Map module issues

[HywelPhillips]

Hi Everyone,

I'm probably doing something dim, but since I updated FGU today my map module export procedure seems to have broken.

I keep all my battlemaps in a separate campaign (which happens to be CoreRPG ruleset, stupidly, but I'm stuck with it now). I make all the LOS mods etc there centrally then export as a module so I can use them in all my campaigns.

Today the export procedure seems to have broken and I don't know if I've just mis-remembered it or something has changed. Here's what I do, can anyone spot what's gone wrong?

In the Battlemaps campaign, do my edits. Export from that campaign, giving it a module name and comments etc. and exporting just the "Images and Maps" option tick-box.

This creates a .mod file in the modules directory.

I rename this to .zip and unzip.

I edit the definition.xml file and change the ruleset entry from CoreRPG to <ruleset>Any</ruleset>, save the file.

Rezip, rename to .mod

Now my 5e campaigns aren't picking up the module as loadable, so it doesn't appear in the list. It appears fine in a CoreRPG campaign.

I'm really confused, can anyone suggest what might be going on? It's almost like it is picking up a "phantom" version of the .mod file. Have I mis-remembered the magic incantation to get the module usable in all rulesets?

Are you re-zipping the folder? You must rezip the contents of the folder and not the folder itself. If that's not it, try changing capitalization on "any".

Uh, for whatever reason, it has now worked. I went through the whole procedure again (having already done so five or six times already) and this time it worked. As far as I know the only thing I did in between is empty the trash. Maybe MacOS is doing something strange with stale pointers. It's very odd.

I do need to rezip the whole folder, at least on MacOS that's how it always works?

I don't know what that was all about, I will see if it recurs. Might be an OS problem rather than a FGU problem.

Cheers, Hywel
