Preset Items Config Files for SIT

I thought it would be cool for GMs to be able to import a preset config file for specific settings that included items from the core rules, a setting book, and related setting supplements. For example, if you ran a Deadlands game, you could import the config file, and it would enable all Deadlands content from all Deadlands modules you have plus whatever is needed from the core rules while excluding items that would not be used in a Deadlands campaign. The same could be done for RIFTS, Pathfinder, Eberron, or Street Wolves, for example.

It would be too expensive for me to try to do this on my own as I would need to purchase every module PEG and Aces publish to pull this off. I realized, though, that it's something that members could actually share and contribute to.

To facilitate this, I've decided to kick things off with a basic Deadlands core rules file added to the issue tracking repo. Files will be freely downloadable from there and contributors can submit pull requests to add new files or add to existing ones as new modules are released. I also just updated SIT to sort the UUIDs alphabetically for easier readability. I think I'd like to format the files to put each UUID on a separate line to track changes more easily. Currently, they are comma separated on a single line. I'll need to make additional code changes for that beforehand to ensure backwards compatibility.

The next file I'll do is RIFTS, but if you're inclined to start contributing, please feel free to do so. 😁

Important: Importing a config file will completely replace whatever included Items configuration you currently have, so be sure to export any config you want to keep first!

Update #1: The module and the files are now set up to separate UUIDs by new lines. You can find a core Deadlands configuration in the issue tracker repo. https://github.com/kristianserrano/swade-item-tables-issue-tracker

Update #2: I've added a starting file for RIFTS for Savage Worlds which features the Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide and Savage Foes of North America. Feel free to download or contribute additions to the RIFTS config file. Next on the list is Eberron for Savage Worlds.

I think this might be the best way to achieve that. We'll see how it goes.

I believe I mentioned wanting something like this awhile back; nice to see you came up with a way to do it! Be happy to contribute to this when I get a chance.
