Hello Support,

The module Lankhmar: The Night of Blood and Teeth. It is no longer in the /modules folder. I do own it via the FG Store.

Previously, I somehow had two copies with slightly different names (one with the word "...and..." and the other with the ampersand, "...&...") Not sure why, but things were working so I didn't mess with the situation. Now, I can see NPCs, Items, and Encounters from this module but no Story at all nor do any of the links to Story from NCPs, Items, and Encounters work. The little book icon shows on each window, but it doesn't open anything. I do have DM created content and would prefer very much to not lose that if possible.

Thoughts?

Anything from the FG Store should be in the /vault folder and not the /modules folder.
On the FG Store page will be a alpha numeric code in the bottom left corner. This is the file name (plus .dat) that you will find in the /vault folder.

The & vs and in the title was probably a rename since the & is a special character and causes problems in module names. (It can be done, but needs to be in the correct field, a backend thing that is sort of new).

Before you do the following, make backups of your campaign folder!!!

Their will be a file in the moduledb sub-folder of the campaign folder that should have an xml file. You might need to change the name of that file to get your local campaign changes to the file. If the module name was changed, then you may need to edit the db.xml file links for the new name for your links to work.

If you are not comfortable altering those files, you can attach them here, and if my above assumptions are correct, someone will probably be able to make the updates for you. (I don't have that module so wouldn't be able to test if I made such changes correctly)

There's two different versions of this module within the "IPFGLANOBAT.dat" package in the FG vault. The one with the "&" is for Savage Worlds Deluxe, and the one with the "and" is for SWADE. Both load for me (the version depends on the FG ruleset being used) and each load and show data, except (as noted) they don't show any story (or book) entries. The product page screenshots show a book (reference manual) so it appears to be an issue with displaying the "book" in this case. Hopefully the dev will pick this up and look into it.

I will fix it ASAP - looks like I missed Story when exporting (these were made before Story was a thing) ... doh!

Hotfix has gone out, please report any further issues.
