For those of you like myself who bought and downloaded FG2 recently which includes 'A Tale of Dinor' campaign for 3.5E that doesn't work...
(Or to put it another way, if you installed a recent version of FG2, then selected Load Campaign, then selected A Tale of Dinor, then noticed after loading that there were no story elements, no personalities, no items, just some images...)
I discovered that the campaign.xml and db.xml file formats were out of date. The XML tags are quite different than the recent 3.5E XML format.
So I updated the campaign.xml and db.xml files and A Tale of Dinor now works in 3.5E ruleset. (Since the campaign is freely available via the Downloads section of this website I figured it was OK to link these new files here without violating any rules)...
To install this fix, unzip Dinor.zip in your 'C:\Document and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Fantasy Ground II\campaigns\A Tale of Dinor' folder.
