Can't use Adventure I got from Adventureaweek.com

[doseyclwn]

Okay, I got A00 from Adventureaweek.com, but I can't figure out how to load it in Fantasy Grounds. It's probably really simple and I'm missing something obvious, but what do I do?

Make sure that you entered your FG web site credentials in the FG Settings (if purchased from FG store) or select the Check Steam for updates option in the FG settings (if purchased though Steam). Then, run an update.

Once you have updated, you should be able to access the module by starting a new campaign (for the ruleset that the module is built for), then open the Library from the right hand bar, click the Modules button, double-click the cover for the module, then the data will be available via an extra tab at the bottom of each campaign list. (Story, NPC, item, etc)

Other modules may also have links directly in the library, but I believe the AAW products only go to the campaign list tabs.

I have the same module, which I acquired directly from Adventureaweek.com, as opposed to buying it from Fantasy Grounds or from Steam. If you acquired it the same way, then you need to unzip the file, which should reveal a file with a .mod extension. Copy and paste this file into the following location:

{FANTASYGROUNDS}\ProgramData\modules

Where {FANTASYGROUNDS} is the location you have the software installed on your machine, for instance if it's installed at C:\Program Files\Fantasy Grounds, then you'll find the modules directory here:

C:\Program Files\Fantasy Grounds\ProgramData\modules

So put the unzipped .mod file you downloaded from Adventureaweek.com into that directory and then after you've done that you should be able to load it in the way that Moon Wizard described.

The Fantasy Grounds data directory is not in C:\Program Files (unless it was manually changed by the user) - the base application installation directory is usually here, but this is not the same as where the FG data files are stored.

The best way to get to your FG Data directory is to launch Fantasy Grounds and click the folder icon in the top right. This will open a file explorer window and you'll see directories such as extensions, modules, rulesets, etc.. If you need to manually install a Fantasy Grounds module, copy the .mod file to the \modules directory found in this FG Data directory.
