in 5e dynamic sheet issues April 2015

A month isn't actually too bad, in my experience. That kind of time can easily lapse between game sessions, for example, if you play every other weak and miss a session now and then, and even if you play more often, sometimes there's no need to upda…

h3. SVG Setup With the source material in hand, it’s time to work the magic and build our SVG file. The file starts out with a set of tags which defines that it is, in fact, an SVG, and it’s dimensions. Everything else will go inside these tags: …

If you're familiar with HTML, creating SVG images will seem relatively simple. SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics is an image format which uses a markup language just like HTML to draw, lay out, and animate elements within a single picture. By taking …

in Faster Font Changes April 2015

I've noticed the same thing in the past, and done a little digging. If memory serves, it's because the way the site is loading the fonts causes them not to be cached, so they get loaded from the Google servers new each time. Annoying, certainly, but…

in Feedback on Responsive 5e Dynamic Character Sheet April 2015

At the moment, since I can't change a sheet's ownership at all, it would definitely be faster to create a new one.

Usually a sheet will have a link to its creator's profile. If it doesn't, you can always look it up on the master "sheet list":https://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates.

in Feedback on Responsive 5e Dynamic Character Sheet February 2015

Good timing - sort of, anyway. I hadn't checked the forums in a while, and stopped in tonight. Unfortunately, though I can approve sheets, I don't have the ability to change their ownership. There are actually several that I've been waiting to get t…

in Importing DND4E files into Dynamic Character Sheets November 2014

I don't think the original project was ever actually completed. As the creator of the 4E sheets, I'm more than willing to help out though, to the extent I can. Most of it would be up to you, but I can certainly walk you through the structure of the …

in DST in progress question August 2014

Yeah... looks like something is jacked up there, but I'm not sure what at a quick glance. I don't see an obvious problem with your setup. I'd suggest reporting it through the bug system.

in Noob CSS August 2014

Since you're using opaque images, there's actually a super nice and easy way to do this using multiple background images: You'll want a handy class in your CSS: bc. .sidebar{ background-image: url('https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/cam…

It's probably worth noting that _colspan_ and _rowspan_ aren't allowed by the parser, so they just disappear when you try to use them.

in DST in progress question August 2014

Did you try saving the character, and then hitting edit again? If I remember correctly there was a problem a while back where sheets wouldn't always load correctly when you first selected a new template, and I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or mi…

I've got my working version up on "GitHub":https://github.com/ChainsawXIV/DST as well, for folks to use or reference (or contribute changes to, if they're so inclined). Specifically, here's the "new dynamic list code":https://github.com/ChainsawXIV/…

in Dynamic Character Sheets August 2014

I've actually switched over to saving a JSON blob in a single field with my latest generation of development. It's way easier to manage in a whole range of ways, and isn't really a problem unless there are a bunch of folks developing technically-dis…

in Please Help Test My New DST Tech! June 2014

I will, and all existing sheets will be automatically converted when I do. The delay on that - aside from me just being busy that is, heh - is actually the same reason that some of the sheets don't have all the previous features, like tool tips: som…

in Please Help Test My New DST Tech! May 2014

Looking at those two bugs your reported: Line breaks are semi-intentional. At least, I consciously chose not to prevent them, because there's nothing fundamentally wrong with having multiple lines in those fields. I can definitely understand how …

in Please Help Test My New DST Tech! May 2014

The testbed file doesn't load any of the default OP stuff, so it's not running the functionality that does the normal fields. Thus, only the stuff that totally bypasses the DST system like lists will work in that context. That's a thing that can be …

in Please Help Test My New DST Tech! May 2014

If you check out the testbed.html files in either of the two sheet specific folders in the repo, that's basically my answer to the old dev kit setup, which just hasn't been updated in several years. Nothing all that fancy going on there really. A…

Thanks for the notes. Some of the issues may be browser specific, so it'd be helpful to know what browser you encountered them on. I've been meaning to set this up in a repo, so I finally did: "https://github.com/ChainsawXIV/DST":https://github.c…

in DST - Changeling the Lost March 2014

Found the problem: The _Changeling: The Lost_ DST is set as a sheet type for _World of Darkness_ games, rather than _Changeling: The Lost specifically_. If you switch your game system setting over to that, you should see what you're looking for.

in DST - Changeling the Lost March 2014 edited March 2014

Have you set the game type for your campaign (Settings -> Basic Settings -> Game System) to Changeling: The Lost? If not, that's your issue almost certainly. Once you have that set, you should see a drop-down menu whenever you edit a charac…

in Limit Character Portrait Size on Character Sheets March 2014

Is that a dynamic character sheet (and if so, for what system), or is that an HTML template your players are copy-pasting into their character's description? Either way, the answer will be similar to what Thorvaldr suggested up above, it'll just hav…

in A Totally Unofficial CSS Help & Tips FAQ January 2014

You can use _background-attachment:fixed_, which will simply cause the background image to remain stationary behind your content. Note though that the background image will then be positioned relative to the whole page, not the element you put it on…

Heh... !important is kind of a trap that way. It makes things so easy, until it doesn't. I'll try to figure out a better way to introduce people to the specificity thing - I'm self taught too, and I didn't get it for years - but that will be a littl…

in A Totally Unofficial CSS Help & Tips FAQ January 2014

Without being able to test it directly, I'm guessing the the thing that's really blowing you up here is that when you do your _font-family_ callout of Trade Gothic, you have two single quotes before it, and one double quote after it, which is causin…

Put down the !important flag, and step away... :p It looks like the issue you have here is that you're using !important in (not to put it too bluntly) a completely inappropriate way. CSS rules take precedence over each other in a relatively simpl…

in A Totally Unofficial CSS Help & Tips FAQ January 2014

Hiding an entire element can be done with _display:none_. By comparison, _visibility:hidden_ hides an element's content, but keeps that element taking up its usual space within the layout. The _display_ property has a number of other useful values, …

Alrighty Odhinn, I got your invite (though you need to also set me to co-GM so I can access the campaign setup section), and I've got your changes ready to go in template form. We just need to talk about what specific colors you want to use for ever…

in Help sought for Empire Apocalypse https://empire-apocalypse.obsidianportal.com/dashboard January 2014

Hey there! Let's see if we can get you sorted out here. Probably the easiest way is for you to invite me to the game as a Co-GM, so that I can update the CSS for you (and of course explain what I'm doing as things get sorted out). Alternately, we ca…
