Keys from the Golden Vault has these light emitters on it (I've only seen them on Varkenbluff Museum of Natural History so far, I have not looked through all of them yet!) (I hope this is what you meant by product link!&nbsp; <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/bundle/21329/keys-from-the-golden-vault" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/bundle/21329/keys-from-the-golden-vault</a>) And Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen also has them on nearly all of their maps (Probably the same situation as Golden Vault) <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/bundle/18256/dragonlance-shadow-of-the-dragon-queen" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/bundle/18256/dragonlance-shadow-of-the-dragon-queen</a>

Hey y'all, just a quick update here. I heard back from our dev team about the issue this morning and rather than paraphrase I'll just pass along their words verbatim. Just as a heads up the phantom lights on raided catacombs should be fixed in all newly created campaigns. In existing campaigns all but two of the lights were able to be restored Thanks for bringing this to our attention. There's another fix on the way that should prevent this from happening in future releases.
