Romsey Signal Box Simulation Plugin Details

Description

This plugin adds support for my simulation of the preserved Romsey Signal Box by:
  • adding a shortcode, romseySignalBox, to add the simulation. Examples of use: [romseySignalBox]Text that will appear at the bottom middle of the simulation. Typically this would display instructions or hints.[/romseySignalBox]

Possible Future Enhancements

  • Add the missing repeater instruments
  • Align the repeater instruments with their corresponding lever
  • Allow the commutator control to be turned as well/instead of the buttons
  • Addition of the lights for the automatic half barriers at Halterworth
  • Addition of (a much simpler) simulation of the Halterworth crossing box before its automation
  • Addition of a tutorial mode
  • Correctly handle shunt movements
  • Get Eastleigh to honour the direction lever
  • Possibly add a 1909 variant (either just the timetable (most likely) or its map as well)
  • Add (fake) position lights for the sidings and add some train movements for those too

Update URL of the details page

3.101.0 - 13 March 2021

  • Fix estimated time to leave section when something happpens between parts of the traversal of the section.

3.100.0 - 01 March 2021

  • Add a timetable for 19 Feb 2021 when there were major engineering works in southampton so the GWR services were diverted via Eastleigh and the SWR service terminated at Romsey (and used line to Eastleigh to change platforms), all while the freight services are also diverted via Eastleigh and an Engineering Train from Southampton needs to return to base.

3.99.0 - 01 March 2021

  • Refactor code of how change of destination works fixing some minor bugs in the process

3.76.0 - 28 January 2021

  • Add support for self-hosted update notification

3.64.0 - 29 May 2020

  • Adjustment to the overlaps for the platforms. Adjusted the train's movement on the up line to extend the track circuit for C to include the track between the platform and the points controlled by lever 8

3.63.0 - 28 May 2020

  • Only one pull on levers 3 and 13 is permitted after the line is cleared by the relevant remote box

3.62.0 - 24 May 2020

  • Track circuits now overlap (based on the actual overlaps recorded on the 1973 track plan). There still some tweaking to do here, particularly for the artificial track circuits for the platforms
  • Improved train timings. Again based on the 1973 track plan. The current trains use modern train speeds (i.e. 80 mph for the passenger trains)
  • Commutator locked up to the signal box

Many changes including:

  • Additionally lock levers based on the track circuits occupied
  • Reduce the time gap between Train Entering Section and the next track circuit being occupied
  • Revised how the timetable and active trains are shown
  • Have the remote boxes complain if things are out of sequence (including a missing Train out of section, or a commutator is not reset)
  • Trains now verify points are as expected by the train (and the driver will complain if mis-set
  • Train driver will call if they are held at a signal for over a minute
  • Adding multiple trains will add the trains with different train codes (up to ten, then numbers will cycle)
  • Train drivers will check the next track circuit is unoccupied before entering the next section (note: this should only occur if signals are not replaced by the signaller after trains pass them)
  • Remote boxes will wait five seconds before offering a new train once a train leaves the section
  • Remote boxes will ignore offers while the line is occupied
  • The code that recognises bell pushes has been overhauled. Long pauses are now only recognised if it is where a long pauses could be and if it is at least quarter of a second longer than the average for the other pauses

3.50.0 - 11 April 2020

Minor adjustments to train timings. Minor refactoring of how the remote boxes handle bell pushes when they expecting a train entering section bell code.

Plugin Information Plugin Details

First published 22nd March 2021 (Last Modified 12th January 2023)

Description

This plugin adds the ability to show the description and change log of one of my plugins in a similar way to that provided by the wordpress admin pages. In support of this, the plugin provides three shortcodes:

pluginInformation

This shortcode provides the description and other information about the plugin. Additional information may be added into the right handbox of the generated table by placing the text inside of the shortcode. The additional text will be placed inside a list item (<li> tag)

Example of use
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares"]<strong>License:</strong> GPL v2[pluginInformation]

If the attachment attribute is provided on the shortcode, links will be updated to point to the attachment page instead of the direct download page. For example
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares" attachment="true"]

If the nolink attribute is provided on the shortcode, the link itself will be suppressed (the text of the link itself will remain) For example
slug="LatinSquares" nolink="true"]

If the homepage attribute is provided on the shortcode, a link to the plugin's homepage will be added to the information panel. For example
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares" homepage="true"]

pluginInformationChangeLog

This shortcode provides the change log for the plugin

Example of use
[pluginInformationChangeLog slug="LatinSquares"]

You can ask for only the first few sections of the change log (as introduced by h4 tags in the change log) by specifying 'latest' on the shortcode, for example:
[pluginInformationChangeLog slug="LatinSquares" latest="1"]

Normally the links in the change log will be removed. These can be kept via the attachment attribute. If set the links will be kept and if attach is 'convert' the links will be converted from links to the download to links to the relevant attachment page for that download file.

pluginInformationVersion

Provides the version number of this plugin (not the version of the plugin being queried)

Ningxia theme

First published 7th August 2016 (Last Modified 12th January 2023)

Description

I had used the ming theme for quite a while, originally on its own and then with a child theme to fix some minor issues I had with the theme. However I wanted to get the copyright notice correct in the sense that it should show the year of publication of the earliest page or post being displayed and the latest modification date of the page or posts being displayed. I therefore created a new theme based on the ming theme, which I've tentatively called Ningxia. I haven't registered it with wordpress's theme library, so there is a risk of a name clash in the future.

Description

This plugin adds support for my En Garde! game by:
  • adding a shortcode, enGardeCharacter, to allow a character table to be generated. Examples of use: [enGardeCharacter id="C"] [str is="9" initial="9"] [rapier is="12" initial="12"] [sabre is="12" initial="12"] [cutlass is="12" initial="12"] [con is="15" initial="15"] [end is="135 of 135" initial="135"] [ma is="1" initial="1"] [cash is="32" initial="44"] [allowance is="12" initial="0"] [regiment is="Royal Foot Guards, Private"] [club is="Hunter's"] [mentions is="1"] [stable has="1 horse"] [appointment is="Trooper, King's Escort"] [mistress is="Catherine de Borgonne"] [level is="11" initial="12"] [location is="In Paris"] [/enGardeCharacter]
  • adding a shortcode to display a form to allow the submission of orders for a character. Examples of use: [enGardeOrderTemplate id="C"]

Character Sheet Plugin details

First published 17th January 2015 (Last Modified 12th January 2023)

Description

This plugin adds a new post type for linrodeth characters (called 'Characters' in the user interface). In support of this, the plugin provides:

  • The new post type (note, revisions of the character sheet are preserved, so old versions can be viewed (though not in that friendly a format))
  • Two options (accessed either from the 'Settings' link on the plugin itself, or from the 'Settings' admin menu). The two options allow the preamble text shown when a character sheet is viewed and the preamble text shown when a character is editted. You can also change the default genre and the default date (game date) used by the character sheets.
  • A widget that will list the recently added character sheets - this is managed from the 'Widgets submenu of the 'Appearance' admin menu. You can change the title shown by the widget and how many recent characters it will display.
  • It adds a new shortcode that allows links to characters to be added to posts and pages. It can also be used to generate tables of characters. Examples of use:
    [linchar /]
    Show a link to the first character sheet found in the database
    [linchar type="table" /]
    Show a table listing all the character sheets found in the database
    [linchar name="Dermot Foulkes" /]
    Show a link to a specific character sheet. Note that the name is that used on the character sheet NOT the title of the character sheet
    [linchar player="David" type="table" /]
    Show a table listing all the character sheets with the given player name (NOT the author of the character sheet)
    [linchar genre="Linrodeth" type="table" /]
    Show a table listing all the characters for the specified genre
    [linchar author="djvines" type="table" /]
    Show a table listing all the characters authored by a specified author
    [linchar type="table" orderby="name" /]
    Show a table of all characters ordered by the character name
    [linchar genre="Linrodeth" type="table" orderby="date" /]
    Show a table of all characters for a specific genre ordered by the last modification time of the character sheet
    [linchar name="Dermot Foulkes" type="link" text="Dermot" /]

    All the tables include a button and tick boxes that allows the generation of a single PDF that includes the attribute and skill table pages of the selected characters

    Show a link to a specific character sheet with the text of the link specified.
    [linchar name="Dermot Foulkes" type="link"]Embedded Dermot[/linchar]
    Show a link to a specific character sheet with the text of the link specified by enclosing the text with the shortcode

  • In addition there's a shortcode to add a sandpit for character creation experimentation. This allows for a new character to edited but not saved. The characters can be loaded/saved from the browser via the import and export buttons, but cannot be saved onto the website directly.
    [lincharSandpit /]
  • It also adds a shortcode to display the night sky. Examples of use:
    [linsky time="now" showbuttons="true"]
    Show the night sky as it is "now" and include the buttons to allow the time to be changed
    [linsky time="gamedate"]
    Show the night sky as it is at 11pm on the game date chosen on the settings page

Change Log

3.244.0 - 23 February 2023

Use the browser's small viewport units

3.243.0 - 13 February 2023

Adjust margins for headers in the skill sidebar when editing characters

3.238.0 - 22 January 2023

Improve (slightly) the appearance when viewing the character. Check if the edit button are there before trying to set their 'onclick' functions.

3.226.0 - 12 January 2023

Fix minor error in the php for the character sandpit

3.215.0 - 30 August 2022

  • Tekumel Bows are Short Bows not Long Bows
  • Add a smidgen of extra guttering to the skill table
  • On the character listing table add option to select characters and create a single pdf with all their skill tables

3.214.0 - 24 July 2022

Increase the size of the margin used on the left and top of each page in the PDF. This should (I hope) address the clipping issues

3.200.0 - 22 May 2022

  • Adjust width of genre button
  • Improve Handling of Tekumel Languages and Religions
  • Add a 'Copy Previous Skills' button
  • Support (completely optional) gender field
  • Link the post title with the name of the character (typing in one updates the other as well)

Note: This version does not address the reported issue of clipping when printing. I'm not sure how to proceed on that one since it should be the job of the PDF viewer to correctly scale the document for the printer.

3.198.0 - 11 May 2022

Get the buttons on the view character to inherit style rather than getting the theme's default

3.182.0 - 10 March 2022

  • Moved some skills between categories

3.165.0 - 11 September 2021

  • Add a shortcode for a sandpit character sheet

  • When changing genres ensure the character has a minimum age by changing the birthday if necessary

3.164.0 - 10 September 2021

Rename files using accented characters - sadly 7zip (and hence my build process) ends up mangling these 🙁

3.163.0 - 10 September 2021

  • Add more Tekumel skills
  • Restore added skills and fix the skill addition (which got renamed to 'Other Skills' 🙂
  • Split languages and religions in their own skill section

Fix update detection logic

3.159.0 - 09 September 2021

Fix updating logic!

3.153.0 - 21 July 2021

  • Common up the plugin logic with my other plugins

3.102.0 - 21 March 2021

  • Fix saving of edited characters on WordPress 5.7
  • Allow use of the block editor

    Note that despite allowing use of the Gutenberg block editor, the editor of the character sheet actually replaces the entire post text with the character sheet, so any other blocks will be discarded!

3.76.0 - 28 January 2021

  • Add support for self-hosted update notification

3.75.0 - 27 January 2021

  • Goodgulf's telescope now uses the correct game date and for the "11pm game date" button.

3.73.0 - 07 January 2021

  • Add option to unlock birthday and attributes

3.38.0 - 19 July 2019

  • Support Torchwood as a genre.

3.35.0 - 22 December 2018

  • Change the now version of Goodgulf's telescope to use the browser's time rather than the server's time. This allows the page not to change when using static site generation.

3.26.0 - 01 January 2018

  • Support a game date per genre rather than a single game date for a site
  • Indicate that the plugin will not support the Project Gutenberg style of post editing - at least not at this time

3.11.0 - 05 December 2017

  • Change to version numbering structure (the major version number indicates the numbering scheme in operation)
  • Correct the placement of @charset declarations in the stylesheet

2.0.0.20170728-0830 - 28 July 2017

  • Allow unlisted Intrigue skills

2.0.0.20160808-1454 - 08 August 2016

  • The plugin modifies searches so that all post types are included. This is now fixed so that it only affects the search, tag and category pages and not every query (including those on widgets on those pages)
  • A zero width space is used after the '/' character in the buttons for skills to improve word wrapping on the buttons

2.0.0.20160219-1028 - 19 February 2016

  • Character export on linrodeth characters is exporting the entire character array, not just the current character
  • Update compatible wordpress version to 4.4.2

2.0.0.20160105-1700 - 05 January 2016

  • Correct inheritance used for construction of the widget to the current (PHP7 supporting) idiom
  • Change the size of the box used for viewing and editing to 67% of the height of the viewport - this is much friendly for various display sizes and seems to help chrome on mobile devices to render the box correctly

2.0.0.20151103-1328 - 03 November 2015

  • Add modifier for extra opponents

2.0.0.20151017-1159 - 17 October 2015

  • Add documentation for the shortcodes (no functional changes)

2.0.0.20150906-0822 - 22 August 2015

  • Fix date display (particularly for Luna Romana).

0.9.8.1 - 08 July 2014

  • Minor bug fix to the performance tables (there was a long tail to the left of the table, now removed).

0.9.8 - 02 July 2014

  • Changing the birthdate moves all periods along (shrinking the last period).
  • Added (simple, combat-related) Equipment page.
  • Added printing.

Version - 0.9.7 - 08 June 2014

0.9.6 - 07 June 2014

  • Fix game date display when changing genres (or loading old characters with a non-Linrodeth genre).
  • Hide the JSON panel by default.
  • Allow editing of the attributes (disabled by default).
  • Allow the addition of unknown skills.

0.9.5 - 06 June 2014

  • Upload button added - note this POSTs to process.php to the host that delivered the page.

0.9.4 - 05 June 2014

  • Correctly disable ip adjust buttons.
  • Birthday locked once the stats are locked.
  • Genre locked once the stats are locked.
  • Added a stats reroll button (rather than forcing the user to page reload!). Obviously this disappears when the stats are locked.
  • Played with the layout a little - Still can't get the button to vertically fill their cell - this seems to be a CSS rendering limitation.
  • Locking the character would break adding a period.
  • Trying to change dates with a period with more than one interest caused a break.
  • Set the value of the name to that in the JSON.
  • Added Herbalism.
  • Fixed bug: When the title was updated, the next change would cause the Stats tab to reappear.

  • Added a game date to the Stats panel, which anchors the end date of the last period.
  • Added the ability to lock the stats - once locked the only way to unlock it is via the JSON.

0.9.2 - unreleased

  • Changing the genre now updates the childhood fluency fields.
  • Added contemporary fluencies and literacies - no other contemporary skills at this time.
  • Added Math.floor to the morale calculation AND fixed the logic for the wound points (previously treated as having a con in the range 0-4!)).

0.9.1 - 03 June 2014

  • textarea (except for the JSON update) no longer need (or have) submit buttons.
  • A stat of 21.0 is now impossible (20.9 is still possible, if unlikely at 1 in 10,000).
  • Used Math.floor instead of Math.round(x-0.5).
  • Added Save and Load JSON buttons (These are local to the browser).
  • Added a Genre pull down.
