General Discussion [LPF]

There is a little reformatting, but in the process I’m making sure pictures are embedded in posts instead of linked outside. I’m also saving pic files to my hard drive for just in case reasons. 
 

I’ve liked Baldr for all things except the dice roller. It sucks.

I just ran a test and I don't hate the table display. What do you find problematic?

[FrancisJohn]

That you can’t code it in by text. You have to do a bunch of clicky clacky with drop down menus and name things and sometimes it remembers modifiers and whatnot. You can’t add a roll with a post, it has to be an edit and whatnot.

Is there a review function on posts?

Trying to copy stuff over was a pain on formatting and it doesn't look fixable on my Player Registration post. Hrmmm.

[Merry Mortician]

I haven't made a new post yet but when you click to reply, a bunch of formatting option buttons appear at the top. The first symbol on the left of the second row, the magnifying glass over a piece of paper icon, says "Preview" when you hover over it.

Ah, but you can. There's a command line dice tower and a table dice tower. I prefer the table dice to thevother options. Give it a ho.

[FrancisJohn]

I saw that just the other day. That clicky clack is still BS

[Merry Mortician]

Oof. So this NPC transfer is going to be way more than a copy/paste job. I expected there to be some parts that take more time but it seems you can't type the codes at all; you have to actually select text and click bold etc.

There are some OGMW posts with images linked from the wiki or worse. House Boraga's main image, for example, isn't attached to that post and when I try to download the image it comes as a .webp which means I can't reupload here even if I accept the compression-associated loss. Does anyone happen to know the title of that painting so I could look it up? Or @FrancisJohn do you have the file saved somewhere?

Once I establish a workflow, I think it'll be fine...but that's going to take some adjustment.

[FrancisJohn]

I’ve encountered the same problem for the deities.
 

Those files I’ve been downloading them to my desktop and saving them as pngs or jpgs and reuploading. As I’ve been doing this process I’ve been keeping a folder of the picture files going forward. 

 

Like you said, once you get in a flow it’s not as bad. 
 

And thank you so much by the way. I’ll take care of the linking back to the original post from time to time. 

[Merry Mortician]

How are you saving them as png or jpg? When I right click and go save image as, it only offers webp format.

EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't think I could open the webp with Paint but it works fine.

Yup that’s it

	Borric Hawkins, Human Fighter
	Borric looked from Mud and Charity, the shrugged, "Alright, checking out the dome first then chase pussy. Normally, I would be in favor of tale-chasing first, but that's me." He stepped off with Charity, walking beside her as they headed to the structures, a semicircle of four marble platforms, each surmounted by a colonnaded dome inlaid with pearlescent tiles that caught the glint of illumination the group provided with rays of a multihued fire. The shelters were elegantly furnished with carved stone benches and inlaid with mosaic scenes representative of scenes of the four elements, with air to the north, earth and fire in the center, and water to the south. Just beyond these shelters was a low limestone platform inscribed with bas-relief of gods, spirits, animals, and all manner of mythological creatures of ancient Katapesh, surmounted at intervals by plinths of stone bearing statues of winged humanoids, male and female, each comforting the other but with a hand extended to beckon. Hovering a foot above the platform’s center was a slowly rippling sphere of blue water. Borric stopped short about 20 feet from the nearest of the shelters. "Interesting, but I don't see anyone. Do we want to get closer or turn around and find that kitty?"

I took 5 minutes to copy that post over.  I just right clicked the picture to copy from the OGMW post and pasted it.  I opened up the Source Code and manually changed the pixel width to make it smaller.

Posting from phone is harder. Maybe after I don’t need mouse overs to know what is what, it might be easier. I do not see Dice Tower option at all.  
 

Also once you quote or clone a post, it fills in your editor and there is no quick way to clear it.  You have to back out and then reopen the thread and clear editor when it recovers your previous attempt

I think you have to post first and then edit in the dice rolls. Can’t be in the initial post.
