WEBSITE - Captains Database Improvement

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Just noticed, that in game if you want your Biography descrption to have some formatting you can add html line break markup.. ie. <BR>

This prevents the continuous word wrap that occurs normally, and comes in quite handy if you're doing something like creating a list of ships in your bio.

However the problem with doing this is that all those bits of markup are copied verbatim into the the captains database text. So on the website it actually looks like..
CAREER COMMAND POSTS:<BR>
Current Flag Ship: <BR>
USS Nimrodel (Star Cruiser)<BR><BR>

Alternate Flag Ship: <BR>
USS Wattisham (Assault Cruiser)<BR><BR>

Ships Of The Line:<BR>
USS Hatfield (Exploration Cruiser)<BR>
USS Coningsby (Heavy Cruiser)<BR>
USS Spike (Cruiser)<BR>
USS Caroline (Light Cruiser)<BR>

I think the webdevs could easily add in a little bit of code, whereby the formatting is kept but the markup is stripped out of the Captain Database!?

Not a major problem, but it'd look better.. and can't be that hard to fix! :)

    Aside from that, do the headshots of character seem extremely dark to anyone else?


    Also, Is it just my in game settings being wonky, or do they also seem to stretch the image out? (It fully may be my settings, there aren't many choices for my monitor's aspect ratio, and my computer's not good enough for large resolution settings, so I actually have to manipulate the settings a bit... in which case my characters are taller and thinner than I thought they were....:p)

    No, no.. you're right the images are dark and stretched in my experience. Though this is probably some side effect of the image capute in the game software, I imagine it'll probably be something a little bit more difficult to fix than the website code... but I may be wrong! :)

    On Away Missions, my entire team often shows up as CLOUDS instead of faces. What causes that?
