[GROUPS] in my custom data file doesn't seem to be working
I've started a couple of games for books that the GCA doesn't have data files for, so I decided to try writing some data files for them. I've run into a small issue where I'm trying to add the Talents from Steampunk 3: Soldiers and Scientists. I've got my talent Aesthete:
Code:
Aesthete, 5/10, gives(+1 To GR:Aesthete), page(9), upto(4), cat(Mundane, Mental, Talents), mods(_Talents),_ conditional(+1 to ST:Reaction), description(Connoisseur, Current Affairs (High Culture and Popular Culture), Public Speaking, Savoir-Faire (High Society), and Writing.) Code:
[GROUPS] <Aesthete> SK:Connoisseur SK:Connoisseur (Dance) SK:Connoisseur (Literature) SK:Connoisseur (Music) SK:Connoisseur (Visual Arts) SK:Connoisseur (Wine) SK:Current Affairs (High Culture) SK:Current Affairs (Popular Culture) SK:Public Speaking SK:Public Speaking (Debate) SK:Public Speaking (Oratory) SK:Public Speaking (Punning) SK:Public Speaking (Rhetoric) SK:Public Speaking (Storytelling) SK:Savoir-Faire (High Society) SK:Writing The file as a whole is Here As an additional question, is there any way to insert a line break or new line into the description of skills? |

Re: [GROUPS] in my custom data file doesn't seem to be working
You can see if the character has the Group and if that Group has the expected skills using the Groups option on the Character menu; then just look for the group in the tree and see.
If you're not seeing it on existing characters, remember that you have to Resynchronize the Groups to get them onto previous created characters. ETA: Also, the descriptions are shown in the Info pane as RTF text, so you can use "\par " as a paragraph break or "\line " as a newline (functionally the same here). The space after the RTF code is important!

Re: [GROUPS] in my custom data file doesn't seem to be working
I just pasted your code into a new file, loaded it in a library with Basic Set, created a new character with it, added Aesthete, and then a bunch of the skills it should apply to, and all seemed to be working as intended.

Thanks, that works perfectly. Once I'm done with the files I write, can I request they get added to the base program, as well as links to their PDFs?

We don't seem to have a book code for Steampunk yet, so we'll have to create one of those, too....

I'm also in the process of writing up a file for Girl Genius and I'm planning on getting Steampunk Conveyances and maybe Classic Steam Tech done (Depending on how long it might take me to get Classic Steam Tech). I don't believe any of them have codes yet

Note that Steam-Tech is a 3rd edition book, and much of the equipment in there was updated to 4th in Steampunk 2.
