    Hi Vladlock - download notepad++ and also download 7zip.
    Neither are *required* but both will make things a bit easier.

    Download the 5e extension and right click with 7zip and choose extract. Copy the extracted folder to your /extensions directory
    All the files in here are either graphics or openeable with notepad++

    The first file is extension.xml this has the following content...

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
    <root version="3.0">
       <properties>
          <name>Adventurer's League Log</name>
    		<version>1.0</version>
    		<author>BoomerET</author>
    		<description>Adds a tab to the character sheet for tracking AL sessions.</description>
    		<ruleset>
             <name>5E</name>
    		</ruleset>
    	</properties>
    	<base>
          <!-- Scripts -->
          <script name="AL_Log" file="ALlog_chatmsg.lua" />
          
          <!-- Campaign files -->
          <includefile source="campaign/record_char.xml" />
          <includefile source="campaign/template_char-allog.xml" />
          <includefile source="campaign/ref_adventure.xml" />
          <includefile source="campaign/record_adventure.xml" />
          <includefile source="campaign/record_char_log.xml" />
    
          <!-- Icons -->
          <icon name="tab_log" file="graphics/tabs/tab_log.png" />
          
          <!-- Strings -->
          <includefile source="strings/strings_5e-allog.xml" />
          
    	</base>
    </root>
    It has the
    Extension Name
    Author
    Description
    Ruleset (the naming of your ruleset is very important)

    then there next section are other included files -
    ALlog_chatmsg.lua
    campaign/record_char.xml etc

    You will then need to probably start with campaign/record_char.xml and try and work out what it does... (the first thing it does is overwrite the same file in the 5e ruleset and adds the extra tab in)...

    You might find that this is too big an extension to pull off as your first if you havent done anything like this before.
    If that is the case - dont be put off. Have a look at a Theme extension first (https://www.fg-con.com/free-downloads/) and get a feel for how/what the files do and how they are linked.

    And ask questions - but ask specific questions

    Lots of info available here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-PFRPG-ruleset The thread is for 3.5E but it equally applies to 5E - just replace any references to 3.5E with 5E.

    What about just having a game log that the player can add scans of signed chronicle sheets to entry lines?
    So I could have a line for Trouble in Tamran, and then have a link to a PF chronicle scan.
