    It only works in Multiplayer. Just in case you are wondering about it in your Singleplayer game.

    • Added some hover info hints for buttons.
    • Added Save toolip once tool saved your changes.
    • Changed teal Plus button (Add Object) is always left now.

    You have to press F5 (reload the page) every time a patch comes out to apply the changes.

    Is there a place where all the checks are explained ? There are actually explanations for the 3 first checks when clicking on the question mark besides the "check" button ; are there more of these hints available somewhere ?

    Only in my brain so far, sorry.
    Whenever time allows I will add them in the documentation there.

    Mindblown - A huge web application all written apparently by hand. Sure as nuts hope this is not a solo effort. Nice job.

    Thank you for the nice words!
    It is not a solo effort, Hayawen helped me massively to setup the initial YAML, CSV, ECF parsing. Now I am good to go to handle the rest :)
    So it's a duo effort.
    And yes, Hayawen is very strict to write everything himself, by hand, in pure javascript, and don't use external librarys (for example the drag and drop feature).
    For my own convenience I added jQuery... but psst, don't tell Hayawen :D

    A monster patch for eWCCT is coming soon (public)...
    Until then there is nothing worse than inconsistency. So I added the top navbar from eWCCT also to eWPDA.

    [​IMG]

    25.11.2020 | v1.15.0
    • Added a top navigation like done with eWCCT. Faster navigation when importing stuff all the time.
    • Changed some style / contrast. Adaption from eWCCT.

    I think this is the best place to ask this question , though it is not related to eWPDA. After I make my missions where do you paste the PDA files for the multiplayer server ?

    MP Scenario has the same structure as SP Scenario.
    So put them at same place and do a server restart. Done.

    • Added Export Feedback. In combination with this chrome extension you don't have a "Save as" Dialog anymore. 1 click export, done. Become a Patron and I show you exactly how :D

    • Improved text break line handling... maybe one day I can make it perfect but it's really tricky to solve such workarounds we are forced to do here..
    • Fixed some html/text conversions.

    It gets old that I always think that I am finally ready with my tools... but once I start working with them myself I can't resist to polish them. Hope you don't mind :)

    The PictureFile property is very old but never visible really. No more. In combination with SharedData, it's one of the new highlights of using the PDA!

    04.12.2020 | v1.17.0
    • Added Image Support!! Together with the upcoming SharedData change, this is a great way to see your images right away in the Browser! It took me one day to figure out the best way to do it. Right now I convert your jpg/png files into base64 binary data and store it as string in your Browsers Localstorage. I have to do it like that, cause Localstorage can only store ~5MB of data. That means, if you clear your localstorage, you have to "reupload" all of your images again, to see them on the website. If you import your PDA.yaml file you also have to make sure it is right / "reupload" the right one.
    • Added new Dialogues Properties into the parser (Barking, Functions, etc.). It is needed for the Dialogues.ecf import and suggestion.
    • Added Picture File documentation how it works in combination with SharedData.

    Hey PDA Creators,

    with Patch 1.3 there is also coming organization to the rescue regarding your NPC Factions.
    The obsolete ZiraxMission, TalonMission and PolarisMission is not longer used, those Tabs ingame are removed and you structure your PDA now with Groups.
    Such Groups are displayed in a special way in the game.
    Read the documentation I provided here to learn more about it.

    upload_2020-12-9_9-42-7.png

    upload_2020-12-9_9-44-55.png

    I added also a button for convenience working with Groups:

    upload_2020-12-9_9-40-59.png

    09.12.2020 | v1.18.0
    • Added new Group Property.
    • Added new Faction Property. For now all Faction fields are predefined lists. You have to insert manually your Factions from the game and/or your Factions.ecf. Later I try to make an Import feature, that crawls the Factions.ecf and suggest all NPC Factions for you.
    • Added (Group Name) in special color in the Tree at the left to better see it. I can't do it better for now.
    • Added documentation for Group and Faction Properties.
    • Added Journey Book as new Category.
    • Added new button at the top, near Keyboard Hint button, to reload the Tree List. Useful if you changed / added Groups but don't want to reload the page.
    • Increased left Tree list width.
    • Fixed unused yaml tags during export (ReputationLevel and PlayerCredits).

    You have to press F5 (reload the page) every time a patch comes out to apply the changes.

    Thank you for keeping this updated!
    And tell the PDA dev that's also a very nice addition to organizing the PDA better.
