[Extension] Setting Maker Tweaks
While making a few campaign setting, I learned that there are various things missing. Small things, but they require editing db.xml by hand, digging through xml to find things, and multiple layers to click through in the UI.
If you're new to creating settings, you don't know about these things until you hit problems.
I decided to create this extension to save time for those who write campaign settings.
It's on the Forge here.
I'm still working on this and expanding it. I welcome ideas and feedback.
Here's what's in the first release.
Arcane Backgrounds and the AB Edges that unlock them must be linked. That link doesn't show up anywhere in the UI and must be hand written in db.xml. If you don't know about that, it won't set up the AB on the character sheet when you drop the AB on the Main tab.
I added links between an AB and an AB Edge. I also thought the Arcane Skill should be a link, so I added that too. Just drag and drop, and it will link them and write the "secret" nodes in db.xml for you.

Speaking of secret nodes, there's
Code:
<catname type="string"></catname>
on numerous records. That field is used for listing, sorting, and grouping weapons, gear, vehicles, etc. It doesn't display in the UI anywhere. With this extension, it does.
