Videos on how to use Fantasy Grounds VTT

All your data will be in the FGData folder. Click on the little folder icon on the top left of the start screen to find where that is. Uninstalling FGU won't affect your data in any way. You don't say if you are changing computers but if you aren't then your data will still be there in the same place after you reinstall. If you are changing computers then copy the campaign folder from your old one into your new one - same place inside the FFG Data folder.

I used to log in as a player to my campaign in the Original Fantasy ground program. That way other players would also see the character and everything worked smoothly.

They could see that characters chat and rolls etc.

How do I replicate this in Unity if I can't run that second instance of the program?

If there is a video or something please let me know

You should be able to start a second instance of Unity. If using the cloud broker, use your forum name to join your campaign. If using IP address, use localhost to join your campaign.

See the other reply on how to start a second instance. Note if you are on a Mac or running via Steam, the methods can vary.

You also have the ability to 'claim' a PC via the PC selection window where you right click and 'Take Ownership' of the PC.

How do I add a table into F1 hotkey slot, so it opens the table, instead of sending the table name into chat?

[Zacchaeus]

Drag the dice roll button on the table into the Quick bar slot.

And welcome to FG.

Thank you for welcoming and fast response.

Problem seems to be that it is reference table, so kinda unrollable. No dice roll buttons in that table. I would like to have fast shortcut to RR table in RMC ruleset. It is needed in out-of-combat situations quite often, like with poisons and I keep forgetting where the table is. Although now that I have tried several ways to shortcut it, I probably will remember where to find it already and would save only few clicks with that shortcut.

Sorry, not familiar with that ruleset. If it's in a reference page then drag the link icon on the top left of the reference page onto the quickbar slot.

That particular table cannot be put on the Hot Bar.

Unfortunately, it is a specific table type for Rolemaster. It's one of the tables for the Table Resolver.

The only thing I could suggest to maybe make things a bit faster, is to drag the RM Tables icon to the Hot Bar. If you drag it to a story entry first you could rename it to RR Table.

Here is a sequence showing it.

Drag the RM Tables icon to a Story Entry:


Rename the Story Entry, do not back space over the Link icon, the Red Iron Crown, that will delete the link itself, and you do not want that.


Then drag the Link icon (the Iron Crown) to the hot bar.




Also, just FYI, any ruleset specific questions (like this one), would be better off in the Rolemaster Classic Sub-forum section. You'll find more people familiar with the RMC ruleset there.

Hi,

I've looked but can't find out how to this, so apologies if I've missed something!

I'd like to create a label overview layer for an image, where I as a GM could add annotation to an image without it appearing to the players, by making the label overview layer visible to GM only. The Image Control Paint layer mode has line/rectangle/circle/stamp tools (described here) but no Text tool. Is there any way to do what I want from within FGU or do I need to use a separate tool to create the annotation with a transparent background and import that in addition to the underlying image?

Cheers,

TFG
