Character Setup

Every actor that appears on the VN stage needs a portrait configuration. This page covers how to set standing images, create expression groups, configure lip sync, and link interaction journals.

How to Access

Open any Actor Sheet and click the VN Portrait Config button in the header bar (smile icon). The configuration window opens at 780x720 and is resizable.

VN Standing Image

The standing image is the full-body character art displayed on the VN stage. By default, the module uses the actor's token/portrait image.

  1. In the Portrait Config, click the Pick Standing button under the preview area.
  2. Select an image from the File Picker.
  3. The preview updates immediately. Click Reset to revert to the actor's default image.

The Scale slider (below the standing image) adjusts the character's size on stage. Range is 0.30x to 3.00x, default 1.00x.

Expression Groups

Expression groups let you organize character expressions by outfit, mood set, or form. Each group has its own standing image, scale, and set of expression images.

A default group is created automatically when you first open the config. To add more groups:

  1. Click Add Group at the bottom of the expressions section.
  2. A new group appears with the label "New Group".
  3. Double-click the group label to rename it (e.g., "Casual Outfit", "Battle Armor").

Group Settings

Each group contains:

Setting Description
Label Display name for the group (double-click to rename)
Standing Image A group-specific standing image that overrides the main one when this group is active
Scale A group-specific scale override (0.30x to 3.00x)
Expressions A list of expression images with labels
