View Full Version : Monster Manual gone from Module list- I think

So, been using FG for-like-ever to play D&D 5e online- here's the campaign blog sorta- https://the-european-union-d-d-5th-edition-campaign.obsidianportal.com/

Last session went to other tab on Monster to show guys picture of the critter- message pops up in chat that cannot access module, game on so thought nothing about it and carried on with the action.

Just prepping for tonight's session and noticed same error again- on investigation when I go into modules (in FG) I have no Monster Manual module there- which is odd because I bought the MM and have been using it for my bad guys since I started. Just a note I have however created my own SuperMonsters module from some of the guys in the MM (but the SuperMonsters are all built on the monsters from the official FG MM module).

So, can't find my Monster Manual module (the one I bought).

I don't know where on my PC (or elsewhere) all the modules I have bought are kept so not sure where to look- I am not at all computer literate (I don't own, and have never used, a mobile phone- start there).

Help!

Pretty please.

Is it just the MM or do you own other 5e products like the PHB which is working?

Additionally did you buy it via Steam?

My first thought is that you haven't synched your Steam and Smiteworks accounts by going into settings and clicking on 'manage', follow the onscreen instructions to link up your accounts and then do an update of FG. The FG modules are kept in the 'vault' folder in your FG data directory (User/Appdata/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds by default). You should see a file called WOTC5EMMDELUXE.dat if you have it installed ok.

Follow the steps here, even if your information is already in the settings screen: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?39393-Purchased-Modules-not-loading-or-showing-up-in-Library&p=347847&viewfull=1#post347847 For step 8 you'll be looking for the Monster Manual product code which is WOTC5EMMDELUXE

If you purchased from Steam, you'll need to click the "Link Steam Purchases" button between steps 5 and 6.

Superb- followed this and Monster Manual added, gawd knows how I managed to delete it out previously, it's one of my many talents.

Thanks all for the great advice, sorry late replying but real life and in particular a session of D&D between then and now.

Trenloe, I hope you get a racer for Christmas, FTW.
