Question for you Pat.

Thinking of extra-curricular art malarkey, how big a job would it be to have your app reference separate TableTop .jpgs? Currently most of the sub-pages reference the one, which is nice for what I've already done in the medal room as that now shows in most of the other rooms too. But it would be nice if I (and others too maybe) could customize each of those rooms/table tops uniquely. Immersive eye-candy so to speak. 
If it would involve major coding work I'll collect my coat and fek orf. ? 

 

I have no idea how to post an image and then hide it (for stuff with swazis).

You can already do it.  Got to PWCGBoS\BoSData\Input\Configuration

 

You will see a file called ScreenImageOverrides.json

 

Change the image name and that image will be used as the background.  The names are a bit cryptic but I think most can be figures out.  A few newer screens are not be listed (I rebuilt the file so next release) but most are.  Small issue with my implementation is that it will be overwritten on every release, so keep a backup of your edits.  

 

Make sure that the image files are in a directory where PWCG can find them.  The same directory as the original should work.

Oh my gawd, you truly are a genius. I'm quite blown away by that. Thank you Pat, you've just provided days of entertainment with that gem of foresight and dedication. ?

Being honest, it was somebody else's gem of foresight   - I just followed through on it. The best UIs in PWCG are other people's work. 

 

I am a server side developer to the core.  You want to create a distributed system to support a multi billion dollar corporation I can tell you all about how to do that.  You want to apply a style sheet to a web page, I am not the right guy.  This lets other people do things that they enjoy and the community can enjoy as well, as I am happy to integrate improvements.

I have no idea now if the coding for making medals appear in the medal box is your work, or even if it's too big a job to re-model if it is, but here's the shizzle I'm currently looking at. I do it manually with a photoshop file but you might be interested in creating it to work with your app. I would have sent you this via PM but it doesn't allow zips or images in there. If it's something you fancy doing I'll send you all the images.

The medal box requires a combination of images and code.  The code determines which images to display and where to place them, so that is not something that can be done with Photoshop or Gimp (what I use).  

 

What you have is a very LW centric theme and placement is quite different.  At the moment the code only supports placing the medals in a row, and that is used for all nations and services.  To do what you are looking for would probably require a placement algorithm for each service that knows exactly where each medal goes.  I did it for the paper doll, so it can be done, but that is not in place today.

No worries Pat, it's not something I'm after for myself, I'm quite happy doing it manually in PS (takes a couple of minutes for each change).
