Why is the token image not showing?

If the token image isn't displaying, there could be several possible reasons. Here are some common causes and solutions:

1. Incorrect Image Path or URL

• 

  If you're using a custom token image, ensure the path or URL is correct.

• Check for typos or broken links (e.g., if hosted online, test the URL in a browser).

2. File Format or Size Issues

• Supported formats: .png, .jpg, .svg, or .webp.

• If the file is too large, try compressing it (e.g., using TinyPNG).

3. Permissions (For Online Hosting)

• If the image is hosted online, ensure the server allows external access (no hotlink protection or CORS restrictions).

4. VTT or Game System Compatibility

• Some virtual tabletop (VTT) platforms (like Foundry VTT or Roll20) may have specific requirements for token images.

• Check if the image meets the system's guidelines (e.g., dimensions, transparency).

5. Cache Issues

• Clear your browser or VTT cache and reload.

• In Foundry VTT: Try holding Shift while reloading to force a hard refresh.

6. Token Configuration Error

• Ensure the token is properly linked to an actor (if required).

• Double-check the token settings (e.g., "Use actor image" vs. "Override image").

7. Module or System Conflict (For VTTs)

• Disable modules/extensions one by one to check for conflicts.

• Update your game system and modules to the latest versions.

8. Corrupted Image File

• Try opening the image in another program to verify it’s not corrupted.

• Re-export or re-upload the image.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Test the image in another application (e.g., browser or image viewer).

2. Try a different image to isolate the issue.

3. Check console errors (F12 in most browsers) for failed requests or CORS errors.

4. Consult documentation for your specific VTT/platform.
