    Help on how to create a book for a ruleset.

    Morning All,

    My goal: Working on a new Ruleset/Module and would like to include a "Book" so that it shows in the Library.
    Love the look and feel of the new "Books" and want to join the fun.

    After watching a number of videos and scouring the boards, (I may not be good at Search) I am struggling with the process.

    I can build in as a Campaign in the new Campaign builder but that does not export with the module.
    I can build it Story but that doesn't show up in a book.
    Most of the ruleset building videos deal with the core functionality which makes sense.

    So any help would be appreciated... How do I build my custom content so that it appears in "BOOKS"

    Stay Safe out there.

    Stone.

    To create a book start a new campaign and click on Books; then click on the Campaign button. This will open up a new book and you can enter the data you want in there. Once you have finished you can then export that to a module by ticking the story box in the export list. Story is what you would use to export all stories whether standard stories or advanced stories. Book entries are advanced stories (previously reference manual pages which had a separate export option).

    You'll need to create a campaign for the ruleset you are creating for the exported module to show up in the activation screen for a campaign using your ruleset. Unless you export the module as available to all rulesets.

    A little bit out of date now but video thirty six here is all about using books https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-do-I-in-Unity
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    I somehow missed the fact that Story included both types and also included the Campaign Module and did not include them due to no having any other planned stories for the mod.
    Appreciate the additional information. I have checked and it worked like a charm.

    Thanks so much for the support and everything you do.

    Stay Safe.
