NEW BBCODE for PbP: Active Effects section!

Post by admin »

I tend to list the active effects currently applied to my Character (to both help the DM, and help me track what I have active on my Character) - and I realized that I should use something else than the "out of Character" code.
So, Here is the AE BBCODE!
ACTIVE EFFECTS
Use this section to list your Active Effects - you can use the [list][*]Lists[/list] item to help you out listing all the stuff active on your PC!

This was made using this:

Code: Select all

[ae]Use this section to list your Active Effects - you can use the [list][*]Lists[/list] item to help you out listing all the stuff active on your PC![/ae] 
Enjoy!
P.S. I may play around with the colors if a better scheme comes up :P

I think the current Scheme works well. It's not too bright or distracting and still will stand out from other tags and stuff in a post.

yeah - Duni used it in his last validation... I didn't realize it would be useful for DMs as well!
LOL

Just a suggestion...

Perhaps making a box to put initiative order and DM notes in? I notice a lot of DMs on this website put their initiative orders at the end of all their updates. I originally thought that this box could be used for that as well, but multiple boxes and functions are always win

I added the 'AE=' BBCode, which allows you to specify a character name, like this:
Zartan Moonshade
[list][*]Inspire Courage +1[/list]

Code: Select all

[ae=Zartan Moonshade][list][*]Inspire Courage +1[/list][/ae]

PbP Dms, would you like such a box? Any suggestions on how it should look?

I put my effects and conditions and initiative order all together, so I only need one box.

I don't see an issue with having the option available. I don't like putting all things together. Affects and Conditions, yes. Initiative I run separate from there, and I still make use of the OOC tag for out of game subject.

Perhaps if there's a way... maybe the tag could allow the round count to automatically be red? something like [init=1]
and it would display ROUND 1 or any numbered round thereof? It would specifically need to all right from it's tag the setting of the round increment and take decimals, 1.5, 1.9, etc for broken round initiatives where the DM splits a round when foes are in mid init.
