Youtube 10 Tips and Tricks not working

April 10 (4 years ago)

This guy has some great advice, but I'm finding several of his suggestions don't work, or my pages look different. 

https://youtu.be/sjbgkCDCW88?t=1


In particular, my NPC sheets don't have the option to Show Player. I also can't double click on the title bar and reduce it. Nothing happens. And lastly, he has that cool macro to show an image link, but when I push the macro button it only shows the code in the chat box, not the image.


Any suggestions?

Are your npc sheets popped out in their own window?  I know they have to still be part of the VTT to minimize in double click.  The "show to players" may require that as well.   For that last question, you might want to post the image link and the code you used so that people can spot any problems.

Here is the orc pop screenshot.  i don't see an option to Show Players

This is the image code macro, it just pastes the url I copied from the picture, as he said to do

I am a newbie to all this so still learning, so I'm probably doing something wrong

Yes, you have it popped out in its own window, so it isn't embedded in the VTT anymore.  There is a setting for automatically popping character sheets out in a separate window.  If you have that option turned on, be aware that some things don't work when popped out like that (compendium drag/drop and charactermancer being prominent examples).

It looks like you need to close the image tag. Add a ")" after the ".png"

Where is that setting to toggle?  What i have been doing is popping out NPC sheets and dragging them to a second monitor and leaving the big map monitor clear of clutter

It is one of the options in the settings tab (the cog) in the right pane of your screen.

That would also explain why the double click on the header wasn't minimizing.

I have a token selected, and I Shift double click to open the NPC sheet so I can see it's statblock

Oh, I see!  So I can now see Show Players.  And I can minimize it now too

What about that macro code to show an image in the chat box?

April 10 (4 years ago)

So I copy the image url and paste it into the macro like this


April 10 (4 years ago)


oh Keith I missed your response, I will try to add the tag

April 10 (4 years ago)

This is the url I copy in

Also, since you are a Pro user, here is an excellent little script you might make good use of. It posts the Character art in the bio of a selected token/character to chat.

CharPic

Hmm. I tried to install a few of those but I couldn't get them to work.

If you have never installed an API script, here is a handy video:
How to Install Roll20 API Scripts


If you are familiar with API scripts, what seems to be the issue with getting these to work?

April 10 (4 years ago)

I'm vaguely familiar with API, I did it last week for the first time. 

April 10 (4 years ago)

Oh, I was pasting the code into a new macro command.  I really don't know what i'm doing lol.  But i'm learning

April 11 (4 years ago)

Well I installed a new API script from the one Aaron posted but I didn't notice anything different, so I must have done something wrong (again).
