scene-packer VS FoundryVTT-relink-images-script

Dependencies: "relationships": { "requires": [ { "id": "scene-packer", "manifest": "https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer/releases/latest/download/module.json", "type": "module", "compatibility": {} } ] },

At the "bad" end of what Foundry is capable of in this department, you get to learn how to do module creation with Scene Packer as a dependency and your DMs have to be very responsible in providing and downloading updates to the compendia in that module as needed.

There's a module called scene packer that allows you to pack and save all your assests as a compendium and export/import into a new world https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer Instructions on how to install and use it are found on the git hub or there's a video by baileywiki that goes through how you can use it https://youtu.be/xV9QA_wPY4Y There's a discord for the module too if you get stuck and people can help you out with troubleshooting

I think Scene Packer has a way to retain journal links when importing from a compendium. You can find more info here: https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer

The module Scene Packer includes functionality to run an Asset Report, which lists any assets that are broken, or outside of a configurable list of modules. It will list all of the ones that are "broken". You can trigger it from the macro that comes bundled with the module.

I've created shared compendia module, which uses scene packer. It retains links between everything, pins on the maps etc. Took me a while to figure it out, but once you go trough tutorial on their page it's really working. https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer

To prevent it happening again, you can use scene packer https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer (i havnt tested it but i understand it works well)

It packs up scenes with all of the tokens and when you unpack it, it brings in all the actors linked. https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/scene-packer

This macro does a search and replace ... https://github.com/jbowensii/FoundryVTT-relink-images-script

I had moved all of my stuff to an S3 share to save space on my server. Which broke all of my links in the game. So I wrote a script for 7.x and after providing a directory and type of item, you get a search and replace box. It replaces anything in the first box with the text from the second. It will basically do what you are asking for in seconds, but I have NOT looked into the changes in 8.x and if you have an 8.x server you will need to get helkp rewriting / updating my script. If you do let me know. you can find it here... https://github.com/jbowensii/FoundryVTT-relink-images-script

So a few weeks ago I asked for some help in the foundry macro-polo forum. I had made a huge mistake and placed all of my image asset files in the world directory. Though they were organized into a neat directory structure it meant I could not ever get rid of the world not share the files with another world. Manually moving the files was not a problem in the OS but relinking 3000+ images would have been a nightmare. I want to thank everyone for the help especially FREEZE! FREEZE went way above and beyond ... anyway I have now created a shared content module and successfully moved and relinked everything. I am happy to get feedback on my script (code review) please. https://github.com/jbowensii/FoundryVTT-relink-images-script.git (Use at your own risk) ... polite feedback and optimization are most welcome. Happy new year and trhank you...
