[Phoenix] How can I copy setups from character to character?
Hi
First of all, thank you for the gift of Phoenix, it's an excellent addition to GCA4. I was wondering, is there a possibility to copy setups made to the character sheet from character to character? Also, I would very much like to use the setup you made for the combat oriented Dai Blackthorn, could you please send me the setup (if possible)? Cheers Onkl |

I believe the custom sheet options are global. They appear to be stored under C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\Application Data\Steve Jackson Games\GURPS Character Assistant 4\sheetoptions.ini, not with the individual character files.

You're right, they're global! Thanks!

Re: [Phoenix] How can I copy setups from character to character?
If you need two (o more) sets of options for your Phoenix, just copy and rename the file. GCA only identifies the shet by the filename, so for GCA, they would be two different sheets (I have standard Phoenix with default options, Phoenix without colors or greyscale [since my printer right now doesn't have green or blue ink, an color or shade of grey becomes magenta] and a copy of Phoenix customized for one particular character)

So, the current way to get what you want is to make copies of the character sheet you want to have multiple setups for. You could do this thematically (i.e. have a copy for fantasy/supers/etc or combat oriented vs. non-combat, whatever), per character, or both. Once you've made the copies of the sheet that you'll need, you can either:

When I have the options done, I'll put them someplace you can download them and then post a note here.

Re: [Phoenix] How can I copy setups from character to character?
Actually, I'll just post the options you'll need here. There's not all that much to them, really. To use:
Phoenix (1.31) Combat Oriented Options, Style A: Code:
PhoenixVersion=1.31 PrintBlocks=534773755 PositionBlocks=Wound/Usage Recording|Ancillary Statistics Blocks|Lifting Feats|Encumbrance Table|Defenses|Melee Attacks|Ranged Attacks|Spell Grimoire|Size and Speed/Range Table|Humanoid Hit Location Table|Skills|Techniques|Ritual Magic Paths|Spells|Reaction Modifiers|Cultural Familiarities|Languages|Templates & Meta-Traits|Advantages|Perks|Disadvantages|Quirks|Point Summary|Portrait|Description|Notes|Scratch Pad|Equipment|Load-Out|Campaign Log ForceBlockToP1C2Top=4 ForceBlocksToEnd=3 PageBreaks=536870912 ColumnSwitch=0 WoundUsagePrintCheckboxes=3 DefensesPrintExpandedInfo=3 FootnotesPrintTraitBonuses=2040 FootnotesPrintTraitConditionals=2047 Note 2: Yes, you'll probably be replacing a large amount of options with the small amount here. That's because GCA saves all options to the sheetoptions.ini file, not just the ones that aren't at their default values. I, on the other hand, have only included here the ones that I changed from default. This won't cause any problems.
