Log system

[Killer Shrike]

Heh heh
--was reading another thread asking for a history log field to be added. Dan said no, dude kept on asking. Kind of struck me as funny....so I thought I'd expound on the idea:


Hey Dan, please add all the funtionality of an advanced word processor so that I can create and edit complex formated character histories for my PCs all within the confines of Hero Designer. With date/time stamps and topical keywording if possible. I like my applications integrated and think this would be a great idea.

And while youre at it, since you are in the code anyway, how about expanding that into a built in campaign log with itemized crosslinked notes, web enabled for collaborative use by all players and a GM in a given campaign via a central server hosted by HERO Games? That would be really cool too.

To interface this new functionality you could simply add another tab or just shove it all in with the other text boxes on the Background tab as you see fit, big guy. We'll leave that call in your able hands.

Huh? Feature creep? Whats that mean?


(only kidding, of course -- there are more than enough text boxes on the bg tab -- info of that sort is meant to display on a character sheet, not get bound into novel form)

Well, the history Tab got added .... thought Id try for the collaborative hosted campaign manager Tab again

(still just kidding)

Rather than a central server, have Hero Designer email the GM and players whenever new changes get saved.
Har har har har!

Laugh it up, fuzzball....



You'd be surprised how easy something like that would be....and how annoying.

I am using 2.28, and do not see where that is. Of course, I am currently being befuddled by the web application I am working on, so 95% of my brain seems to be overloaded by a JVM that is spinning out of control...


Any-hoo... if it really does exist, how do I activate it (I suppose the proper response would be RTFM!!!!!)

Under Campaign Rules on the Settings Tab you can now turn on up to 5 additional tabs which contain big text blocks for notes, and you can call them whatever you want.

Thanks!
As I said, sometimes the most obvious things can slip by me (which is why I am struggling to figure out how to create the form bean for my action when there are multiple ways to get into the action...)
