Category: Output Sheet New Formatting >Group: For 5.16.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: David R. Bender (papa_drb) Assigned to: Chuck Pint (chuckpint) Summary: [PDF] Combine the three Double Weapon blocks into one Initial Comment: Moved from PCGenDocs - OS FREQs [ 1210869 ] [PDF] Combine the three Double Weapon blocks into one -------- Using PCGen 5.8 and csheet_fantasy_std_blue.xslt. I have a quarterstaff equipped as a double weapon. I am carrying a light crossbow. The crossbow is displayed on the second page along with the other equipment, but I think it makes more sence to put it with the weapon stats on the first page. This is what the html output sheet does as well. --------- Submitted by Anders E.

I simply commented out one of the weapon tags, so it is really a dirty hack. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-30 12:35 Sender: ellenshoej Logged In: YES user_id=1119886 I just realized I missed an important point. The second block already has ALL the necessary info! It is the one that gets marked "Head 1 only". All that needs to be done is to turn off the first and third block, so there is room for the ranged weapon block. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-30 11:07 Sender: ellenshoej Logged In: YES user_id=1119886 I just want to make sure that this point isn't missed. Sorry if I repeat myself. The html output already seems to have this, except it doesn't work properly. I have uploaded a screenshot which shows the html output. Here the quarterstaff is held in both hands, not as a double weapon. The output shows only one block with fields for both standard two handed attack and double weapon attack. The double weapon fields just shows "N/A". ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 21:36 Sender: eddyanthony Logged In: YES user_id=886893 At any rate this is not a bug as this is currently the expected behaviour of how the program is set up to work. Condencing the Double weapon block into one block is something which can be looked at but it would be a feature request. I'm going to change the title and move this to feature requests. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 15:31 Sender: ellenshoej Logged In: YES user_id=1119886 The html output has both two handed and double weapon stats in one block. Unfortunately the double weapon stats are quoted as "N/A". Couldn't the block be modified to display both types of stats at the same time? ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 15:14 Sender: eddyanthony Logged In: YES user_id=886893 You may just be out of luck. The PDF is limited to three weapon blocks because three of the largest weapon blocks is all that will fit on the page. If your weapon blocks are smaller than the largest one there are then you will see some unused space at the bottom. Unfortunately with the way PCGen is set up for out put there is no way for it to know how much room the blocks will take which is why it is set to the arbitrary number of three weapons blocks. The HTML sheet does not have this issue as it does not have to deal with the problem of dividing things up to fit them on a page because a web page is not constrained to a specific size. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 14:51 Sender: ellenshoej Logged In: YES user_id=1119886 But in that mode, there are no stats at all for using the quarterstaff as a double weapon. Only the standard two handed attack is displayed. I need the double attack as it is my primary attack form for my character. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 13:56 Sender: eddyanthony Logged In: YES user_id=886893 If you equip the Quarterstaff in "Both Hands" instead of in "Double Weapon" PCGen will only use one block to display the weapon instead of three. The three double weapon block display is usefull if the two heads of the double weapon are signifigantly different or have different enhancments, for a weapon like the Quarterstaff the three block set up is redundant and you can save space by equipping in both hands. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 13:43 Sender: ellenshoej Logged In: YES user_id=1119886 I want the quarterstaff first on the page, and the crossbow after that. There is plenty of room for it. I tried moving the order around like you suggested, but then a part of the quarterstaff info is moved to the second page. I have attached the pdf file. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Date: 2005-05-29 13:20 Sender: ericbeaudoin Logged In: YES user_id=324612 Each page display the first 3-5 weapons in the equipement list. The number depends on the type of weapons (some have more lines then others). Change the item ordering in the first inventory tab to select the weapon you want on the first page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=748297&aid=1411297&group_id=25576 |
