How to add DMSGuild "OPtimized for Roll20" Content to existing game?

February 20 (2 years ago)

Like the title says I bought "Optimized for Roll20" maps on DMSguild but cannot find how to add any of these maps to my existing game.  

I am a Plus member  with about 2.8 GB Free space left.  

I have eight games set up but only two are active.

The content was a map pack,

I can create a new game with the content enabled.

The game I want to add it to was started from a DND module I own on Roll20.  

Any advice would be helpful.

Hi John!

It would be helpful if you posted a link to the specific content. Items can be added in many ways:

Modules are used as the basis for creating a game

Addons can be added to existing games

Compendium sources are available in all games that use that system's compendium

Art packs are available at all times in any game


"Map Pack" could be an art asset, available in your Art Library, or it could be an Addon, in which case, most typically means they will be in the page tab of any game you have added them too, usually with dynamic lighting if appropriate.

This, which i bought today at DMsGuild, "Optimized for Roll20": 

https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/21805/tessa-presents-60-campaign-maps-vol-i

I wish to include these maps in an already existing game I created several months ago. 

As for an art asset I have checked every which way i can to see it in there.  Including premium assets from the Marketplace.  Nope.

the maps are not in any page tab of that game.

It is an Addon. You add it to any existing campaign through your Campaign Details page:




Once the addon process is finished (it may take a couple of seconds), open your game and you will find all of the maps in the Page Menu of your game, presumably all set up and ready for dynamic light:

Alternatively, if you go to the marketplace page you linked, there's a button to create game with this addon. Press that and you can skip the steps above. The game will already be populated with the addon.

Alright!  The Addon trick did it.  For some reason that option didn't immediately jump out at me when I tried earlier, but that did it.  I did do the whole create game thing; but with an active campaign going on, that wasn't an option.

Thank you, Keith!
