Transfering Calendar log file from Classic to Unity

[Rothana]

Hi,

I've had some issues with saving errors and have had to delete some files from my unity campaign to correct. However, I have now lost my entire calendar log. I still have the calendar in my Classic campaign - can someone tell me the name of the file and probable folder location (ie campaign?) so I can copy and paste it into my FGU directory?

Incidentally, has anyone else experienced saving errors associated with having FGU in Dropbox?

Thank you!

As far as I am aware the calendar information is saved to the campaign database (in other words the db.xml file) along with all the other campaign information (characters, NPCs, etc). So there’s no special file.

What files did you delete? And yes you will get file errors if you have synced your FG data to any kind of cloud based solution such as dropbox. It is safe enough to back up your data to something like that but don’t have your folder synced to it.

So...no way to just extract the calendar?

First, make copies of everything, when FG is not running.

Inside your campaign db.xml, use one of your old ones, is a section enclosed in <calendar> tags.

You can copy the whole thing out of your backup and insert it into your current db.xml. BUT, make sure you ahve backups of everything!

It looks like this;

Yes, this is an issue.

You shouldn’t be using any active sync/backup/cloud storage solution on your Live FG data, because it can lead to save issues and campaign data corruption. Copy files manually to a backup/cloud storage when FG isn’t running, but don’t have your FG data directories included in DropBox.

Thanks all for the feedback!
