I am new. I have bought SF bundle, but no idea about how to download. Help Please!

[Eusantis]

Hi.

In the links to my e-mail, there is nothing to download, only these instructions, which I paste here. But i don´t understand it very good. I have bought FG Unity Ultimate, but i do not see any "manage button" in any "purchase section" in my settings. Is FG Unity fully compatible with the Starfinder bundle I have just bought? What thing I do not see? What do I have to do to be able to enjoy the bundle? Thanks in advance! I am lost! :confused::(:cry:

That's only in the FG Classic version, not in FG Unity.

In Unity, there's link buttons for Paizo and Steam in the 'Account' tab.

Thank you, Dave. I have bought my things in the own FG web. So, being Paizo products, should i link to Paizo?

[Eusantis]

I have tried, and there is no way. It seems does not work. I push link to Paizo, and then I update, bu I see nothing of my purchase. (Although I have bought all it in the Fantasy Grounds web, like a bundle, and all it is in my downloads section, in FG).

I am thinking... must I download classic FG??


The fact is that I see , when I update, the updater says 39 purchases were found. But then there is nothing, when I launch a new game, only the 5e, 3e etc. D&D, basic games...

But NOTHING of Starfinder or Pathfinder (which I bought too).


I have sent this too to Support e-mail. No answer yet. I have spent a lot of money!

If you say me that Unity doesn´t work, yet, ok, say it, and i´ll see to download Classic.


On the other hand, they have blocked this same thread in the support part of this forum. Man, I have not posted this too over there to duplicate it. I did it because i have not seen that part before, and I seemed, when discovered, that it was the correct place.

Sorry for the inconveniences. I think you can all understand that when you spend so much money on something new and you see that it doesn't work, you worry a little.

Make sure you’ve followed the instruction here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/819212/Installing+Fantasy+Grounds+Unity

Especially from step 5 onwards - make sure you successfully fill out all the details in step 5!

[Kreger Bjorn]

Hello Eusantis,

I believe I know what you need to do. Once you open FGU, go to settings. From there it will ask for your License Key for Ultimate. It will also have fields to put in your User Name and Password you used to set up your account. Afterwards save and then click "Check for Updates" on the main launch window.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: looks like someone beat me to it, but Trenloe knows what he's talking about :)

[Eusantis]

Hi, Trenloe and Kreger, thank you very much.

There is no way, I am doing what you say. In fact I have uninstalled FG, to install other time. I make what you say, then, and everything seems to be going well, in fact, I see in the updater how everything I bought from Paizo is being unzipped and installed.

But, What is the next to enjoy my downloads? What am I doing wrong? What I do is to launch FG, and press "host new campaign", and then I only see the basic games. Nothing of my purchases there. I don´t understand.


I EDIT:

However, in my rulesets folder, in my computer, there is nothing of Paizo, despite I have seen it being installed, acording to the updater....

Well, i have just seen all my purchases from Paizo are in the Vault folder.... so, why it does not work?

[Trenloe]

You'll need to spend some time reading the Wiki or User Guide, watching videos or signing up to FG College to learn the interface.

Load up a new SFRPG campaign - and then activate the modules you want to see.

Basic guide Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/688291/Basic+Guides

How to use the library and activate modules here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/950555/Using+the+Library+and+Activating+Modules

You can also log into the FG web page go to store and go to purchase history. I found that if I purchase something from STEAM it will not download from FG website. I actually have to start up FG Classic install the product then start up FG Unity do the update and it then gets installed. Even though the accounts are linked. The STEAM purchase did not even show up under history like it should even with the accounts linked. It only showed up after I installed it under FG Classic. The reason why I purchased through STEAM the product was on sale for 19.99 instead of 29.99 from the FG website. STEAM has a lot of good sales.

All purchased products from the FG website should auto install when you start up your FG Unity and click on update. If not you need to setup an account on the FG Website then link STEAM and Paizo to your account. Once that is done you need to do an update. Then you start up FG Unity a small window appears you click next and then you will see a window that says load modules. Every product you purchased will appear here. Please allow some time for the modules to load. You will need to take some time to select what you want to load.

If you have purchased the FG Unity (Ultimate). that is a special license key. You will need to manually add that key. Then update. Yes every time you do something you will need to update.

Yes, host your own campaign make sure you put a password on so u can practice without people connecting to you from the lobby.

Hello again,
From where you are in that png file, click SFRPG and then start. Afterwards, once the game loads, go into modules and load the items you find there.

[Trenloe]

Follow the instructions here to start a new campaign: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/655414/Hosting+a+Game

[Eusantis]

Thank you shezingzh, I am linked and updated. I bought directly in the FG web. In Unity window I never see "next", and I never see any window where to load modules... I am starting to think if I am so silly, or maybe something simply doesn´t work for me. :confused: :dead:

Maybe I must to download Classic, better... but this is very frustrating.

[Eusantis]

Thankyou all.. Seem it works now... I admit I'm a little thick... but guys, this is not the most intuitive thing I have seen! :eek:

[Trenloe]

FG is a powerful tool, but with that power comes some level of complexity. Don’t bring any pre-conceptions with you - learn how to do things the FG way.

Like I mentioned before - you’ll need to invest time watching videos, reading the user guide, etc. otherwise you’ll be lost and just get frustrated.

I recommend you sign up to some sessions at FG College.

[shezingzh]

Step 1 Click on Host a campaign
Step 2 type in a campaign name. I assume you called your campaign Pruba.
Step 3 type in a password
Step 4 type in a GM name
Step 5 select Cloud and select public (no one can log in as long as you have a password and GM name) unless you give those out
Step 6 Click on start
Step 7 a small window appears click next
Step 8 click on Modules at the top of the next page a new window will appear. This window will contain all the books, adventures, and other items you ordered. You will then take your time and click on each book you wish to load. This will take some time, have patience.
Step 9 Once completed click next and finish, you will then be in the program. All your buttons and commands will be on the right.

[shezingzh]

You do not need FG Classic. You need to simply slow down and study the interface and learn the program in baby steps.

Newly, a lot of thanks to all (minus one), specially, Shezingzh and Trenloe. I am fascinated by this way to play RPGs. I played a lot a lot of years ago, without any digital element, of course. All this is a new thing for me. A new rol age!

I started two weeks ago, by the cause of the current vital circunstances for all, playing a role play with Roll20, invited by a friend. Doing research, I think maybe FG is more complete.

[shezingzh]

I have found that sometimes pictures are worth a few thousand words but still you should watch the youtube videos and check out the FG college.

[Nathanial321]

I just exited out of the Fantasy Grounds Unity app, restarted it, and clicked on the update button. That took care of the issue for me.

I know this is an old thread, but I thought others may have this same question.
ANSWER:
First, you CREATE a campaign by selecting the Game System and optional extensions & password and you name it something like Prueba.
Then you LOAD Prueba to host / GM it.
Finally, your players JOIN Prueba to play it.
