Can't create new Snippet Types in a categorie

[lordarcheron]

Hi,

I am having the problem that I can't create new Snippet Types in one of my categories. Protection is removed.
Is there maybe a limit of how many snippets I can have per category?
The one I am talking about has around 100 snippets.
I can't even reorder/sort the snippets there anymore.

Jeez sounds like a large topic

Its the category for Individuals.
But not every NPC has been filled out to the maximum.

I thought I had made a very extensive Individual category but I do get nowhere close to 100 snippets....

Besides, I made a new category (brilliantly named "Individual 2") and hid the default category. I am too much of a wuss to mess with the default categories.

Could it be that the GUI is not too happy about handling too many snippets? I seem to remember something along those lines with the navigation pane - not really sure though.

The default individual category has a lot of snippets. I have a lot of trouble imagining needing much more than that. Who could ever fill out 100 snippets on even most of their NPC's?

I just duplicated the 100-snippets-category. The duplicated one can be edited (adding/moving snippets).

Hard to explain how I end up using that much for the Individual, wish I could show those here. But most snippets are in German and like:
"How much religious?", "Religiously tolerant?", "Religious Role", "Does he Missionize?". Just to name a few entries from the Religion section.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have a Religion section with only the most basic snippets by default? Stuff like Faith? Anything else can be added for NPC's that need it. The rest it isn't just a lot of blank space.

Yes, I know its a mess and need to be cleared up, mostly because on average my NPCs has only about 20-30% of all their snippets filled up.

Religion has its own section and its snippets are, let me see (I have them in German, so I hope I translated them right)...:
- Deity (tag)
- Religious community (tag. Like: church, cult, sect,...). I am not sure if I better handle that snippet in the deity topics.
- Intensity of faith (1-10)
- Tolerance against other faiths (1-10)
- Attitude towards own religion (tag, Like: fearful, exstatic, submissive,...)
- Missionate others? (1-10)
- Religious Role (tag. Like: Disciple, Follower, Priest, Holy Warrior, Inquisitor,...)
- Empty text snippet for notes

If religion plays a major part I can see how it would be a help.

I have a lot of snippets basically helping me to remember to write things like the eye colour, BTL, likes, dislikes, fears, background, motivation and stuff like that.
