Title: Desperately seeking help.
Post by: DoctorX on 31 July 2012, 06:14:15

I've been taking a look 'round the fan designs and have noticed something. Several people have been including in their posts something that (to me at least) looks suspiciously like output from the Heavy Metal series of programs. As an example I direct your attention to Cowdragon's post "Cowdragon's Farmtech Impliments: With Lasers" found in the Combat Vehicle Childboard. In his first post below

here we go!

is a block of information with Code before it.

I am wondering if someone can tell me how he (and others) did that. It seems far more efficient  and easier than typing (and looks more aesthetically pleasing). Please be advised that I am so new to the forums that this is my 13 post and I am not the most intelligent person on the planet so will probably require a lot of help to get this correct.


Thanks in advance. :)

What you need to do is place the Code tags around the text block that your design program generated, either with tags:
[code]Text Block that you want in the code box[/code]

Or by highlighting the text block and hitting the Code button: (http://bg.battletech.com/forums/Themes/default/images/bbc/code.gif) just above the smileys.

Hope this helps. ;D

HEY! That's me! It is output code. That particular one was from SAW the Skunkwerks for vehicles. I also have HeavyMetal for everything. :)
