Item compatibility between rulesets

[Myrdin Potter]

If you changed the ruleset to "all" in the XML, could you open parcels and items made using the 5e ruleset in other rulesets, or are the item records too different?

[Moon Wizard]

The data structure of item records is completely defined by each ruleset.

If they are derived from CoreRPG, then they might share name, identified state and description; but nothing else.

Any data that didn't match the ruleset data fields would be inaccessible; and any new fields defined in ruleset not matching the data would always be empty.

Also, if rulesets use the same field name with different data types, you could even have lots of interface errors as controls would not be created that didn't match.

That is what I thought. I am converting a "system neutral" table product that has some treasure tables and I was hoping I could add in the parcel and item to make it more FG complete but it thought it might fail there ...

Oh well.
