Question...about the randomizer

[jacksands]

Hi, me again, please don't hate me! I've this unlinked token, it has only 1 token image, but because of its name the randomizer seeks others to use. how I made a setting so it is not changed by the randomizer without disabling the randomizer for all unlinked tokens?

also, what is "tokens with represented actor"? I know about linked and unlinked, nut represented is unclear to me... english is not my first language....

sorry to disturb once more, this has become my favorite module! working on a folder with images for Alien RPG for the community to use with your compendium mapper!

Hi,

Represented actor is the following field here:

Regarding your main question, I don't think that there is a set of settings that would allow you to exclude this token. I'll consider adding some sort of way to flag and turn off randomization and pop-ups for specific actors, but for now you could maybe hack a fix if you're not using filters and do this:

and it would exclude the portrait in your screenshot from the token image searches, so randomizer would never choose it. OR if you specifically want that image, then you could try renaming the token to UPPA SOLDIER2_tk

Otherwise you'll need to wait for a module update.

Mind me asking how you intend this Alien RPG folder to be used along with the compendium mapper?

Is the idea to just provide the image folder or also include an Actor compendium together with it? If a compendium is not provided with it and you have a bunch of portrait and token images I think you'd benefit from naming your portraits and tokens in some identifiable way (e.g. UPPA SOLDIER_prt.jpg and UPPA SOLDIER_tk), or splitting them to different folders (e.g. images/tokens/UPPA SOLDIER.jpg, and images/portraits/UPPA SOLDIER.jpg).

If you did it like that then Search Filters could be used to sort portrait and token images:

e.g. 1)

e.g. 2)

Anyways, glad you're enjoying the module 🙂

tks for the tip about the token, never noted/ used the represent actor field... kkk about the alien rpg the oficial modules came with many actors without images or with very ugly ones... since I'm doing a image chance for myself I'm also preparing so it can be used with your mapping tool.. and already make names so it can use the search filters, when done the idea is to share the image repository and the instructions to use your module...

also that will make any update the alien module brings easier to rebuild it with this repository.

I found your module amazing... just for you to know, already saw people using the new tile function with JB2A to quickly change effects!!

As of release 2.7.0 you can now enable/disable randomization and pop-ups for specific tokens. 🙂

Tks! just saw it!
I cannot say how happy I'm with your effort!
