Resource Tip Cards 1.2

[wrigty12]

What I eventually want is to emulate Scarlet/Violet's adventure guide.
I had a list like this before, but I ditched it for your plugin because it's nicer in other ways.
Is this kind of list planned, or should I go ahead and tweak the plugin? View attachment 26556

There's not enough room for the list AND the preview, but a list that then switches to the tip selected when you click it would be what I'm going for.
If you plan on doing that, I'll just wait.

Groups and the group header already acts like that list, just without the list view always on screen. For instance, you just make a group called Crouching and add both tips about crouching to it. Add all the other groups too (Catching Pokemon, Battling against Wild Pokemon, etc.) all with their associated sets of tips. After the player sees all of those, and you use the Adventure Guide item (or other revisiting group commands directly), you'll be able to move between the groups just like you can on the Scarlet Violet list

Yeah, I've done it. I was just wanting more of the multiple items showing as a vertical list. But that's okay

Once I'm able to get back to my computer, I'll look into adding it as an option. Shouldn't be too hard to add

That would be legendary. No rush of course. You're providing a free service :)

wrigty12 updated Tip Cards with a new update entry:

Update 1.2 - More settings and showing a list of groups

BEFORE UPDATING ANY FILES: If you have made any edits to the 000_Settings file, make sure to make a backup of that files before updating the plugin. If you copy over files to update, it will overwrite your changes.

Change Log

My goodness, the speed. I'll try it out soon

Works well!
I'm just gonna tweak it for my project so the list shows to begin with rather than being a toggle (if you have seen more than 1 group) :)
Thank you!

wrigty12, this is an amazing script, thanks so much!

I just wanted to report one thing -- it's not really a bug, but you still might be able to "fix" it?

Your script works with the usual <icon=iconName> codes, but they appear 9px too low down:

(In my example, the word "Action" in the icon should be perfectly lined up with the rest of the text.)

Also -- despite (literally) hours of Googling, I can't figure out how the colour codes work in your script. How on earth 0999367C relates to that shade of red is beyond me. Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks again for the script, it's going to be so useful for my project!

For the color, it's just the 15-bit hexadecimal system used by essentials, where the first 4 digits are for the base color, and the last 4 are for the shadow color. You can read about it here: https://essentialsengine.miraheze.org/wiki/Messages

For the icon, not sure why it would look that way as I believe I'm just using normal text rendering provided by Essentials. But I'll look into it
