Hey guys, since the old overview tools went AWOL, I've been trying to Google-FU and XML-hack without any previous knowledge to create my own ship-labels in space, and so far I've managed to create A GIANT LONG LINE OF TEXT in space. Which is quite good, seeing as I have no idea what I'm doing. So, what am I missing? How do I insert a line break in the XML code to make it ... well, line break?

My overview code can be seen here on Pastebin.

The solution is to insert a < / br > (without spaces) but you will have to encode the < / and > so that EVE can process it. Let me see what I can find.

Edit: Try inserting this at the beginning of the line you want to be moved down.

Not sure if it will work - but it's the right idea.

Take a look at one of the threads I did.

☣ Client Manipulation: Overview Settings - Color Coding and More! ☣

Peak at the XML I have made available. Also if your interested "Grauth Thorner" has written a really nice application that can do it for you. If you are wanting to do it by hand then create a template with his app or my guide and view the XML afterwards to see how it was changed and what was used to make the change.

Still kinda an alpha test but have been using & testing it on one of my accounts for a while now.

http://www.suid0.org/overview

Doesn't currently do line breaks, but I might look into that soon.

As always... backup your existing overview settings first.

In addition to that... The empty none-labels (shown below) I saw on your pastebin aren't going to do anything. These are the ones that I'm talking about:


< label >
< part name="pre" value=""/ >
< part name="state" value="1"/ >
< part name="type" value="none"/ >
< part name="post" value=""/ >
< /label >

These would only do something if the pre or the post had some value inside them and are only shown when a player is part of a player-corporation. You do however need at least 1 none-label at the end of all labels, with or without a value in the pre or post (like you currently have on your pastebin)

Deleting these wouldn't matter a lot, as they don't do anything anyway.. It may however make the xml slightly easier to read for you =) It seems your problem has already been fixed, but it could be useful for anyone reading this in the future or even for yourself if you want to change the code again manually.
