Default Re: New weapons help document & HTML template

Wow raynor, thanks!!!!!
That was really, really fast. I can't believe just how great this SE4 community is!

What did you end up coding it in? C++?

I do think we need one more piece of html to make it a bit more user friendly and that's a main html index page that has all the weapon links. Basically it would just have links to each of the html files that your program creates.

Would you like me to go ahead and create that template? We could either use that as a static index page distributed along with your program file or you could also generate it from your program along with the other html files.

If you do include it in your program then any additional weapons that might get added later by MM would automatically have a link generated dynamically which is the main advantage over just having a static page. The other advantage is that your program would be the only thing that needs distributing. With the static approach we'd need to distribute the index and the program which is just a tiny bit messier and not quite as elegant.

So, let me know which way you'd prefer and if you want me to go ahead generate a main index page template.

Once finished I think it should be posted over in the mods forum. We could also provide it as another resource to the new documentation project that some of the community here have just started up. I hope everyone will take a look at the html pages that raynor's program generates and let us know if we missed anything as far as useful information in the template.

Also, if people do find the utility useful, this concept could be extended to all components not just weapons.

Thanks again, raynor. This is just great and I'm sure this will be very useful to everyone.
