I'm looking into Fantasy Grounds for a couple specific projects. I understand that I need to create a set of XML files for a custom rules set and this will require a character sheet in PNG format. I've also done a lot of work on a custom character sheet for the game I want to run (Tribe 8). The sheet is located here: https://www.rivetgeek.net/downloads/t8_character_sheet.pdf

My question is: how useful would this sheet be "as is"? I have the original PNG files I used to generate it (it's 4 separate images).

Looking at it, it looks like your right around the proper size for the character sheet. You'll need to add some tabs on one side to be able to cycle through the different sheets. The only other thing that stands out would be removing the cirlcle and square checkboxes on the last page from the base png file. These will be added later using code and seperate checkbox png icons.

However, this is if your going to be using FG1 for your ruleset. FG2, when it's released, handles character sheets differently.

I actually started redesigning the PNG from scratch to take advantage of the increased real estate from tabs. So far things are going pretty well except for one snag, I'll start a new thread about that.
