pain in the ass... I suppose I can make these up but it'd be a hell of a lot easier with the right tools...
The general idea:
- Build a template for "ships". within it, get the number of each type of slot and pass in the info. That main template will then call the appropriate sub-template to display the values.
Templates to cover the number of slots, by type (high, mid, low) a ship can have. Basic designs -- using transparent background (vs inherited -- can't tell if someone changes it).
Max:
- 8 High (hs1 - hs8 as parameter names, default "None") -- several ships with this.
- 8 Mid (ms1 - ms8 as parameter names, default "None") -- a few with this many
- 8 Low (ls1 - ls8 as parameter names, default "None") -- a few with this many
- 3 Rig (rs1 - rs3 as parameter names, default "None") -- the usual amount is 3 but some have less...
I'm not building templates for tech 3's. If some yahoo wants that stuff, they can plan it in EFT and I don't think the uni should be putting together "approved" T3 ship fittings for students to be flying (nor unapproved nor for the navy). If they can fly those, and are allowed to, they had better know what the hell they're doing.
Template layout thoughts
This will consist of a series of templates that will be loaded based upon information entered into the header portion of the parent template that calls the individual portions to assemble the end result.
Templates Used:
-
- General container template. It holds all the others. I figure we can build a few. ILN Ship Info, Approved Ship Info, etc... So people can find the ships approved/recommended for use.
-
- Picture and the exact text description appear in 2 frames -- left side = picture, right side = text.
-
- General stats on the ship: (note: *NOT* a full retyping of EFT/EVEMon info -- quick overview stuff for pertinent details)
- Ship Class (frigate, destroyer, mining barge, etc...) -- important for categorization
- Ship Race (faction, gallente, etc...) -- important for categorization -- allow for multiple.
- Ship Type (Catalyst, Dominix, etc...)
- Ship Tec Level (1 or 2 or 3 but 3 I'm not building for at this time -- defaults to 1) -- important for categorization
- Requirements to Fly
- Special Approval required? (yes/no -- or who... I'll get to this question later)
- Skills Required to Pilot (gallente frigates 3 or what not -- basics)
- Skills required to use this fitting (all skills needed to run the fittings shown...)
- EFT Copy & Paste area
- CPU
- Powergrid
- Low Slots
- Mid Slots
- High Slots
- Launchers
- Turrets
- Drone Capacity
- Drone Bandwidth
- Hit Points
