Where is the fog of war info stored?

Been doing a lot of struggling getting the game working out of safe mode on my system, which involved making numerous copies of my install directory.  Now that it's working I logged into a character and the fog of war on all my maps is reset.  I thought that was stored locally and would be copied with everything else.  It doesn't seem to be server-side, since it's also reset when I log on from another system.  Where is that info, and can I copy it over?

Well I tend to use it as an indicator of where I've been, including getting exploration badges and such, so I don't want it all cleared.

I do the same thing, but then once I've acquired all of the exploration/history badges for a zone I use reveal.

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.

Thank you.  Have now included that entire directory in my overnight back-ups.

 

FYI, my full path was   C:\Users\(my login name)\AppData\Local\NCSoft\CoX\VisitedMaps

Thanks for finding that!  I bought my own computer recently, so all my Fog of War data was on my spouse's computer, and not saved on a per-character basis.  It's been annoying to try to remember to hit Reveal on characters who I had thought I had already uncovered every map with.

Now to copy that data over and hope it doesn't melt my game!

Oh the days of flying/running while cloaked just to clear the fog. :p
