Creating a thrown weapon and skill

[CthulhuBob]

How do I create the skill and weapon for new thrown weapon? I want to give a super Thrown Weapon (Fire Hydrant) and can't get the ranged weapons section to show the skill level I am inputting into the skill on the front page.

The ranged weapon list shows the weapons on your equipment list. So you need a sample hydrant on there.

I created a "New Muscle Powered Ranged Weapon" Hydrant as well as _New Skill, %typelist% (Fire Hydrant)>

It lets me raise this as a skill on the front page, but it doesn't reflect this on the ranged weapon part of the print preview.

It also keeps wanting me to make it a technique derived from an existing Thrown Weapon (type).

Go into the Edit window for the new skill you created and make sure that Fire Hydrant is listed as part of the name extension and not as part of the name field. I hadn't realized this before, but it looks like if you set the name extension as you are adding the _New Skill GCA dumps the name extension into the name field, and then the equipment is unable to find the skill correctly.

That is, in the Simple Edit view, the listing should be
Name: Thrown Weapon
Name Extension: Fire Hydrant

and not
Name: Thrown Weapon (Fire Hydrant)
Name Extension:

Then the item needs to know the skill used with it is: Thrown Weapon (Fire Hydrant)

Works now. Thank you so much.
