Thinking about spicing up your arc, but don't know how to go about doing it?
Check out what I've done utilizing the BBC Color Codes beyond our scope of availability! Pics here!

Now check out the wide variety of colors at your disposal in the pictures below!

BBC Codes for each color are ready for you to come and grab and paste into your missions!

You will see some colors are very hard to read if used in text, so choose wisely fellow architect!

I just like the name, "PeachPuff!"

Great tool Supa, thanks for this

Craft your inventions in AE!!

Write my arc for me!

In all serious, thanks for doing this. I was originally going to make use a multiple colors for my last arc, but the arc turned out to be such work that I never got around to checking what those colors would actually look like against the backdrop of the AE building, and here you've gone and even included pictures... neat!

Thought I was done being helpful here?
Yea, right!

Release Captive can be used to add environment to your missions!

Just check the picture out that follows!

Don't make them required objectives in this scenario if it prevents the mission from being completed!

Tired of the same standard encounter after standard encounter?
Me too!

I recommend at least a chance for unique encounter once every 3 fights!

It breaks up the monotony!

How dare you use tricks to disguise the objective!

 

Posted

Your Clues all out of whack?
Why's that?

You can determine which order they're displayed!

Of course I'll show you a picture demonstration!

Why don't I get paid for all this?

Trying to make heads or tails of map details?
I'll let you in on a little secret...

They're not coins Waldo... they're maps!

Let's focus on the Any and Front Details!

This formula works the same for Middle and Back, so don't ask for another post about this!

I think these hint 'n' tricks should be on paragonwiki as well somewhere. Good use of graphics.

Fantastic thread! I use these "tricks" a lot.

Hopefully I can learn a thing or two. Keep up the good work!

Thanx Ankylosaur. I do feel it's an underused capability authors have to customize the presentation of their creations. I need to update the other images below it sometime and possibly add more.

I used colors extensively in my latest arc. (Rularularian in my sig)

I have several different characters helping to unveil the story (sort of a group of contacts) and color coding their dialog was a great way to help distinguish who was speaking and to help the player keep them all straight. This guide helped me identify my options, though it took a lot of experimentation to figure out which colors worked well in the contact dialog.

Because of that, I actually ended up changing some of the character's costumes so that there was a way to visually associate the character to the text color.

Couldn't have done it without your guide, so thanks for putting it together!
