Moving Campaign Log from one character to another?
I'll skip the story of how I managed to do this, but I have somehow managed to add the Campaign Log information for one of my players into the character sheet for another one.
Short of printing both logs, deleting all entries, and then retyping everything. Is there a way to isolate the Campaign Log part of a .gca4 file and paste it into another .gca4 file? Has anyone attemted anything similar? Thanks for any help you can provide. |

Re: Moving Campaign Log from one character to another?
It's fairly easy. Open up the character save file in a text editor, notepad if you don't have anything better, and search for the [Campaign] section and, more specifically, the [LogEntry] sections. They'll look similar to the following:
Code:
[Campaign] name(),basepoints(275),disadlimit(-80),quirklimit(-5),basetl(9),loggedpoints(10),otherpoints(0),totalpoints(10) [LogEntry] date(199X-XX-XX),campaigndate(),charpoints(10),caption(Character Creation) {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 MS Sans Serif;}{\f1\fswiss MS Sans Serif;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs17 +5 points for picture, +5 for background story\f1 \par } [LogEntry] date(2009-10-01),campaigndate(),charpoints(0),caption(caption text, nyerk) {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 MS Sans Serif;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs17 notes text, nyerk \par }

Re: Moving Campaign Log from one character to another?
Thank you.
When I skimmed through the file I completely missed the [Campaign] header. Maybe I'll have more luck now that I know what to look for (or more likely what ctrl-f will be looking for). Thanks again. |
