Overview

Lib_PAD (part of Library) is a logbook, mission-log, diary and interface. AddOns can implement data to get important organisations, events, systems or persons exposed to the player in an unified way. It also ships search functionality, a way to customize players data (species, gender, etc) and players can also add own notes.


Categories

The categories in Lib_PAD are the first component of all dotted pathes. Pages in a category do share a template which defines the layout of the page. All pages, except LOGS, do have 6 slots for textures (t0 - t5).

GALCOP
Category for GalCop, Police, Navy and other official organisations related to GalCop.
Contains entries: name, entry, rank, enlisted, missions, awards, info.
GUILDS
Category for other organisations which do have a membership.
Contains entries: name, entry, rank, enlisted, missions, awards, info.
INFOS
Category for special events, news, specific stations, etc.
Contains entries: name, location, beacon, purpose, special, notes.
LOGS
Category for standard events like rescued escape pods, bailed out, fined, etc.
Contains entries: list.
PERSONS
Category for characters you have met or you got infos about.
Contains entries: name, origin, species, gender, age, rank, ship, info, notes.
