Re: New question and thank you
Break it where you want and put an underscore:
Name: [Name]<br>Age: [Age]<br> _Race: [Race] ? Scott

Next question . . .?
I know how to make new lines appear in the output, but how can I add a new line in the file itself for ease of reading?
For example, say I have a series of things like this . . .
Name: [Name]<br>Age: [Age]<br>Race: [Race] etc. and it just keeps going. Is there a way to break that up into multiple lines in the file as well as the output?

Re: New question and thank you
If you mean "in the table (.tab) file" then you use an underscore as the first character in a line to indicate that it's a continuation of the previous line. Thus
1,[Name]<br>
_Age: [Age]<br>
_Race: [Race]<br>
_Favorite Color [FavColor]<br>
is treated as a single line by Tablesmith.

Re: Random number between two numbers in range
Create a variable -Val1 Set the Value of Val1 Test the Value to a maximum. ? %Val1%,0 |Val1={Dice~1d1500+500}| {If~%Val%1>999?999,%Val1%} ? Something like this should do what you want. ? ? ?

I have a table with various values on each item in the table list. For example, 500-2000, 2000-5000, 5000-10000, etc.
Is there some syntax I can use to basically say pick a random number between 500 and 2000? I've managed to get some of the values by doing 1dX+Y, but the problem I run into is when the value exceeds that and I can't put a cap on it. Any suggestions??

Re: Random number between two numbers in range
You can get clever with 1dX+Y, e.g.
{Dice~1d1501+499} will give 500-2000
It's a "fencepost problem." The count of 500 to 2000 is 1501 rather than 1500. Likewise 2000-5000 has a count of 3001 rather than 3000, and 5000-10000 has a count of 5001 rather than 5000.

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.
