Quick question:
1- Does the site save images used for the mech uploaded in the General tab for Create BattleMech Design? It does not appear to do so....
Quick Observation as an FYI
In the pdf output for the "Record Sheet" file format, the printout of the Mech record sheet does NOT indicate the amount of ammo for the weapons despite the fact that ammo bins are purchased... at least for HAGs. THe ammo boxes are accounted for in the mech hit diagram/tables, it is just not listed nor the ammo count anywhere else (like as a noted item in the Weapon & Equipment Inventory box in the upper left of the sheet).

Yes and no. During design when you upload an image it saves it as a BLOB in the database to a "working" table. Once you save the unit it saves that image to a directory on the server. When you view the unit it then sends that image to the page as a string. So they are there, just not exposed in a way where people could view and download entire directories. You can still view an image in a design and download it though.

Correct. I have this there for Combat Vehicles, just not other units yet. Old school record sheets never listed ammo anywhere but in the diagram. Listing them in the equipment list is relatively new. It's on the list of things to do, see enhancement request www.mordel.net/ers.php?a=v&r=1413. _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator
