Hi, I've looked through the relevant threads here and elsewhere but I'm still slightly confused about custom calendars.
I managed to make a homebrew-specific calendar about a year ago but I can't find it anywhere now that I'm diving back into FG. By "can't find it" I mean I can't find any files in any FG folder with my custom calendar. I assume this is because I baked it into a custom ruleset which I'm not using now (because I want to keep CoreRPG updated and all that).
I.
So, what I want to do is to indeed make a new custom calendar but is it possible to have this as an extension file - just this one calendar - without needing to "bake" it into the full calendars collection? Or does it have to in the calendars file (and if yes, how does the existence of a custom calendar amidst the calendars of Faerun, Greyhawk et al affect any future CoreRPG updates?)
From what I gather the way to go is to modify an existing calendar, by replacing month names etc. which is what I did last year. But what if I want a "clean" calendar without changing an already existing one? (I hope Unity will have a simple in-game UI for creating a calendar..geez).
Not even sure I make sense here..sorry if I don't. Pls talk to me as if I'm twelve and a half.
II.
The prefilled table generator button is a blessing (if hard to find); just a few clicks as opposed to manually typing hundreds of numbers is a much needed improvement. But how do I build a table that rolls 2d10 or 3d10? 1d365?
