Multiple Objectives Tabs?

Jason Green-Lowe

I'm making a tripleA version of SiredBlood's Global game (often called BBR, or BloodBath Rules), and I would like to have two different tabs on the right-hand panel: one tab that shows the current status of national objectives, and a second tab that shows a count of "victory points." The victory points would function mechanically much like national objectives, in that you have to fulfill various conditions in order to achieve them, but instead of giving you extra PUs each turn, they contribute to your total number of VPs; the Axis win if they have at least a certain number of VPs at the end of turn 8, so it's useful for everyone to be able to quickly track how many VPs the Axis currently have and where those VP are coming from. But, the game also has a large set of ordinary national objectives, so I don't want to put both the ordinary national objectives and the VP objectives on the same tab; it would take players too long to scroll all the way down that tab for the tab to do much good.

Right, so like the standard five tabs are "Notes", "Territory", "Actions", "Players", and "Resources." The option to have an objectives.properties file adds a sixth tab, called "Objectives." I want to add a seventh tab, called "Victory," that would function exactly like the objectives tab. Is that possible, and if so how do I do it?

Thanks for any advice.

@jason-green-lowe yea the pre actually got rid of notes tab (which I don't like) but I think it can be replaced with something else. idk if that's hardwired. I think it can be map specific. Sadly the prerelease has stalled out.

@TheDog might know more about it

Im not 100% but I dont think you can have custom tabs. The current tabs are what they are. So only one tab for Objectives.

Im not a WW2 A&A/TripleA gamer, I failed to find the BBR, but even so the victory points are tied to the ownership of a territory.

You may have only one 'objectives.properties' file, but you may be able to create different objectives tabs within that file by separating them by name, it might be worth a try?
Objectives.Panel.Name=Objectives
TableGroup

Objectives
Triggers
Objectives.Panel.Name=VPs
TableGroup

Objectives
Trigger

@wc_sumpton Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately the only effect seems to be that the single objective tab takes on the last name assigned. So I can rename the tab 'VPs', but I can't get a second tab this way.
