How Do You Create a Module?

[pjrake]

i want to create a module but don't know how. i know i can open "story" and create "new" but that'll only create a "campaign" right? i know also that modules have a .mod extension.

thanks!

Modules are made from campaigns. Once the campaign has what you want to export then type /export in the chat line. This will pop up an export window. Fill out the information the most important being the name of the module and the file name. Then click as many checks as needed in the middle and add any tokens to the bottom. When you are done right click on the window and select export.

okies :)

In 1.5 - you type the following:

/export [modulefilename] [module description]

fx: You have a module called The Lady's Death, you have all the data keyed in, you're happy with your images and such, and ready to send this masterpiece out to the world to enjoy. You decide to send it out as a Module as opposed to a full campaign - this way people can just drop it into an existing campaign.

You type /export ladysdeath The Lady's Death

Voila - now inside your modules folder there should be a .mod file called ladysdeath.mod now :)

Hope that works out for you :) If not, let us know :D
