you can just paste in the

you can just paste in the file named SpellData.cgr into

C://program files [or program files (86x)/TaleofTales/EndlessForest3/userdata

and then with Vista/7 hit the compatability files before you paste.

Then load your forest.

There were.. four with that name? I dl'd them, and started my game, but... It had the same set. I think I messed up, because i put them in the main folder and THEN Pressed 'compatibility files' seeing my mistake, I delete those, and try again, but nothing happens! Please, please help me!

ShadowsofLight is right...

ShadowsofLight is right... But once you download the file(s), it should only take one Spelldata.cgr to copy/paste or drag and drop into that folder. Make sure it's being replaced (it may prompt you, if it does, click yes).

Otherwise, all I can think of is to make sure you're running TEF as administrator. You can select that option by right-clicking on the TEF program or icon.

Okay, I need to Start over.

Okay, I need to Start over. >>

Do I put it into the compatibility files AND the main folder, or what?

If you could take screenies on how to do this, please?

There should be a screenshot

There should be a screenshot guide or video explaining this, I agree. X'D It should probably be a video because this is deceptively simple, it's just difficult to explain in words (at least to me?).

I don't know the settings on your folders or TEF. I would suggest making sure you're running TEF as administrator (right click the program or icon to select this option). Then, here is how it works for me:

1. You have a Spelldata.cgr that you know contains the zombie set. In this case, the one you downloaded.
2. Go to Program Files -> Tale of Tales -> The Endless Forest 3 -> userdata.
3. You will see two files: Preferences.cgr and Spelldata.cgr. You are going to replace that Spelldata.cgr with the one you downloaded.
4. Go back to the Spelldata.cgr that you know has the zombie set. Right click the file and select "copy." Go back to the userdata folder, right click and select paste. Make sure it replaces the other file. On my computer it asks me to confirm I want to replace the file.
5. Log into the forest to check and see if it replaced the old spelldata.

I'm gonna re-dl TEF, just to have the correct stuff. I dl'd two things, so I have no clue what the giant folder has in it.

Userdata is a folder inside

Userdata is a folder inside the TEF main folder, in case that's what the issue is about (I always hope that issues are misunderstandings, not game errors~) :3 Inside the userdata folder is the spelldata file that you replace.

Alphafrost's picture

Yes, but the compatibility

Yes, but the compatibility files are what were after, I assume?

Okay, I did everything you said, step by boring, tedious step.

I won't try it now, because I'm sick, and tired.

Oh! No, what ShadowsofLight

Oh! No, what ShadowsofLight and I were referring to is a setting that is called "compatibility files." I can take a screenshot and show you, one moment...

^This is the compatibility


^This is the compatibility file setting. This is what ShadowsOfLight said to click, if I'm not mistaken. You just click it. Nothing more. (This is a view from the userdata folder, which you can access by following Step 3.)

Note that there are two files in the screenshot. You must replace the Spelldata.cgr that is already present in the folder with the Spelldata.cgr file that you downloaded.


^This is what it looks like when you right click your TEF icon (the gold leaf). My cursor is hovered over Run as administrator - clicking this opens the game as administrator. That's all it does. But for some reason this is something most Vista players have to do at least once.

So, you DON'T put a file into

So, you DON'T put a file into It?!


-goes to put a folder in the main file-

Right? You just click, you don't C&p anything into it?

You do that to the main folder?

I'm not sure what you're

I'm not sure what you're calling the "main folder"... do you mean the TEF folder or the userdata folder?

And you have to click Compatibility Files first and then c+p the spelldata file into it. You have to replace the spelldata file or it won't have the info you need.

You aren't supposed to make or move any folders, only the spelldata file.

You were very helpful, shaku. (: You explained things in a few sentences when it would have taken me a paragraph or two. :3<3

I hope it works when you get the chance to try it, Alpha. (:

Laruna; I've been told that's

Laruna; I've been told that's my specialty ;D But I think it's just because I'm impatient. I wouldn't have been able to explain everything in detail like you did.

Alpha; Is your old set loading, or is your deer loading naked? It's possible that the downloaded files are corrupt or something.

Alpha, what version of TEF

Alpha, what version of TEF are you playing? This might have something to do with why the spelldata isn't working.

I'm using the latest

I'm using the latest beta.

My old set is loading.

Spelldata doesn't work with the beta I don't think.
shaku's picture

But if her old set is

But if her old set is loading, then it means that the old spelldata wasn't replaced... doesn't it? Or am I misunderstanding how it works? XD;;

With the new beta spell data

With the new beta spell data is saved on the server, the files are no longer used to tell the program what set a deer is wearing.
Laruna's picture

Oh my lord. I feel really

Oh my lord. I feel really silly now for not asking about the version. x'D But at least this explains why it wasn't working.

Shaku, there's some info about the new beta(s) here if you're interested. (I'm only directing you there because I haven't personally tried the beta so I'm not sure how it works.) :3<3

Oh man.. I totally didn't

Oh man.. I totally didn't know about that XD;; I have a fawn, so I wasn't aware of the spelldata. Makes sense, though. Less chance of people tampering with the code, amirite?

Thanks for the link, Laruna~ Very informative 8D

Lol, this all feels so silly now XD No wonder..

Not to sound like an annoying

Not to sound like an annoying old player here, but there was a time when all we could do was wait for Halloween. Look at the bright side, if you wait until Halloween and get your set on the beta, it will be saved for you on the server and you won't have to worry about losing it.
Alphafrost's picture

Shaku- You didn't think it

Shaku- You didn't think it was worth the experience? Then, what are you doing here?


Tera- I am patient, but.. i just like that set to death. It's kinda hard to wait sometimes. Do you know the feeling?

I do indeed. My first Halloween in The Forest, back before we knew how spell-data worked, I was thrilled to get a skull mask for my deer Queze....only to lose it falling into the pond a few weeks later! lol xD

Lol, how does 'putting on'

Lol, how does 'putting on' work for older version deers to younger deers?


I will do anything to get that mask. -rawr-

If you replace your beta

If you replace your beta version with an older version (one of the downloads farther down the downloads page), what was said above should work for getting the set you want.

Unless, like recently

Unless, like recently happened to a friend of mine, the older version won't work on your compu anymore ;D The beta won't let you goooo...
