Custom tab

[Minous]

How w would one go about creating a new tab and with checkboxes/counters ?

If talking 100% custom tab you have to create the UI components yourself in XML. I would recommend looking over Savage Tide game system as it comes with full .dat files that you can view and modify.

If you are talking about a simple new tab like you see often for Feats or Archetypes I recommend looking at the "Configurable" tab in the editor.

Yeah Im looking for the functionality of how the feats do it. Ill take a look at the Configurable tab. Im looking to implement the PFS Faction Journal Cards checkboxes/counters with a new tab for each season. All I want is a simple way to throw in a text box with a counter and a notes field. (see the bottom half of the attacked image for what I am referring to)

Where does one define a new abCategory ? Im looking to use that for controlling what appears on the new tab (I think)

I usually define them on a mechanic. So that they are all in the same location. But really you can define them on any Thing in HL. The mechanic just makes a nice central place.

In example here is the Ultimate Psioincs mechanic in the community pack. As can be seen I have a bunch of different tags being defined.

Note: This works because the "Group" (abCategory.?) was defined in a .1st file with "dynamic" allowing new tags to be created in .user files.

Ok, I am actually making quite a bit of progress. I am using the custom ability tab to create the items included, which is working. However I want to include a number of charges/tracker for the item, but it should only be listed on that tab not the in-play tab. Any pointers?

EDIT:
Located Helper.Increment so now just need to play around a bit further.

Is there a way to show X/MAX for the Helper.Increment instead of just X ?

Minous, would you mind sharing your work? I would also like the ability you are talking about.

Once I get it beyond my poor excuse at what you might call coding I was going to submit it to the community pack.

I admit I am not 100% sure either way.

Either Arron or Mathias will answer. Or if you can email the .user file your working with I can take a look. Its SO MUCH easier/faster for me to just see and work with a .user file.
