Question About "Archived Projects"

maninblack017

Hey everyone,

After taking a break from the Foundry following the completion of Uprising: Act II, I'm finally getting to work on Act III. (Hope you've enjoyed Act II by the way).

So when creating the Act III project, do I really have to create the costumes and maps from Act II all over again? Isn't there something to do with the "Archived Projects" tab that I can basically bring in a duplicate of Act II and turn it into Act III while keeping all of the resources from the previous Act? Much of the characters will be returning in Act III, however only a few maps would be retained.

And if I can't use the "Archived Projects" tab for this reason, what exactly is the purpose of it?

Just trying to gauge how much time I am going to spend re-doing work I already put in. If there's ways around this that you could enlighten me on, it'd be much appreciated.

Thank you!

It's entirely possible that I just answered my own question by drinking a Sam Adams Octoberfest and having the liquid courage to say "Well here goes nothing".

Archive project makes a copy of the project (it should really be called that instead)

So this duplicate I just made will in no way shape or form affect the original and published Act II? I can feel free to make changes to the new one?

That's right.

useful feature, I used it recently when i took a gamble on rearanging the story board, But didn;t want to mess up too bad, so i made a backup copy
