View Full Version : immediate Help, Export Template with "Display" Fields?

Hi, this is very last minute, have to print these in the next hour...never realized that all of the tempaltes I can see, anyway, do NOT export the field labeled "Display" for skills and powers. Is there a template I'm missing? I hope so...

Example:

Have a skill level skill that says:

Name: (blank)
Display: Skill Levels with Theft-related
Options: with a group of similar skills

All the export templates I've tried just output "+2 with a group of similar skills"

I realize I should just change the entry, but want to avoid having to go back and redo a whole bunch of characters. The only time I ever print is for con games, and last time I did run into it but only after the fact, when we saw some of the results on the page. I didn't realize, though, that this was going to be elusive, I just figured I needed to pick "just some different template."

Please advise, thanks.

How do you want the line to appear?

I want what's in the "Display" field to show in the export. I don't care if it's redundant. But none of the exports that I tried showed the "Display" field.

Where do you want it to show? Give me a sample line based on the above. The problem is that the '+#' is part of TEXT and the other is DISPLAY.

I must not be explaining myself well. I don't care where it shows. I just want it to show at all. I tried the 3-column export, the writer's guide PDF version, the hero boards version of output, and a couple others. None show what's in that field at all, anywhere.

I'll check later for future reference, I don't have time now to mess with it anymore, I'm just going to have to go through and copy "display" to the "name" field to print stuff out.

I'm going to assume that you want "Display: Text". Here is the template you can use.

Does that serve your need? Do you need it added elsewhere?

Which particular sheet do you want? Do you mind HTML docs?

Here is my shot at it.

Thanks guys a lot! Rep will be served, whether it works or not, but I have to board the plane now. I resolved to just do the printing at the hotel since they have a business center and I verified they have printing there. (PS not to give the wrong idea, everything else is printed, just a few character sheets are left)

It turns out to be osme sort of inherent thing with skill enhancers. Neither template worked. But it's only skill enhancers, everything else shows the Display field as you'd expect. Since it's just that, I worked around it manually. But I really thank you both for the help.

No problem. Any time.
