Addition to Word Count Trophies

[Aeryes]

Hi there everyone


I just installed this plugin ( support.proboards.com/thread/515998/count-trophies-points-library-support ) and it works great! I was wondering however if there was a way for the plugin to recognize text placed within coding?? For example;

[font color="1979e6"]Example Text[/font]

If I were to color my text, it doesn't count towards the total post count. Is there a way for me to change that?

I run a roleplay forum where word count help determine the amount of EXP you gain per thread, and members (including myself) highlight speech by giving it a unique color. At this point, it takes a good chunk of word count away.

Another feature i was thinking might be handy to add, is another code that cuts off what words are actually counted? I'll give you an RP post as an example here:

Her thoughts embedding her deeply in the combat mindset, Tetsuko took another deep breath. If she was to find her own inner guidance, she would need to look to her art, to use each kata to complete the Four Seasons. So, it was quite fortunate, that what Tetsuko thought might be the most useful form was also the first in the sequence.

The Shindou girl held out her hands and iron flowed out freely, forming a rather large blade that she held two-handed. A long katana, a greatsword of sorts. An ōdachi. Holding it in a high stance next to her head, Tetsuko would walk further into the outer ring of Stonehenge, her steps methodical and prepared, her large blade ready and waiting. This was a fairly conservative form, and highly effective in difficult terrain like the rocky hedge around them.

Spring Form | Tō Kata


Keeping her guard high and ready, Tetsuko would look about for Haruuhi. If the girl had decided also to meet her in Stonehenge itself, and wasn’t hiding or anything, the Shindou girl would address her, bowing her head respectively.

”Haruuhi-san. I’m glad to have you as my opponent. I want you to know… There isn’t anything I hold against you for what happened with the Disciplinary Committee. So, let’s have a good fight, hm?”

She wasn’t sure what compelled her to mention that. Perhaps, with the lies she’d been exposed to… Tetsuko simply wanted to lay the truth bare, and let this fight speak honestly.

Honesty, after all, was the only way she’d achieve her goals.

"Four Seasons... All as one... First is Spring. So let this fight bloom!"

- Tetsuko broods a bit, exposition about her sword style
- Tetsuko has found out bad things about her fam, and her reason to fight is uncertain, so she wants to try and find some kind of 'inner guidance' through combat with her sword style
- Tetsuko walks out, is announced with all her titles, but isn't that confident in her family pride
- Haruuhi is announced, Tetsuko realized this is tougher than some might think - Haruuhi is super tech smart and Tetsuko won't be able to predict her tricks
- With this in mind, Tetsuko uses the To Kata, drawing a big odachi as her main weapon
- If Haruuhi presents herself too, greats her with a friendly tone and prepares to fight.

Everything written in blue, I'd like to count towards the final word count, while everything in red after the hr code, i would not want to count... if this at all makes sense?

Thanks for the help and feedback!

That plugin was written by Wormopolis , who hasn't been online in ages. It's not editable, so anyone who might want to alter it won't be able to do so. And since no one can see the internal components, writing a 'companion' plugin to provide additional functionality seems a near-impossible task. (Not that I personally have the skills to do so, even if the plugin was editable.)

One thing I did notice is that words within quote tags don't count, so you could use that as a mechanism to include text in the post that doesn't count toward word totals.

Feel free to continue bumping this, as there's a remote possibility you might get additional help. But other than possibly discovering some other nuances already present in the plugin, I don't think much can be done.

Well friggen RIP. I knew wormopolis hadnt been on in a dogs age hence why I made this instead. Also figured out the quote bit which did help a lot.

Thanks for the info though! If it isnt possible then it just isnt and we will just have to figure something out. Thx!
