FoundryVTT App

Search our module inside Foundry and install it. Keyword : JB2A
Activate our module from your World as you would do any other module and that’s it !

Each time the module is updated, hop back to the module tab and press the update button.

You will have to use the manifest link or install it manually by downloading the Zip file and replacing the files in your data folder.

See more in-depth instructions below or on the Patreon Master Post.

Hosting Services

The Forge

Free module

You can find our free module inside the Bazaar. Any updates will be available to download from there as well.

Patreon/Premium Module

You shouldn’t use the manifest link on The Forge.
Follow these instructions on The Forge’s official website.

This is the best way to install our module because not only will you get updates automatically, like any other module. This way will not count against your data quota

Don’t forget to activate our module from your World as you would do any other module.

In FoundryVTT, when using the file picker, our assets will be in “The Bazaar” tab.

In-depth Guides

With Manifest link

These steps are also explained on our Patreon Master Post.

This will let you install the totality of our animated assets.

Steps to follow :
1. Copy the manifest link from the Master Post in Patreon.
2. Open FoundryVTT and navigate to the Add-on/Modules tab
3. Click on “Install module”
4. Wait for the list of modules to load then paste the link into the Manifest URL box at the bottom. Or it will erase the link once loaded and generate an error when clicking on the Install button.
5. You’ll see a download/progress bar at the bottom.
6. This will take a while since our module is quite large!
7. When this is finished, the module is ready to be activated in your world.

Manual Installation

This is useful if, for some reason, you can’t install our module with our manifest link.

Or if you have a back-up of our content and want to use it on a self-hosted server after cancelling your pledge from Patreon for example.

Only the new stuff

These steps are also explained on our Patreon Master Post.

Important: You can’t update our Patreon module via FoundryVTT. It is only possible with the Free version.

If you want to update our module from one version to another:

For our module, since it’s so large, we offer what we call a differential called Only new stuff on our Patreon Master post.

It contains only the new assets from the latest release, none of the previous releases.

So let’s say you have the Kiri version (v0.4.1).

You can go ahead and download the Only new stuff Zip file called Laudna version (v0.4.2).
Once downloaded, you can extract it and have a look what’s inside. It should contain a Library folder, a scripts folder and a module.json file.
Now go to your FoundryVTT Data/modules folder and find the folder named jb2a_patreon
Double-click on it. This folder should look very similar to what’s in the Zip file you’ve just downloaded.
You can now drag the content of the Only new stuff in the jb2a_patreon folder and overwrite. It’s important as you need the new module.json and various script files and we might have fixed a webm asset that would be replaced with the new correct one.
That’s it, you’re done. Restart your Foundry server (always needed when you change a module.json file) and check your list of installed modules. The new version should be here!
Note : Repeat the process with v0.4.3, v0.4.4, etc… Until you are up-to-date.

Tip : You can right-click the FoundryVTT icon in your task bar and open the Data folder from there.

Note :

Tiles, tokens, templates and macros not using the Sequencer database existing from the free modules will break after uninstalling it. You can fix the links yourself by replacing : JB2A_DnD5e with jb2a_patreon in the path.

We have developed a few macros to fix these broken paths in bulk. Ask us on the #question channel in our Discord server, we’ll gladly guide you through this process.

Be advised We strongly recommend for you to back up your world data before using these kind of "bulk-replace" macros !
