i read the previous threads of moving to new pc.

copied the fantasy grounds folder to cloud and then copied over the new install on my new pc.

the campaign is here..... but its empty of characters / party etc. / notes / custom parcels

i can see some stuff.... but most of my newish stuff is missing.

im playing pathfinder rel 1....

on the old computer the stuff that is missing would all have been hand made... ie. undefined directory

what have i done wrong ?

It sounds like you may not have loaded the campaign you ran your game in. That is where the PCs are and likely at least part of any custom stuff is. The suggestion is you run the game in one campaign with the PCs and use another to develop in. It sounds like you may have loaded the one you develop in instead of the run the game one.

ok found it.....somehow got renamed and instead a black campaign was on the directory instead.

i think some of my early attempts got partial results.....
redid campaign copy having deleted all from campaigns directory... and voila all good.

I'm guessing it had not finished uploading to your cloud location before you tried downloading it.
But glad you got it moved and thanks for letting us know.
