| Post subject: | Bio Changes |
Quote: _Bio [R,B,N,A] [text]\nOptions: If you use [R]evert you set the bio back to the character creation version, you can leave [Text] open. [B]reak adds a linebreak (return) to the end of your current bio, you can leave [Text] open. [N]ew overwrites current bio with [Text] and adds a space to the end. [A]dd appendeds to the current bio with [Text] and a space. \nExample: f_Bio Add Stop metagaming!\nThis adds 'Stop metagaming! ' to your current bio.
I am kinda stupid, could you give me a lil primer on this? Do I have to type the words ADD, BREAK, NEW and REVERT in full, or would just an A,B,N, or R be sufficient? Do I need to put \n at the end of the final line, or every line? |

the \n looks like a funny code comment that he probably pasted from the script. Assuming it works like our DM system, you would type _Bio N This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. This blanks out whatever your bio was, and sets "This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds." as your bio. Then we type _Bio B And now w have a line break. Now we type _Bio A He is garbed in full plate armor and has a gigantic greatsword on his back. The end result is now: "This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. He is garbed in full plate armor and has a gigantic greatsword on his back." To erase all that and go bakc to what you put in at creation, we do: _Bio R And the above is blanked out and you're returned to the creation bio. Hope this helps! |

Everything must be said in the SHOUT channel, I believe, and with "f_" instead of just "_" |

is it possible that this same system of adding to a document (aka Bio) could be put inpalce with the Scribe system, so when we scribe book's or paper's we can add a far more detailed information to the books by continuing to scribe in them as time move's on, a character could even Scribe a IC Journal as well as Books on a wide Variety of IC research. and entire libary of player created books. |

Uh...it already is? Scribes can do name, bio, and append to bio. I've done it. Several times. |

A combination of teh posts above with some corrections and additions: First of all, you need to use these commands in the SHOUT channel. Secondly, it's caps insensitive. So, "f_bio b" is the same as "f_Bio B". I think you shouldn't use "F_", though. Examples f_Bio N This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. This blanks out whatever your bio was, and sets "This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds." as your bio. Then we type f_Bio B And now we have a line break. Now we type f_Bio A He is garbed in full plate armor and has a gigantic greatsword on his back. The end result is now: "This man stands six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. He is garbed in full plate armor and has a gigantic greatsword on his back." To get an empty line you use f_Bio B twice. To erase all that and go back to what you put in at creation, we do: f_Bio R And the above is blanked out and you're returned to the creation bio. |

ds_j append There's no linebreak code, so to add a space in between bits of text, use: ds_j bio blahblahstuffhere ds_j append [put the space after the word append, but leave this part blank and hit enter] ds_j append morestuffgoeshere will give you: Quote: blahblahstuffhere
morestuffgoeshere I've done this with scribe on a sign I bought from a carpenter for a nice in game advertisement, as well as on an empty tome, now called my "spellbook" with a brief description that it's a spellbook. I believe the dm's/disco do not want books being scribed that are extravagently long, though, as it bulks up character file sizes causing lag, or some such. I'd recommend keeping such things no more than 1 "screen" in size - that is, not having to scroll to see it all. |

Yes, please keep your journals out of the game itself. The forums are a good place for "inagame books". Books REALLY bulk up your character, and big characters cause all kinds of errors and lag to other players. DMs can and will strip items off players, if their filesizes get too big. We especially focus on books and collectible items, those are the worst bulk-adders. But there's a sensible alternative to both: books to be kept on the forums, and collectible items (whatever it is that you collect) to be stored in a special storage item. |

If this really becomes a problem I will not hesitate to remove the append option from the scribe. |

Worked great. Thank you Disco and Tormak for helping a code illiterate player. I've only wanted to change my bio for about 11 levels....pretty much since five minutes after I started playin.

one last question. Is there any way to review your current bio without changing it? |

Hotkey the Examine tool in your quickslots, and use it on yourself. |

This is also useful if you want to read your summons' bios, or are bored and want to read the bios of other people in your party. |

Same. I've learned to wait until there's just one left now. |

I learned to do bios like this: /s f_bio n ... /s f_bio b /s f_bio b /s f_bio a ... /s f_bio b /s f_bio b /s f_bio a ... Etc. It spaces it out all nicely. Also - I don't think enough of the monsters/NPCs have bios. I love reading bios.... and I find a lot of them don't have any. It's depressing.

Yeah, I think that's the best way too. Makes doing the layout much easier. |
