Hi,
This isn't the code speak group aka List File help or experimental, or developers, so we don't post code snippets here. PDF looks at the base.xml.ftl and then the common_sheets are broken into the blocks, header, skills, etc.
Your issue is you can't easily hardcode things, everything is created by loops. You won't find a Perception skill with an Abbreviation set of WIS. You also won't see a Wisdom ability score. Those values are grabbed from loops that are in the xml, and then placed inside tables for display. You aren't talking about a simple word substitution in a file either. You are talking about some serious editing in several files.
If you are lucky, FACT might work in the stats file and skills file. If so, you'll need to set up your replacement word or abbreviation, then add it to every stat and skill. Then alter the xml file appropriately. If you know what you are doing, it might take you only 15-30 minutes. You'll want to alter the following files: datacontrols.lst, skills.lst, stats.lst, and base.xml.ftl. If you are lucky, that will cover the 2 requests in this last post.
Good luck,
Andrew
Actually I'd like to come back to this topic on outputsheets.
Can nobody tell me which file I need to edit to replace the attributes with either the abbreviation value or hardcode them to show something different?
I just want to replace "WIS" for wisdom with "WE" on the outputsheet in to places:1. attributes table itself2. skill table
It doesnt sound impossible to me, since the output sheet code is open.Can't I even hardcode it somehow (dirty, but for my requirements good enough; I just use Pathfinder)
Similar request then for the other items I did show on the screenshots.
