Scenery
A FoundryVTT module that allows easy import and background image changes for variations such as GM/Player, Night, Seasonal, etc.
To open the scenery config, right click a scene in either the top scene navigation, or the scenes directory in the sidebar, and select "Scenery".
Features
- Assign variations to be easily switched between
- Choose a different background to be shown to Players and GM
- Automatically find and import variations
How to setup variations
When scanning for variations, scenery works as follows:
- Based on the default image of the scene (set in core scene configuration)
- Will only look for variation images in the same directory
- Variation file names must contain the base file name of the default image, minus the extension
- Variation names will have special characters removed and any dashes or underscores converted to spaces
For example, if your default map is maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp.jpg
, Scenery will find the following:
maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp-GM.jpg
maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp2.jpg
maps/forest-camp/2.Forest-Camp.jpg
maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp-alt.png
maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp-Night.webp
Scenery will not consider the following examples to be variations of maps/forest-camp/Forest-Camp.jpg
:
maps/some-other-dir/Forest-Camp-GM.jpg
(is not in same directory)maps/forest-camp/night.jpg
(does not contain base name)maps/forest-camp/forestcamp-night.jpg
(Base name has no exact match in variation name)
