What Is It?

There are various nodes in db.xml that are important when creating settings for Savage Worlds, but there are no UI fields that allow you to set them. In some cases it means records don't work as expected (like Arcane Backgrounds dropped on the character sheet or items not grouping properly in lists.

This extension adds those missing fields to the UI so that you don't have to manually edit db.xml. You also don't have to know how to link them up.

There are various other "hidden" fields and tweaks that add convenience to setting builders as well as GMs and players.

Arcane Backgrounds

Links between Arcane Backgrounds and Arcane Background Edges can be made by drag-and-drop.
The link required by the SWADE ruleset to automatically add an AB to a character when the AB Edge is dropped is created for you.
The Arcane Background Arcane Skill now has a link to the Skill.

Modifications

Added a Category column to the Modifications "By Group" list.

Category

The catname field is used in the SWADE ruleset code and stored in db.xml but is not accessible through the UI.  
The Category field was added to Armor, Gear (Items), Modifications, Vehicle, Weapon.  
Filtering by category, a "By Cat" button, and new lists grouped by category was added to these lists: Items, Modifications, Vehicles.
The category column has been added to a few Group lists, including vehicles and gear.

Short Description

The shortdescription field is used in the SWADE ruleset code and stored in db.xml but is not accessible through the UI.
The Short Desc field was added to Edge, Power, Skill, Weapon.

Edges

Added a "By Rank" button to display a new list of Edges grouped by Rank. This list shows short descriptions.
Added a Type filter. This combines with the Rank filter to narrow down the list.
Added a Rank column to the Edges by Type list.
Added Dependency field to Edge record; this is used for Edge upgrades (i.e. Improved versions that replace lower Rank Edges)

Skill List

Added a "Details" button that lists all the Skill with linked Attribute and short description.
Added a "By Attribute" button that lists skills grouped by attribute.

Racial Ability

Added group, max, and value fields.

NPC List

Added type filter to NPCs list.
Added NPC "By Type" list view.
Added NPC "Details" list view.

Gear

Added Category to the various Item, Weapons, Armor and Vehicle records.

Reference Manual

Added exported link that shows display name of module being created which appears at top of list. (Same as "Reference Manual" link.)
Default effects and modifiers are deleted when exporting a module.

Other

The bases (headquarters) and cyberware buttons can be enabled. There are GM settings for these, and they're off by default. If you don't have a companion that turns on those features, you can now do so with this extension.
