Status Marker Icons in text chat

Hello every one, I wanted to make a table that explains which status icons mean what, then I want to put the chart in a roll20 handout. Is there a way to do that by default? If not supported directly, how about with markdown? I looked for publicly searchable images of the roll20 status marker icons. I could use the url's of those images with markdown, but nothing useful came up. I was wondering if some one already did this somewhere (which would be useful). If not, I was thinking about using the printscrean key and some photoshop skills to create them, and then post them somewhere myself (probably in this forum), but I'm not sure if it violates the roll20 terms of service or not.

Different symbols may be used for different reasons by different people for different games. So it's really individual. I think someone around here has a list of what they all look like. For my D&D 5e game I made a chart for myself using images of the different conditions. I added this to a handout with links to the descriptions for each of the conditions. I forget all the time and have to look it up, and sometimes use the web symbol for restrained, especially for the web spell. As long as everyone understands the intent of the symbol it's not a problem.

I can get you images of the individual icons later today. I'm on my phone now, but I have them split out on my laptop.

I really like your chart Ed S. Unfortunately, I'm not using it for d&d. Actually, it's a pretty weird homebrew system I'm making for a modern or scifi game. For example, I want to match the machinegun status marker to a unit that's carrying a machinegun. I also plan on using the 3 crossed swords to reprisent a rocket launcher. A lot of them really don't fit very well, but as long as my chart explains it all it will be fine. Having custom status markers would be fantastic! I suspect that, if roll20 supports custom status markers, they're for paid roll20 accounts only though. The Aaron: that would be wonderful thanks!

They don't support custom status markers currently.

Most if not all of the icons appear to originate from <a href="http://game-icons.net/" rel="nofollow">http://game-icons.net/</a>

Brian: wow, those icons are really great! It makes me wish they could be used as status markers even more! They'll help me get started too!

You can get the names of the icons Roll20 uses in the API documentation at ( <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Tok" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Tok</a>... ): The full list of status markers that are available (in the same order they appear in the marker tray): "red", "blue", "green", "brown", "purple", "pink", "yellow", "dead", "skull", "sleepy", "half-heart", "half-haze", "interdiction", "snail", "lightning-helix", "spanner", "chained-heart", "chemical-bolt", "death-zone", "drink-me", "edge-crack", "ninja-mask", "stopwatch", "fishing-net", "overdrive", "strong", "fist", "padlock", "three-leaves", "fluffy-wing", "pummeled", "tread", "arrowed", "aura", "back-pain", "black-flag", "bleeding-eye", "bolt-shield", "broken-heart", "cobweb", "broken-shield", "flying-flag", "radioactive", "trophy", "broken-skull", "frozen-orb", "rolling-bomb", "white-tower", "grab", "screaming", "grenade", "sentry-gun", "all-for-one", "angel-outfit", "archery-target"

looks like, even if I go to game-icons.net, I'll be posting them somewhere so that I can get a URL and use it. Does any one know if the Terms of Service for roll20 would prevent that?

They would not for personal use. The terms provided on game-icons.net should be consulted for any public use.

Manveti: I actually did run into that article, but I'm not a paid account. I don't have access to roll20's scripting functions. Thank you though. I appreciate the interest. Also, that's just for scripts for turning the icons on and off right? Does that allow you to insert the icon in to a roll20 table, or regular chat?

The Aaron: ah, so it would only be a problem if game-icons.net's license was messed with. That's good then, they're using Creative Commons license, so I should be able to post them. Thanks a bunch!

Yup!

I just posted that because the names are the same in Roll20 and on game-icons.net, so you could search by name rather than having to manually dig through all their icons looking for matches.

So with Manveti's info and game-icons.net, I'm guessing you no longer need me to send you the low-res versions?

nope, I've got it all sorted out. Thanks!
