Creating Tables and Library Entry only
Ok, so I've been tinkering around with modules and then exporting them. I can get them to show up in both the module activation and the library.
The question I have for you all out there is really two-fold.
Can I create a Library entry only - using Client or common shared data when exporting?
I've created a couple of Tables just typing text and data into the story section entry. I get the tables set and looking good, but when I export it comes in all jumbled. Is there anyway to do this without having to resort to xml editing (as I don't even know where to begin there or where to even look to find the data to start editing.)
Thanks for you help in advance.Fantasy Grounds II Ultimate License Holder

Basically, I'm trying to create my own Library References. For example, I own some Dark Sun stuff, so I wanted to add to the OSRIC ruleset the Dark Sun Boxed set for use at the my Digital Table. So that would be created and added as a Library Reference for each of the books from the boxed set.
I've figured out how to pretty much do that as an export adding the images, etc. for creating a module and can get it to show up in my library with the cover. The problem I run into is trying to get is to only show up in the library and Open/Close section for the GM. Additionally, when I do it that way, any table I create gets all messed up. I figure I need to do XML for that. For example if I wanted to create a table for Defiler experience level it never shows up clear it ends up looking like this:
Level Defiler Experience Hit die (d4)
10 80001-121,000 7
Hope this helps to clarify things. Thanks!Fantasy Grounds II Ultimate License Holder

In the XML you'd have something like:
Code:<table> <tr><td><b>Level</b></td><td><b>Defiler</b></td><td><b>Experience</b></td><td><b>Hit die (d4)</b></td></tr> <tr><td>10</td><td>80001</td><td>121,000</td><td>7</td></tr> </table>

To create a table, it does take a little bit of know how in html/xml to get it to work. I am very very limited in my knowledge on how it all works, but typically I can look at a finished xml script and know see how it all fits together.
Also, who do you want to see the information when it is formed into a library folder? Here is some information to keep in mind.

Thanks for that, it should help. I found a couple of others in the Castles & Crusades and Labyrinth Lord stuff now that I can look at the XML programing.
Is there a way to simply do a Table in Fantasy Grounds without having to resort to XML?Fantasy Grounds II Ultimate License Holder

Code:<root> <name>Dark Sun</name> <author>-</author> <ruleset>OSRIC</ruleset> </root>
The end result looks like this.

As far as I know, that is the best way to make a table. You could try to use the "story" icon, creating a new entry and just try typing it out as best you can. Then sharing it with the party by right clicking and clicking share.Last edited by cpbs; April 16th, 2010 at 19:24.
