Use this thread as an example and/or template for your posts when you role-play in this board. You are always free to use your own formatting, of course, but new players might find it useful to start here. Check the comments for formatting examples and the code required to use them, and please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!Misc Formatting Tips
Due to the character limit, comments posted in this forum category (and only this forum category) will not be held to the "no double posting" rule. You can use this to split up scenes if necessary, and it might make it easier to visually jump around locations in the story. Please do not abuse this, and only break a comment across multiple posts where necessary. If your comment is too long to post, consider whether or not you should be hogging that much of the story to yourself before breaking it apart. Abusers of this rule may have their posts deleted by the mods, so please follow them. Also, please try not to put any negative or rude comments, as RP threads are made for everyone to have fun and you do not have to participate if you want.If you want to section-off a part of your story, you can place a horizontal rule across the page by typing a series of at least five hyphens in a row.
-----Sometimes you need extra spacing between two sprites or perhaps between a sprite and some text and no matter how much you try to add spaces through the editor they always get collapses back to one space. In these instances, it's helpful to use the tab space. With it you can easily separate objects and text with as much spacing as you need.
[tab]If you want to align your text to the left or right side of the page, you can use the align code below. This makes it easier for your audience to read and helps to give a sense of a character's physical relationship to others in the same scene.
[align-left]left aligned text[/align-left]
[align-center]center aligned text[/align-center]
[align-right]right aligned text[/align-right]
When writing dialog, it's helpful to include a mugshot of the character that's talking. You can combine the player/robot/mecha tag with any of the type tags for a neat inline effect. Using the above alignment code, you can easily achieve a really nice looking narrative.
[align-left][[robot]{ice-man} : There's something dangerous up ahead, sir!]{freeze}[/align-left]
: There's something dangerous up ahead, sir!
In addition to dialog, you can easily set up "scenes" using the background and foreground formatting tags together with player, robot, mecha, ability, and even item sprites. All you need to do is put your sprites in a foreground tag, then put that inside a background tag. Spacers can be used to add more distance between characters, and sprite frames and directions can easily be tweaked with some code.
UPDATE 2015/06/06 : In preparation for the new update, alts have been added for many characters. Among them are the "Darkness" alts, shown below. Please enjoy using them in the community until the update comes out! :)

so... You can do mechas. Dont forget. also there should be some for gen 2/3 mechas. I dont remember how to do them... i know gen 1. Dont forget robot alts, too. Like me! And... Legacy. Like us!
Ugh... Getting treated like this is the worst!
i know... Dont worry, we have each other.
About mecha's, gen 2/3 is [mecha:right:blah] {blah-2/3} (No space and no blah's)
(Alt account.) But yeah. This stuff is very useful for fellow RP'ers. also, you can do abilities and items in a scene. I dont know how to do starforce (Here or on my normal account. which my normal account is the post right before this.)
@Dark Man : Sorry, there are only 2 for each robot master, not counting Roll, Rhythm, and Disco who has who knows how many and Mega Man, Bass, and Proto Man, who alts are actually based on types and are put as [robot:right] {RobotName_CoreType} without spaces and replacing RobotName with mega-man, proto-man, and bass and CoreType with any core type in all lowercase letters.

@Adrian Marceau : WOAH! THAT LOOKS AMAZING! Are there other robot masters with those looks? ...Yep, there are. How do we do that? ...The problem with edits are you can't really see them on time.

@Adrian Marceau : Lurking in the shadows of Prototype....The Robot Masters have joined the battle! This time though, they have a certain look about them....
Ominous entrance aside, I'm really digging these new versions of the Classic Robot Masters we all know and love! These dark alts really make the friendliest of Robot Masters look like guys not to mess with. After all, once you hear Dark Cut Man utter the words "May the sharpest blade win!", you might as well run!
Sorry, I was trying to get the formatting correct and test to make sure they actually worked first. Thank you, though - I'm glad they turned out! Some might need tweaking, but overall I think they're pretty cool. :)
All these "dark" alts are saved in the 9th slot of unlockable RMs and can now be used with the following code in the community:
[robot:left:throw]{cut-man_alt9}
So far, only the MM1 robot masters have dark alts created, but eventually I will create sprite for all unlockable RMs. These are NOT the same as Greyscale or Gameboy sprites (which may or may not come later) but are distinctly "dark" versions of the master that tie into the other dark elements in the update's story. When more RMs have dark alts available I'll post here to let you guys know (or get MBM to).
@Tobyjoey :
Thanks Toby - I'm glad you like 'em. And hopefully the damage to the community's RP section isn't too bad. :P
