Thanks for the interest, and sorry for the lack of updates! I've been having health issues IRL that have slowed development down a lot, but I plan on using NaNoWriMo as a motivation for lore writing.

It's been a while since I touched proboards coding, but I took a look, and it seems like this can be achieved in the same way that it's done on jcink, there's just different variables in play!

First step is to go to your forum wrapper and find the <body> tag. Change it to the following:
<body id="$[current_user.group.content_id]">

This will change the body id depending on the group of the user viewing it and is unique to each group.

Then you'll want to go to your CSS and set up variables. For example, if I wanted group 1 as black, group 2 as white, and group 3 as grey I would set it up as:
#group-1 {
--accent: #000;
}

#group-2 {
--accent: #fff;
}

#group-3 {
--accent:#808080;
}

Wherever in the code you want it to change to the group color you would replace the hex code with var(--accent). For example:
h1 {
color:var(--accent);
}


For more information on variables, here's the W3schools article because they can describe it better than me.

Edit: Forgot to mention that you can find the group number by going to edit the group and looking at the URL. The group ID will always be "group-#" with # being the group number found in this URL.

A pokemon mystery dungeon rp would be so much fun! However, I do agree with the other poster who mentioned maybe having slots instead of just limiting it to one pokemon per site. Even though there are like a thousand pokemon, it doesn't mean that there are more than a few that someone may want to play. If a member finds the site later, and they're locked out of all of their favorites, they might lose all their enthusiasm for joining in. It would kind of feel like being punished for not finding the site earlier. Just my opinion though!

Thank you for your opinion! At this point I'm 100% decided on opening the site with a limit on the Pokemon, but I'm still open to the idea of increasing the limit later on if it seems like it doesn't work to promote diversity in the way I hope it will. It's just easier to start out with a limit and increasing it than to decrease an already established limit.

i took a look at the list of galar pkmn and no wooloo?

did you forget the almighty ovine by accident?

Wooloo banned for ties to Satanism. /j It's there, it's just under "Dubwool Line"! It was easier for lines like Eevee, Burmy, and Ralts to separate the lines based on their final evolution, but it's definitely a little confusing since lines are usually based on the unevolved form. I might try to come up with a different name for it to make it clearer, but line is just the most straight forward name I could give it.

every time I go in to clean up my style sheets to make sure everything is easy to find and there's no duplicates I'm always amazed at how disorganized it is ; 3; every time i say i'll be more organized while writing it and every time it's a lie

you're thinking about releasing the site sometime next month or so, correct?
Hopefully! I didn't get as much work done on it in August as I hoped, so a September release might be a bit too much of a lofty goal for a one man project. Definitely by the end of the year, though. I'm back home from my trip and chugging away at the things that need to be done. Here's a preview of the NPCs that call Crystal Cove and the Explorer's Guild home*. ;)


*NPCs will not count towards any pokemon caps, and information may be subject to some revision before release.

With FontAwesome it's just a matter of using a profile field and then setting it up like:
<i class="fa-solid fa-<!-- |field_#| -->"></i>

I tried doing the same with cappucicons, but I can't seem to get it to work in the same way.

I made a list of all available & banned pokemon. They're divided into "Evolution Lines" which act as face claims. The only pokemon that are hard gender locked are ones with gender based evolutions (Gallade) or have gendered counterpart species (Nidoking & Nidoqueen). Most banned pokemon are just Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beasts, or Paradox pokemon. There are a handful banned just because I don't think they fit the setting (Rotom Forms) or logistically don't make sense (Wailord or Shedinja).

Note: There will be a shorter claims list on the site proper, this is just to show what is available and to make the evolution lines & requirements clearer.

Here's another conundrum for you all: Fish pokemon.

I feel like the options for dealing with them being on land are:

1. Ban them outright and don't deal with it at all.
2. Play with realism and restrict them to waterways, but this would limit their ability to go into dungeons at all.
3. Let them "swim" through the air by a few feet and be able to breathe and not address it IC.
4. Have some kind of floating... water bubble device.

figured i'd ask about two things:

baby pokemon and paradox pokemon - how do they work? would a pikachu be able to start as pichu? would paradox pokemon even be around?

also i think if your max character slots are 6, 2 slots to start for free is probably fair.
Good question! I plan on going through the full list of pokemon and creating a list of which pokemon aren't allowed to be used.

Legendaries, Ultra Beasts and Paradox pokemon will be banned from the start, but UBs and Paradox pokemon might be allowed later as part of some event, but not for some time.

All pokemon will start as their unevolved form, which does include baby forms. I'll probably make baby forms optional, but players won't have to have their character act like a child just because it's a "baby form" pokemon, if they choose to go that route.

There will also be other restrictions like Pokemon with human influences being restricted to humans turned pokemon (Revaroom, Porygon) or banned outright (Galarian Fossil pokemon, Heat/Wash/Frost/Fan/Mow Rotom).

As a note in relation to the baby form pokemon: I will allow for there to be looser interpretations of pokemon! Baby forms don't have to be literal babies or, as another example, a Spoink won't literally die if it stops bouncing.

Thinking about aspects of the site and I was wondering what everyone's ideal starting character limit is? I was thinking somewhere between 2-4 to start, with the potential to increase the limit as the site grows/things progress. (eg. if a new playable group is released, the character limit will be increased to accommodate)

I'm leaning towards a cozier, lower character count but I wanted to know your guys' opinions on it!
