Swapping Custom Monsters Between Computers

Submitted by Save-vs-DM on Tue, 2011-08-30 14:54

Very simple question. I currently have two copies of VCC - desktop and netbook. One machine runs Win 7 64 and the other Win 7 32. I made a ton of custom monsters for a game and now I want to transfer them to the VCC on my netbook. Where are the custom monsters stored?

Said monsters were done by copying and then editing an existing entry.

If you simple want move for ever you can find the compendium directory and copy it to the new machine. You should copy the contents of the compendium to the compendium directory on the new machine.

Notice that when you open VCC and do a load file (first time), it will open in the directory that contains the compendium directory. If you don't find the directory see this document to help you locate it.

On Windows 7 if it should be you /User/your user name/Documents/vcc. If you copy this compendium sub-directory all your monsters will be there. The other place the compendium may be found in is the directory where you installed VCC.

Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
