Module Crafting

[kwarner1986]

I tried to dig for help, but can't find anything in this section. I'm trying to create my own modules for my games. How does one go about making sub sections when exporting custom modules.

Example:

Trying to create my own monster manual

This what I currently get:
Dire Rats
Giant ****roach
Skeleton
Zombie

What I like to get is:
Undead

Skeleton
Zombie

Vermin

Dire Rat
Giant ****roach

Right-Click on the tab banner at the bottom of the NPC window and add a new tab. You can also use the menu there to change colors and icons for the tab. Then, type "Undead" into the chat box, and instead of hitting enter, drag and drop this onto one of the tabs to create a label for it. Do the same with "Vermin" for the other tab. Drag and drop your monsters into the appropriate tab. When you export as a module, they will get loaded into the actual campaign(s) with the appropriate tabs created for you.

If you want to do a bunch, then rather than doing a bunch of tabs, create a story entry, type the heading "Undead", then drag and drop the NPC links under it, then another heading for "Vermin" and drag and drop the links for those under there, etc...

Neat learned something new, but still not quite what I was looking for.

I was hoping to get Undead and Vermin to pop up on the Library Image instead of Personalities.

In image 2 (personalities), I was wanting just undead to show up instead of everything.

I am not sure the ability to have sub headers in the personality tab like that is possible, at the very minimum not with out editing the the XML file directly - if even then.

You can't do what you want to do by means of exporting from within FG. You would need to create it externally as a reference; and even then I'm not terribly sure about Pathfinder Stuff but par5e can certainly do the indexing thing in 5e.

[Mortar]

It could be done externally for Pathfinder, it would require some hefty XML editing.

This is the closest you can come without directly dorking with the XML...
