Is there a basic guide to theme creation anywhere? I am setting up an Advanced Fighting Fantasy ruleset using MoreCore and it is coming on nicely, but there are a few things i would like to change:

I need to change the labels on the Health and Defence fields on the NPC sheet to STAMINA and SKILL

I want to change the appearance of the large buttons

I would like to have a different background



On a separate note, is there any way to make a table output a value that can be dragged? AFF uses damage tables, which i have set up. But when you click on the damage roll and it consults the table, it outputs said damage as a text value. It is no big hardship to manually alter the target STAMINA but it would be even better if you could drag said damage to the target.

Cheers. I have changed the image and buttons, and am still working on changing the NPC field texts. Slightly more difficult!

Look at the various strings in strings\strings_morecore.xml

I'm "guessing" npc_label_defence and npc_label_health are what you're looking for.

I tracked those down when i had 5 minutes, after making a copy of the MoreCore ruleset, but for some reason i couldn't alter the values in that XML file (i am using Notepad++). Do i have to change the permissions on that file?

In Notepad++: Edit -> Clear Read Only Flag.
