Alright... I have plugging in almost all of Mercenary Breed and have asked practically no questions. And, dangit, I _really_ hate to ask this one but I am stumped by a minor cosmetic issue...
I am plugging in ranged weapons. I want all of the Mercenary Breed stuff to appear away from commonly establish gear since it will work better. Anyhow, while it does appear away from other gear, it only shows one label - I cannot create discrete groupings of weapons Quote:
Everything that I am adding appears at the top of the selection list under "Mercenary Breed Rifles" and then shows up in alphabetical order. There is no group of pistols, or MGs, or rifles - everything is failing to honor the weapon groups that they have been assigned to. What is going on? |

I don't believe you can just create new categories for things like weapons, you have to appropriate existing ones and use the separator to delineate them on the printout/list view. It's covered in the 2nd post on the Common Code Examples thread, but it's a bit convoluted because it's kind of a convoluted method, but essentially you would appropriate a category you are not using otherwise, say "Special: Rocket Launchers". You'd set one of your categories, such as MBR Pistols, to actually be "Special: Rocket Launchers" but preclude the separator entry for "Special: Rocket Launchers" and create a new one for "- Mercenary Breed Pistols -". Then every MBR Pistol create is still tagged as "Special: Rocket Launchers" but will be grouped under the heading of Pistols you created.

Ah, my expectations were different from reality. Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction, Zarlor!

Yeah, I used Zarlor's method in my Broken Earth file. It works, but its not in any way intuitive.
