We are Evolving

  • Features that we talk about here are features that are planned for the first stable release of Pious Paladin. In it's Alpha stage not all features will be available, and many will not work correctly.

Pious is a big change

We fully expect there to be problems during the transtition. It's not a small transition either, and we know that. If you see something that is not working please give us your patience and rest assured ... nothing is getting cut. Worst case scenario will be a feature is delayed.
Pious Chat Features

The new chat in Pious Paladin uses the WebKit framework. This is the same development kit used in the Safari and Opera browsers. The new chat allows for up to date HTML definitions, including CSS. We also know users want to focus less on typing a lot of HTML code to get the benefits of HTML. The many added features make it easier for users who just want to game. It's simple, but revolutionary because it's so simple.

In earlier releases of OpenRPG the end-users required knowing and understanding HTML encoding to create nice looking chat effects. Pious Paladin puts the code in the background and makes it extremely easy for users to create a rich reading experience.

Simple Basic Formatting

The simple basic formatting of bold, italics, underline, and strikeout stay in chat. New chat parsing features allow you to add these basic formatting quickly. Much like a chat with an instant messaging client, IRC, and even Facebook chat, users can wrap they text around special characters to perform simple basic formatting.

Basic Formatting:

  • **Text** - will bold Text
  • \\Text\\ - will italicise Text
  • __Text__ - will underline Text
  • --Text-- - will strike Text

These new formatting features can be used in chat or inside nodes.

Reads Like a Book

New chat parsing features also allow end-users to create a rich reading experience that reads much like a book. The past chat implementation absorbed written chat with the emote or out of character command, making an entire string look like an action even if it contained dialog.

The new toolbars in Pious Paladin are truly amazing. The Pious Paladin dice toolbar functions just like the dice toolbar in Ornery Orc with one major change. It's now dynamic. Macros are now easy to set up and manage with their own toolbar. Filters and aliases have never been easier to get access to and change to quickly.

We know you have rules questions during the game, so to expedite the answering a we have included a browser with chat. The browser feature, a simplified implementation of a standard web browser, integrates into the chat module and allows users to get access to online resources quickly.
