Install TheWitcherTRPG Alpha version

  1. On Foundry VTT's Configuration and Setup screen, go to Game Systems
  2. Click Install System
  3. In the Manifest URL field, paste: https://github.com/ortegamarcel/TheWitcherTRPG/releases/latest/download/system.json
  4. Click Install next to the pasted Manifest URL

You will notice, that the version of the system changed to something like v0.97-alpha.3 and the url to https://github.com/ortegamarcel/TheWitcherTRPG. The update button will now only check for new versions in this repostitory/url and not in the original one.

Replace original with development version

Here is an installation guide on how to use this "development" version of The Witcher TRPG system by replacing the original version.

  1. If you have the original version installed, you need to delete it. <root*>/systems/TheWitcherTRPG. Otherwise you can skip this step.
    • Alternatively, you can also rename it (that will show an error when you start foundry), which means this version won't work anymore or
    • Ctrl-x + Ctrl-v to move it to a different location outside your foundry-folder*, so you have a backup if something goes wrong.
  2. Download the ZIP-file of the development version
  3. Unpack it into <foundry-folder*>/systems.

Rollback to Original Version

To roll back to the original version you need to uninstall this and re-install the original one. Simply search for "TheWitcherTRPG" and click install.

Don't worry, it shouldn't have any effects on your worlds, since they are technically linked by a "system-ID", and both, this and the original version, have the same ID "TheWitcherTRPG". But if you want, you can move the systems/TheWitcherTRPG folder to another location before following the steps on top. So that you have a backup copy of the original system.
