I'm not clear on whether your image link in the story entry is the problem or the image in the reference manual is the problem.
For images to properly get added to the reference manual they need to be completely free of any bold text and each link must be on it's own. By that I mean you can't have Link: My Image nor can you have two links one after the other.
If you mean the links in your story entries don't work then that suggests that you aren't linking them from the images list inside your campaign. So as you hint at above (I think) you need to import the images into your campaign (by whichever method you prefer) and then drag the link icon from the images list (not assets) and drop it into your story entry.
Edit: Also you do need to export the images as well as anything else you want in your module. If you don't export the images then they well won't get exported and any links will be broken.If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Are you by any chance trying to load the exported module in the campaign you're building it in? If so, create a clean campaign and use that for loading the exported module. I was caught out with similar issues when I started using Author. Click Reference and Images when exporting.

Many thanks everyone, for all the replies.
OK cool, yes that was indeed the problem. I didn't have to create a clean campaign though, I just needed to start a 2nd instance of FGU and join my Ultimate Host. Viewing the Library reference as a pseudo-player from that 2nd instance, all of the images display correctly.
In answer to some of the other questions, the images have always displayed correctly from the link in my stories and yes I've been careful not to have anything but plain vanilla formatting on those link entries. For my latest export I did include the images, and they are in that pseudo-players Images listing.
Yes, that's exactly what I've been doing for all of my images. I thought I was being clear in my post when I stated this:
"For the images I'm linking, I previously copied the graphic file for each to my \campaignname\Images folder and created an image record for them via Assets > Images."
But I guess my writing wasn't as explanatory there as I hoped it was.

No, without using a markup language that would clutter up the story entries it's not possible.
The new Author will import the story entries into Builder and there you can do all of the fancy work (once you've got all your story entries done). You'll have to use the Test channel to see how it works or wait until the new Core release comes out in a week or two.---

I'm building out the Keeper reference for the Call of Cthulhu adventure Highway Of Blood using the current dev version. It works beautifully and as you can see I've got image side by side with text.Last edited by sedgetone; November 26th, 2021 at 18:05.
