[Pcgen-team-code] [JIRA] Updated: (NEWTAG-240) BODYSTRUCTURE Tokens in equipslot file

[JIRA (f. T. P. ) <ji...@pc...>]

     [ http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/NEWTAG-240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tom Parker updated NEWTAG-240:
------------------------------

    Description: 
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   <> COUNT:1
BODYSTRUCTURE:HANDS  <>  COUNT:2
BODYSTRUCTURE:TORSO  <>  COUNT:1
BODYSTRUCTURE:LEGS  <>  COUNT:2
BODYSTRUCTURE:SHIELD  <> COUNT:1

These items appear on separate lines.  <> represents a tab

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)
