Story Tables Issue #97

Open PawLoh23 opened 3 years ago

Story Table gives following error

"Journal Entry null not found inside your world"

I'm not the developer, but hopefully I can help.

I assume you're trying to create local world copies of the compendiums so that whatever custom story tables you make aren't lost when you update the module. This was the case for me and after much trial and error, I eventually figured it out, and wrote down a list of instructions to help myself out in the future:

  1. make sure all compendiums, roll tables etc are LOCAL i.e. WORLD versions so they don't get lost when the module(s) get updated

  2. create a new NPC generator journal entry e.g. "Human Male"

  3. place the new entry in the Story Generators JournalEntry (world) compendium

  4. drag and drop from that compendium into the Story Tables RollTable (world) compendium. This creates a "master table" for every race/sex

  5. create a new rollable STORY table. Drag and drop the relevant generator from the Story Generators JournalEntry (world) compendium. This will create a single table for a single race/sex

Hope this helps.
