GUI Settings

The NPC app has a few things that can be configured outside of the campaign itself.

Visible Columns

When viewing the Characters tab, the table that’s visible shows a subset of tags and character properties as columns. To configure which columns are shown, you can change the list of tags and built-in values in your campaign settings file:

Default character columns

gui:
    columns:
        characters:
            - realname
            - mnemonic
            - type

To change the columns shown for all campaigns by default, change these keys in your user settings.

Tip

When adding tags to the list, leave off the @ symbol.

Tip

When using a tag that can have multiple values (like @name or @org), only the first value will be shown in the table.

Availalable Columns

The possible columns for characters depend on the configured tags based on the game system and character type. Regardless of tags, though, there are a few columns which are always available.

realname:

The character’s canonical main name

mnemonic:

The character’s mnemonic (see File Names for where this value comes from)

type:

The character type
