Just finished to put my first character on the Primus Database and am now craving appreciation... erm, I mean kindly asking you for distinguished opinion, of course. :biggrin: I have rewritten the background from earlier versions and had not yet time to re-read it and fix errors, gonna do that first thing tomorrow.
See here for the current version of the character:
http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Marksmaid
A similar page for the original CoH character may be found here, note that I changed some things:
http://union.virtueverse.net/wiki/Marksmaid
If anything that is not particularly interesting and may be cut, or anything that is on the CoH page that you think should be on the CO page as well, let me know. And the same if there is any detail of the description you find horribly lacking.
The next projected changes are spell checking and the remaining costumes.
Characters on Primus DB (and their Nemeses):
Marksmaid |
Tenebris (Xalara) |
Virtue |
Dawnblaze (Sister Nightfall) | Rhinegold:
Julie &
Magdalena

I tried to adjust the page to use not templates, as it is custom on mediawikis, but a CSS sheet. I had no previous experience with CSS3 so it took me a couple of about 20 hours of work to create it, but now it's there. Looks acceptable, though it has some flaws yet. The problem is - getting the CSS into it.
For now I've made screenshots, pasted them together in the GIMP and uploaded all the stuff as image. If I had wanted an image file I'd have created one to start with - that would have been easier than working into CSS3. Now I loose one the key benefits, that it scales automatically to the user's font size, including the image in it. There is also the disadvantage that it can't contain links anymore. Plus, you can't copy and paste from it, let alone the file size (though I think 274kB are acceptable).
So the question is:
The problem I have with templates is that they are pretty static regarding the content. A dynamic amount of content, contents which are block elements itself, automatic alternation of background colors and treating first and last elements automatically differently seems difficult.
