Star Wars: Edge of the Empire - Library modules

[Trenloe]

For some reason "’" keeps being inserted into my code where I put an apostrophe? Can the code not display an apostrophe as is?

Don't use a curved apostrophe, use the straight apostrophe - ASCII code 39: https://www.theasciicode.com.ar/asci...i-code-39.html

Keep in mind that FG doesn't use Unicode characters, it uses a subset of 8-bit ASCII. If you're manually creating XML make sure that you set the encoding in your text editor to ANSI not UTF-8.

The "<order type="number">01</order>" code I have been trying to use doesn't seem to work for me. I assume it so that you can specify a specific order they appear in.
This is what it currently looks like
Order.PNG
I am trying to rearrange what order they appear in the list and thought it was pretty self explanatory, only it doesn't seem to work.
My code for it looks like this:

<padded>
<link type="windowreference">
<class>item</class>
<recordname>library.items.entries.armour.entries.p added@Genesys (Pathfinder) Player Library</recordname>
</link>
<name type="string">Padded</name>
<value type="string">50</value>
<rarity type="string">2</rarity>
<encumbrance type="number">2</encumbrance>
<hardpoints type="number">1</hardpoints>
<armour>
<defence type="number">1</defence>
<soak type="number">0</soak>
</armour>
<order type="number">01</order>
</padded>

<leather>
<link type="windowreference">
<class>item</class>
<recordname>library.items.entries.armour.entries.l eather@Genesys (Pathfinder) Player Library</recordname>
</link>
<name type="string">Leather</name>
<value type="string">50</value>
<rarity type="string">2</rarity>
<encumbrance type="number">2</encumbrance>
<hardpoints type="number">1</hardpoints>
<armour>
<defence type="number">0</defence>
<soak type="number">1</soak>
</armour>
<order type="number">02</order>
</leather>

There is no <order> field in the armor listing in the example library module in post #1.

<order> wasn't implemented for Armor in the Star Wars ruleset - basically because the armor table in the Edge of the Empire rulebook was in alphabetical order, so there was no need to override the base FG alphabetical ordering.

Been trying to add in info for my groups use... and somewhere I messed up badly...

Database Error: A XML parse error occurred processing file Star Wars Player Library:db.xml - Error on line 3910: Error reading end tag.
Runtime Notice: s'chatmanager.lua: sendSpecialMessage - msgtype = refreshactorlist'
Ruleset Warning: chat: Could not find icon ()
Runtime Notice: s'chatmanager.lua: sendSpecialMessage - msgtype = refreshdestinychits'
Runtime Notice: s'chit.lua: handleRefreshdestinyChits() window.getClass() = lightsidechit'
Runtime Notice: s'chatmanager.lua: sendSpecialMessage - msgtype = refreshdestinychits'

Runtime Notice: s'chit.lua: handleRefreshdestinyChits() window.getClass() = darksidechit'
Ruleset Warning: chat: Could not find icon (tool_layers_30)

Anyone got any idea what I did wrong? And yes, Im a happy noob who really dont know what Im doing...

Welcome Akumashe

Start by checking xml tags on lines 3909-3911 in db.xml
Then use an XML checker to make sure all the tags are good.

[Akumashe]

Got back to the original, copied my changes over a chunk at a time and test ran it, til the error came back, then started over at a smaller chunk of that part, rince repeat... found the fault to be -somewhere- in my attempt to put in a training lightsaber... threw that out for now and the rest works. Which is much preferably to nothing atall working
So, now I know where the error is, next step is to try and understand what I did wrong there but the main headache is past.

Thanks for the tip damned, though I solved it a slightly different way

If you post the offending xml, I am sure one of us can tell you the problem.

[Akumashe]

Afraid it seems I removed the offending part, instead of copying it into the new part (ops), so for this time its gona (which is double bad cause now I cant learn from it atall), if I run into new problems, I will be sure to keep copies so I can ask more properly (and hopefully then learn so I dont have to ask again).

[Trenloe]

Your best bet is to learn the basics of XML tags (opening, closing, etc.) and to run your XML through a XML syntax validator, or use a text editor that has XML syntax validation build in. For example, Notepad++ with the XML plugin.

Ok, coming over from Savage Worlds where its fairly simple to create your own library modules. Is there a way to do that with Star Wars without being a programmer?
