Need help with Library project

[Sam Guerra]

reworking the 3.5e/PF library to add in traits, alt traits, and favored class options

this is the layout i am looking for

Library - list race, class, etc (link)
..Races window - list core, featured an uncommon races (with heading, all races are linked)
....Individual race window - list traits, alt traits, and favored class options ( with heading, all traits are linked)
......Traits window - list trait name and description

working in notepad++

i have some script done but i am new so ....

I thought there was already a module that contained the archetypes for the classes floating around someplace. Then again, I could be mistaken..

The basic layouts of what you are attempting to do aren't really that hard. It is only a matter of sinking in some time and looking at an existing module to watch the structure. If I had more time, I'd help you out, but time is coming at a premium for me right now.

If push comes to shove, send me a copy and I'll help make sure everything is properly laid out..

This what i got (minus some duplicate code for other races) this gets me to
the Races window but nothing is listed.

Check in the standard rules library supplied with FG, 3.5e or PF for the correct structure.

For a start, your recordname for humans is incorrect there is no reference.races.humans in your XML - this applies to the XML tag structure, so there is a lists.races.humans entry but that is where the record name entry is, so that won't help.

Take a look at the end of the sample modules in FG, they will have a long list of entries just containing data related to specific types of information - these are the items you reference from your earlier lists.

[Sam Guerra]

Where are these sample modules you speak of?

[Trenloe]

Where are these sample modules you speak of?
The library modules that come with FG. Look in the <FG Application Data Directory>\modules for 3.5E-basicrules.mod or PF-SRD-Basic-Rules.mod

I guess you're already looking at these based off your XML structure already. Make sure you have all of the sections that are there in the standard library module - including formatted text sections so you actually have something to display in the windows the links open.

I've noticed you've added some extra levels that I'm not sure what you're to do - You have lists -> Races -> Groups -> Section001 -> races -> Humans. Remove the extra levels to make it the same as the 3.5E or PF RPG modules.

ok so here is a mod that outlines what i am doing but this is messy(too many links in library) i want the same but in PF basic format. please note i am new at this.
