Uploading Documents & Linking Creature Stats

Edited 1597028865
Within the official Marketplace Modules the adventure Plot is provided as web content (web like content) which one can open and read while GMing. This content even has links to character sheets for the various creatures that are encountered. How is this done? I would like to do this for my own modules. 1. Is this just a handout with all of the content in the GM View section? 2. How do I create links within such content to character sheets (for enemies)? 3. How can I get the URL of uploaded images so that I can reference them?

1. Yes, usually 2. Just place the name of any handout or character in square brackets in the text of your handout. It will convert to a link upon saving. Note, the spelling must be exact, and this does not work in tables. Example: "Sir Wigglesworth is a [Goblin]". Provided you hav a goblin in your journals already, it will become a clickable link to the sheet. 3. Right click on an image to copy the URL. If the image is one on the VTT, click it and press "Z" for the preview. You can get the URL from the method described.

Righting clicking images either on the screen or in the uploaded contents gives a right content menu which does not seem to have an option to get the URL. However, your second method (of pressing Z) seems to have worked. The link now works  but it is somewhat cumbersome because you need to click the link, then confirm external (even though it was uploaded to Roll20) and then finally you get the image in a new window (regardless if the new windows checkbox was selected or not). Is there any way to include the image directly instead of providing a link to the image? Basically I would like to end up with a Handout whose GM View contains the image of the character stats directly, if possible.

It can be done easily on Pro with Stephen S' Markdown script. In fact you can completely style the handout. To simply get an image in the handout body at any subscription level, you can just copy and paste an image. I believe the image has to already be online (i.e. not copied from an image editor), but I haven't tested in a while. I did just test with an image copied from the forums, though, and it worked fine.
Thanks. I tried copy and pasting the image and it appeared but was stripped out after save. However, I will try again using an image that was already uploaded. Thanks.
