How do I create a new Source ID category?
I'm wanting to update older material to SR5 so I can run earlier eras than the late 2070s on.
How do I create a new Source ID category like Core Rulebooks, Advanced Rules, Supplements, and such using the Editor? |
Is this even possible?

The editor can't do this - you'll need to edit the xml files directly in order to set this up. Here's the wiki page about creating <source> elements that describes the syntax: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index.php5?title=Source_Element_(Data)
So you'll define a new source with selectable="no". Once you've done so, reload SR, and now, in the editor, that new source will be available to use as a parent source - the child sources can be defined within the editor as usual - just select the new thing you created as the parent of your new source. |
Fair notice, the board does not include the closing parenthesis for some reason when creating the link, but it's an easy fix when following the URL. :) Here.

Thanks, Duggan - I thought I had gotten that fixed this time, but I didn't actually test my link.

Oh, yeah, and the file you put this in should have the .1st extension. Jobe00_houserules.1st, for example.
The forum doesn't like attaching .1st files, so I've copied out everything from one of the new sources files in the PF1 community pack: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> |
So there's no easy way to create a custom user source like you can in D&D?
|
Simply creating the source is easy, and happens the same way as in 5e - in the editor, in the sources list on your item (which is near the bottom of any editor tab), just create a new source. The question here was how to create a header that groups several of these user-created sources into a collapsible header. This question and answer actually apply to all the games, so the same in 5e as in SR5.
