How do you start a campaign other than D&D 3.5 OGL?

    So I purchased my Judge license. I went to the Marketplace and downloaded the Pathfinder rule set under 'Rules'. I started my Judge license and it's asking for 'alias' and 'campaign', but in the drop down box under campaign the only selection is 'D&D 3.5 OGL'. Do I have to do something so that it will see/be able to use the Pathfinder rules?

    http://www.d20pro.com/help/UGCPCampaign.php - to create new Campaign directories

    Since 3.5 and Pathfinder are similar, you can still use the maps and creatures pre-installed with d20Pro's 3.5OGL ruleset. However, to better display what system you are actually running you may change the 3.5 OGL label to Pathfinder by going into d20Pro's directory on your computer.

    If you installed it in Program Files (windows):
    Program Files/MindGene/d20Pro/judge/campaigns/

    Then rename the directory from "D&D 3.5 OGL" to "Pathfinder"

    If you installed it on a Mac:
    option-click the d20Pro application and choose Show Package Contents
    Contents > Resources > Java > judge > campaigns >

    Then rename the folder from "D&D 3.5 OGL" to "Pathfinder"

    Wouldn't a much better way be to clicked advanced, create campaign, the load the pathfinder ruleset from the marketplace, and load that and save?

    Yes, that is the best way to start from scratch. Though, AkosPrime already installed the Pathfinder ruleset overriding the 3.5 ruleset. So, a simple rename is all that's needed in this case.

    Alternative ways:
    * One could re-install the 3.5 ruleset from the Marketplace, then create a new campaign for Pathfinder in the way described above.
    * One could copy the 3.5 directory and rename it to Pathfinder then install the Pathfinder ruleset from the Marketplace - this option keeps existing maps/creatures/items/handouts.

    Thanks guys, I'm not too deeply into d20Pro yet so I could always back out and start over. I was just surprised that it wasn't available by default in the drop down box when the rules were downloaded. I've got the rules imported and they seem to be in the campaign/module - at least from the basic looking at it that I've done. Thanks again for the tips and help!
