Jab, do you have a template we can use to do posts like you did for castleview hamlet and willow wood. i would like to do one for oakmyst forest, since its almost complete, and other zones as i get to them

i tried copy paste and that was a complete fail

Yes I do, had to add it as an attachment because no matter how I tried to paste it in the board it got messed up even if I used code or pre to prevent the bbcode tags from parsing...

This is saved as a draft for me so I just need to load it and change the details for the zone and post. A note on quests, I go to zam->database->quests->by zone->classic, find the zone and click it, copy and paste the list over and clean it up so it is just the zone name then I use the zam tags I added (should be a box above the posting area with the other bbcodes) and put it around the name.

For example a quest in permafrost is
Kromise Virh Savage

I can just highlight that line and hit the zam box above and it will turn it into a link like this


However there are some names that just won't work with this, like if it has " or #, in cases like this the link would need to be made the old way with copy and paste of url's.

Hehe, silly Jabantiz. There's a checkbox below Submit to disable BBCode :) You know, for future reference.


Also, doesn't DBE have a template built-in for zone scripts? If not, we could add that.

I think the original does but I believe it is not fully functional and locked for every one else. EQ2DB2 doesn't, never really got around to it because of my dislike for php.
