I'm not sure if this has been asked or answered before, but I didn't see a topic about it, so here goes.

I want to know if it's possible to get images for custom tokens, and if so, how.

I'm trying to get a token for the Ground Collapse card, since no such thing seems to exist. This means I want to add Ground Collapse's image to a custom token.

Well...YVD does have a Token Editor, but unfortunately it doesn't function properly.

You could probably edit the two 'token' files in the YVD Directory by hand in Notepad, but I would back up your copies of those files on your desktop.

Otherwise, no, not really. It'd probably just be easier to use Sticky Notes anyways [Right click the playing field > Sticky Note > Right click Sticky Note > Edit Sticky Note].

I've found the Token Editor DOES work, other than when you add a new token and save the list goes blank the next time you open it... Although I've also found that if you get the updated token set the editor will crash upon opening instead.

In any case, I DO have the tokens and they work well, I was just wondering if there was a way to apply images to them. Seems like there isn't, though.

Oh, there is a folder in '%YVD Directory%/Images/Token' - just put the image in there and name it whatever you named the Token without spaces, but do include special characters like hyphens [also make sure the image is 40x40 pixels and in *.GIF format].
