Guide: How to Install FGII on OS X using WineBottler

No, you want to choose Add a Game | Activate a Product and then enter your license key.

Also, I think we recently had better luck with WineSkin than we did with WineBottler.

...unless you want to use Steam.

Little more help with the iMac. Can anyone tell me where my FG files are located since I have to run through Steam? I can't find the character converter or files to place images in or anything like that. Any help would be great, Thanks!

When you run Fantasy Grounds, there is a folder icon on the Launch screen you can click. It will open a finder window at the root of the Application Data Folder for Fantasy Grounds. Alternately, you can go to your Library in Steam, highlight the Fantasy Grounds game | right-click and choose Properties. Once there, click on the Local Files tab and then Browse Local Files. There should be a Fantasy Grounds.app file in that folder. Right-click on it and select to Show Package Contents. Inside there is a virtual C: drive (drive_C). You can navigate through there to find the application data folder for Fantasy Grounds.

The path inside the app should look like this:
Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fantasy Grounds/Fantasy Grounds/Contents/Resources/Drive_C/Users/Wineskin/Application Data/Fantasy Grounds

You might want to save a shortcut to that location once you locate it.

Hello Trueshots.

Follow the folder that says Users and keep drilling down into the path I mentioned above (Post #64).

The folder icon you posted above is something that we've fixed in the Test channel and it's just waiting some final testing before it gets pushed to our Live channel. You can try it out if you want by changing your Settings to Test mode instead of Live mode inside of Fantasy Grounds.

I made it here, but I have no clue what to do from here, Im about to set fire to this iMac.......

[ddavison]

It looks like you are somehow inside the executable.

The path for me is here:
/Users/dougdavison/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fantasy Grounds/FantasyGrounds.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/Wineskin/Application Data/Fantasy Grounds/utilities

Inside that folder there is a CharacterConverter.exe

If you double-click on it, you should get a prompt to run it under Wine.

Yup I have the exact same path way you have. but when I click that last folder "utilities" it have nothing put those exe files in it

EDIT: IS it because I don't actually have Wine installed on my computer? Its just in one of those folders. But I tried to install it and it won't let me do that either...
