View Full Version : Workflow with linked text files possible?

It's been a while so I'm not sure if things have changed since pre-Unity days, but I was wondering if there was a way, native or 3rd party/plugin, to have a campaign's text content linked to an external file. This is akin to how InDesign can link to an external text file, so that any editorial/content changes can be made to the source file and have the main file auto-update when opened. I plan on having both an FGU and PDF-only option when I'm done creating it.

I ask only because I'd rather cut down on the amount of cutting and pasting across the content source, InDesign, and FGU if possible (cuts down on the potential points for errors). Wishful thinking, I know, but I thought it would be worth asking. Thanks!

No such feature in Unity.

Thanks for the prompt response. I knew it was a long shot, but worth asking. Hopefully I'll find a nice balanced workflow to help reduce the potential for errors.

Note that their is the ability to export a campaign to PDF. It's based on the Character sheet Printer that ddavison did, I think it's also posted by him. I cant find the thread at the moment.

An extension could be made to do this. If this is a strong desire of yours, let me know via PM and we can see what we can accomplish.
