OK, I need the assistance of the group, because I'm stumped.
David Brons and I are in the process of completing all of the Inquisitor file updates I've been too lazy to make over the past year . However, one of the requests i've received is to create a "custom weapon" option, so that players can create their own weapons, where one is not available. I think this is a great idea, and am in the process of implementing it. However, I didn't want there to be a 20 page list of options to select, so I'm trying to borrow an idea that I saw in the new 40k chaos file--using the 'tabl' attribute. Specifically, i'm attempting to use 'ztbl', which is the "tweaks" version of 'tabl'. What I'm trying to do is this: For a custom pistol, there is only ever one range for the weapon-- it's either Range A, or Range J, for example. So I want the user to select their range using the 'ztbl' attribute. Looking at the code for the chaos.40k file, I believe I've put the attribute together correctly, and it lets me save it (meaning there are no errors in it). However, I've specified a list of about 20 ranges or so to appear in the table/list--all but one of those "tweak" options are in the "inquisitor.inq" file, while the last one is in the "customweapons.inq" file. When I launch AB to look at what I've created, the tabled tweak/option shows up for "Custom Pistol", but it only has 2 options, and they don't correlate to anything that I've created (they do, somehow--but I don't get it!). So--what am I doing wrong? I've put a folder in the files section, "temporary inquisitor file problem", if you're interested in taking a peek. I can't figure out if it isn't working because some of the tweaks are in "customweapons.inq" and some are in "inquisitor.inq", or because I've keyed the data wrong, or because of some other reason? I believe I've spelled all of the tweaks correctly, and now I'm stumped! Any help is appreciated. To unsubscribe from this group, email armybuilder-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com Your use of Yahoo!

Just a note... I used tables for options (Mark of Chaos etc.). I have also used tables for tweaks, specifically when upgrading a pintle weapon. I have noticed some quirks with ztbl... notably that it won't show your Text description beyond the First 3 characters.... maybe rename the description part of the ztbl (The part before the tweak name) so they are all unique.
It may have been me, but I had an awful time getting ztbl to work. Cheers, "Mike E <ace@madbomber.net>" <ace@madbomber.net> wrote:OK, I need the assistance of the group, because I'm stumped.

Nope, that's what it is doing, exactly--showing the first 3 characters only!
Luckily, for this feature, I think I can fix that. Thanks for the help, and the inspiration in the first place! > >Just a note...
