Unit docs with Wikipedia images

Post by Stratego (dev) »

i made this to superfortress, i think it looks cool:
Image

it has link to wiki page, and an image from same pade and a partial texting from wiki page.

How to do?
Texting is the same as earlier:

Code: Select all

    <string name="UNIT_TXT_US_PLANE_B29">The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is heavy bomber designed flown primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. The Superfortress was designed for high-altitude strategic bombing but also excelled in low-altitude night incendiary bombing, and in dropping naval mines. B-29s also dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. </string>
Only in unit json you need to give a link to an image and a wiki page like this:

Code: Select all

         "urlImage":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/B-29_in_flight.jpg",
         "urlDoc":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress"
full json sample:

Code: Select all

I am willing to be of service. And yes I think it looks very nice. But will only "Big units" get this special doc or all of them?
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Most of my descriptions source from Tank Encyclopedia, and were reworded to avoid plagiarism. I think applying a cool image alone would be just fine. Thank you and good luck Belfry!
