I'm a very lazy person, so instead of typing out BBCode by hand, or copy-pasting a template (where I'm very prone to misspelling things), I asked my lovely husband to write me a desktop app for creating BBCode for my hatchery! This program was coded through Visual Basic, and went through a lot of rigorous testing to make sure it doesn't break upon use. :P

This program simply converts inputted data into BBCode text, and does not modify the site, download assets, or otherwise interact with the site in any way.

[b]FOR MAC USERS[/b]: You will have to use Wine, a program that allows you to run .exe files on your Mac.

brace yourself, this is a long readme

Please read The full README here. I'll provide a quick TL;DR below, but it's quite a bit.


PREREQUISITSE

Windows 10/11 (Haven't tested it on older versions, so idk if it'll work).

INSTALLING

Just slap this bad boy on your desktop and you're good to go. Right now, the program will export text files containing your code onto the desktop (See our Future Roadmap below to see what changes we have in store in future builds!). Because this program creates files on your desktop, please whitelist it with your antivirus. You may have to re-whitelist this with every update (Until we include checking for updates. See our Future Roadmap!)

Windows Defender MAY ask if you want to run this program. You may also have to run this as an administrator.

Note: Your antivirus may flag this as a virus. It's not. I promise. The old builds of this work just fine, but for SOME reason when we rebuilt it, one day it was fine and the next our antivirus said "nope". We're working towards trying to figure this out (in a way that doesn't cost us hundreds of dollars), but until then, you will have to whitelist where you save the program at. We recommend making a folder and whitelisting that folder from your scans.

(Once we clean up the spaghetti that is this code, we will have it available for full transparency! But right now it's a huge chaotic mess)

USING THIS PROGRAM

This program only needs your input; it will fill in the blanks in the code, and export a text document so you can simply copy and paste said BBCode into the forums.

As previously stated, this application does not retrieve any information or assets from the Flight Rising servers.

Once you're done, hit the Export button at the bottom. It will export a text document into the folder the program is located in with the dragon's name. Simply open the document, copy the code, and paste it into the forums! Easy peasy.

FOR MAC USERS: You will have to use Wine, a program that allows you to run .exe files on your Mac. Unfortunately, at this time this is the only way to run this program, but otherwise it will run just like on PC (Thanks to @missnanners!)

A: Make sure you have whitelisted this program with your antivirus, as well as running it in Administrative Mode. Q: Where did it save the BBCode? A: On your desktop.

A: Because I'm terrible with Sheets. I also prefer the ease of a form like this rather than a google doc. I've tried XD It's also very pretty and will look prettier later. Q: Will you make this a website/mobile app/for mac/linux/etc? A: Most likely not. We don't know any other programming languages, and...yeah. Nah. XD Q: Have you added X yet? A: We will push an update relatively shortly after a new breed/gene update (Please give us some time after a new breed to add everything). Q: Can we see your code? A: Let us get it cleaned up first. This has grown very organically since our first build back in like. 2018. The code is UGLY. You don't wanna see it. It'll rot your eyes out.

Congratulations on the public release!

I enjoyed testing the program. It's a breeze to use, and it is sure to take a lot of the effort out of running a hatchery that may make it seem like an unapproachable chore. You've done a wonderful thing for the community~

@Sassapphire Aww, thanks!

We might be able to export it into a MAC format for you and other mac users; we'll have to look into it I know nothing about macs and exporting things into that format so a bit of research is necessary lol
