I am not either, but it does have its uses. I just try to avoid final outputs including underscores - i.e. making sure all such traits have their name replaced with #InputToTagReplace or using shortname() to override the final name.

I've just uploaded a file I've been working on. It contains the Character Lenses from p. 17-18 and all the Mutation abilities from p. 26-27. It is meant to be used with both the other two data files:

I've also uploaded RPK's Preliminary file to the GCARepo:
http://www.motoslave.net/gcarepo/view.php?pkgid=185

At some point I'll be consolidating these files with Torg's into one data file, but I've left them separate for the time being so that Torg and I can each continue to work on our own files as needed.

I just encountered a possible problem, albeit an amusing one. I selected the Hulk template, choose the Heavy Gunner specialty, and took LMG as my primary weapon. I then selected Gunner/Machine Gun as a 1 point background skill - it gives me a weapon skill of 148 in Gunner/Machine Gun, and notes it is defaulted from Guns (LMG). On the plus side, with a skill of 148 range modifiers shouldn't be a problem!

This appears to be an issue with the added defaults for Guns & Gunner in RPK's preliminary datafile. I've updated the file in the GCARepo to fix the bug, so if you redownload this should be fixed.

Torg: WOW. I've plugging away just making simple files for years. I just downloaded it.
I am impressed. I just have to go through it and understand it.
Wish me luck.

I'm not on a machine that can easily download and view the file right now, so I'll just ask -- what did I mess up?

Within the default() tag GCA is real picky about skills with name extensions, so you have to put quotes around the skill name (and extension). The original offending lines follow:

Code:

#MergeTags in "SK:Gunner (Machine Gun)" with "default(SK:Guns (Light Machine Gun) - 2)"
#MergeTags in "SK:Guns (Light Machine Gun)" with "default(SK:Gunner (Machine Gun) - 2)"

The corrected lines are here:

Code:

#MergeTags in "SK:Gunner (Machine Gun)" with "default("SK:Guns (Light Machine Gun)" - 2)"
#MergeTags in "SK:Guns (Light Machine Gun)" with "default("SK:Gunner (Machine Gun)" - 2)"

If you start with post #5 in this (http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=142046) thread, you will get a bunch of the information of what is happening.

I will begin Nomad now. I plan to include the rider or driver option.
