Newspaper Suggestion

[Kamilisha Haijulikani]

Small suggestion: currently, newspapers have a feature where you can switch the format (the Background button that's visible in the screenshot).



My suggestion is to create a 2nd/3rd format option that uses a single, large image in the width/height of the background container.


(mockup example)

This will, in effect, allow users to create newspapers (externally) and paste them in the enlarged image box that do not conform to the base format, allowing more creativity, as well as even other images, like posters, to be made in-game and held as in-game items.

You can take this a step further and create a more convoluted system— where you have categories of "media," such as a default newspaper one, a poster-specific one, and a card one that utilize different aspect ratios to create media of all different sizes. Of course, you'd probably need to make it so they use different models as well.

I made newspapers on Willard for like, 4 years or something stupid like that. I was often told to use the in-game cracked printer, which was absolutely a no go because I relied on being able to set my own template per issue and was way more comfortable with using google docs than anything else. Even if I could have used the cracked printer the template was.. Just the C24 one and completely unsuitable to being ran as a rebel paper. And also it was very nice to be able to share my paper on the forums as well and also with other people to proofread it.

so pretty please with a cherry on top just give us a single image that takes up the whole template option

I like this a lot, but would also like to add an additional request that Admins be given easy access to delete content off of the Union Database so that developers do not have to be called in to remove future newspapers from said database.
