character encoding

 

My table files are all utf-8 (no BOM), and some of them have curly quotes. These quotes show fine in Notepad++, but the Tablesmith results window gives garbage characters associated with a wrong code page.

The right-click menu / encoding submenu shows "Western European (Windows)" followed by "Unicode UTF 8)" with the Unicode menu entry dotted.

Is there a configuration setting for "utf8 and only utf8" in Tablesmith, or is the only work-around to replace the curly quotes in the table files with straight quotes?

Re: Capitalizing Variables

 

If I'm understanding the original question, I don't believe that will work, because if a link is being stored in the variable, the first character is actually a "<" (as in "<a href="..."), so "Cap" won't be looking at what's generated, but literally the first character in the link, which is the "less than" symbol. The variable assignment isn't smart enough to recognize the difference between a link and regular text; it just stores what you give it.

There's probably a workaround, though I don't have one in mind at the moment. Erol's suggestion below may help (or provide a place to start).

Thanks!
Bruce

So if you do [~Group] then you can do

:Group
1,|foo=[subgroup1]|
_This is {Cap~%foo%}
_[SubGroup2UsingFoo]

with SubGroup2UsingFoo using the uncapitalized value of %foo% that was
changed when you clicked the blue reroll "link"

Hi All,

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to capitalize a variable
AFTER variable assignment, while maintaining the "re-rolling" nature
of the variable (e.g. instead of going {Cap~[Group]}, going
|Variable=[~Group]| {Cap~%Variable%}, so that what I store as a
variable is the non-capitalized version of the word. Right now, if I
try with the former syntax, I get the "re-rolling" link, but the
variable doesn't get capitalized...

Thanks to all, I found some copies as well.? Will upload them.


Re: Older Versions of Tablesmith #tablesmith

 

If you upload them and they are taking up too much space they can always be removed. I am sure Bruce can take care of it when and if the need arises.

Re: Older Versions of Tablesmith #tablesmith

 

You're welcome... I also uploaded the two "Full Downloads" I used to host on my site back from 2004 and 2007. I had forgotten how much of that we all got collected and shared in the days before time! LOL

They are under 8 megs total for the Full Downloads. This way the archived tables and graphics are there too.

Re: Town Generator

 

Go to files and search for towngenjan? ?I think that is the one you are looking for.? Has a separate town gen data file.


Re: Town Generator

 

Thanks,
TownGenerator V5 appears to be the closes to what I had before.?
I think the one I had was downloaded from an independent site.


Re: Town Generator

 

Have you checked the file section of the group? I'm pretty sure the old Town Generator should be in there somewhere.

Re: Tablesmith using appimage

 

Hm, I've been doing some research ...
If TS could be built on .Net core, it looks like it should be possible to add ASP .Net core to the mix, which includes a little webserver (kestrel) for local use.
That would effectively allow building a cross platform Gui (in ASP). I think?

If I converted TS to .NET Core (which would be trivial), I could run the engine pretty much anywhere - Linux, iOS, Windows, Android, or Mac. I can't create a universal UI, though. Deployment would also be platform-specific.

For desktop, I've been pondering a command-line version but I'm guessing most people would be turned off if there wasn't a graphical frontend.

I've had very good results using Codeweavers CrossOver to run TS5.1 on Linux. Very stable on CrossOver.

TS5.2 WON'T run on CrossOver, the .Net requirement is not able to be gotten around, and .Net3.0, which is built into Windows, is a requirement for all leter versions on .Net.

You may have similar?results on Mac, but I haven't tried it.
