Hi everyone,
I'm DM'ing a Fantasy Grounds Classic game. A couple of my players have older hardware and it takes quite a long time for them to load modules and to receive shared images. I have a few questions below:
1) It seems that once players load modules the first time, the modules are cached forevermore? Meaning, when players log in at a later date for another game session, they don't have to go through the process of 'loading the modules' all over again, correct?
2) During my previous session, while some players were waiting for their images to load, I read up on pre-loading images. This certainly worked for the later maps we were using in the game. For next time, I was considering having the players' with older hardware log in about fifteen minutes before everyone else so I could start the pre-image load for them. However, do I have to wait for this set of people to all log in before I start pre-loading for the lot OR, as soon as the first player joins, can I start pre-loading for them and when the next player joins invoke another pre-load?
It doesn't seem there is a method to choose a particular player for pre-loading. (As opposed to normal sharing when I can drag the image to their portrait).
3) Another pre-loading question: Is there an indicator somewhere that displays the status of the pre-load so I know when it is finished for my players?
Thanks!
