Import Path problem #123

Closed JoonasVerm closed 3 years ago

JoonasVerm commented 3 years ago

I'm hosting Foundry on a linux server and accessin it via Windows pc. I'm trying to import a world but I can't get the fvttadv file to show up in the importer. What should I put in the Import Path? Should the file be at the server or on my computer? It's 2 GB so too large for the choose file method. I've tried putting it in different folders on both the server any my PC. How do I get it to show up in the importer?

I got it. It had to be in the installionpath import folder. That could be a bit clearer in the guide.

Ahh I see. So to get it to show up in the dropdown you need to find the data path. I'm not sure it creates it automatically but you do specify the path when launching foundry from node example node resources/app/main.js --dataPath=../foundrydata

This path is the root for the import path, so if my path to foundry is ~/foundryvtt then in the case above the path would be ~/foundrydata and the resolved default import path would be ~/foundrydata/adventures/import Hope that makes sense.

I think because I'm runnin the nodejs versio, my path is a bit more complicated. I have a ~/foundryvtt folder where I unpacked the original istallion zip but the data files are in ~/.local/share/FoundryVTT/Data/

Yea, the could be more clear for those running the node version. :)
