View Full Version : description for referenceindex under core?

Hi!

As part of my Project: Zombicide I am converting the rulesbook into a module. It's simple enough, but one thing has baffled me: When I use the referenceindex class, the links come out fine, but the content of the description tag isn't shown (as it would be under the Savage Worlds ruleset):


<afa_basics>
<librarylink type="windowreference"><class>referenceindex</class><recordname>..</recordname></librarylink>
<name type="string">5. Basics</name>
<description type="formattedtext">
<h>Useful Definitions</h>
<p>Actor: A Survivor or Zombie</p>
<p>Zone: Inside a building, a Zone is a room. On the Street a Zone is the area between two pedestrian crossings and the walls of buildings along the street. A single Zone may extend over two tiles or even four tiles</p>
</description>
<index>
<sub01>
<listlink type="windowreference">
<class>referencetext</class>
<recordname>library.zombicide.entries.afb_lineofsight@Zombicid e</recordname>
</listlink>
<name type="string">Line of Sight</name>
</sub01>
</index>
</afa_basics>

The text doesn't show either when I try to rename "description" to "text".

Is this feature simply not implemented for the core rules? Is there any other way I can achieve showing the text plus the list?

You are better off using the referencetext window class to represent text plus links. Just place all the data in the formatted text field.

The referenceindex class is only a filtered list class. No text area.

Ah, thanks. This seems to be a major difference between the Core and the SW ruleset.
