Yes. Cut and pasted from the tutorial. There is another eval element with the same settings from the skeleton files.
Code:
<!-- Set the delta for the user value to be the current bonuses NOTE! This is necessary so incrementers have proper values when edited by the user. --> <eval index="1" phase="Render" priority="5000"><![CDATA[ field[trtUser].delta = field[trtBonus].value + field[trtInPlay].value ]]></eval> |

No luck. But hey, you just showed me how to tweak potential timing issues.
This seems to be a problem in the tutorial, something is either missing or it isn't clear on what the user/author should be seeing at that point. Instead it just says it should be working. This was the concept around this thread, I was hoping someone else had made a roadmap of problems in the tutorial since the wiki isn't updated anymore. Since I am going to be going thru the whole thing before starting on my real project maybe I will just chronicle it here. It might help more people in the future. |

I am out of ideas, then. Good luck, though. Hopefully someone else can answer.

I just found this thread started from AndrewD2, who ironically was the first to respond here. The thread has the same exact problem I am having, but changes subject to another issue. I wonder if he got it working...

In the Switching the Display section at the bottom of that wiki page, you applied all the changes there?
The one listed for tab_basics.dat is the one that will control how the display of the traits on the basics tab looks. I think it's just that the wiki is telling you to test your work too early - before you've made all the necessary downstream changes that are required to let your change have an effect. |

Mathias is correct. That is exactly what my comment in my own post meant.

Before going to bed last night (at 4am) I decided to push on and complete that page of the Wiki. I did change all the files as instructed, it works on all the summary windows but still not on the main tab.
Also. Quote:
So where do I fix the above problem? Tab_basics.dat has only the one reference and it has been changed exactly as instructed. As you can see the summary windows are fine. Did something fundamentally change recently in how HL handles display that invalidates something in the tutorial? |

Any ideas? Still haven't been able to fix this.
