Changes March 2017

[Shan]

We've been busy behind the scenes this month and last, and we're pleased to bring you the results!

First off, we have some house rules fleshed out for you.

• Finally we have details on Crafting Exceptional Items which I'm sure a lot of crafting pcs and future pcs will be excited to explore.
  And for when you've created those exceptional items, here's what you can do to make them special. Exceptional Item Traits
  Want to start the game with a special item? We've got rules for that too! Exceptional Equipment Merit
  Lastly, this little merit causes quite a bit of confusion. x20 only lists it for computers which is silly. And depending which venue you read, we have different cost values. Our game defaults to V20 and so we will standardize this merit across the board. Merit - Ability Aptitude

Remember, you can always find a list of new house rules and house rules which have been updated by reviewing our House Rules Change Log

Forum Player Profiles!

I don't think anyone bothers looking at profiles on the forums. It was just a bunch of useless social media links no one bothers to fill out. That has changed!

There are now entries for you to list your characters by name, meta type, and city position if you hold any sort of importance. Following each name, is a place to link your character profile from the website too! Now you can click on a user who has posted in the forums, and get a list of which characters they play and what those characters look like. \o/

Go ahead. Check out Sha's User Profile Also note it will display characters on the Member List as well!

Now I went through and tried to update this manually for every active player who currently has a fully approved character. I may have missed some people. Also, I won't be keeping this updated for you. You can access these to make changes by visiting your User Control Panel and clicking on the [Profile] tab.

Enjoy this new functionality. Remember to keep it updated as your new characters are approved. Feel free to name your social approved characters as well. And if you have ideas to make the member list even better, feel free to leave a suggestion.

New Custom BB codes!

Alright so not everyone uses these, but those who do might enjoy the additions I've made.

Hard Line

Code: Select all

[hr][/hr]

---

Creates a solid line across the page. This should resize according to your browser size, unlike having to use _ over and over.

Indent

Code: Select all

[indent]20[/indent] Follow with text

Long over do way of indenting your paragraphs!
Note that the number between [indent] ...Enter Number Here... [/indent] can be set to any value. Use responsibly.

Strike out

Code: Select all

[strike] text [/strike]

This lets you strike out words as if you drew a line through them. At first glance this doesn't seem useful. However when you make changes to something, if something no longer applies, or if you make a list and want to track what's been completed and what hasn't, it may come in handy.

Preserve Formatting

Code: Select all

[pre] text [/pre]

Ever get annoyed when the forum eats your        spaces?  How hard to format        when it takes those away. Not sure what all it will preserve, but give it a try.

Okay that's a really bad example, but you get the idea.


Wrap Text after Image

Code: Select all

[imageleft] imageurl.jpg [/imageleft]

Ooo our fancy title image!

Without the code, the text displays at the bottom of the image on the right. With the new code, the text appears at the top of the image on the right without a space between it. This might be useful in creating your signatures.


All of these features have been added to the format buttons above the editor. If you hover your mouse over the button, it will display a tool popup reminding you how to use it.
