What is Tome?
Tome is a new RP support addon which allows players to add and display additional information about their characters, such as names, titles, appearance and other fields. Tome is heavily centred around optimisation and accessibility, from visually in the interface, right through to the code.
Features
As of right now, Tome is able to do all of the following:
- Display a prefix, name override, and suffix for your character.
- Display a title for your character.
- Display age, height and weight separately, no more need to create a factfile in your appearance fields.
- Display a Currently Field, infomation about your character which is immediately noticeable.
- Toggle an IC/OOC status flag at the click of a button.
- Display a player's level of experience and familiarity with RP between four different flags.
- Tutor Mode - a quick and easy way of showing you're there to help.
- Provide an unlimited* text field for appearance.
- Provide an unlimited* text field for history.
- Provide full compatibility with Merisioux where possible.
- Display a non-intrusive interface
- Have a marginal resource usage
- Provide version checking to keep you up-to-date
- Character blacklisting to hide tooltips you don't want to see.
- Local notes to make sure you never forget anything you shouldn't do about somebody's character.
* Unlimited in this case meaning no character limit. Tome is still limited by Trion's provided addon storage. Cell companies do it. So can we.
Planned Features
Tome is still in the early stages of beta in terms of what we want to push it to, however, the basic functionality is already working, so I decided that we might as well release it to the people who know what they want to see later; you guys, the RPers we built Tome for.
Features that we already have planned to come include:
- Guild support - allowing Guild leaders to display information about their guild through guild member's Tome clients, visible to all.
- Multiple profile support - Want to have a seperate description for each of your character's wardrobe slots? Here you go.
That's all we have planned, but we're always open to suggestions from our users. Like I said, you guys know what you want to see, and we're more than happy to add it if we can.
