Thank you for providing these guides! I e got a coupon games I'm planning on running and I'll admit I've been pretty lost on how to implement some of the features.

I'll provide some details for Feng Shui. I'm likely to run a game soon, so it's worth adding that to your excellent documentation.

Cheers. Any difficulties then add a thread to the Questions and Help forum. I hope that forum will become a sort of a knowledge base for implementing some of the more complex and niche functionality.

I really enjoys the BBCode editor syntax colouring script

Yes, that's my favourite too. If you take a look at the script, you'll see there's surprisingly little code. It's all CSS and regexes.

Wow, that color coding really does enhance readability on code-intensive custom character sheets, as well as editing posts.

Thanks. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out for a first version. The chaps helped with styling and testing.

I'm a little disappointed that the italics didn't work, but the bold more than made up for it (even if it is slightly fuzzy).

It seems a good point to evolve from anyway.

Edit: It gets wicked slow on HUGE posts though (like this). I'll need to optimize it a bit.

I've added a new feature for people using the Homepage games highlighting script.

Here is my list of bookmarked games, highlighting those where I wasn't the last to post.

If I click the hourglass, then the highlighting stops until someone next posts in that thread.

The DNDbeyond import script is flipping awesome @adam! I really look forward to playing around with it

@runekyndig Cheers buddy. With the DnDB code copy/pasted to a tamper monkey script, I think the chrome extension is now deprecated and should be removed.

It's only code and I like to think people will find ways to improve it.

Any bug fixes/improvements to the script can be pushed to GitHub or distributed as your own script (and maybe get one of the admins to update the install script location).

Print helper

This script tidies up some of the full-thread printing and allows you to choose what to print.

1. Navigate to your thread and choose the "full page" option.

2. There will now be a "Print options" on the header bar.

3. Open that up and choose what you'd like included in the print and whether spoilers should be opened.

4. Print the page and save to PDF.

5. If you need to edit the PDF or convert it to MS Word then that's not my problem. Try Google.

😵 Amazing tool set, thanks

You're welcome.

I'd be interested to know in this thread if people try out the new cards script too.

@Adam, you mad genius you. I'm going to try the Tarot setup tonight.

Aight, who's setting up an exploding kittens deck?
Dec 14, 2022 9:25 pm
Makes me wonder if there's some way to get Harrow cards working with that system for Pathfinder games.
Dec 14, 2022 9:35 pm
It was @Chalrytharendir's idea. I just scripted it.

Love the Tarot card feature.

It's any card decks. If you have images or just text, it should work for those too.

The major downside is, as a script, you'd need everyone in the game to use that script or it can't translate the [draw BBCode.
