I am having problems doing everything I would like to do with FG. The 4th ed. ruleset is not unpacking correctly. I am using XP. I unpack it and it goes into the folder but it does not function.

I am also having problems importing any images into FG. The folders that are described in the User Guide do not exist... or I am unable to find them.

Help and make it simple... please.

Rulesets and images all go in the FG Application data folder. (you can reach it from the FG program group in the start menu)

The 4e ruleset you have to unpack to a separate folder inside the "rulesets" (lower case and plural) folder. If the rulesets folder is not there, just create one. For XP it would be located in "C:\Users and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Fantasy Grounds II\rulesets"

Images go into the images folder inside the campaign of your choosing after you have created a campaign. Example: "C:\...\Fantasy Grounds II\campaigns\Red Hand of Doom\images" for my current campaign. You can have subfolders here, but they will all be shown uncategorized when you open the images tab inside FG.

I'm sure others can explain more in detail, but this is the basics of it.
Also, just in case. You have the Full version right?

Also if you don't have the full verson of FG then you don't need the ruleset. The light version gets the 4E ruleset from the server when it first connects.

The bigest problem people have with rulesets is they either have the files in the rulesets folder either too deep or too shallow by a folder.

You want: FG application data folder -> rulesets -> 4E_JPG

In the 4E_JPG you want to see the fonts, frames, icons, scripts, tokens folders and about 60 xml files. Some people don't unzip the download so they don't have to proper folder structure in the ruleset folder either. If you did this you won't see the fonts, ect folders and you have a lot more than 60ish files.
