Interactive Quick View

Tolt2k · 04-03-2009, 11:08 AM

I have just reinstalled GCA fresh not long ago (with updates) and I'm finding that Quick view only displays a static Character Sheet as opposed to an interactive one. Other characters that I have saved will display the interactive one on the quick view tab but new ones will not.
Is there something I changed accidentally or is my current install bugged?

The default QuickView should allow some level of interaction, such as being able to click into the ST or DX box and changing the value there, or clicking on a skill and adjusting the level of the skill. This behavior should not matter whether it's a new character or a previously saved character.

Having said that, it is possible to change the sheet used in the QuickView, in Options > Default Character Options > Default QuickView Sheet to a sheet that does not support any interaction at all, so you might want to check there to be sure you're either using a valid interactive sheet (such as Phoenix), or the selection is blank (which will use the built-in sheet mentioned in the first paragraph).

Your saved characters will usually be using whatever QuickView they were saved with, which you can adjust on the Current Character Options tab of Options.

That was it! The default quick view was changed (must have changed it at some point). I was able to switch it back. All is good.

Thank you!
