Hello all,

Because there is a bit more to tables, here's the additional guide to tables. this mainly deals with adding extra layout to the table, by combining the different tags discussed by GoldFish.

Tables: advanced
We now have the table with aspect warriors, however, it still looks a bit plain. Therefore, we are going to add some more detail to the table.

The first thing we could do, is to add a header text over each column. This is the same as making a new table row at the top of the table.

This gives us the following code:
Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr]
[td][/td]
[td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

In the new first row, we'll write what's in the column below, like this:

Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr]
[td]Aspect[/td]
[td]Description[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

This unsurprisingly gives the following table:
AspectDescription
Warp SpiderA warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry
Striking ScorpionHeavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.
Howling BansheeA quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.
Fire DragonsLightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour
Dire AvengersThe most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round
Shining SpearA rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks
Swooping HawksThe fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.
Dark ReaperLong range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry

However, this would still look very basic and chaotic, we are going to start using nesting of tags (i.e. using a tag in the scope of another tag). This is essentailly the same as the combining of tags that GoldFish explained.

We'll start by making the new row appear in bold, so that it stands out from the rest. This means that the code for the first column would now now look like:
Code: [Select]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b]Description[/b][/td]
[/tr]

Also, we want the second cell to center it's text, which means that the code becomes:

Code: [Select]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]

The code for the entire table is now:

Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Now, our table looks like this:
Aspect
Description
[/b]
Warp SpiderA warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry
Striking ScorpionHeavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.
Howling BansheeA quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.
Fire DragonsLightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour
Dire AvengersThe most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round
Shining SpearA rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks
Swooping HawksThe fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.
Dark ReaperLong range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry

Now we have a nice table, but we still lack detail in our description of the aspect warriors. Therefor, we are going to add some pro's and con's for each aspect. The best way to make a list of things, is to use the list-buttom (). This is the same as GoldFish explained, except that we are going to place the list in the cell with the description of the aspect warriors.

For example, our previous table row for the warp spider looked like:

Code: [Select]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]

Now, we are going to add the list to the second cell, which gives us:

Code: [Select]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry
[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Fast
[*] Heavily armoured
[/list][B]Con's:[/B][list][*] Expensive
[*] Short ranged weapons
[*] Bad AP on the guns
[/list][/td]
[/tr]

Using this, the result of the table is the following:

Aspect
Description
[/b]
Warp SpiderA warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry
Pro's:
  • Fast
  • Heavily armoured
Con's:
  • Expensive
  • Short ranged weapons
  • Bad AP on the guns
Striking ScorpionHeavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.
Howling BansheeA quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.
Fire DragonsLightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour
Dire AvengersThe most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round
Shining SpearA rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks
Swooping HawksThe fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.
Dark ReaperLong range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry

Now we'll do this for every aspect in the table, giving us the following code:

Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]

[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.
[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Good Str and # of Attacks.

[/tr]
[tr]

[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Fast

[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]

[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Fast

[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry
[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Extremely long range
[*] High Str, and # of shots
[*] Good AP
[/list][B]Con's:[/B][list][*] Expensive
[*] fragile
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

this code gives us the following end result:

Continuing Tables: advanced

As you see, this doesn't improve the readability of the table because the description part of the table has become too big. therefore, we are going to create more columns. One for the Pro's and one for the Con's of each aspect.

Again, we'll start by altering the code for the first aspect entry in our able:

Code: [Select]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[td][list][*] Fast
[*] Heavily armoured
[/list][/td]
[td][list][*] Expensive
[*] Short ranged weapons
[*] Bad AP on the guns
[/list][/td]
[/tr]

However, we can't display the result of this, as each table row needs the same number of columns. Therefore, we'll continue to apply these changes to each of the aspect entries, and the first row with the names.

The final code now looks like:

Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[td][b]Pro's:[/b][/td]
[td][b]Con's:[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[td][list][*] Fast
[*] Heavily armoured
[/list][/td]
[td][list][*] Expensive
[*] Short ranged weapons
[*] Bad AP on the guns
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[td][list][*] Good Str and # of Attacks.

[td][list][*] Fast
[*] Heavily armoured
[*] Good Str
[/list][/td]
[td][list][*] Very expensive
[*] No armour piercing ability
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away[/td]
[td][list][*] Fast
[*] good range
[/list][/td]
[td][list][*] Expensive

[*] Bad AP on the guns

[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[td][list][*] Extremely long range
[*] High Str, and # of shots
[*] Good AP
[/list][/td]
[td][list][*] Expensive
[*] fragile
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

This giives us the following table:

Aspect

[/b]
Pro's:Con's:

  • Fragile
  • Bad AP on the guns
Dark ReaperLong range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry
  • Extremely long range
  • High Str, and # of shots
  • Good AP
  • Expensive
  • fragile

It's a lot of work, but I think that we can be quite pleased with the end result :).

Ah - you got it. :: grin :: congratulations.

For remote linking images, simply right click on the image you want, the copy and paste the address.

For your signature [the stuff underneath your post] you have to put the following code exluding the "*".

Hope that works!

Not really a newbie question, but this seems to be the place to ask it:

Is it possible to resize images using YABBC? Like some sort of extension to the ['img] box tag? ['img=600*300] or something?

Yes, that can be done.

Code: [Select]
[img height=100 width=100]http://www.mydomain.com/mypic.jpg[/img]
That's all there is to it. Of course you can also just resize either width oor height (if you wantto make ... strange/stretched ... images.

I don't know if I'm at the right place to post this, but anyway:

How come that when I post, I see my reply (or topic) being put up twice or sometimes more than that!
Since I don't want to break any rules here, how is it that the
posts are repeatedly 'posted' even if I only hit the 'post' button once?

Another thing: I've posted more than once but my posts are still at zero... weird.

1. There are lots of double posts, and it is truly annoying when it happens. You have to be careful when you click "post" so you let the system load the response in time, and don't press it again, by mistake.
2. It is 2 now. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the postcount to appear.

Sounds ok to me, but if I count my posts in my profile menu there are more than 2... its not a cookie thing is it?
'Cause I clean out the cookie map quite often.

I delete all the double posts I create, but its still weird when you only use one click on the button or the alt + s shortcut...

Oh well, maybe its a querie thing.

Well, I've changed it now. I just loved both pics so much.

Also, I've figured out how to change the size- save it onto your computer, shrink it, post it to a website (I usefreewebs) and then use the URL of that one in your avatar.

Inserting Quotes

not sure if this has been done yet, if so then by all means delete this

it seems i wasn't the only one who didnt know how to quote so i thought this may be helpful as it took me quite a wile to figure it out through trial and error

How To Insert Quotes

when you are replying to a thread you can scroll down to see the previous posts, if you click on 'insert quote' then (wile keeping anything you have already written) the whole of that post will be added, with name/link etc. inc. automaticly in the quote form to your own post

NOTE- if you have a pop-up blocker then it must be turned off or have this site as one of those it accepts pop-ups from, otherwise the above will not work

you can then edit it how you like and then repeat for the same thread over and over again

also if (wile reading a thread) you click on 'quote' then it will start a new reply with the whole of the post automaticly posted with name/link etc. inc. this saves you having to do it the above way the first time and you dont have to go rigth to the bottom and click on 'reply'

Hi all,

Excellent resources and tutorials! One thing wasn't addressed, though.

How do you post images from your hard drive? Linking to an URL is well and good, but if one already has the images saved, or if they're not on the web, why not use those?

Thanks!

There is no way of posting local images (those on your drive). You need to upload them to somewhere that allows remote linking (as stated previously) to post them here.

Alas what Rasmus says is true however it's fairly easy to host them, just use something like Imageshack, it allows you to url pics on your comp and even provides the coding for you, and all for free.

For some reason I'm having trouble getting plus signs to show up (as in 5-plus or plus-1A) more than once.  Is there a reason why my plus signs disappear in the preview?

Previews screw up the plussign "+" for some odd codingreason. I am guessing that the plussign is interepreted as "code" and kept out, even though it posts ok. Don't worry about it.
