Week of September 24th 2010

Here is the weekly update. I'm currently on Chapter 1 Part P (Particle Beam Weapons) for the D30 RPG system. I will be finished next week for sure. I will also be starting the php code for a dice roller for use on this board as soon as possible. Currently no dice rolling add-on exists for vBulletin verson 4.0.6 and so I'll have to code one myself. I've tweaked the forum boards a bit to help with the search button colors and page number colors in the main forum. Kodai Okuda will be posting...

In addition to finishing the D30 RPG system I am also looking for a working dice roll generator.

The standard BB 3.5 dice roller works so-so, and I'm not impressed with how it reacts to vB 4.0.6.

Here's an example of what I mean.

It seems to really mess things up a bit.

I'll keep hunting for an HTML/Java version that is better.

After reading through the EULA requirements extensively and discussing the standard Rules of a multitude of other websites online (some vBulletin, and other companies such as [adult swim]'s rules) I have loosened up the rules considerably (which is what I had wanted to begin with, but...). All forum members who registered before the change are NOT subject to the old rules. New members who register now that the rules have changed will simply have to follow what is posted in the rules section. ...

Got rid of the old smilies and uploaded a whole new batch of new ones.
I prefer the classic BB smilies to the faded look of the ones that came with vBulletin 4.0.6.

I will soon be uploading the devil set once I've finished with them.

I am currently working on the Weapon & Equipment Construction Rules for the D30 system.
Chapter 1 is 20 pages long so it's taking me some time as each page has a table that must be transcribed from Pagemaker into HTML code.
I expect that it will take the better part of the week to complete Chapter one.
Chapter two and three will not take quite as long and should be up in a few weeks.

Once that's done I'll start on the Vehicle Construction Rules for the D30 system. On...

Added additional message options in the form of [tab], [pre], and [p] buttons and tags to the BBcode database.
For the [tab] function just enter a number from 1 to 100 to indent your text (35-50 is best). This simulates the old tag from HTML 3.0.

The [pre] tag allows you to post pre-formatted text that is NOT of an HTML nature or other coding language.
The [p] tag allows you to post text in a "justified" format. Hope these tools come in useful. Still lookin...

Chapter three of the Game Lord's guide is up.

This chapter deals with combat in the D30 system.
Numerous charts are in this chapter including speed, hit location, treasure, and others.

I'm moving on to Rule Book One: Arms and Equipment Generation now.

The spoiler button [] is now available.
Just click on the button, enter a teaser in the dialogue box, and type in your spoiler text between the bb code.


Hope the new button helps.

The D30 system is coming along nicely right now. I've just finished uploading the Game Lord Guide Chapters One and Two. I'll get Chapter three up by the middle of next week. That is the Combat Chapter and there are quite a few charts in it which take me a bit of time to code. After that I'll get the weapon and vehicle construction rules started. Both of those books are heavy on the charts so they'll take quite a bit of time. I'll keep you all posted as things develop. -Prime Administrator...

I've gotten the spoiler function to work here.

When you go to use this function write the following in the message pane.

[SPOILER=Teaser]This was a very difficult button to get to work.[/SPOILER]

The end result should look like this.

SPOILER: Teaser 

This was a very difficult button to get to work.

That should do well for now. I'll keep looking for an Add-on that allows me to add the button to the message pane control panel. -Prime Administrat...
