HOM files question

Post by rocknrollkat »

Hello,
I downloaded a bunch of HOM files from Spogg (thank you !) and I do not know how to open them in Flowstone.
Or do I have to convert them to FSM files ?
Any advice would be helpful, thank you !
:)

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the timely reply !
I unhid the 'users' folder, turned up over 12,000 files, here's the path that seems to work.

C:\Users\rocknrollkat\AppData\Roaming\FlowStone\Modules\User

I think we're in business, thanks again !

Bill :D

Looks like I jumped the gun.
Spogg's HOM files seem to be projects, Flowstone doesn't see 'em.
I'll keep hacking away and post updates if I have any success.

Thanks again,
Bill :shock:

Here's what I've found out so far....
After an hour of hacking the 'C' drive file system, I stumbled upon this....
It's easy to locate the toolbox path, look at the menu bar and see "File, Edit, View, Toolbox", etc.
Open "Toolbox", and there you have the paths.

I built a dummy project, made it into a module, dragged it to the toolbox.
I highlight the module in the toolbox, go to the menu bar, select "Toolbox", "Show module file" and there it is.
It shows up in the proper folder as a "HOM" file,

So far, Spogg's HOMs don't show up, looks like they have to be made into modules first.
I'm kinda new at this stuff, bear with me.

I hope this helps somebody down the road, I'll keep plugging away.
Frankly, it's a whole lot easier to send FSM files.

Bill ;)
