Installing Modules

Step 1A: Installation - Forge VTT

To install a custom module with a manifest link:

Go to Forge Bazaar --> Select "Install From Manifest" on the left sidebar

Copy the manifest link and paste it into the manifest link field. (Keep the "Install from the Bazaar if the package is found" toggle on)

Click "Install module".

Step 1B: Installation - Self-Hosted

Install using a manifest link: 

Launch Foundry VTT

Select "Add-on Modules" tab

Click "Install Module"

Copy & paste the manifest link here to "Manifest URL" and click "Install" 

Install using a zip file:

Download the zip package and unzip its contents

Move the folder main folder (usually in the format "miskasmaps-[module-name]" to the "modules" folder under the "Data" folder.

Step 2: Activating Modules

Launch Foundry VTT

Start and join a game on the "Game Worlds" tab

In the right sidebar, open the "Game Settings" tab and click "Manage Modules".

Search for the modules you wish to activate (usually, searching "miska" or "MM" will do the trick)

Check the box to activate the module. If a module dependency pop-up opens, click "Yes" to install any other required modules.

Step 3: Import Content

Go to the "Compendium Packs" tab in the right sidebar (next to Game Settings).

Look for the compendium with the scenes or other content and import the scenes, journals, playlists, etc., you need OR right-click the compendium in the list and select "Import All Content" to import all included content into a new folder. (Check the "Keep Document IDs?" box just in case there are references to this scene in the journals or other objects)

Now you should have all the needed content imported into your world under the relevant tabs (scenes under the Scenes tab, sounds under the Playlists tab, etc.)
