Setting Campaign Base TL
I'm not sure if my searching skills are letting me down here but is there a way of setting the Campaign Option Base TL from a GDF?

Re: Setting Campaign Base TL
No, there's not. But there should be.
At present, it always sets a new character's TL based on the Base TL set in Campaign Settings. But, in fact, it would make a lot of sense to have all the options in Campaign Settings settable from the data files. I'll look into that, but for now, I'm afraid they have to be set manually. Armin

Re: Setting Campaign Base TL
I have also noticed other TL related oddities. Am I wrong, or is the only way to preset the base TL for a character is to do it before creation? There is a button (a globe icon) which suggests that it would update a (mistakenly un-updated) TL listing, but when I enter the data it does not update TL related entries on the character sheet. Nor does it remember the TL from one character to another. It's more of an annoyance than a bug.
I'm running 4.0.21, which I *think* is the most recent version. I'm running it on Win XP. It would be appreciated if this functionality were made possible in your "Copious Spare Time". ;-) Or, if there is a way to enable this behavior on my own, I'm eager to hear about it! By the way, THANK YOU Armin, for giving up your life for this project. IT means that even arithmetic-addled brains like mine can still play GURPS with perfectly point-balanced characters!

If you want to change the Default TL for all characters that you create in the future, that's an option that you set in Options, on the Default Character Options tab. You can also change the default settings for character points and limits, your preferred character sheet, and a few miscellaneous other things on that tab. Quote:
