Community Character sheets

Hi All -  I'm hoping to start a game soon for some friends using Gumshoe/Night's Black Agents and a character sheet for use in the game would be useful to say the least.   I've searched and found one on Github but I have no idea how to (or if it is even possible) to import it into my Game Creation set up.    The pull down list of character sheets there has Gumshoe/Trail of Cthulhu, but I can't see any options for importing new community made sheets. I'm prepared to acknowledge that I may be missing something obvious, and if anyone has any advice it would be well received.

You need to be a Pro level subscriber to use character sheets other than the Templates on the Game Settings page. See the subsection "Modifying a Community Sheet" in this section of the wiki.

Thank you!  One more reason to go Pro which I shall do now...

Hello again...   I once more need the help of the community. I've now subscribed at the Pro level and copied the details of the Nights Black Agents character sheet into the new game I've set up.   It shows up, works fine in the main.   However there are several text boxes at the bottom of the sheet to cover background info and other game stuff.   Any data put in there doesn't save so it turns up blank whenever the sheet is reopened.     This was mentioned on the forum where it was first posted, then the guy with the problem posted again saying: "by giving the text areas an attribute each, it seems to have solved the problem :)" Sounds like a simple fix but one that I have no idea to implement.   How does one give the text areas an attribute each?

Running out of the door but if you haven't had help by the time i return i'll suggest a solution for you. Can you just confirm that it is  this sheet you are using?

It is - many thanks

Try replacing lines 538 to the end with the following code: <div class='sheet-2colrow'>     <div class='sheet-col'>         <h4 class="section-head">Gear and Possessions</h4>         <div class="sheet-section">             <textarea style="width:97%;height:180px" name="attr_gear" ></textarea>         </div>     </div>     <div class='sheet-col'>         <h4 class="section-head">Cash and Assets</h4>         <div class="sheet-section">             <table style="width:100%">                 <tr>                     <td>Spending Level </td>                     <td><input type="text" name="attr_spending_level" style="width:100%"></td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                     <td>Cash </td>                     <td><input type="text" name="attr_cash" style="width:100%"></td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                     <td >Assets </td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                     <td colspan="2"><textarea style="width:98%;height:100px" name="attr_assets" ></textarea></td>                 </tr>             </table>         </div>     </div> </div> <div class='sheet-2colrow'>     <h4 class="section-head">Backstory</h4>     <div class="sheet-section">         <div class='sheet-col'>             Personal Description             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_description" ></textarea>             Ideaology/Beliefs             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_beliefs" ></textarea>             Significant People             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_people" ></textarea>             Meaningful Locations             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_locations" ></textarea>             Sources of Stability             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_stabilitysources" ></textarea>         </div>         <div class='sheet-col'>             Languages             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_languages" ></textarea>             Familiar cities             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_cities" ></textarea>             Network Contacts             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_contacts" ></textarea>             Cover Identities             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_covers" ></textarea>             Misc             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_misc" ></textarea>         </div>     </div> </div> For the malfunctioning text areas, I added a name attribute in the HTML in the following format: name="attr_wombat" where "wombat" is a unique word. I have not tested this extensively. Let me know if you have any problems.

[edit] beaten to it while testing... didn't cover the multifunction areas either so thanks Rabulias :) Replace line 567+ with the following (bear in mind i've copied the full end of the sheet rather than the specific Div section), i've added the attribute names to ensure they are unique and sort of identifiable but feel free to change them to suit: <div class='sheet-2colrow'>     <h4 class="section-head">Backstory</h4>     <div class="sheet-section">         <div class='sheet-col'>             Personal Description             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorydesc" ></textarea>             Ideaology/Beliefs             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorybelief" ></textarea>             Significant People             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorysigpeop" ></textarea>             Meaningful Locations             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorymeanloc" ></textarea>             Sources of Stability             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorysos" ></textarea>         </div>         <div class='sheet-col'>             Languages             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorylang" ></textarea>             Familiar cities             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstoryfamcit" ></textarea>             Network Contacts             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorynetcon" ></textarea>             Cover Identities             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorycoverid" ></textarea>             Misc             <textarea class="backstory-box" name="attr_backstorymisc" ></textarea>         </div>     </div> </div>

Thanks folks, very much appreciated. All is now working perfectly. Now to go get my players some terror...
