Edit: This issue has been largely resolved.

I stand by what I said, this map is wonderful. Getting it to import was a pain in the ass. I had to create a scene with a background image, then import the json into a separate scene, which wouldn't load properly but at least populated the walls, copy all walls, and then paste them back into the scene with background image and make adjustments to have everything line up.

The whole reason I supported the creator was to get access to the FVTT json and save myself the time of doing all the walls/lighting myself. I probably spent more time figuring out how to get the walls imported that than it would have taken me to just support the creator for the base background image and do the walls and lighting myself.

Again, the map is beautiful. I don't suggest shelling out for the FVTT files as they don't seem to be updated for 8.8 and won't save you time.

Hey! Sorry I was sick during the weekend so I'm replying just now (Monday morning for me).

I'm sorry to hear that you've had problems importing the files... It seems that something broke during the update for the 8.x version of Foundry. I'll investigate it and come back to you...

Thanks for letting me know!

Hello! I exported the maps again from Foundry version 8.8 and it should be compatible now.

If you're using The Forge and don't have access to the your data dir, you can upload the webp files using the Tile Browser. Navigate  to data/modules, create the folders (1.) like the tutorial says (2.) and upload the images (3.):

EDIT: Looks like The Forge doesn't let you create folders. If you're having this issue, see the reply bellow.


I know that you already have the files set up by now, but if you have trouble doing it using the steps above let me know.

Thanks for your support and sorry for the trouble.

edit: I'll do the same for the other maps that have foundry files next.

The screenshot you shared is what the tile browser looks like when running the local Foundry application. The above screenshot is what the tile browser looks like while using the Forge. Using the tile browser to create a folder in the modules directory doesn't work in the Forge as the create folder button doesn't exist there.

The updated json files do now function correctly but the background images still have to be manually uploaded to the assets library and manually set in scene configuration. Not hard to do. Thank you for addressing the json file issue and updating it to 8.8.

I was actually running through Amazon Web Services, not locally. But it sucks that The Forge doesn't let you create folders... I'm glad that you can at least upload them and set the dir manually.

There's actually a quick fix for this! If you go into Forge and get the relative path for the image, you can then go into the JSON files and update the path from '/modules/franzwarm/...' to whatever you have (e.g. 'worlds/ghosts-saltmarsh/...'). It took 1 minute after uploading my assets and worked like a charm.
