Unlock your Compendia!

Remember that you need to unlock your compendia to be able to add things to them.

Default Setup

This module comes with 8 Default compendia:

• Actors (shared) (Actor)
• Items (shared) (Item)
• Skills (shared) (Item)
• Journal Entries (shared) (JournalEntry)
• Macros (shared) (Macro)
• Playlists (shared) (Playlist)
• Roll Tables (shared) (RollTable)
• Scenes (shared) (Scene)

Customize

To change the default setup, edit the module.json file. All compendia are defined within the "packs" attribute beginning with line 18.

For example:

{
  "packs": [
    {
      "name": "monsters",
      "system": "CoC7",
      "label": "Monsters",
      "path": "./packs/monsters.db",
      "type": "Actor",
      "private": false,
      "flags": {}
    },
    {
      "name": "my-custom-items",
      "system": "CoC7",
      "label": "My Custom Items",
      "path": "./packs/items.db",
      "type": "Item",
      "private": false,
      "flags": {}
    }
  ]
}

Note: There are no compendium Types for Classes, Feats, and Features in Foundry, so the Item type is generally used for these.

Dependencies

• CoC7 Game System is required: The Game System adds some SRD Compendia.
• Using Compendium Folders is highly recommended.
