Thought I would piggyback on this thread...

Has there been a Art Pack update as my current map now has several red question marks on it? The map was created using FGU purchased map packs. I can't tell what is missing (is there a way of finding this out?) so I'm a bit foxed as to how to fix the problem.

Currently I've covered the question marks with rugs, so I've literally swept them under the carpet.

I have the following FGU Packs;

FG Art Pack 2019
FG Cemetery Map Pack
FG Costal Maps 1 & 2
FG Goblin Camp
FG Interiors
FG Siege 1
FG Underground 1 & 2

Playing RMC on FGU

I've moved this issue to its own thread. The thread you posted in was related to a very specific issue with one module (Rise of the Drow). Best to post in a new thread unless the thread you're posting in is exactly the same issue with the same product.

Can you provide the campaign folder zipped up that you are seeing the issue with, as well as the name of the image affected?

Thanks,

The module link only contains an XML file that is not named correctly to be a module. Did you upload the whole module file?

The Module file came from = \Roaming\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds\campaigns\campaigns\MERP Wednesday Live Play\moduledb\Battle for the East Emnet

The whole of the module folder is \Roaming\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds\campaigns\campaigns\MERP Wednesday Live Play\moduledb Dropbox info here = https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5xgru2elkbaj6o/moduledb.zip?dl=0

It's a homebrew module created in a seeder campaign and transferred/exported over to the live play campaign area. I've used the same method a few times and the data/maps etc transfers over fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by naming it correctly to be a module (point me at a thread and I'll see what I'm doing wrong)

There is definitely some confusion.

The moduledb subfolder within the campaign save folder is the "change" file for the module within this campaign. It's not the full set of data from the module.

The actual modules all live with the "modules" subfolder under the FG data folder (for custom modules), and in the "vault" subfolder (for official modules).

Where did you get this module from?

Yes, confusion on my part. Sorry try - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yshkv4osx0qp9vq/Battle%20for%20the%20Micandor.zip?dl=0

It's a module I created from my seeder campaign.

Fingers crossed I've sent you the correct info this time.

Looks like at some point a art pack module's name changed from SmiteWorks Underground 2 Map Pack to SmiteWorks Underground Map Pack 2

I've done a find/replace in the moduledb\Battle for the East Emnet.xml file - which I've attached. Without your campaign loaded, copy this file into your campaign \moduledb directory, then load up the campaign and check the image.

Trenloe - this has fixed the ? issue.

Thanks.

Thanks, Trenloe.

Looking back, it looks like the name was changed within a few days of the original launch of the art pack over a year ago. I was originally looking for something that happened in the last few months in the change log.

I'm glad you got it working.

Whilst checking the fix I spotted another map I had created which had the same error. Any chance you could fix this one?

Open up the module (rename to .zip to allow you to unzip the module) and then open the db.xml file in a text editor. Do find/replace - find: SmiteWorks Underground 2 Map Pack and replace with: SmiteWorks Underground Map Pack 2

Then re-zip up the module and rename from .zip to .mod.
