A couple of questions and a possible bug?

[TCArknight]

Howdy! Have a couple of things that have come up lately that could use some help with.

1) I haven't been able to figure this out. I'm creating a new sub-setting for Cortex but would like to not have any of the base Cortex Weapons/Armor/Gear appear when I select the setting (I'd like to create all the gear myself). Is there a way to do that?

2) When I try to duplicate the Serenity core settings for my SS&S files, none of the base traits, skills, etc appear. How can I fix that?

3) Similar to the above, what do I need to change when I duplicate the Serenity setting for use with die-based traits instead of the minor/major trait levels?

4) As a side note, when I'm creating a Cortex character and open the Armory page to add a new weapon, any of the weapons with a D4W rating are listing as D4/minorW and those with a D8W rating are showing as D8/MajorW. I know it's just a display issue on the selection, but it would be nice to have just the dice displayed.

Thanks!
