pack Dreadflopps Modular patches

Yea colors and formatting are a pain without others input...

I mean look at the first post on the only topic in the oblivion subform

Look at the mythic dawn page...

I am terrible at color and format choices.

 

At least you have a user base that can tell you what they like and dislike.

I had to go bug EssArrBee and others for input...

[dreadflopp]

It is a pain indeed. Also I don't know how much work I should put into making a custom .css file since the pack template is going to be reworked which means I'll probably just use that

I used a wiki page. I gave me maximum freedom but also I had to learn by trial and error.

I can give you some pages to refer to if you want it.

Some of the stuff doesn't work because the wiki more/less scrubs the page from anything that could potentially be used for evil.

I don't know if you could break away from the "pack" wiki system though.

 

 

 

On a side note, with the new profile pic, I strongly feel the undying urge to burn it alive... Or is it just me...

[dreadflopp]

Haha it was cthulhu in the old pic as well as in the new one...

The mod installation section of the guide is actually the pack templates post install section, which functions like an ordinary wiki page. The first parts of the pack template uses h1 and h2 (at least I think so) which means their style can be manipulated.

Some pages to refer to would be great.

[hishutup]

Some wiki templates

All of the Templates

To find it go to TOOLBOX -> Special Pages -> Lists of Pages/Templates

Mediawiki Stuff

Its the hardest page to navigate for specific info.

Wiki handbook

May have info on stuff that is for admins but there are some very useful bits in there

css stuff

 

 

P.s.

Still, I want to burn it with fire

Really helpful. Will add a notice and maybe a warning template to the guide. And dig in to css. Thanks.

 

ps new avatar, cthulhu approven...

[hishutup]

Yeah.. If I knew about those links early on it would have been way easier...

If you need any info then feel free to shoot a pm to me...

 

P.s. I approve.

The sensation of burning a picture with fire has subsided, strange.

I have done a test page of the pack where I have been testing some layouts of the guide (colors, borders etc). Check it out and tell me what's good and what's not!

I stole most of it from the official STEP css file

you may want to change h4 to a color that has more contrast with the hyperlinks

 

You may even be able to get away without a TOC

try it, add this line to the top of the page

"__NOTOC__"

but I don't know if the Pack form will like that

 

Honestly, it looks like every other STEP guide like thing but hey its better than it was.

I like when things are unique and weird :/

So, yeah, that is my opinion and I make terrible color choices...

 

Maybe find colors that have the same palette but with a different hue.

 

I like the original green color for the boss and loot rules because they stood out and were very visible.

[dreadflopp]

I could change h4 to a different shade of orange. Or maybe light grey is better. Will try that.

Agree with the green being better. I'm planning on removing the boss rules since I use loot now. I'm also planning to remove the loot rules from the mod install section and add them to their own section. I'll probably remove the mcm rules from the mod installation part too.

[hishutup]

I would keep the boss rules people still use it.

Including SRLE users and me of course.

I would agree with moving them to the end but maybe also left them as they are for each mod.

[dreadflopp]

I'll keep them then, leaving them in the guide and add them to their own section.

 

Regarding the TOC, the user can choose to hide it if he/she wants. I use it quite a lot when navigating the guide.

Updated the test page again. I'm feeling this is final (remember to refresh the page):

Really like the new format!

[dreadflopp]

Really like the new format!

Thanks. Made it official. Checked all LOOT rules and collected them in their own section. Added a small patch.
