User’s Guide- Elite: Dangerous Web App

[GreeceyChops]

On my community site long lists & spoilers are enabled with a custom BBcode that I added to the forums. This makes the whole lot sit within a single line until clicked on and expanded. If someone with admin permissions wants to add this to these forums people could share their lists without taking up page height.

<div id="spoiler"><div><input type="button" value="{option}" style="width:95%;color: rgb(30,30,200);font-size:14px;margin:10px;padding:2px;" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')['show'].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')['show'].style.display = ''; this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')['hide'].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Click to Close'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')['show'].style.display = 'none'; this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')['hide'].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = '{option}'; }" />
<div id="show" style="background-image:url(http://www.live.ukgamers.net/glyphs/angelssml.bmp); display: none; background-color:transparent; background-repeat:repeat; margin: 0px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px; padding: 4px; width:98%;color: rgb(10,10,255);font-size:12px;font-weight: bold">
{param}</div>
<div id="hide"></div></div></div>

Colours, fonts, sizes, and backgrounds can all be redefined to fit the forum style. For example the angels background should be replaced with a washed out Frontier or Elite image, or just plain blank.

That's a really neat solution.

I used to help run a forum and we had a rule that sigs could be no more than 4 lines of text or 1 banner-style image plus 1 line of text. That worked pretty well.

I did reply to your support email, so you should be able to access it now.

Thanks.

I appreciate that some want to let people know about their PC specs, but I have to agree ... not only is a 17 line sig going a bit too far, esp as it's all about that person's PC specs, but I also don't care what specs your PC is. I care what specs my PC is, and whether it will play the games I want to play.

I mean no offence to the person with the 17 line sig, but I ask him to consider a shorter sig ... maybe only CPU and RAM specs?

Its there for a reason, When the game comes out and were all talking about our performance regarding how the game runs, Well you can see why im getting 75fps blah blah blah.

Anyhow ill Shorten it for you people because i like you

As my old grandfather would say, it's all just a load of willy-waggling.

Well I didn't get a backer invite email but I did just get the email today to say I can login to the webapp.

I change my name on Kickstarter frequently, always the first part stays the same though.. how can I have received this email but not the one with the invite to setup the webapp?? I checked my spam folder for emails from edbackers@ but there is nothing.

Update: nevermind, when I was searching my spam folder I must have mistyped the search term and didn't see the email. Tried again and made sure I spelled it correctly.. and there it was!

Which reminds me of another custom BBcode I added for resizing large pictures. I was going to add a beautifully rendered Planet Express logo here the other day but it was waaaay too big. This for a custom BBcode would allow forums users to specify what size they want it be displayed with:

<img src={option} width={param} />

Quick question: I have received my backers email a few days back for picking commander name and so forth that is all sorted.

However just received another email about the app and the private forums.. with the option to link existing (normal) forums account with the backer private forums account, however there is no option to do this?

Am I blind or is this yet to be added?

Dumb question, but did you pay a high enough pledge to get access? It was certainly there when I looked, immediately after getting the email.

Is it the case, the soundcard, the headset, or the monitor that makes the most difference to frame-rate? I'm looking to upgrade my PC, and I'm not sure which one to get to make it run faster...

 

[Rads]

What is the position on VAT?

If I order to my international address then it should be free of VAT should it not?

Guess I just figured if they sent me a email about that I qualified? But you make a good point I will double check thanks for the tip.

I think it's the PSU. You could even put a couple in there to make it go extra fast.

Some people are interested in Machine stats and some people are not.
Ive shortened my Sig as people requested so i dont see what the problem is.

Why did you not put a link on the OP to the web app page?

Makes no sense to put a guide up without a link to what the guide is about.

Yeah I agree, very odd huh. It took me ages to find a link to the thing even though I'd signed up to it before, here you go https://elite.frontier.co.uk/backers/profile/?msg=success

 

[ParaSitius]

Are there any images of what the extras look like yet?

I want to see what design is on the mug before I fork over £20 for one, same with the t-shirt and concept art print.

I'm finding it very frustrating that there are zero links to images on the web app, do FD not want my money? :S

 

[Ashley Barley]

No available pictures of the mugs and T shirts yet I'm afraid, although we should have these soon hopefully. In regards to the concept art, the 4available options were chosen by a community poll and can be seen here

[Pete Clements]

[Ashley Barley]

Unsigned concept art was sent out earlier this week, so should be with you by this time next week at the latest I would think. We're also waiting for a consignment of prints from the printers ourselves, so we can get them signed and shipped out (obviously these will take a little longer to get to everyone, depending on the speed of David B's writing hand ).
