== New Easy Crew Nav == | |||
==SB118 Ops Crew Nav== | |||
I've converted your crew nav to a new "Easy Template" version. Full instructions are available here: '''[[Template:Crew]]'''. | |||
===Among the New Features:=== | |||
===Simplified format to add officers=== | |||
No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly! | |||
<pre>{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}</pre> | |||
For example, just add: | |||
<pre>|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}}</pre> | |||
to get the next officer's tile added to the nav. | |||
|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}} | |||
===<font color=red>IMPORTANT NOTE</font>=== | |||
If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character '''|''' after their name. | |||
<pre>{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}}</pre> | |||
{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}} | |||
===Automatic placement of blank portrait=== | |||
Places the [[:File:Roster-blank.jpg|blank portrait roster image]] if no roster image specified. Example: | |||
<pre>{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}</pre> | |||
{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}} | |||
===Automatic resize of roster image=== | |||
If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image. | |||
{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|Jaxxhorse.jpg}} | |||
===Support for '''Nicknames/Abbreviations=== | |||
If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example: | |||
<pre>{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}</pre> | |||
{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}} | |||
===Simplified color names=== | |||
'''<font color=maroon>Red</font>, <font color=darkgoldenrod>Gold</font>, <font color=steelblue>Blue</font>, <font color=teal>Teal</font>, <font color=purple>Violet</font>, <font color=black>Black</font>, <font color=dimgray>Silver</font>, <font color=darkgreen>Green</font>''' | |||
===No need to change colspan=== | |||
Table automatically keeps header and footer centered. | |||
===Ship placeholder image=== | |||
Can be easily specified if there is an odd number of officers. | |||
<pre>{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}</pre> | |||
{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}} | |||
{{Crew | |||
|SHIP = StarBase 118 Ops | |||
|ROSTER PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew | |||
|NPC PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops NPC Personnel | |||
|HISTORY PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew History}} | |||
