Hi Guys and Girls

I am using one of the DMG maps (Map-9) for a campaign I am running. Whenever i shut down Fantasy Grounds, the map reverts to its original form. It isn't saving any of the information like where the PC tokens were or what part of the fog of war has been uncovered.

When playing a module (Horde of the dragon queen for example), it always returns the tokens and fog of war to the map when I load the campaign.

Is there some way I can save the settings of the map?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rich

Don't use the maps that are in the DMG itself but use the ones in the separate DMG map pack which are unlocked just for this specific reason.

And welcome to FG.

Hi Zacchaeus,

Thank you for your reply. I am going to MAPS then selecting the group Maps - DD Dungeon Masters Guide then selecting Map-9. How do i find the DMG map pack please?

Thanks again

It is a separate module called DD Dungeon Master Guide - Maps. You need to activate it first.
