Need Help: Custom Status Markers

Greetings, adventurers! I recently picked up Custom Status Markers by&nbsp;Stephen Lindberg (<a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/2370/custom-status-markers" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/2370/custom-status-markers</a>) and I'm having difficulty with it. I gather that this Marketplace item was created back before Roll20 had native support for custom Token Market sets and used a script that is no longer supported. If possible, I'd still like to use these as token markers in my games but I'm not having any luck figuring out how. Near as I can tell, I'd need to download the image files from the set somehow and then re-upload them from my computer via the in-system set-maker... but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the image files or &nbsp;get Roll20 to acknowledge these as markers and not tokens. Any and all advice would be appreciated. It's a nice marker set and I'd like to be able to use my purchase.

First, is your purchase listed in your Token Marker Library (accessed through the Tools section header)?&nbsp; Assuming it is listed there, that listing should also show any games that are using that set.&nbsp; If the game you want to use them in isn't showing, you need to go to the game launch page and add that set to the available token markers in the game (right below the player list). <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Markers" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Markers</a>
@Kraynic: Roll20 shows them as Tokens in my Marketplace Purchases -- they do not come up as Token Markers, so I cannot set them there. That's the crux of the problem. I need to turn Tokens into Token Markers.

The only way to do that is to download the art and upload it as Token Markers.&nbsp; That's the case with many art sets that existed before Custom Token Markers were a thing.

Just to confirm: You are correct that this is an older set that predates token markers: This item is a Token Set and will be available in the Art Library of all your existing or new games. You can file for a refund in the&nbsp; Help Center , or do as the Aaron says, download and upload. Token Markers are optimized to render best when the original is at 512 px (Yeah, I don't know why, either), so you may need to resize. You can find the specs here .

If you need to mass resize, a free program called Easy Thumbnails can do it for you (destructively though). I have no idea why it's 512 pixel pngs, given as they generally show up at very small sizes on tokens often smaller in size than that, but that's how it is. After you download them from the marketplace page, <a href="https://app.roll20.net/marker-library" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/marker-library</a> and then upload them in there, name the set, and then select the set on your game page. Go to the game page (not the tabletop) and on the right hand side there's where you can pick your token marker sets.

I need to turn Tokens into Token Markers. That is too bad.&nbsp; If there is a way to contact the artist, you might want to do that to see if they would be willing to make whatever changes are needed to get their markers set up both ways.&nbsp; I purchased one of the Heroic Icons sets before there were custom markers, and they became accessible in the Token Marker Library a while after that feature was released. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/4752/heroic-icons" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/4752/heroic-icons</a> I assume the artist had to get them set up for dual use though (art library/token marker library).
