Once that's done we've cleared the last major hurdle, and the rest is just data transfer. The new system will be on parity with Quark, though thinking on it, there's ONE more thing, which is selecting and printing sheets of items on their own.
But that'll almost be trivial to set up.
As I've got all the other components.
I'd REALLY wanted this system to be usable by Wander this past year, but I obviously missed that mark. My current goal is to if not get it totally on line for Zenkai this year, get damned close.
I'll admit I'm kinda doing this in a messy way, but I can clean it up on another refactor/version.
One of the benefits of the way the system is built is I can make and test a new dev system while the prod system is life.
Oh, yeah also got the button working that will swap between a double sided and single sided setup with single side such that front and back will ALWAYS appear next to each other in the print.
I'll freely admit that the final goal I'm after is more saving paper than ease of folder stuffing, so items WILL get jumbled when printing multiple characters
I’m so excited to be able to finally stop using my old laptop that I’m only keeping around because I don’t want to reinstall Quark and all the dumb fonts we’re currently using on a new machine
Soon I can exclusively use my new one and make all my sheets with the new setup
And the best part?? We're not going from an unchanging format to another unchanging format!!! If something needs to change to look better WE CAN CHANGE ALL OF IT IT IN THE WEEK.
At this point I might hold off on writing the rest of the Visions of Mana classes if two sided items are working, that’s such a pain to do in Quark
Did you get line breaks on item cards working?
Basic line breaks, yes. Also got underlining to work.
use double hyphen to start or end an underline.
as for using the new system, I suggest holding off on putting anything in til we start the dump process in earnest...which should start next week thereabouts.
but once we start that... have at it
Yeah there's a lot of junk in the system that just needs to be cleaned out (Item cards, mainly)
