GOG3 Library Recruitment

Yes the WC4 Library is good to base other libraries on, since most ET games follow the same logic of Campaigns + Conquests. You don't have to be that goog at BBCode, just open up the code and observe which set of codes result in what being displayed in your actual post. Most guide links can be created by pressing "Link" in the post functions, and then inserting the forum guide URL there. Pop-up boxes widely used for libraries (specifically, spoilers found in the post functions), can be edited upon without using BBCode (you can write things in it using Preview)


The Punic Wars


For instance, in this basic set of codes for a Great Conqueror Rome forum library above, you see a title, followed by a spoiler box, which opens up to display a clickable guide link. In this whole coding process, you only require the forum guide that you want to display (http://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/11102/illyrian-kingdom), and the code to create the spoiler box, both actions actually don't require you to type the code. The forum functions do that for you.

Click "Insert Spoiler" at the last button of the post functions (its a emoji face that has a shhhh ((silence)) gesture). In the spoiler text, just type something random first and when you click insert the box will appear. Afterwards, you can add the spoiler title above the spoiler (in this example its The Punic Wars). 

Next, place your mouse cursor (computer works best for forum usage) in the spoiler box and click Link in the post functions (its the image of the Earth with the document on the right, this functions is right beside the Horizontal Rule and the Email functions). For text, simply insert what you want your guide link to appear as (in WC4 it might be Germany 1939, for this example its Illyrian Kingdom). For URL link, just copy and paste the forum guide you want people to be redirected to once they click the text (http://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/11102/illyrian-kingdom). Once done, you can highlight the text and give it a font colour if you'd like (libraries do this to code them as easy/normal/hard). 

That's basically it to starting a really simple but effective library tool. Just populate it with guides and organise things well, and im sure it will be of benefit to the forum board! 

In response to Omar Bradley (cant quote you up sorry), perfect clear guides probably won't come that soon until more forum users actually reach the late-mid / endgame for GOG3 which I'd predict would be in a month with professional like stoic haha. In the meantime, what you need to do first is to insert the basic clear guides in the library, and afterwards you can add a bracket beside the basic clear guide for each campaign stage, and then inserting your perfect clear guide that is preferably in another colour to distinguish it from the basic clear guide. Something like this:


Illyrian Kingdom (Illyrian Kingdom Perfect)

So I guess I'll be making the library then. I'll get to learning some basic BBcodes and I'm gonna start working on it as soon as possible! Wish me luck everyone!!

Thanks I'm in the process of adding the guides feel free to point out the flaws in my library so I can fix them

I think that you can help by creating a thread listing all the general's discussions perhaps or a more easy job would be to make campaign guides for campaigns that don't have any so I can put them in the library

Just some links for your reference if you wanna start work on the general list. The first two links take you to an example of the general list in EW6:1914 and WC4 respectively. The third link of a general's thread (in this example its WC4 Guderian) depicts how the system should look like. A poll to rate the general, the general's photo and stats, and lastly a neat table (the code here is quite complicated for beginners since the forum post function for tables doesnt work anymore iirc, I can attach the link to the table code crafting if needed) for easy redirection to all the available generals.
