In-game Factbooks (no longer in beta!)

[Astrolinium]

Violet, the next new feature needs to be a way for me to post a clip of George Takei saying "Oh my" without looking it up on YouTube. Because that's all I find myself saying as I look it over. I can't wait to use this once I'm on a more stable internet connection.

The word "awesome" gets thrown around a lot these days, but........


(although this reminds me, I need to update my factbook... it's a bit out of date)

Nope, still not working for me:

That's not my BBcoding from posting mode. That's my actual post.

This is what I'm trying to get out:

Code: Select all

For some reason my Overview Subcategory doesn't appear in my list of subcategories.

Ah! That's because currently only up to 10 will display.

Oh I see. I thought that may have been the case.

How are the top 10 established? The amount of flags? I assumed because the subcategories went in a certain order numerically (100 = Overview, 101 = History etc.) that it would be the first 10 on the page rather than, as it appears to be, any 10.

Great feature, btw.

One thing I want to add, but haven't yet, is support for retaining a draft of what you're working on when your login times out. So no more work-work-work-work-submit-ohmygoditsgone.

Okay. I am a little stupid, but usually things are at least understandable if I zone out at them for a while. That just flew over my head. Speak to me as if you are talking to a VERY young child, please. Oh, and, sorry.

Currently, if you spend a long time (hours) working on a forum post, then you click "Submit", you might get asked to log in again, because your previous session has expired. If you type in your login credentials, then instead of seeing your submitted post, you get taken to a blank "New Post"page. Meaning all your work is gone.

This is very bad and I don't want it to happen in-game.

[Chinese Regions]

I love it it is brilliant!

[Yohannes]

Well, it seems that I cannot link to my roleplayed content in the forum, Violet. For example, I cannot do this: Global Economics Index.

Hmm, that works for me, using the [url] tag.

Anyone having trouble with code, please post an example for me to try.

For example Violet, I couldn't do this: Yohannesische Bundesbank

I tried that, but the result was: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=75306 Yohannesische Bundesbank

Sorry for this... Its just that I was wondering whether such a feature will be allowed or not.

I'm actually not sure how it's sorting them. The limit of 10 is just something I threw in there while we're testing.

Ok, thanks

Will the limit be kept?

Thank you Violet. Oh, and, what are the flags for?

[Welsh Cowboy]

Awesome feature, Violet!

Can't wait to keep working on it,

[[violet]]

Oh! You are totally right about the tags not working.

Investigating...

Okay, NOW the extended NSCodes should work.

[Yohannes]

Thanks Violet

Thank you [violet].

[Mirchaz]

I love this!

[[violet]]

Oh, and, what are the flags for?

They're basically endorsements. A dispatch with "6 flags" means that six nations clicked the up arrow. The idea is that we'll be able to add something like a list of the best Factbooks.

[Fischistan]

Could you add the following CSS to the box tag, cause the text is right up against the border, and the boxes look better indented, IMHO:

Code: Select all

{
padding: 15px;
margin-left:10px;
margin-top:10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}


and also, could we be able to use 3 letter hex colors?

[[violet]]

Will the limit be kept?

Not like it is currently. We might have an age-based limit on the number of dispatches, just to keep down spam and abuse. But I don't think we'll have one for most nations. ALthough I'm not sure how we should best organize a nation's Factbook if it has dozens of entries.

Well, since there are 30 million nations on here, wont 10 flags be a little low? I mean, there would be hundreds of nations with 10 flags.

[New Emperica]

This is totally brilliant. Loving it!

[Astrolinium]

Can we have the table code, too?

[TaQud]

I like the factbook

[Menassa]

I like it, I think it would be a good addition to the game so people have easier access to your nation's information.
