Signatures

[Suthek]

 

I like to work in Cargo, and I'm german. As a result, I love bureaucracy. I love making pointless forms that people have to fill when they need things.

 

Generally, a paper has 2 modes. Edit mode and read mode. Edit mode is the one where all the

 is visible and such, and read mode is everything else (I count being able to write into [field]s still as being in read mode). Now, ideally, I'd never want someone who fills my forms have to enter this edit mode, since it's kinda ugly and breaks the illusion. Now, the thing is, forms need signatures, and to sign something, you have to edit it to add the [sign] command, which is 	laborious and not everyone is so much into paperwork and knows how it works.

 

As such, I'd suggest a change to the [sign] command, as follows: Instead of [sign] putting in your signature, it creates a clickable text that says *Sign here* or something. Now, if someone clicks that while holding a pen, it is replaced with that person's signature. This bascially makes so that the [sign] command has to be inserted by the creator of the form instead of the person who has to sign, and the latter then just has to click it to sign.

Why not just use [field]s? You can enter [sign] into a [field], as far as I know.

[Keroman]

Tigercat is 100% correct.

I guess that works, but it still requires everyone to know the [sign] command and how it works. I've met people who didn't, and while it's fixed with a quick LOOC, I just felt it might be made easier for people who don't handle SS13 paperwork regularly.

 

Basically, I'd classify my suggestion as qol.

[sign] command is a simple thing, every assistant should know. So there is no need to make things even more simple.

I find of wish paperwork was a little easier. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a format section that lists everything we could and and/or a preview panel? I don't know how good NanoUI is but it would be killer if it could work with that

It will be nice to add photes to paperwork like backgound papers.

 

And i think he trying to make the point some players are too lazy to type [sigh] and have ready to click executable command for [sigh] for the lazy players so they can just click it and it will be sigh for them and in talking of coding that at most will add a line or two of code and thats about it maybe. ;3

 

and on the plus side of having a executable click stuff for paper work can speed up some of the paper work that most or all player hates to deal with and for players that likes/love to force it will love the executable clicks due to it speed up the work of paper work and let them get more done.
