Purpose
This guide will show you how to import challenges .bog file to your station and submit your results to the website.

Importing
When you click on a challenge post on the website, the first thing provided in the post, will be a .bog file, if one is needed to do the challenge.

  1. Download the .bog file - In this guide, I’m assuming the file will be downloaded to the Niagara User Home directory, usually located at "C:\Users\[username]\Niagara4.[xx]\[distributor]\challenges"
    For me, that looks like this "C:\Users\Rose3\Niagara4.13\vykon\challenges"

  2. Unfold *My Host -> My File System -> User Home -> challenges -> [name].bog* and copy the folder.

  3. Open your running station and paste it to config

You can now work on the challenge.
Once done, rename the folder to something like Challenge01_MyName, copy the folder and paste it back to the challenges folder under User Home.
A .bog file is now created, and you should be able to drag/drop it into a post on the forum.

Hey I am having trouble finding the .bog file that i downloaded for the holding circuit challenge. I am very new to controls and Niagara. I see the Niagara 4.11 folder under my user name but I don’t see any folders about challenges or anything. Do I need to create one? Also I am using Jenesys ProBuilder if that matters or helps.

I am a totally newbie too. Yeah, at first things are a bit confusing to find and copy and paste back and forth, but it sounds like you’re getting it. Cheers Controls_Newbie!
