BODYSTRUCTURE Tokens in equipslot file
--------------------------------------

                 Key: NEWTAG-240
                 URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/NEWTAG-240
             Project: New Tag
          Issue Type: New Token
          Components: GameMode Tag
            Reporter: Tom Parker


The equipslots Game Mode file currently has a NUMSLOTS line, which appears like:
NUMSLOTS:DEFAULT	HEAD:1	HANDS:2	TORSO:1	LEGS:2	SHIELD:1

This particular line causes a loading exception, because we cannot predict the names of the items appearing before the colon.  This creates custom code for us. I would like to propose an alternative syntax:

BODYSTRUCTURE:HEAD=1
BODYSTRUCTURE:HANDS=2
BODYSTRUCTURE:TORSO=1
BODYSTRUCTURE:LEGS=2
BODYSTRUCTURE:SHIELD=1

These items appear on separate lines.

This syntax will work in parallel with the NUMSLOTS based syntax while the transition is made.  (At some point the converter will support game mode files - not sure if I will reach that in 6.0 or not, but the point is that before NUMSLOTS is declared deprecated, we will be able to automatically convert this syntax change)
