Coding Help: Make new tab in inventory area

[dberkompas]

Open up leperchan5/strings/strings_common.xml and add the following line right before common_mundane

<string name="common_leperchan5">Leperchan5</string>


In charsheet/charsheet_inventory.xml, add the following before notes_button section:

<button_inventorytab name="leperchan5_button">
<labelres>common_leperchan5</labelres>
</button_inventorytab>


Further down, after notes_sub, add the following:

<subwindow_inventory name="leperchan5_sub">
<class>inventoryleperchan5_subwindow</class>
</subwindow_inventory>


We'll be finishing up here very shortly.

Finally, in charsheet/charsheet_inventory_leperchan5.xml:

Replace inventorynotes_subwindow with inventoryleperchan5_subwindow

The whole file should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<root>
<windowclass name="inventoryleperchan5_subwindow">
<sheetdata>
<label_char_center>
<static>Leperchan5 Tab</static>
</label_char_center>
<stringfield name="shortnotes">
<anchored position="over" offset="-20,-9">
<top offset="42" />
</anchored>
<multilinespacing>20</multilinespacing>
<font>sheettextsw</font>
<lineoffset default="on">-2</lineoffset>
</stringfield>
<scrollbar>
<anchored to="shortnotes"/>
<target>shortnotes</target>
</scrollbar>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>
</root>


Save everything. If you're already in Savage Worlds, and have the extension enabled, just type /reload, and you should see the new tab.

Nothing fancy, just a place for text.

Alternatively you could check attached sampler extension. It's highly recommended to utilize merge-rules instead of including codes from SavageWorlds ruleset, this would allow you to evade extensions getting broken when the ruleset is updated, and if something is broken, it's less maintenance work to keep it up.

Sweeeet, thanks Ikael.

Wow, this will save a lot of time. Thanks everyone!
