Rp Tutorials

So when I was doing the coding for my current game, I stumbled across this fabulous post, and I liked the idea. And then I decided that I wanted to give myself a permanent headache make a cast list that uses images instead of icons, and handwriting fonts because those are a pain in the ass pretty, and the crests from Pottermore because I like those, and all the things...so if you want a pretty cast list, aren't as lazy about opening photoshop/gimp/etc as I am, and don't care about it being slightly large and impractical, this is the cast list for you!

Long time stalker. First time code-poster.

So. I got a little bored a couple of days ago, and I squished about a zillion ideas together into these tables.

( Below the Cut )

I was bored and didn´t want to do my schoolwork, therefore I coded Hogwarts-themed taken-character tables. They are very simple and I hope ones like this haven´t been made million times before. Perhaps someone will find them useful.

I like my codes simple with a lot of information on little space. Hover over the character image to see the name of the character and the player, click the picture to be taken to the character profile.

I know right?

It took me a few days and several hours to figure this out so I'd appreciate it if you credited rp_tutorials. Or you can pay me in cookies. Whichever is easier for you. Mkay?

( THE CODE )

Leave any questions or feedback in the comments, thanks!

A new character list code. Mades with Divs with two-part coding the eliminate the character table shuffle!

Hot on the trail of my self-shuffling alphabetize-able character table, I've made this:


AND I've made code so that you can insert it into a DIV table in alphabetical order so you don't have to shuffle and rearrange every time you add someone! Check out the code HERE!

The version to paste into the table also includes hover text for a PB name and a link to the journal. Two images required, but both are 100x100 so you can use a player's icon and upload your school logo to an icon slot. Let me know if something isn't clear.

Sliding Character table!

First I'd like to credit that I modeled this code off of This table. It's modified from something the mods found here, but I can't track it down. If you have a link, please comment and I'll edit to credit.

The goal was to create a character table that you can easily alphabetize without having to shuffle rows every single time you add or remove a character. It's all Divs of constrained size inside a constrained sized table, so it basically works like text-wrapping.

Here is the code! Just copy and paste sections to insert new characters or delete to add. The cells should slide around so you don't have to do the table shuffle!

( character table/directory )

chaperoned asked me if I could post the code that I wrote for my CDJ's character directory, so here it is =D The rules on how to use the code, including extra code for adding more rows are under the cut!

The live preview can be seen here in my CDJ. I'm afraid you can no longer view the live preview because I've changed my directory. This is a snapshot of what it used to look like. Be warned, the picture is over 300kb.

The code for that particular table, under the LJ-Cut, will look like the following initially, before you change the colours, the text, and the fake!broken tiny icons.



Please follow the instructions under the cut using the provided blank codes. If you need any help, leave a comment =)

I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me credit in whatever disclaimer or credits post you have in your journal, so a simple Character Directory code by bonemeal would be great.

I was going through my game's codes out of curiosity/boredom and though I realized that I took most of our codes from here and modified them due to my own laziness, I have a couple I made myself of which I'm fairly proud, even though they're simple. I figured hey, if anyone's interested, might as well contribute. :)

Both codes are Harry Potter-specific, but could probably be modified to fit other games, especially the first, which is a Hogwarts class schedule for 6th/7th year students only.

My other code offering today is a taken characters list. The thumbnail shows the table with some characters taken and some not taken (to see a live example of this, click here), but the code underneath is for a completely blank table.

The following is a simple cast list designed for HP characters. The characters are assigned to their houses by colored divider bars, so if you want to have the colors mean something else it could be easily adapted to other types of games.

The following is a very simple character table designed for Harry Potter school games.

This is pretty complicated HTML wise, lots of cells and rows and nested tables, so I would caution newer-html users away from this parcticular one.
