20+ Columns Tables

[fabiocm]

Is there a way to create a table with more than 20 columns? I'm needing to create one with 28 columns, but it is impossible, at least in the CoreRPG and MoreCore.

Yes, yes there is.

Hello. This extension allow the creation of tables with any number of rows, but with only one column, or am I wrong?

No, 20 is a limit coded into CoreRPG. You would have to create an extension to add more. The code is in the CoreRPG/campaign/scripts/table_main.lua file, in the setColumns() function. Looks like this.

function setColumns(nColumns)
	local nCurrentColumns = getColumns();
	if nColumns < 1 then
		nColumns = 1;
	elseif nColumns > 20 then
		nColumns = 20;
	end
	if nColumns ~= nCurrentColumns then
		resultscols.setValue(nColumns);
	end
end

Thanks!

Would this extension be hard to write? Maybe I try to learn the basics for this.

Only one way to find out.

Its really hard to say, what might be super simple for one of the FG developers to write, could be nearly impossible for someone who has never worked with lua/xml/fg API before. At first glance, this does seem like a nice, small, first project, but there certainly could be any number of roadblocks that I am unaware of.
