Advanced - Custom Data

Introduction

Starting in TOS+ version 3.5, a new function has been added to allow users to load custom data directly in a Character. This can be most useful to add custom content to an existing character, or to start off new characters with a 'package' of custom data, already prepared. In this section, we will use an example of custom data to explain how this can be created for TOS+.

The Adventurer's Basic Gear

When you create a character, you always take a Basic package of gear for your character. The standard way to do this would be to visit the [Back] worksheet, and enter each item that you want in your Basic Package. But if you plan on making many Characters with the same Basic Package, you could use the Sheet's ability to Load custom Data to go about this faster.

We will use the Example of the Basic Package to walk you through this process - which could be applied to other areas as well... things like Feats, Spells, custom weapons etc!

Create the Data

The first step is to create the data. Using the [Back] Sheet, I have created this Basic Package for my characters

1-create gear once 2- save character 3- edit .tos file to locate gear 4- save as .tosdata 5- test by loading in a new character
