any abeille experts?

hey i hope you dont mind me asking here, since the abeille forums are pretty much non-existent. i am trying to take the 3.5 char sheet and insert it into a tab control.

the idea is to have the char sheet as it is on the first tab, the second tab for equipment, third for feats, fourth for spells, etc.

however i cant seem to get the form into a tab and still have it work. i tried copy-paste but all that does is create a link to the original form, which chartool doesnt seem to support. i ended up dragging everything manually, but now ive lost the pretty formatting.

does anybody know of a way to just get the stuff into a tab without changing formatting and not creating a linked form? thanks.

CT will allow internal forms to be references. But you have to set up Abeille correctly first. It requires you to unzip the game settings file and then adding the directory to the source. You do this by selecting Tools->Project Settings from the menu and then pressing the Add Path button. Add the directory where you unzipped the game settings file and then you will be able to reference any other forms (or images) in that zip file when you run CT.

not sure what im doing wrong here, but that does not seem to be working.

when i run CT, in the area where the original form should be, it just says "Error: D20Editable.jfrm"

and there is also a java exception:

FormManagerUtils.openPackgedForm failed: d20Editable.jfrm

When you add the path to Abeille you should add the directory where you unzipped the game settings file and not the forms directory. So when you reference the form it would show up as form/d20Editable.jfrm instead of d20Editable.jfrm. Or at least I think that is what the problem is.

yep, tried that. no matter what i put in there i get the same symptoms. do i have to modify any of the XML files?

Nope. I'm not sure what's wrong now. You can see how I did that same thing here: http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/ja ... pgame.html The form that you want is forms/combined.jfrm. It references four other forms in that same zip file.
