breifings...

[KyleSarnik]

Allright, how do you center things in breifings, like a picture for example?... Yea yea I suck at HTMLs but who cares....

[B-2-0]

 

[p align="center"][img src="whateverulike.jpg" width="x" height="y"][/p]

Change the [ to < and ] to >

whateverulike.jpg = your picture
x and y = size of ur picture

[KyleSarnik]

Didn't work... It's still on the left... and how would you do text?

[macguba]

B-2-0 is right.   This is copied and pasted from a working Overview.html

<p align="center"><img src="overviewpicture.jpg" width="160" height="64"></p>

For text I presume its

<p align="center">this text is centred</p>

[KyleSarnik]

Yes I tried that but it doesn't work in breifing. I know it works in overveiw but I need to center my pictures and headings on one of the pages on my breifing... I know BIS did it in the 1985 campaign... But im away from my computer at the moment and can't take a look yet...

[dmakatra]

I suggest you DePBO a few missions and see how they did.

This is directly copied from one of my own missions. Works like a charm.

Code: [Select]

<h2><a name="November"></a>November 1 and 2</h2>
<h4>
<br>
November ones primary job is to transport Bravo Squad to Davle. November twos primary job is to transport Charlie and Delta Squads to Davle.<br>Each November Squad consists of:<br>
1x CH-47D(Chinook)<br>2x Pilots<br><br><p align="center"><img src="November.jpg" width="198" height="96">

armstrong yours works because of the size, my picture is a square (128x128), I could change the size of my picture though, but I still want to align some text and other pictures that can't be resized... I wonder tho, does it make a different wether or not its PBOed?

[dmakatra]

Hmmm... Try this:

<p align="center">Your text!<br>Now it's probably back to normal again?

[KyleSarnik]

ok when I double-click on the breifing HTML, it opens up and I can see that the picture is aligned... But not in the game...

[dmakatra]

attatch the briefing här.

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

EDIT: Ah maen. You shouldn't be at one swedish forum and one internationall forum at the same time...

What I meant was:

Attatch the briefing here.

You could also try:

<p align=center>Your text!</p>

i.e.  No quotes around center

I allready tried it with out qoutes and like I said when I opened it as an HTML it was centered. Anyways I just finished resizing it, but Ill attach another one that uses a 64x64 square picture, and it just looks bad not centered, btw I didn't add <p align="center"> to it yet.

[Planck]

Hmmmm,,,,,,ok

Running your html, but changed the line:

<img src="Major1.jpg" width="64" height="64">

to:

<p align=center><img src="Major1.jpg" width="64" height="64"></p>


picture is now centered, but is it ingame???


Planck

[KyleSarnik]

btw I didn't add <p align="center"> to it yet.

I know how but I didn't put it there yet because I was too busy trying to fix the other one. And it doesn't work ingame.... Can anyone attach an HTML file with a picture thats centered and works ingame? Maybe it's just my OFP...

[KyleSarnik]

Strange... it all works as an HTML, but not ingame....  

[Sui]

The way OFP reads HTML isn't the same way your browser/HTML editor reads it...

Sometimes redundant HTML code (like program identifiers) can stuff things up and confuse OFP.

I can't recall who it was, but someone threw me over a briefing a while ago with similar problems. The formatting commands wouldn't work.
It turned out they were using M$ frontpage, which was adding in a lot of M$ crap, which was making OFP ignore the formatting commands.

I suggest you learn some basic HTML, and edit the source rather than using an editor. It's not nearly as hard as it sounds

[KyleSarnik]

erm sorry if I made it seem that way but I didn't use an HTML editor, just notepad... I copy/pasted breifings I did from previous missions (alot easier than re-writing them all) and it worked in the overviews but not in the breifings... I did attach the HTML and the picture.... if anyone wants to take a look...

[Homefry31464]

Does OFP recognize normal tags like "<center>"??

[Sui]

oh... sorry Kyle, I guess assumption is still the mother of all..  :-X

Just taking a look at your briefing, I think it has to do with all the spaces you've got in there. The html code for an empty line is:

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Try replacing all those empty lines with that and see if OFP starts to recognize the formatting...

Homefry...

The code I use to center stuff looks like:

<h2 align="center"><a name="Debriefing:End1">Mission Accomplished</a></h2>

The only HTML I know is 'OFP HTML', so I'm not sure if that's 100% correct or not

[KyleSarnik]

Sui:

do you mean the spaced between notes, plan, objectives, etc? Well I'll try it later, right now I'm kind of busy... Anyways I will let you know if it works or not...

[KyleSarnik]

Oh wait do you mean that in place of <br>?? I will try it...

[KyleSarnik]

Nope, does nothing... Does it have anything to do with running version 1.94??

[Planck]

Kyle

Try this version of your briefing.

The picture is centered in-game, at least it is on my machine.

btw.......I am running 1.94 as well.

[KyleSarnik]

Thank you very very much now I can just copy/past it from that into all of my breifings because it doesn't work on my comp unless someone does it on theirs first.... Really really odd...
