This is the main section of the application this is where the user will select the sources that will be loaded from the left to the right. Click on the “+” sign will open a list of folder below the selected name. Doing this will allow the user to select which source books to be loaded when building the PC.
The table in the upper-left
contains the list of "Available" sources. By changing the
"View" mode above it the user can control how this list is displayed.
Right-click on items to add them or be directed to the product's website. Also
double-clicking on an item to add it, or double-click on a directory to add
everything in it. All the items added are moved to the table on the upper-right.
They are not "loaded" (meaning, adding something to this list does not
mean PCGen reads all the data) automatically. Once all the sources to be
included in the character creation process are in the upper-right table, click
on the "Load" button in the lower-right section. If no sources are
listed in the upper-left table, see the troubleshooting section of this
document.
When clicking on an item,
info about it will be displayed in the panel in the lower-left.
The lower-right section
contains some buttons:
Selecting a Group Within a Publisher
To select a group of materials select the '+' sign and double click the mouse cursor on it. This will load all files underneath the '+' from the left side to the right side to be loaded using the 'Load' button.
To select a single source to load, merely click on the file itself after it has been expanded out. Once it is highlighted double click on the file or right click and select 'Add'. This will transfer the file to be loaded from the left to the right. Hit the 'Load' button and it will load the sources into PCGen.
