Harry Berkley Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hello Everyone, I just wanted to ask if Uniform/Shadow Box Auto generation will be an intended feature or not. I've managed to do this with great success on my unit's website here. I just wanted to check that this wasn't a planned feature to make sure I'm not wasting the effort. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Cantu Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 That's pretty cool. I had created the same concept using phpImageWorkshop to automatically generate our old uniform images -> This was automatically generated! However we opted to not use the script, as one of our duties available to soldiers is image creation. We were taking away a whole job function in our unit, which took away opportunities to earn awards and to show dedication and participation. I don't know how feasible it would be for perscom to integrate something like this, as each unit would have different requirements for how their shadowbox or uniform image would look. Compare your current one to our current one. I do honestly like your shadowbox though, and it's simple enough that a generic perscom shadowbox could be made, with options for generic background and insignia based on service. But then again, each unit has different ranks and awards, not necessary standard US Military. Anyway, I'm not answering for @Jon Erickson here, just participating in the discussion ?

Harry Berkley Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Oh it's good to see some conversation. I would absolutely have loved to make this for the Uniform one, but ours is marines and if I am honest, I didn't have the patience to make a 3D model, render it and then make the various things for it. I'm a php programmer, not a graphics designer. I specifically programmed it so that it would take any rank added via the Rank system and any award added to the award system Edited November 22, 2018 by Harry Berkley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Cantu Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yea, I was envisioning that too, but then you might have some units that use full awards instead of ribbons: Or like in our case, we have ribbons but also have combat badges. Of course, you can account for all this, but it could get complicated pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Berkley Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 oh I accounted for that, but it would be on a unit-by-unit basis. If there was a way to categorize the awards into badges and ribbons it would work quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jon Erickson Posted November 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2018 While this seems like a neat addition to the suite, our intentions at this time are to create, maintain and upgrade modules that help broaden the use of our application and increases its customizability. We have several features in the works that have our priority at this time! Definitely not off the table though! Thanks for the suggestion!

Harry Berkley Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 @Jon Erickson any plans on categorizing awards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jon Erickson Posted November 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2018 This absolutely can be done and would be simple upgrade. I’ll add it to the list! Thanks!
