The Lava VTT Uploader plugin enables seamless integration between Obsidian and Lava VTT, a virtual tabletop designed for displaying maps and images on a TV or projector during in-person tabletop gameplay. This plugin allows Dungeon Masters managing campaigns in Obsidian to share maps and other visuals directly from their vault. With a simple right-click on an image, users can display it in their self-hosted Lava VTT instance. The plugin requires configuration of the Lava VTT server address to connect and operate effectively.
Initial release of this plugin. Can display images on Lava VTT. Compatible with v1.0.0 of Lava VTT.
This plugin allows you to display images from your obsidian vault in Lava VTT.
Lava VTT is a virtual tabletop intended for usage in non-virtual play. It is
designed to be used on a TV or projector to display maps and other images to
your players directly at the table.
If your DM manages their campaign in Obsidian, this plugin is ideal for
seamlessly sharing maps and images directly from their campaign notes.
Currently, Lava VTT is not a publicly hosted service and must be self-hosted.
You can find the source code and instructions for setting up Lava VTT at
https://github.com/lavaforge/lava-vtt.
Since Lava VTT is self-hosted, you will need to configure the plugin with the
URL of your Lava VTT instance. You can do this by setting the "Server Address"
in the obsidian settings for this plugin. This should be the full URL of your
Lava VTT instance, including the port, if necessary.
To display an image from your vault in Lava VTT, you can just right-click on the
image in one of your notes and then click "Display in Lava VTT".
