For those who compose their posts out of game while RPing - IvikBlack - 10-20-2017

Here's a little tool I made:

Has a lot of neat features, I think. Not perfect, but I hope someone gets some use out of it.

This is quite cool. I will try it out!
I usually post in game but I don't think it is efficient. Does this have a built-in character limit proportional to FFXIV's chat?

This is lovely! Bumpbumpbumpbump.

I do have to say that this is very handy! Totally will be bookmarking this! Thanks for the heads-up!

Yep! The character limit is set exactly to FFXIV's chat limit. It'll tell you how many characters you are using and how many posts that requires, and if you click split it'll auto-split them with (continued) at the end so your partners know there's more to read.

Impressive.
If you don't mind me asking about a technical aspect about the tool: What did you use to code it?

This is an awesome idea. I'll be trying it out soon.

At a glance, it looks like everything someone would need to compose a post.

The interactive stuff is written entirely in Javascript with HTML for the 'output' essentially and css to style it. In short, every button has a 'function' attached to it that manipulates the text or performs some kind of browser action based on rules I've defined. It's just complicated text parsing and formatting. I bought the domain name and have it hosted via google's cloud storage platform (which is neat).

I'm kind of new to all of this or it wouldn't have taken me as long as it did to write it, I bet. It took a lot of revisions cause I made a lot of mistakes along the way Blush

Oh! I am so going to try this out!!


RE: For those who compose their posts out of game while RPing - SapphireSkylines - 10-21-2017

Woo! Something that will help me from being redundant and will let me check my spelling. Going to try this.

Between counting characters and the spell checker I'd say this is better than what I use for out of game stuff too. Surprise
