Lv6 Hacks Guide

[αℓℓı]

Alright, you can clearly see that we have a new layout! It called for some new codes, the removal of some older ones, and the implementation of some new ones! On my lookout for new, interesting, and useful codes, I have found many that are quite interesting! Some of these are not so obvious as to their intended purpose, however, so here's a quick guide!

If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions for new codes, post them in the "Questions, Concerns, and Suggestions" board.

Alright, so another nifty little feature has been put int your posts that you may or may not even use.

Basically, it's the anchor link. Now, those not familiar with basic HTML may not even know what I'm talking about. Basically, an anchor link is a link, and when you click it, it takes you to another location on the same page without reloading the page. In Kairuu, this works similarly, but not on a page; it takes you to another location in the same post.

Now, here's how it works. To create an anchor link, you use the following code:

[url=#anchorname]Link Text Here[/url]

Note that the # is extremely important. It will not work if you do not use the # sign! Now, "anchorname" is whatever you want to name the anchor. For example, if we were to use it in the rules, we might name an anchor "chara1" or "chara3", for the different numbered sections of the rules.

Now, to create an anchor point (where your anchor link will lead to), you type in the following. With this example, we're saying our anchor's name is "anchorname", like in the link code above.

[ank=#anchorname]Text.

Notice that you do not need to end the ank tag--"[/ank]" is not recognized, because it is not needed. Unlike a URL, it does not have an end point; it is merely a marker, like a bullet, for where something should lead. And again, note that the # is crucial.

If you want to see the code in action, click "alright" at the very top of this post.

[ank=#example]See? Pretty cool, huh?

[αℓℓı]

This is really simple. If you want to link to someone's user profile, instead of going and finding their profile and copying the url, you simply use this code:

[usern=usernamehere]Link text here[/usern]

Note: You actually have to know their username, not just their display name. Some people set their display names to be fancy, which makes it obvious that that's not their username; but some might have the username "Turtle" and a display name "Alli", or something. So be careful with this.

Anyway, this will create a direct link to the user's profile.

Note 2: We now have a code that makes it impossible for guests to view member profiles--not your characters', but actual members' profiles.

[usern=admin]Your Owner[/usern] is an example.

[αℓℓı]

So, this feature is pretty damn cool. You can obviously see how it works, because it's being used in this post.

So, what the hell did we do here?

Well, I found this little nifty code that lets you insert background images into your posts. Yeah. You can also repeat them (either vertically, horizontally, or both ways--the code didn't have a "repeat all", but I added it in), and you can center it either vertically or horizontally--if you do both, it will be in the exact middle of your post, as long as it's not being repeated.

This code doesn't like to be shown in code tags, sorry! So to see how to do this, please go here: clicky.

Note that they must be capital, and that you must have the : at the end.

Now, here are the keys for centering and repeating:
ry: Repeat Y-axis (vertically/up and down)
rx: Repeat X-axis (horizontally/right and left)
ra: Repeat all (repeats it both ways, to fill the post entirely)
cy: Center Y-axis (center it going down)
cx: Center X-axis (center it going across)

You can use cy and cx to center it in the middle of your post, but you cannot you ry and rx to repeat it completely; instead, you must use ra (I had to add it in for that reason). You can also repeat an image one way, and center it either one way or both ways.

Now, where do these snippets go? You put them immediately after the ":", and you separate them by "," if you use more than one. So if you wanted to repeat an image going down, and center an image across, you'd use the code:

Notice that you only use the repeating and centering snippets in the first part of the code, and not the ending tag.

This post uses RA to repeat the image both ways. If you repeat an image both ways (repeat-all, you have no need to center it.

This also works a lot like how an image works on a website; it will not stretch the page but, instead, it will simply cut off any extra bits of the image that can't fit into the space. So if you user an image that is too wide, some of it will get cut off.

You are free to use these for things like profiles, journals, PCs, and such. Official posts, such as announcements, rules, and the like, will have their own official image backgrounds.

You can now make more comprehensive lists using a new code for "dynamic lists". Sort of.

Note: Unlike the normal list code, these extra three will not indent the bullets/information, nor will they make the text appear indented slightly more than the bullet itself.

You can use the following codes to create new list types:

-Normal List Code
[ul][li]bullet 1[/li][/ul]

-Capital List Code
[ul][li]bullet A[/li][/ul]

-Lower Letter Code
[ul][li]bullet a[/li][/ul]

-Numbered List Code
[ul][li]bullet 1[/li][/ul]

Examples:

• Bullet A
  
• Bullet B

• Bullet a
  
• bullet b

• Bullet 1
  
• Bullet 2

Now, for the note: unlike normal lists, which wrap text, these do not. Here's an active example:

• Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example.

• Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example. Example.

*The three new/extra lists (capital, lowercase, and numbers) all function the same way (the way shown above).

[αℓℓı]

Now, here are a few various ones--more might be added, so if you see under Site Updates "new hack added", and there's not a new post on this board, it means a new one was added to this post. The notice should say so, however, so check back if you notice something new and strange in your posting options!

Spoiler Alert
Basically, this common feature allows you to enter certain tags, and anything between those tags will be hidden unless the person clicks the 'Spoiler' button. Now, this is most commonly used when talking about movies, video games, and the like, so you don't ruin something for somebody, but you can also use it for other things--such as organizing PC information or storage Pok?mon, hiding load-heavy images in commission boards (such as samples), or even for OOC notes in roleplays to the other roleplayer(s), if you want. If you can think of a use for it, then by all means, use it for that.

The code is:

[spoiler]Text to be hidden here.[/spoiler]

There is a button in your "add tags" section that will insert this code (or put it around any highlighted text), and the button is:


It also makes it possible to re-hide the spoiler; the "Spoiler" button, when clicked, displays the hidden text and becomes a "Hide" button. Hidden text displayed after clicking will have a border around it. Here's an example:

SPOILER: Click to show

Here's your example. :]
