(I made the title more generic to not “waste” topic space ;) I figure if I or anyone else has stringcontrol-related questions, we can reuse the topic.)
I am trying to learn how to create rulesets so I started with CoreRPG and am layering on parts using AD&D (& 5e) and 3.5 to help me see how it is done.
I am working now on just creating a character sheet with one main tab where I have standard SIWDCCh stats and HP-related data to start. Using the layout of AD&D to help me do an initial UI since I like how that was based on 5e.
I was entering the “stringc_charclasslevel” template and came to “linesoffset” tag. I see it has a ‘mergerule=“replace” - while typing this I came to understand why this was...what it was replacing, it was setting default=“on”
This wasn’t self-evident due to the naming, but I get it now, the lineoffset is an UNDERLINE controlgraphic. It is by default not enabled/visible.
OK - leaving this question in case that helps anyone. Plus, in order to help me as I come across templates, could you explain the naming system employed in this? Sometimes knowing the Hungarian prefixes helps me suss things out.
“stringc_” the string part probably for string control. Damn, I answered everything only once I typed the question. The “c” part I thought to be a hungarian prefix, it was instead likely shortened from “control” - I am unsurprisingly verbose in variable and method naming (especially since I RARELY ever used vi to code other than minor edits, so there is easy cut and paste as well as code-completion so it set my habits and helps me document via code)
— Admin, erase this if the info is too obvious to anyone in this thread already. Otherwise, next stringcontrol question if I have any I will use this thread —
