Hi Fitz,

I am an ardent fan of your flowing text character sheet export template. I recently discovered, however, that if the Strength is over an as yet undetermined amount, the encumbrance calculations get wonky.

I was wondering if you could let me know how to fix it?

I've attached the modified export templates i use and the character that is having the issues.

You need to use the attribute:

<!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->
This will get you the raw lift value. That's what I did for my export formats.

Ok, if this is the section that he has arranged for the encumbrance determination...where would I put the function you mentioned?

<!--STR-->
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="5" class="sectionheading">Encumbrance</td></tr>
<tr><th rowspan="7">Equipment Carried:<br><span style="font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt;"><!--TOTAL_CARRIED--></span></th><th>Total Weight Carried</th><th>DCV/AGI Roll</th><th>Move</th><th>END/Turn</th></tr>
<tr><td>Up to <!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.1<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-0</td><td>&mdash;</td><td>0</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.1<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.25<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-1</td><td>&mdash;</td><td>0</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.25<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.5<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-2</td><td>-1&quot;</td><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.5<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.75<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-3</td><td>-2&quot;</td><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.75<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.9<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-4</td><td>-4&quot;</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--STR_LIFT-->*0.9<!--/MATH--> - <!--STR_LIFT--></td><td>-5</td><td>-8&quot;</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>

In place of STR_LIFT

Like so?

<!--STR-->
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="5" class="sectionheading">Encumbrance</td></tr>
<tr><th rowspan="7">Equipment Carried:<br><span style="font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt;"><!--TOTAL_CARRIED--></span></th><th>Total Weight Carried</th><th>DCV/AGI Roll</th><th>Move</th><th>END/Turn</th></tr>
<tr><td>Up to <!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.1<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-0</td><td>&mdash;</td><td>0</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.1<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.25<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-1</td><td>&mdash;</td><td>0</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.25<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.5<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-2</td><td>-1&quot;</td><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.5<!--/MATH--> - <!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.75<!--/MATH--> kg</td><td>-3</td><td>-2&quot;</td><td>2</td></tr>

<tr><td><!--MATH--><!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->*0.9<!--/MATH--> - <!--ATTRIBUTE_VALUE-->getPrimaryLift<!--/ATTRIBUTE_VALUE--></td><td>-5</td><td>-8&quot;</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>

Ok, so using the above quoted code and the character having a 14 STR I get the following result

Up to 17 kg
17 - 44 kg
44 - 87 kg
87 - 131 kg
131 - 157 kg
157 - 174.1101126592248

How do I get the last weight number (174.1101126592248) to round off to just the whole number?

You could put it in a MATH tag. I think that forces it to an integer or just use the actual LIFT attribute since that is the max value there.

Oh please help the code-impaired. LOL

How would I change the code to use "the actual LIFT attribute since that is the max value there"?

Thank you sir!

repped him for you...

One of the great things about these forums is the way everyone helps each other out.

It's been a while since I've been in here, so I missed all this -- thanks guys.

By the way mayapuppies -- I've made some modifications to that character sheet export so that it now runs all the abilities and equipment into 3 columns (as long as you're using Firefox; IE is still lagging far behind on the formatting front). The multi-column format compacts the printed character sheets substantially.

I've also included the default combat maneuvers as well, which were missing from the old sheets.

Edit:
I realised when I went to upload the new version of the export templates that I have completely forgotten where I put them on my site, so I'm going to have to do some investigating :)

Ack! You're killing me here! LOL

I want all of that functionality and I want it now! Or, you know, a copy of it and I'll muddle through the conversion. :)

This would be a lot simpler if I hadn't blown-up DEX into three stats...

Maybe for the moment I'll just post it here for anyone who wants to try it out.

I hadn't realised my site had become so labyrinthine; it might be time for some brutal rationalization (if I can ever raise the energy for it).
