Recent small improvements #6

Hi larpers!

Here is a summary of the small improvements recently added to Larpwriter:

• now in the list of characters it is indicated if a character has been sent by email. The date of mailing is shown in the character's page
• drop-down menus to select a person, group, player, organizer names are sorted alphabetically
• the list of organizers with their contact information is downloadable into an Excel file
• in edit mode, the button "Remove formatting " to delete all styles of selected text (the button is shaped like an eraser).

Thanks to Julian, Niko and Mik for their comments and suggestions!

New options for relationships and group memberships

Hello larpers!

The relationships between characters and the belonging of character to a group have been improved with several new options:

1. you can choose to not display the picture of a character when it is added to a group or linked with another character, eg if his face was never seen you can upload a picture to replace the photo of the character's player when it is added to a group or linked with another character, for example if he is known under another identity
2. you can choose to replace the name of a character by the name you want when it is added to a group or linked with another character, for example if the character is known to different people under different identities
3. you can add several times the same character to a group or link it several times with one other character, for example to simulate the fact that a character thinks to know two different people when in reality it is the same character

Thank to Mik to these suggestions!

PS: the second option replaces the old possibility of a second name for the characters. Only larps created before March 22, 2011 retain that option.

Donations in 2010

Hello again,

I've updated the donation page. Now it displays the annual operating costs to maintain the website (292 euros), and the donations received each year (90 euros in 2010).

The donations in 2010 did not cover the costs, but I am hopeful that in 2011 they will because much more larps using Larpwriter will be held in 2011.

Thanks by advance for your help!

Recent small improvements #5

Hello larpers!

Here is a summary of the small improvements recently added to Larpwriter:

• it is now possible to add / edit / delete internet links in documents, players, groups, characters...
• if you manage multiple larps, a new drop-down menu lets you switch from one to another directly without having to go through your account page
• we can now center, justify, right align the texts you write in Larpwriter
• also underline text
• finally, when you create a player from his application without creating at the same time his character, the character name and information he had requested are now stored in the 'More info' section of the player

Thanks to Ryan, thepimousse, Damien and Anna for their comments and suggestions!

Separation of PCs and NPCs

Hello,

The tab "Characters" has been separated into 2 different tabs "PCs" and "NPC" to better distinguish them. Thus you don't have to create anymore a specific group "NPCs".

NPCs also appear in the larp treeview in a separate branch.

Finally, it is now possible to associate a document to all the PCs, or to all the NPCs, or to all the PCs and NPCs.

You can always mix PCs and NPCs within a group.


In existing larps all characters appear in the "PCs" tab. You can edit those you want to move to the "NPCs" tab by flagging them "NPC". 


Thanks to Meriadeg for the initial suggestion of this idea!
