Token Problem

[tumbleweed]

Ok guys, Flame me if you want. I'm new to FG's and especially FG II.

I downloaded FG II and am unable to get my tokens from FG I into FG II. How do I get my tokens into FG II. I checked my FGII folder on my HD and it isn't there. I tried copying my FG I folder over and it didn't work. What do I need to do.

Ya canna go blaming the gude folks at Smite Works for the wierdness of windows.

What used to be in C:\Program Files\FantasyGrounds\tokens is now in...

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Application Data\Fantasy Grounds II\tokens

(If C: is not your boot drive than it will be another letter)

Its part of Vista's design to become a true multi user operating system. Its something the nix's have always had. The idea is that if you shared your computer with another person they could have indipendent data files for FG2 (and other programs).


Once you get your head around the location shift most things are pretty straightforward.

Copy your FG I tokens over to C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Fantasy Grounds II

The folder location for tokens maps, portraits, etc all changed to there for FG II.

EDIT: Sigurd just beat me..

Hmm...I'm having a subsequent problem - I have Vista, but I can't even see a "Documents and Settings" folder in the C Drive. I feel extremely inept...

I found it, but that was odd! It was at C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II

You should have a folder in your start bar in the Fantasy Grounds section.

That simply means you have enabled 'roaming profiles'.
