Default NEW! gwBBCode Tutorial
A big thanks to the gwBBCode team who has written this code for all the Guild Wars websites out there. If you wish to be able to use this syntax on your forum or website, gwBBCode is free and open source so come get it at GWShack.us

gwBBCode Tutorial


How to show a single skill

To display a skill you need to encase its name in square brackets "[" and "]".
For example the skill Shock would be represented by
[pre][Shock][/pre] => [Shock]
If you want to show the skill name instead of its icon, put a second "[" before the name
[pre][[Shock][/pre] => [[Shock]
If you want to show a skill effect adjusted to an attribute value, include "@" after skill name and then a number
[pre][[email protected]][/pre] => [[email protected]] here we have the skill with 8 in Air Magic
Tip: case and punctuation don't matter in skill names, and you can use some abbreviations
[pre]["You're All Alone!"][/pre] = [pre][youre all alone][/pre] = [pre][You're all ALONE!!!][/pre] => ["You're All Alone!"]
[pre][Word of Healing][/pre] = [pre][WoH][/pre] = [pre][woh][/pre] => [woh]



How to write a build

The simpler way is to get its template code from the game, then use it in one of these ways:
[pre][Shock Warr;OQYTgw4K5QrSFqM9cOtrCA][/pre] = [pre][build=Shock Warr;OQYTgw4K5QrSFqM9cOtrCA][/pre] ~= [pre][build=OQYTgw4K5QrSFqM9cOtrCA][/pre] =>
[Shock Warr;OQYTgw4K5QrSFqM9cOtrCA]

But if you want to write a build from scratch, here is how! A build consists of an opening tag [pre][build][/pre] in which you can specify details (see below), then a list of skills encased in brackets, and an ending tag [pre][/build][/pre]. In this example we specified a name and attribute level. Don't panic it will be explained in details below
[pre][build prof=W/E air=8][Shock][Frenzy][Eviscerate][/build][/pre] =>
[build prof=W/E air=8][Shock][Frenzy][Eviscerate][/build]

Now let's have a closer look.. at what you can specify in the [pre][build][/pre] tag..
  • Professions: To specify the build is for a Warrior/Elementalist, just add prof=W/E. You can use any profession abbreviation: W, Mo, E, R, N, Me, Rt, A, D, P. As well as full profession names, e.g prof=Warrior/Elementalist. You don't have to specify a secondary profession.
    [pre][build prof=W/E][/build][/pre] = [pre][build prof=Warrior/Elementalist][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E][/build]
  • Build's name: To specify a name, try this: name="Shock war" (note: the name must be encased in double brackets "")
    [pre][build prof=W/E name="Shock war"][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E name="Shock war"][/build]
  • Attributes: Just write the attribute name without spaces, followed by "=", and the attribute level. Like this: expertise=9. You can use plus signs to specify additional levels due to a rune or helmet: axemastery=12+1+3.
    Tip: Case doesn't matter here and all but 3 attribute names can be reduced to their first three letters, e.g axe=12 and pro=4. Specifying a few more letters doesn't hurt though: prot=9 and blood=8. The three exceptions to this rule are: dead for Deadly Arts since dea is for Death Magic; comma for Command since com is for Communing; earthp for Earth Prayers since ear is for Earth Magic.
    [pre][build prof=W/E AxeMastery=12+1+3][/build][/pre] = [pre][build prof=W/E axe=12+1+3][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E axe=12+1+3][/build]
  • Description: Adding information on a build (weapons, armor, how to play it) can be done like this: desc="Vamp axe." (note: the description must be encased in double brackets "")
    [pre][build prof=W/E desc="Vamp axe."][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E desc="Vamp axe. Spike with Shock."][/build]
    Tip: you can write descriptions in multiple lines using {br} to separate lines. This tip works on build names as well.
  • Pickup: Now imagine you have a post with a full teambuild and you'd like to know which of these builds your forum users would prefer to play. Rather than go through the process of asking them, use the pickup feature and ask them to click on the builds (their profession icons) they want! And click again to remove themselves from a build.
    To make a build clickable add something like pickup="some unique text here". A unique text is needed because if you use the same id with two builds and a user clicks on one, he'll be added to both!
    [pre][build prof=W/E pickup="shock war"][/build][/pre]
    [pre][build prof=Mo/E pickup="prot monk v3"][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E pickup="shock war"][/build]
    [build prof=Mo/E pickup="prot monk v3"][/build]
    Tip: for readability, you can reuse the pickup feature inside the same post but outside a build, and see who can play what without having to move your mouse over each build:
    [pre]Can play shock war: [pickup="shock war"]; can play prot monk: [pickup="prot monk v3"][/pre] =>
    Can play shock war: [pickup="shock war"]; can play prot monk: [pickup="prot monk v3"]
  • Box: You can create a nice box border to encase the build skills like in the game by adding "box" to the code:
    [pre][build prof=W/E box][Shock][Eviscerate][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E box][Shock][Eviscerate][/build]
  • No skill: You may want to specify an empty skill slot. For that, use [pre][No Skill][/pre] => [No Skill]
  • No save: If you don't want a build to show the copy build icon just add "nosave" to the code.
    [pre][build prof=W/E nosave][/build][/pre] =>
    [build prof=W/E nosave][/build]
Here is a full example:
[pre][build prof=W/E name="Shock Axe" box axe=12+1+2 str=11+1 air=6 desc="Weapon #1: Vampiric Axe{br}Weapon #2: Penetrating Axe"][Frenzy][Rush][Disrupting Chop][Bull's Strike][Shock][Eviscerate][Executioner's Strike][Resurrection Signet][/build][/pre] =>
[build prof=W/E name="Shock Axe" box axe=12+1+2 str=11+1 air=6 desc="Weapon #1: Vampiric Axe{br}Weapon #2: Penetrating Axe"][Frenzy][Rush][Disrupting Chop][Bull's Strike][Shock][Eviscerate][Executioner's Strike][Resurrection Signet][/build]


Miscellaneous
  • Locally prevent gwBBCode parsing: Encase what you don't want to be parsed with tags [pre][pre][/pre] and [pre][/pre][/pre], e.g [pre][pre][EW][/pre][/pre] => [pre][EW][/pre]
    You'll find it useful when you want to mention a guild tag which happens to be a skill abbreviation, or when you want to explain gwBBCode syntax ^^
  • The pickup feature: As seen above in a build, pickup can be used to let users show they can play it. Syntax is self explanetory: List of fools: [pre][pickup="some unique text here"][/pre] => List of fools: [pickup="some unique text here"]
  • Export builds to GWFreaks: copy the code (click the Quote button to get it) to this page then click "convert" and import the downloaded file in GWFreaks
  • Random build: guess what.. [pre][random build][pre] =>[random build]
  • gwBBCode version: that one is more difficult to guess: [pre][gwbbcode version][pre] => [gwbbcode version]
  • Installing gwBBCode: If you want it on your forums it's free and open source so come get it at http://gwshack.us ^^

Ow brain hurts.... looks nifty though. Does this mean the skill icons have been updated too?

Nifty. Apparently there's no cap on how high the atts can go.

[build name="Tribble" prof=Ritualist/Necromancer desc="Western Bacon Cheeseburger" SpawningPower=10 Channeling=-1 AirMagic=90 ][frenzy][splinter weapon][ursan [email protected]][spiteful spirit][/build]

I wonder if the old ones still work [skill]Word of Healing[/skill] and the new [word of healing] as well [word of [email protected]]

[disarm] [shell shock]

The old ones still works.
