New weapons help document & HTML template

Griffin · #1 March 20th, 2001, 03:34 PM

First of all, this is really great stuff. Thanks alot for all your efforts.

I was wonder if there is a neater way to do this than creating a pile of HTML and then an index page to refer to it.
It might be a little neater and also user invisible with regards to updates and changes of the weapons stats to create the html page on the fly (maybe to a temp file)and then display it, then delete the html file afterwards. Effectively making it a viewing program rather than a html creator program. This way the user can just run the program which brings up a (quickly created) index page and then as they click on a item it then creates and displays the relevant page. This would also relieve the average user from having to remember to rerun the program to update their html files when they recieve a new patch or mod.

Any thoughts? More effort than it is worth?

I apologise if this is well away from your intended goals, I mean no slight to your work and efforts.

I posted a new Version (1.01) in the same message over in the Mod Forum. Pretty cool how you can delete your old files and upload new ones. The new Version fixes the crashing problem and tweaks the HTML for the range/damage section. Thanks to Arralen and Jourin for helping me find the bugs!

Thanks for the comment and the idea, Griffin! It is definitely something to think about for the future.

OK, you know more than I do. My apologies for giving inaccurate information.

Cold Steel and raynor -
I love you guys; this is fine work. Thank you both very much yet again. I just grabbed the new v1.01 from the Mods Forum. Great work, just great

Griffin -
No, I have to politely disagree. I very much like having the HTML files right there where I can look at them. Maybe that's just me

Well, I know more than a lot of people, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion on this one thing... everyone can be mistaken about just about anything (that includes me, I've probably screwed up on details a few times in this forum).

Oh, and I agree that I would rather have actual HTML files... just stash 'em in a folder to keep those that don't know what they're doing safe

I'll have to go download that... sometime... many things going on at once, quite confusing
