I'm super happy that more SW

R adventures & settings are available, thank you to all those who made it happen!

What I'm surprised at and did not like one bit is that there is no ".exe" or install pack, but rather it relies on an active Internet connection to download & install. I live in a remote part of the world & do not always have Internet access; sadly, the electricity is so poor that many electronics (computers included) get fried, even when protected, so I end up repairing or buying a new system way too often.

So, with that being said, is there anything I can copy (e.g., the 'extensions' or 'modules' folders) to my backup drive when I have to reinstall?

* I know I'm probably like 1 in 1,000,000 who has this issue...

Hi sak,

Sorry to hear about your situation.

The following is a list of folders you can copy off somewhere and then copy back so as to not have to do a re-install of everything - mind you, don't try to run these off a cloud service or such like - you can store them, but not run them on a remote hdd.

From the Fantasy Ground Folder: campaigns, docs, extensions, modules,portraits, rulesets, utilities - actually, thinking about it, its the same list as the one I give in an early one of Tutorial Videos (see my sig, below)

Hope that helps

Cheers

I'd just back up the whole FG App Data directory. Get to this by pressing the folder button in the top right corner of the main FG launch screen. This will cover you for the list dulux gave you, plus any characters created locally and any token folders you've created.

Awesome, thank you both; I run Linux, normally - but am planning to run Windows for another game *shudder*. I appreciate the help

You can use the Wine Wrapper / Wine Skin install instructions on Linux. They work. Then the above backup paths are still valid - but just buried a bit deeper into the folder structure...

Yep, the whole application data folder should cover you pretty well.
