Text files from GCA

How do get GCA to create text files. I've done this with GCA previously but don't remember how. Any help would be appreciated.

File - Export

You have your choice of output format, including plain text.

Thanks for the info. How do you add languages? John

If you choose the text layout.gce , there is a Social background section with Language, CF and TL.

Quote:

Social Background
TL: 3 [0].
CF: CF:Issaurie [1]; CF:Roman Empire (Native) [0].
Languages: Armenian (Broken/None) [1]; Greek (Native/Literate) [0]; Latin (Accented) [4]; Persian (Broken/None) [1]; Sanskrit (Accented) [4]; Thrace (Broken/None) [1].

Another solution is to print to pdf using the export filter .gcs , and then copy/paste from the pdf ?
That way, you will get equipement and combat stats that don't appear in the text export.

So there's no way to put in this information while your creating the character? Don't extra languages cost points? Thank's again for helping me. I'm not as familiar with the 4th edition as i was with the 3rd.

Sorry, I misunderstood and though you were speaking of languages in the text export.

To add language to a character :

Select the tab "Advantages" (bottom of the window )

Select the category "language" (or subset "language spoken" or "language written" ) (the field should be just below the 2 row of icons and start with the value "All categories")

You can now add/remove language to the character.
Native one start at the highest level (for free)
Non-native one start at the broken level. You may raise/lower the level with the 2 arrows next to "Edit", bottom right

This is the same principle for everything :)

There are other ways to get the same result, like clicking on the advantage header in the quickview.

Have fun !
