You can probably put this instead of an apostrophe: & #39; Except leave out the space between the & and the # (I can't type it that way or it will display as an apostrophe!).

Yep, see https://forum.nbos.com/discussion/1643/issues-and-wishlist

Bumping this up for reference....

Use double backslashes instead of single ones in the image path. See the examples in https://forum.nbos.com/discussion/1604/images-in-table-results#latest So: "E:\\IPP\\B30ApeWhite.jpg" instead of "E:\IPP\B30ApeWhite.jpg" This prevents IPP from…

My guess would be that the path to the image is wrong, but I'd have to see the code to assess.

A "delimited list of appropriate race/%age pairs" is a weighted table. Why do you need to return it, isn't the intention just to pick something? A percentage is a weight that is constrained to being out of 100. That constraint will complicate thing…

I'm not sure how finely you are actually splitting up your regions if you are talking about sub-sub-sub-locations, but in principle I would use a prompt to pick which table to reference, and you could then have other tables that handle larger blocks…
-
I don't know the purpose of reducing the number of files, but if you want to share tables between your different generators, you could put all the real content in a single file in \Common\ and then in your individual generators just put a "use" stat…

I get results like this: Crimes Repeat Offender Arson Bounty: $752 Crimes Arson Bounty: $3 Crimes Repeat Offender Arson Bounty: $752 Crimes Arson Bounty: $3 Crimes Repeat Offender Arson Bounty: $755 Crimes Repeat Offender Arson Bounty: $755 C…

I definitely find that if I don't make any generators for a few months, I forget how everything works.
-
I don't understand what you are trying to do. But you are using SET commands to set constants equal to the values stored in variables (e.g. {STR}) before any values have been assigned to them. So they end up containing nothing. Possibly you want [@ …

If you click Help in the program, then go to "General Files - A Crash Course" in the contents, it will walk you through the process. IPP is not exactly a programming language. It's a text-replacement engine, with some programming features. If you a…

Max is just a list of values, separated by commas, and it returns whichever value is highest. So for example: max(1,2) = 2 max(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) = 7 You can have as many values listed there as you want. When it says max(n1,n2,...,nN) what that means…
-
ceil(n) rounds up to an integer, but 0, -1, -2, etc are perfectly valid integers. It would only round up to 1 if the value was greater than 0 but less than 1. What you want is max() like this: ``{max(1,{1d100}+{fmod})} It will result in your calc…
-
Looks fine to me, but I don't have the files you are referencing except nbos\Animals.ipt. I did delete all the other stuff to ensure I could get results from the tables in Animals.ipt, and that worked just fine. Make sure your generators are in the…
-
The range of values is 3-70, and the range of values on the lookup table is 1-40. You should adjust one of those to match the other. The number of dice is potentially very high, i.e. up to 12d5. The more dice you roll, the more likely the result wi…

The links seem to be taking out the / between the .com and discussion. If you edit the URL to put that / back where it belongs, they still work. A question for the site mods why that is happening....
-
Round would probably give you zero if it doesn't think the value is a number. For example you might have a stray space in there.
-
Possibly because there are no table lines in humanstats. You only have lines with Set, so it expects at least one line of table data after that.
-
I frequently need multiple tries to get that right!
-
Here's an example from one of my generators: {{1d{3+{$LevelMod}}+1} + {max(0,{{4d3}+{$LevelMod}-9})}}
-
If you enclose paragraphs in paragraph tags, p and /p, it's going to space them like paragraphs. You can do line breaks instead: I tried adding top and bottom padding and margins to make the spacing smaller but that doesn't seem to work.
-
Just tried it, it works, but you need to use regular quotes, not left and right quotes the way you have it. Lots of text. To figure this out, I right-clicked on the output and used View Source to see what I was really getting. At that point it was…

Oh, you really mean Basic. That takes me back to when I first started gaming!
-
Ok, so you are picking X number of skills and sorting them. One possible skill is actually multiple skills in their own list. I'm not sure the issue there has anything to do with external files. Here's a stupid generator I made to test this: Table:…
-
The limit on the length of dictionary table keys is a little restrictive, but you can use a dictionary table to expand them to full length. E.g. you randomly determine the skill is AnimHand but you display it as [@{$Skill} FullSkillName] to expand t…
-
I guess I'd have to see what the code looks like.
-
I don't think you can do that with a simple weighted table. But two ways you could achieve that: * Use two different tables. Call the table as tablename{prompt1} and then have tables tablenameYes and tablenameNo. * Use a lookup table rather than a…
-
I think you are trying to look up Common, Uncommon, or Rare on Table DieRoll, which is why you have picked a Dictionary table. But you're calling that table with a numeric value. If you want to look up the value of prompt1 on that table, you would u…

Kind of pointless to use deck picks, but then shuffle the table every draw. But always nice to have different kinds of treasure.
