Questions Edit

Hi Tlosk, I think you fixed this for me once before, but my contribution history seems to have been merged with someone else's (ASHERON-Joe). Maybe it happened during one of the server moves? His edits are from 2007-2008. My edits start in 2009. Sorry for the trouble! --Jaguar 00:59, 14 May 2013 (EST)

Hi

Would you do me a kindness please Tlosk and create an account for me on the acpedia wiki? will contributions be sorted over there do you know? I would actually like my user on here to be changed to Nevroth ...is that possible? if so, can you use that name over on acpedia and Arkalor if it's not possible for a change at this point.

also, what is happening with the loot pages, I noticed my old crappy tier pages have been relinked to in the sidebar?

thank you sir ---Ash 11:09, 13 October 2013 (EST)

Changes to the Quest Summary template Edit

Hi Tlosk,

I thought we could have a slimmed down and tidier summary table and keep reward info in the body of the page neatly in one section and do away with the repeated info in the table (I wanted to subcategorise by level req. also so players could just quickly find what quests they can access).

I read through the old notes back when the template was made and saw that the Lore & Dialog section was meant for lore and story info in addition to quest dialog, but I counted no more than 5 guides that had story info that people had taken the time to add (one was a half hearted attempt by me) - so I renamed it to just "Dialog". Some users have entered story elements in the overview section. I removed the gold text, as I really think it looks messy now and doesn't make the text that much easier to read to be honest - plus it would be so much easier to just copy and paste text and then use colons for indents/line breaks.

I used the name quest summary temp for the changes so as not to mess with new guides and then when I reached the most recent quests, I was going to move the template over to the correct name and then do a text replace on the guides.

Hopefully you don't hate my tweaks haha.

oh, Merry Christmas! ---Ash 14:11, 25 December 2013 (EST)

-'''Very''' nice work on those two map templates. When I get back from class tonight I will update the POI template and the few POIs I had redone recently. I can see the map point plus being very useful on many quests like the blighted moarsman temples, ley line nodes, and so on. I think we should begin adding it under the maps section for those types of quests. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 16:29, 20 January 2009 (CST)

-I had another idea for map templates. The Map Point Plus reminds me of ACexplorer, and I thought it would be very cool to have our own wiki version of ACexplorer available. However, a single map would either be too small to be useful or too large to fit on most monitors. Then there is the issue with many objects being listed, likely 500+. And finding and editing a single item in that list would be a pain. So I thought of another idea.
+Hopefully you don't hate my tweaks haha.
-<br><br>We take a large map of dereth, at least double the standard MakeMeAMap file size, which is 2041 x 2041. Then we divide it up into maybe a 10x10 or 20x20 grid. Only a single square would be displayed at any time - each square in the grid would have a unique wiki page. For naming of the map image files and the pages themselves, we could use a number/letter grid system (1A, 14F, etc) or use the map coordinates, using the NW corner coords as the name.
-<br><br>Each square would then be very similar to the Map Point Plus template. There would be multiple icons to choose from, etc. If possible, clicking on the point would redirect to its page. If not links to all points on the map can be listed below.
-<br><br>For navigation, there would be options to move one grid N, S, E, or W, as well as return to an index. The index would be rather simple to create. We just take a smaller size image of each square, which redirects to the square's page, and we place these thumbnails into a table in the correct order to construct the full map.
-<br><br>I don't know anything about wiki template construction, but I imagine the template would look something like this:
-<pre>
- {{Dereth Grid
- |         Current = 10N, 30W
- |           North = 20N, 30W
- |           South = 0N, 30W
- |            East = 10N, 20W
- |            West = 10N, 40W
- | <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
- | <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
- | <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
- }}
-</pre>
-Would something like this be possible with what you know about wiki templates? --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 21:03, 20 January 2009 (CST)
