Contributing

Any kind of contribution is very much welcome. Feel free to create an issue if you find an inaccuracy, a typo or even if you think of something that should be included. Pull requests are also welcome.

The text of the tips is located in the tips.html file.

The tip template

The tips.html file uses a very simple template system. To generate the actual html file, run the convert script:

./convert.py tips.html output.html

The system implemented by simple regex replace in convert.py. Do not expect it to do anything intelligent. Only things in parantheses are taken out and placed into the current tip template, they may be multiline, use any html tag. Do not swap usefulness and importance, do not add extra attributes, all of these changes would make the tip get silently ignored.

<scr-tip usefulness="(5)" importance="(5)">
  <tip-title>(Tip Title)</tip-title>
  <tip-desc>(Detailed Description)</tip-desc>
</scr-tip>

The contribute template

Empty sections contain contribute template which is also replaced in convert.py. If adding something to a section with this template, remove it.

<scr-contribute>

HTML + CSS

The webpage uses the Bulma CSS framework.

Images

The images/ folder contains screenshots from Guild Wars 2 relevant to the tips.

tips's Issues

Add a screenshot of the Special Action

Add WvW tips

I can't add any as I don't play WvW.

Add Combo Fields and Finishers to beginner tips

Add dodge jump

Add PvP tips

As I don't play PvP, I can't add anything to this section.

Check if Dhuum shackles still only warn one of the two players

The tip for this is currently commented out.

Get a screenshot for the new arcdps version

The area stats window was redesigned recently, a new screenshot would be nice.

Layout improvements

I find the page way too long currently and it's somewhat hard to find where you left off, it would be nice to have a easier to use layout.

Ideas:

• Use tabs for main sections.
• Add a table of contents of some kind. I tried it with listing all tips, that is way too long to have at the top.

Add the GW2 Mounts plugin

Add a tip for raid arcdps settings

Should show how to set format of area stats and title bar to show useful data in raids.
