Good Morning - I purchased 2 items from DM's Guild this morning, both for Dungeons and Dragons 5e, and from other posts in the forum, I would need to put *.mod items into modules folder, and *.ext items into extensions folder. However, they are PDF files, and RAR for images and maps, not finding the mod and ext file types, can you help me get the purchases either converted to the proper format, or how to put them into my modules in FGU?

Thanks

Please provide a link to the items in the DMsGuild you purchased so we can provide better info.

The .rar file is a compression format. It might contain the .mod or .ext files that you need to install in FG.

PDF files you need to view outside of FG, their is no way to automically open or import them into FG.

Here are the links to the two products, and I was aware of the RAR compression, I have them unzipped and they are image files, no sign or .mod or .ext

Is that the info you are needing?

Those are the links I needed.
For the Zhent one you bought the wrong version. i.e. you bought the PDF version, you want to buy the MOD version which is linked from the description: Darkhold: Secrets of the Zhentarim (Fantasy Grounds) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild (dmsguild.com) (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/329260/Darkhold-Secrets-of-the-Zhentarim-Fantasy-Grounds?affiliate_rem=1549348)

The Factions one, I don't see it as having a FG/MOD version. It only has the PDF version you linked and a Roll20 version which won't help you in FG.

Not sure what their policy is, but you should contact their customer support to see if they can atleast switch the first one for you.

When searching the DMsG, make sure you set the Format option to "Virtual Tabletop" and make sure the resulting item has a "MOD (Virtual Table Top)" icon by the price. I also always look for the FG logo too, but that's not required for a seller to use.

Thanks for your help, I didn't even think to check the format.

Have a great day!
