    Unsure what you mean by marker assets.. if you mean the markers attributes such as toggles, description and the like, yes they are updated as you make changes.. If you are concerned players are not being updated for some reason you can always force client update by hitting F5 or Broadcast button on the top of your screen...

    Broadcast F5 Refreshes the map display for all clients.

    I'm referring to the graphical changes if I alter the zip.

    If you make changes to the zip file while the player is in the session. They will have to disconnect and reconnect to get the new updated makers. Otherwise, the will get the new markers when the join the game.

    Yeah, I would not suggest modifying one of the Zips while the program is running... has the possibility to cause unexpected problems all the way around...

    I'm aware of altering the archive during the game (as it loads on start). I've so far only used d20pro for an in-house group. I've yet to use it fully networked with my online group so I was just gauging what I should expect.

    As far as assets pushed to players when connecting, I'm assuming the following:
    - Status Markers
    - Map Markers

    Is there more? I was hoping audio would be a push-able asset but that's not the case.

    Hi Ken,

    Great investigating, yes, as you probably are aware by now, Markers and Status images are pushed when the player connects to the Judge/GM exactly how Caraldur stated. (Thanks Caraldur for helping out!).

    If you'd like to poll others to see if marker/status icons/images should also be a push-able asset while players are connected would be a feature request post. :) Sounds being pushed and campaign specific would also be another feature request. :) I'm sure the sound one would have more support.
