Template:LogBox

A template for the fancy boxes from the sidebar status/log messages when examining things or looking at past dialogue!

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
name	name 1	The name of relevant entity (character or object) for which this log entire was created. Will automatically add !!__...__!! around it and uppercase it as per the game, unless it's from "sys" or "sourceless". Example moth	String	required
text	text content 2	Text content of the box	Content	required
image	image	Image to use for the box, unless it's from "sourceless" or an entity with known image.	File	suggested
type	type	Type of the actor	String	suggested

Example:

Moth ("friend"), defaults image to /img/sprites/moth/mothman.gif (cropped):

!!__moth__!!

hey buddy

Examine system ("examine"), default type:

!!__cyst__!!

::CORRUCYSTIC ENTITY
::NO FUNCTION SIGNATURE
::CONNECTIVE MEMBRANE EXPOSED

System/mindspike messages ("system", game also uses "sys"), uses /img/mui/mindspikelogoactive.gif (cropped) icon over BG of /img/textures/static.gif:

..__RECONNECTING__..

Own thoughts, narration ("sourceless"):

the decoding machines flip on, casting their light over a spidery mess of wires.

Interloper speech ("interloper", game also uses "self")

so how are repairs going?

Obesk speech (requires ...|type="obesk"..., unless it's a known name)

!!__funfriend__!!

HELLO!

Missing parameter handling:

!!__template error__!!

::TEMPLATE ERROR:'entity name missing'
::TEMPLATE ERROR:'no text'

Complex stuff, example copied almost verbatim from the game source. Mind that MediaWiki does not like CSS variables in anything that is sanitized. Also for some reason unnamed param does not work, end up needing the named one. BRs are used to escape the newline away:

!!__akizetesche__!!

::RESPONSIVE THOUGHTFORM
::EXPLICIT PURPOSE::'recollection locus
::RECONSTRUCTED SIGNATURE CONTEXT
+'vaznian surrealist influence'
+'mark of oltazni'
+'vel receptors, curled'
+'cousinly eyes'
+'self-designed signature'
