Error message and thank you


 

Thanks for the .tab file line break tips. Those worked!

I'm seeing this error:
Line #8 had an invalid probability value.
Line #10 had an invalid probability value.

Do you count line numbers from the first line including or excluding comments?

Is the line # referencing the top of the file or within a list like :Age and then 8 lines down?

What does "invalid probability value" usually refer to?

This particular file only has roll ranges (like 1-32), other table references (like [Name]) and <br> tags for formatting.


 

I figured out what the error was from (using a long-dash instead of a small). But I'd still like to know how the line numbers work.


 

I'm on my Mac atm, but looking at the code it looks like each line, regardless of what's on it, is counted from the top of the file. So something like this:

?1 # Monster Generator
?2
?3 :Start
?4 1-5,orc
?5 6-8,big
?6 _ dragon
?7 9-10,[DemonLord]
?8
?9 ;DemonLord
10 1,Orcus
11 1,Demogorgon
12 1,Asmodeus
etc.

there is no line number per say just you a text editor like edit lite and use the goto line option
