Where do I put these .ext files? I was assuming the extension folder, but can't figure it out. Any help would be great!
New: NVM found it. Would help to enable the extensions when launching FG.

Hi, I'm new and seeing this thread, I figure it's better to piggy back off this one.
I'm looking to do something similar down the road with a local/in house game and use FG to help with the campaigning.
Probably going to eventually run Out of the Abyss with some friends.
If I understand the purchase options correctly, would I just need a Standard license to DM locally? I'd plan on my laptop with the DM screen, and a 2nd screen on a tv for the players, and it seems that a "demo" version would be sufficient to make that happen provided no one else is logging in to the server?
Is that correct?
If I do have someone down the road (have a sister in England who may want to remote in), I would either need to upgrade my Standard account to Ultimate, or she would need to buy a standard license as well? On top of that my "demo" version would have to be upgraded to Standard too so that it can also log in locally? (As the demo player gets booted the minute any additional users join).
At which point the Ultimate license seems the most cost effective way if that's 3 standard licenses. Am I understanding all that correctly?
Thanks, and looking forward to diving a bit deeper into this "dungeon"
You've got it.
With the one caveat that if you run your local table as a second monitor from your laptop (for instance if it has an HDMI port you use) then you would just just the TV instance as a second instance on your laptop (assuming it can handle that).
Thank you. I probably will try the double instance route. We're probably getting a new laptop in the coming months.Quote:

I run a Dell Precision M3800. Its much more than FG needs, but it is light (for a workstation class laptop). It's also pretty old and I doubt you can find them anymore.
I would just add that if you are playing face-to-face games and even if you choose NOT to use a TV or second monitor (or all players have their own laptops), Fantasy Grounds is still an OUTSTANDING campaign management tool for the DM/GM to track rules, characters, npcs, etc. It (to me) is much more than just a VTT... I keep ALL my campaign notes and data in it (and I keep backups of all of it on another PC and the cloud... just in case).
Oh, and Welcome to FG!
Yes, that's the nice thing and right now all I own is the PHB as a hardcopy so getting some of these on digital isn't going to be a double cost. My brother in law who will typically be playing with me has most of the hardcopies.Quote:

As far as I understand, you are correct about the upgrade price.
Yes, their is an Upgrade licesne. It's hard to find, I can't find it at the moment, but I've seen the link before and its is often mentioned. I think it's $111, but not sure ($149-$39 plus a dollar).
I found it here :) https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store...d=SWK03UPGRADEQuote:

Hey
I downloaded the file,"BigFonts.ext", now what do I do with it?
If you want to load the extension, put it in your Fantasy Grounds data directory, inside the extensions folder. then when you load your campaign file, make sure you select the extension on the list before load your campaign
We play TTRPG (Pathfinder) with a projector and FG. I project the "player login" via chromecast onto a cheap dry erase/frameless white board ($8 at Home Depot) so my players can move around physical minis and roll physical dice (be in the moment) but still have the benefit of utilizing FG content/maps.

I was wondering how a 1080P projector could be so cheap, until I realized it isn't 1080P at all...
I've been thinking of the same idea in using a whiteboard surface on the table. Projected content can be augmented with markers if needed. Cleans up easy.
Nope, not 1080, but as long as the map you are projecting is high enough quality, it's not an issue.
I really shopped around for a good projector at a affordable price without going to low on lumens. I ended up with a BenQ MW526. I paid around $400 Canadian. Still works great and i plug it once in while to my PS4.

Enjoy:)
Here's mine :)
This is a projector? What is it projecting onto?Quote:

What font code? I don't see any mentioned but I could be missing it. Do you mean the linked to extension? Since FG runs in a Wine skin, everything in the extension should be self contained... Have you tried and are having trouble or...?Quote:

Nope, not possible without changing a lot of code (and I mean a lot). Extensions affect everyone in the campaign, both players and GMs.Quote:

Welcome to the forums and FG Community chlarizthe!
Thank u Nylanfs
Nice! I like that one. Thanks.
How do you make the extension work?
Go into the data folder of FG and copy the extension into the extension folder :) Restart the FG launcher and when you want to start the campaign you should be able to see some list on the right where you can choose extensions for that campaign to load :) Select the extension there (probably you mean the big fonts one?)Quote:
