MSPFA Mirroring Site

[Wacom Guy]

Thank you so much! What was the problem?

[Violet CLM]

The one time I don't bother explaining the technical details of what was happening, someone actually wants to know. (Note: hyperbole.) Uh, in a nutshell, most adventure text is run through a filter to replace character entities with the corresponding characters. This filter wasn't being applied to the command text, totally by accident. When you typed [FONT="#FF0000"] instead of [FONT=#FF0000], this was read as specifying the color "#FF0000", which, for reasons I'll confess to being unclear on, got parsed as #00FF00. Anyway, I put the filter in and now everything's happy.

[Wacom Guy]

Thank you!

Okay, two other things I discovered.

You can't stack color tags.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]the cake is [COLOR="#FF0000"]red[/COLOR].[/COLOR]

Also, the Size tags don't use the forum sizes, they use actual point values.

[Violet CLM]

You can't stack any tags. The code would have to be a lot more complicated for that to be possible, and that simply isn't important enough to bother with. Just put your color/whatever tags side to side or else write the actual HTML.

There is no prescriptive standard for how the number in BBCode size tags should be interpreted. The present implementation on the site corresponds to the bbcode.org example but not these forums' implementation. There's not really a perfect solution to the matter, but this one at least gives a far wider range of options than the forums' 1-7 does.

Does anybody know how to add Flash files onto a page?

Nevermind, I'm good

[Menen]

Is nix the only person that can add you to the editor's list?

if so,

[Violet CLM]

No, I can do that too.

[Menen]

No, I can do that too.

Oh sweet.

So here's the deal: I have an adventure on another forum (this one here) That I wish to transfer over to Here in order to get some more commands and such (And better fans). The problem is that it is nearing its 100th page and i doubt i can fit all the update into a spoiler for the Cradle. So I was thinking that I could Mirror it first, then make the Cradle topic, Then ill just post the Mirror to the Cradle and start there instead of trying to use two posts to post the entire current adventure into an unorganized spoiler.

[Violet CLM]

Sounds good. Is your username on the mirror site the same as it is here?

[Menen]

Yep. Menen

[Violet CLM]

Done.

That said, PMs remain the preferred method of doing this sort of thing.

[Menen]

Thanks

Hey, I am having a bit of a problem. I can't seem to bold things with {b}{/b} (obviously while using []).
It's on this page, the Y in the [Y/N] thing is marked with the bold code, but it doesn't appear as bold.
Am I doing something wrong, or is bolding in spoilers impossible?

[Violet CLM]

Your entire adventure is already in bold, so the [b] tags have no effect.

[Snowmanne]

Oh, I see, Thank you!

Hey guys i'm back to wor- "50 new private messages" fuck

[Kindri]

How exactly do I edit adventures?

Hey guys i'm back to wor- "50 new private messages" fuck

Oh, nice that you are back!
The pages I want to proofread already piled up, too.

[snuffysam]

First you need to be an editor.

[Gelatino]

How exactly do I edit adventures?

First, take all necessary steps to sign up. As explained above, you have to first become an editor, which involves sending a PM to one of the people in charge. I believe that is explained in the OP of this thread. After you've taken all the necessary steps to sign up, here's what you do:

1. Navigate to the MSPFA homepage and sign in by clicking "USER CENTER" on the bar near the top.
2. Once you sign in, it bring you here. Click "Editing Adventures" at the top of the list.
3. If you're making a new adventure, click "New Adventure". If you're editing an already existing adventure, select your adventure from the dropdown list and click "Edit existing adventure".

Then you can start making pages. Good luck!

Hey guys a quick question that's been bothering me to no end!!

I've been updating my adventure on the site, and as of recent the colour codes have stopped working. Whenever I go to imput a colour code, It shows up as black text. I've even copied previously working colour codes into a new post and it still shows up black. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? And the adventure is Primary Colours (#305)

[Violet CLM]

Color hex codes are supposed to begin with pound signs (#). So #FF0000, not FF0000, etc. Not all valid colors are hex codes (red should also work, or rgba(255, 0, 0, 1), or hsl(255,255,128)), so the pound sign isn't added automatically. It looks like you've input a lot of the suckers already, though, so give me five minutes and I'll see if I can make your life a bit easier.

EDIT: All right! I've added special cases so if the color is a set of three or six characters in the set [0123456789ABCDEF] (case insensitive) a pound sign will get added in. Example of this working. You'll need to resave all your pages with the color codes so that the pound signs get applied to them, but you won't need to change their contents.

Alright! thank you so much! I knew I was goofing up somewhere. c:
