I'm more of an IF (interactive fiction) fan myself. I don't have the time for the creative writing needed for CHYOA But if you want coding help I can do that.

Yep, you can hire me by sending me the music you want to use, the images and videos a rough idea on how it is to go together and feedback on how it looks :) I've only had one commission before which was a special circumstance - a wedding proposal…

in List of Dynamic Sheets? October 2010 edited October 2010

There's the editing page where we put in the sheets we're working on, that list all the ones currently in production or development:- "http://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates":http://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates

My first thought is that the newer version of textile must be parsing some of it that it shouldn't or that the CSS has changed for OP as a whole. I can only speculate though.

Actually, I remembered YouTube changed the sound on many of those, so you can find the originals "here":http://www.curufea.com/videos as soon as I finish uploading them :)

Ah, I'm an old hand with syncing to music, haviing done "many an FMV":http://www.curufea.com/Wikka/wikka.php?wakka=ArtVideos (mostly for Farscape) - I've got some decent editing software- Mediastudio Pro which makes it easier than using a free edito…

Hmm, after seeing your most excellent Wyrmshadow video, I'm going to have to do my own! Now where did I put that editing software?

I'm with you there - I really want my theme music for the campaign to play whenever someone logs into the site, oh well...

Need to change the semicolon to a colon there :)

I'm not keen on text as image for accessibility reasons. At least make sure you have alt text and preferably a title as well for mouseovers. Also the navigation menu is offscreen if viewed on a monitor with 1024 width (such as my secondary monitor…

True - I think the main problem was just using the flickr image's page rather than the direct link to the image :)

Here's some fiddling to "have a look at":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/paradox-diaspora/wikis/test-page Also note - try to use only double and single quotes - not angled quotes (ie don't copy and paste from this forum which converts to a…

Firstly, I wouldn't put in so many divisions - just use one division with all the styles in a single attribute- Secondly, I'd put in display block and put in the direct URL to the image, not the Flickr page- http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113…

No prob. I only read that part of the schema last week myself :) Although it was to help answer someone's question on the style attribute for a tag (again you can't do pseudo classes)
Curufea
in Thoughts? Too Distracting? October 2010

However, that being said - HTML5 may be a viable option if OP changes the schema declaration at the start of each page.
Curufea
in Thoughts? Too Distracting? October 2010

CSS for the pseudo classes must be declared in the head area of a page - this includes things like the hovering, visited and activated subclasses for links. So it's not coding - it's lack of access to anything other than the body of a page.

in Wide Wiki Tables? October 2010

Microsoft went with the "lets make it look EXACTLY like what things look like in Office, without in any way tidying the code or simplifying it". Which created the whole industry of software of "lets fix Microsoft code so it's readable and complia…

in Wide Wiki Tables? October 2010

Try using HTML code instead of textile? However, generally lots of columns in a table lack accessability - they aren't easy to read and you should be looking at a different way to express the information.

in Commenting out October 2010

Ah! Sorry, I was thinking of something else. I hadn't heard the phrase "commenting out" before - I'm familiar with commenting or documenting :) I don't think textile allows hidden text that you could use for adding comments to a page that would …

in Wiki Calendar? October 2010

You may need to allocate time for things and keep a record. Whenever someone asks, you can't just say "late afternoon" (which my last GM for a D&D-ish game was renowned for doing). You could date the sessions at the start of every session.

in Commenting out October 2010

If you use HTML for your wiki pages, most browsers allow the title attribute for any tag, so if they hover over the element, they'll get a hint.

in Wiki Calendar? October 2010 edited October 2010

I figure roleplaying sites in general aren't that popular (comparatively), and the amount of people wanting calendars would be an even smaller proportion of that. Although I suppose I could check analytics later and find out :) Besides I've not…

I'd put the navigation on the right - out of first view of the mobile browser. Page content is more important IMHO. It would be good to see a variant of a print stylesheet for mobiles though.

Okay, here's a script for folks- Just chuck that in your wiki and modify. I haven't made the colours or font (Ariel) customisable yet. List of parameters: *x* = width in pixels 100 to 800 *y* = height in pixels 100 to 800 *d* = total n…

However, that being said - I may be able to knock up a php script that produces an image as a calendar, I'll just check how strict the image HTML tags are in the wiki... Yep, it's do-able. Give me an hour or so and I'll knock up and host a scrip…

Heh, just thinking about my campaign and how non-linear time is in it that this wouldn't help much :) Personally, I recommend a "semantic list-based calendar":http://www.cssnewbie.com/list-based-css-calendar/ as it's easier to maintain a list tha…

FrankSirmarco - True. There always tends to be a problem when comparing things to unalike things. Happens in fandom all the time "this ship/character from this scifi show/comic/book" vs "this ship/character from this scifi show/comic/book" regardl…

DSTs are currently including in character wiki pages, something similar could be done for the main wiki pages. I've been pondering the use of jquery for navigation of the main wiki :)

in Thoughts? Too Distracting? October 2010

Yes, sadly you don't get php includes or HTML iframes (or even frames) to make the maintenance of headers, footers or navigation menus simpler :( It could potentially be abused - although a form of membership for OP that allows it might be an ide…

For Metascape II we used the soundtracks for Half-life, Half-life 2 and BSG For Dogs In The Vineyard we used the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou? In my current DWAITAS game I'm encouraging folk to listen to Nigel Fairs and Alistair Locke wh…
