Ruleset Wizard - The new Ruleset development environment

[psicodelix]

@psicodelix,

Is there any way that we can get RW to output files using tab characters and scripts in the XML like the CoreRPG ruleset?

Here are the XML writer settings from FGU that output in similar format:

        public static XmlWriterSettings GetDefaultWriterSettings()
        {
            return new XmlWriterSettings
            {
                CheckCharacters = false,
                ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Document,
                Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8,
                Indent = true,
                IndentChars = "\t",
                NewLineChars = "\r\n",
                NewLineHandling = NewLineHandling.Replace,
            };
        }

Thanks,

yes, I think I can do it, I will try to include it in the next update.

Is there an example of someone working with Effects and token icons? I am not interested in scripting effects into the CS, the effects I use in the ruleset are very basic (prone, fumble, etc), but I would like the token to show an icon when the effect is drug onto it. (The effect shows on the CT just fine.)

I believe I know well understand how to use "Custom Anchoring" in FW. I've been using it for 3 days now and all is forming up as I expect (I leave the "placeholders" on the WYSIWYG charsheet which each have "advanced templates" and "custom anchoring" and "inherit size/pos" setup)

So, while I have not run into anthing not taken care of by "Custom Anchoring", what is "Advanced Anchoring" there for? Not sure how that comes into play. Again, just curiousity at this point.

What ruleset are you basing on? CoreRPG or 5E or ?

Corerpg.

There are no RSW examples for this. You will need to look into some existing extensions.

Is this in reference to scripts typed into the LUA Code Editor in RW for a control for example? I just did the first of those and without any special workarounds the output xml was:

        <field>name</field>
        <script>function setValue(sTitle)
	if widgetTitle then
		if prefix then
			sTitle = Interface.getString(prefix[1]) .. " - " .. sTitle;
		end
		
		widgetTitle.setText(sTitle);
		updatePosition();
	end
end
</script>
        <readonly />

After I inserted an extra carriage return ont he first line and some 3 tabs before each lua line I got:

        <field>name</field>
        <script>
			function setValue(sTitle)
				if widgetTitle then
					if prefix then
						sTitle = Interface.getString(prefix[1]) .. " - " .. sTitle;
					end
					
					widgetTitle.setText(sTitle);
					updatePosition();
				end
			end
</script>
        <readonly />

It would ROCK (but as it is it works, so low priority) if the tabs/etc you did for your other XML generation was applied to the lua code someone types in the editor:

        <field>name</field>
        <script>
			function setValue(sTitle)
				if widgetTitle then
					if prefix then
						sTitle = Interface.getString(prefix[1]) .. " - " .. sTitle;
					end
					
					widgetTitle.setText(sTitle);
					updatePosition();
				end
			end
		</script>
        <readonly />

Without the extra explicit tabs and without having to insert a blank line.

AGAIN, this might be exactly what Moon is referring to, I just don't yet know the jargon to tell

EDIT: Looking at the code windows the tab expansion is excessive, but that's not my point - as long as it lines up with the rest of the generated XML it would be nicer but not a big deal

The issue I ran into with this is that the code collapsing in some text editors, such as Sublime Text, use the indent level as the guide for collapsing. Due to the lack of indents in the code, the scripts would cause the collapsing to not work, which made it difficult to help people using RSW.

Changes I make to "Project Properties" aren't being reflected in FGU. For example, I have tried to add copyright info to Description and Comments, and neither show up in the chat. Nor do changes to the version number. What am I missing? Do I need to generate a new ruleset file, rather than updating the current one?
