aListViews

Morning All (midnight + 10 mins here),

Been adding Vehicles to the Traveller ruleset, got that all done nicely.

However there is a lovely 'Vehicles by Type' button on the Vehicles frame.

That too is ace, but the columns need changing.

So I found the:


aListViews = {
["vehicle"] = {
["bytype"] = {
sTitleRes = "vehicle_grouped_title_bytype",
aColumns = {
{ sName = "name", sType = "string", sHeadingRes = "vehicle_grouped_label_name", nWidth=200 },
{ sName = "tl", sType = "number", sHeadingRes = "vehicle_grouped_label_tl", sTooltipRes="vehicle_grouped_tooltip_tl", bCentered=true },
{ sName = "speed", sType = "string", sHeadingRes = "vehicle_grouped_label_speed", sTooltipRes="vehicle_grouped_tooltip_speed", nWidth=100, bCentered=true },
{ sName = "cost", sType = "string", sHeadingRes = "vehicle_grouped_label_cost", nWidth=80, bCentered=true },
},
aFilters = {},
aGroups = { { sDBField = "type" } },
aGroupValueOrder = {},
},
},
};

Which is also ace, but the aListViews is not being picked up, it's using the CoreRPG default values.

How do I go about telling the ruleset to use my version?

This is the last piece I need to solve, so any help would be greatly received.

Cheers,
MBM

From personal experience, you need to override the xml template that invokes the script to load your version.

Look at 3.5E ruleset in the scripts/data_library_35E.lua file. The file contains custom list views for 3.5E, and the onInit function calls LibraryData.setListView which is used to add/overwrite the existing views.

If you want to remove an existing view, use LibraryData.setListView(kRecordType, kListView, nil)

Thanks for the response. I did try overriding the loading scripts - but had no joy.

Morning Chap, thanks for that, I will do exactly that.

Edit: Worked nicely, cheers! :


for kRecordType,vRecordListViews in pairs(aListViews) do
for kListView, vListView in pairs(vRecordListViews) do
LibraryData.setListView(kRecordType, kListView, vListView);
end
end
