May one transfer LOS files from one campaign to another without copying the whole campaign? From an old Unity campaign to new.

It depends. If you added the images to the campaign and then created the line of sight to those images then you can export the line of sight data and place that along with the same images into another campaign. If the images were inside a module then the line of sight will probably be in the moduledb folder inside the campaign and you should be able to copy that to the new campaign.

Without knowing however the exact circumstances of how the line of sight was added and to what it was added it’s difficult to give you a concise answer. So more details would be useful.

Images are added from a module and LOS was created in the current campaign.

That being the case look in the moduledb folder inside the campaign that you drew the LoS in. Youi should find an xml file in there with the module name. You can copy that file from there into the moduledb folder (you may need to actually create the moduledb folder) in the new campaign. When you open the module in the new campaign the file in the moduldb should over-ride the module and so LoS should get added. I can't 100% guarantee this will work.

Thank you, not sure if I need to do this, but may to get a clean start.

Did you create a new image from the module image asset? Or have you added multiple images to a single FG image record?

Please provide exact details as how you've created the image, or used an existing image, as this will impact the options you have for using in other campaigns.

Each map has a single image. The maps come from player created module in FGC. Each module has maps, story, NPCs, encounters, tokens, items and parcels. The modules were openned in FGU, and I created the LOS in FGU.

Thanks,
