BB Code

[sagittarius22]

So, I wondered if it would be possible to have a BB Code Board beside the mod description?

It would be easier to have a nice description.

Sorry I speak French so I have some issues :confused:

I think this is what you want, but I'm not sure.

Here is the link to the bbcode used here.

Yes this is what I was looking for, thanks!

My question was: would it be possible to implement it so that when writing a description mod, we just have to click to add the code, like in the forum?

Use the forum to write the description, check it by using the "Preview Post" button, copy paste it into your description and then just hit the back button to get rid of the forum post. Just be sure not to press "Add Reply" on the forum. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, there is a lower limit on the mod description page concerning the amount of BB Code tags, than there is on the actual forums.

 

You can get it looking all pretty on the forum reply page, but when copied over to the mod description page, it wont render properly. and shows all the BB Code past a certain limit

 

The Code limit on the description page should be increased to allow more customization and readability.

Don't think there's a limit. Please provide a link to an example.

Maybe not a limit per se, although when I attempted to format the description page on my mod, I tried to use nested lists.. the whole thing looked fine when previewing on the forums, yet when I pasted the code to the description page, it broke for some reason other than the formatting discrepancies (i.e. some tags accept quotes, others don't etc. )

I'll see if I can post up an example bit of code to demonstrate what I mean.

 

Below is the code I originally attempted to use on the description page, while it works perfectly here on the forums, when I pasted it to the description page, it broke somehow and the BB code tags were visible after the first couple of list tags...

Pre-Order DLC Packs bug fix suggestions

=======================================

In the interests of helping those having problems with their Pre-order DLC packs, I have compiled a short list of mods that seem to be pure bug fixes for those.

I am going by description and comments on anything other than the Caravan pack, so suggestions for changes to this list are appreciated.

Some like the Classic pack have quite a few issues, while others like the Tribal pack seem to have none according to the list of mods I could find on Nexus.

• ** Classic Pack **
  
  • Classic Pack 10mm bug fix by chucksteel
    
    • Allows the pistol to be modded.

    [*]Weathered 10mm Pistol Fixes by Yukichigai

    1. The Weathered 10mm Pistol will now show the appropriate shape once weapon mods are applied to the weapon; this DOES include the third-person (in-world) view of the weapon. (see the notes section at the bottom of this description)
       
    2. The increased Sneak Attack Critical damage from The Professional perk now applies to the Weathered 10mm Pistol.
       
    3. You are now able to sneak the Weathered 10mm Pistol into casinos (and The Fort) as a "holdout weapon".

    [*]You take a sip from your trusty Vault 13 canteen by JustinOther

    • Revision to the recurring message for the canteen. Rather than it showing over and over, a message box explains the canteen once, then stops spamming you.

    [*]Pre-order Weapon Perk List Fixes by Vorph

    • Weathered 10mm Pistol - Added to The Professional. Also adds vanilla weapons 10mm Pistol, 10mm SMG, and That Gun to the list. v1.1 also adds Weathered 10mm to casino holdout weapon list (50 sneak required).

  [*]** Caravan Pack **

  • Ive Got Sturdy Caravan Shotgun Fix by Kae Arby
    
    • Adds the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun, from the preorder Caravan Pack, to the shotgun list used in the I've Got Shotgun challenge.

    [*]Pre-order Weapon Perk List Fixes by Vorph

    • Sturdy Caravan Shotgun - Added to Shotgun Surgeon.
      
    • Let the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun work with "I've Got Shotgun"

  [*]** Mercenary Pack **

  • Pre-order Weapon Perk List Fixes by Vorph
    
    • Mercenary's Grenade Rifle - Added to Demolitions Expert and Pyromaniac (only when using Incendiary ammo).
      
    • Let the Merc Grenade Launcher work with "Aiming is Optional".

  [*]** Tribal Pack **

  • Cannot seem to locate any fixes for this one.

 

I posted this exact code on the description page at the bottom so that you can see what it is doing. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38326

Ah yes the site BBCode has issues with nested lists, has done since the start of the site. My coding isn't good enough to fix it :X

[Linmor]

Ah well, if it has to be hand coded to rectify, we will just accept it as is and move on. Thanks for checking on it :)

Hey, sorry if I'm resurrecting an old thread, but still no plan on adding BBcode directly on the mod pages? :whistling: Edited June 5, 2012 by sagittarius22
