Whicker -> commandops.github.io (6/29/2018 4:52:06 AM)

I made a little website:
https://commandops.github.io/
As a newb to the scenario editor I struggle trying to find stuff, it is all over the place. It seems like it should be easier.
- I resurrected the inst web based designer that George Hedfors (?) made a while back but had stopped working.
- I added a list of inst files that would be easy to maintain - any file in a particular folder will show up in the list.
- There is a list of Lua code samples that can be added to by filling out a simple form.
All this is hosted on GitHub, any interest in helping maintain it would be appreciated - you can do a pull request or if you really know your way around and want to actively work on it I can make you a collaborator. There is a link to the repo in the footer.
The inst Designer: https://commandops.github.io/inst-designer/ needs more testing - it won't work on Edge and probably internet exploder - stick with Chrome, though I did try it with FireFox and it worked. Most of my testing is just to make sure it downloads something - though I have pulled a few into the game and they looked correct to me (though I have since modified the code a bit, need to import some more to make sure I didn't break it). Once I did get an empty file for some reason but I have not seen that again. The Maps API is not free, but I get a certain amount of use as a credit, I'm pretty sure it is more than enough to cover any legit use.
I also have a rough plan to have a public scoring log - though I think there is going to be a limit on how far I get with that. I am using StaticMan to run my form for the code samples, and that same idea would work with game results - like name, scen name, score, and losses and expenditures, but I am not sure I will be able to break that out into separate pages due to how the staticman things works. Still thinking about it.
Here is a link to the form to submit a code sample - feel free to submit something if you have something worthwhile - but don't just test it with dummy data - it should show up on the home page in a minute or two:
https://commandops.github.io/code-sample-entry-form/
I will end up hiding that page to keep it from getting spammed - not quite sure how just yet. It should be fine for a few days.
I plan to make some notes on the repo of how to add stuff, it should be easy. I only added a few inst files to that list, I'm a little hesitant to just vacuum up anything I see and put it there. Could use some help with that. Same thing with links, there are a handful, could use some more.
There's all kinds of stuff that could be added, open to any suggestions, though no guarantee on how long I keep at it.
Just to be clear, anything and everything on that site is free to anyone to download, copy, fork, clone etc. Hopefully George is ok that I forked his repo!
