How To The Lower World Guide: BBcodes

[Collapsible Myth]

Just like with any other forum that is out there, BBcodes are the defacto way in customizing your posts and threads. Adding a small amount of flair to your post can help make things look nicer, help explain an idea better or just be pretty to look at.

The first set of codes that I'll go over is a new set of codes we've put in here, triggers.

!help
!help triggername
!moon
!8ball
!shuffle This, That, The Other
!shuffle 3 ABC, DEF, GHI, JKL, MNO

You start with typing ! then the trigger you wish to use. Let's use the 8 ball one for example. When you type out the trigger, a bot will add a new reply post just below your post with the result. Like the picture below displays.




The triggers below can be used for roleplaying purposes.

• !roll rolls dice using an easy syntax specific to this add-on, useful for D&D, Pathfinder, and d20 variants
• !rolz rolls dice using Rolz.org syntax, useful for d20 variants as well as Savage Worlds, d6, and more
• !fu rolls dice for the Freeform/Universal RPG (FU) system
• !fudge for rolling Fudge/Fate dice with icons

!roll d6
!roll 1d20 #Attack
!roll 1d20+2 #Attack; 3d6 #Damage
!roll 1d20 *4 #Spot
!rolz repeat 4 1d20 #Spot

!fudge
!fudge +1
!fudge 5
!fudge 5+1

Tabs:

A useful tool in displaying information within a single post is through the use of tabs. These will allow you to separate a list of items from your story/description/plot without having to add another post for them.

[tabs]
[tab=Title 1]Content 1[/tab]
[tab=Title 2]Content 2[/tab]
[/tabs]

Using the code from above inside the example below will give you an output like so.

[tabs]
[tab=This is Test Tab Title One]Contents within this tab can be seen clearly and offers a nice and organized way in getting things across to your readers.[/tab]
[tab=This is Test Tab Title Two]Anything your desires and can write out a list like so.

A Pan
Small Kitten
Kitchen Sink[/tab]
[/tabs]

Important Highlights:

Sometimes you would like to highlight some important bits of information or inform your readers and other players within your game about something that might be in error. The Important Highlights BBcode helps you get the point across with bright and separated images.

As seen above you can add these bbcodes anywhere within your posts to draw the readers eyes to it without it being to flashy or jarring.
