Re: Name table resources?
Depends on the system, and name styles you are after.
D&D has Xanathar's Guide, which gives loads of tables on names for different races. I have converted most of them to TS, some (Gnomes) and others had no need.? I can give you copies of them if you want.? I also have made some other ones like Elf name and clan from the other tables.
But I can easily give you my name tables if you want.? Let me know.

Re: Simple variable addition/incrementation
I suspect you are calling the Start routine just once per output line, like this
?
# iterable-test
%Room%,1
:Start
1,%Room% [Generate]. |Room+1|
;Generate
1,There's a goblin here
1,You see a mimic poorly imitating a horse
1,One lonely tree stands near an oasis
1,Something wonderful is happening: XYZ
Therefore the |Room+1| call is only made once as well: the next call to Start re-initializes %Room%,1
You need to put the output line inside a Loop construct--something like this:
# iterable-test
#
%Room%,1
?
:Start
1,{Loop~3,%Room%. [Generate]. |Room+1|{CR~}}
_{Line~left,100}
?
;Generate
1,There's a goblin here
1,You see a mimic poorly imitating a horse
1,One lonely tree stands near the oasis
?
1,Something wonderful is happening: Ta-Da!!!
Now the Room variable will be incremented each time through the loop.

Re: Simple variable addition/incrementation
It's in the main code, part of ;Start (I think it's the only non-randomized-text code, except for a Level-dependent variable.
Thanks - I will implement a parameter with requested number of rooms rather than doing it the old-fashioned way. A good lesson. I'm brute-forcing it?
|
Re: Simple variable addition/incrementation
Yes, I am running the code from the "iterations" box! Does this restart the code from the beginning each time? It did not occur to me that this was the case, but it would tidily explain the trouble I am having.
I will implement a while loop - it might easily solve another issue I am having. I'll include a parameter for the number of requested rooms.
Whew! Thanks!

Re: Simple variable addition/incrementation
The first question I thought of ¡ is this a Loop / While / If operation or are you running the table x number of times from the box in the upper left corner? ? Vance ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?

Re: Simple variable addition/incrementation
This needs more context. What calls the group that has the line you gave?
As a wild guess, are you resetting %Room% anywhere?

There's no encoding setting for HTML in TableSmith (never really came up as in issue in the past).

I don't know that your workaround is the only option, but a config setting isn't available. You could maybe try outputting to Text rather than HTML, though I don't know that would make a difference.

Outputting as text doesn't help.
My guess is that it's a problem in the engine, where it reads in text from the table file as ISO-8859-1/Windows-1252 and so reads (eg) a utf-8 close single quote as ?€? This is then propagated to the output window and the temp htmp file.

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!
