Using the maps in the official Adventures for other Rule Sets

[Springroll]

Hi,

I was just wondering if it's possible to use the maps that comes with the official WoTC Adventures and use them in other rule sets in Fantasy Grounds?
If I play a 5e game I can just open the module and access the maps but if I would like to access them in a Castle & Crusades game I do not see the Adventure modules (as they're a different rule set).
I've tried exporting them to a new module but that only moves the maps I've created myself.

edit: sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it on the forums

Short answer is no, since the modules are protected so you can't open them up in anything other than a 5e campaign.

Ok, it's not a big issue but the maps are really nice and it would be fun to be able to extract them, but as long as I play 5e I can reuse them there.

You only thing you can do is take screenshots/grabs with something like Windows Snipping Tool and then load those images into your FG campaign for the different ruleset.

Great suggestion! I'll go that route.
I've just bought CC3+ and DD3 but right now I don't even know where to begin so I'm getting my hands on all the maps that I can :)

You can also buy most of them from original artist.

Is that Mike Schley?

Most are from Mike, yes. Some are from Jared Blando, just depends on which maps you're looking for.

Note, since this thread was started 8 years ago things have changed. You can now do this with the Universal Module Extension. Though I still like supporting the artists directly by buying their high resolution maps directly from them.

The Universal Module extension is helpful, but I have found scaling problems with the maps. I was running a 5e conversion of the the AD&D Desert of Desolation, so I bought the original module in FG and copied the maps into my 5e campaign. Every medium token placed on the map appeared as large - possibly because the default square size in 1e/2e is 10 ft, and the default in 5e is 5 ft. But even when I changed the grid size to represent 5 ft squares, the problem persisted.

The token sizing is calculated (in terms of number of grid squares) when first added to the map. After you changed the grid size did you remove the tokens from the map and re-place them from the combat tracker? If that didn't work, please provide more details of the steps taken.

Honestly, I don't remember. This happened a couple of years ago when covid was forcing us to play online - as soon as we could, we returned to face to face gaming for that campaign. I play plenty of other games in FG, so I can test it and see if that makes a difference,
