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)

-Hey Tlosk,
+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?
-Would it be possible to have some sort of <b>Quest Item</b> category for items that are just related to quests?  If so, would it allow us a way to compile quest-specific items on pages auto-magically?  (Quest Items related to this page, or some such)
+thank you sir

-Also, why do experience tables always show the Percentage & Level Cap column, when a number of quests only have a set amount of experience reward?  If the Percentage & Level Cap fields are blank (or set to 0) can we just not show that column?  (I've just been setting those fields to zero so it doesn't show <i>??% up to level ??</i>, or am I using it wrong? See [[Lou_Ka%27s_Stolen_Items#Experience_Rewards]] for example.

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.
-What I mean about the Quest Item category having an iteration may not be possible on a Wiki.  I'm used to working with arrays in JavaScript, and it would be nice if we could just iterate all items marked 'quest item' that are linked to a particular quest.  So the dream is to have something like {Quest Items} and have it generate an Item table automagically.  That way, as you add Quest Items linked to a quest, the quest page gets updated as you add items to the Quest Item category (instead of updating the quest page manually).
+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.
-Similar thing with Kill Tasks.  You can click on a <b>Category:Killtask</b> link to get a list of everything in that category, but it would be nice to be able to automatically create the table currently found on the [[Kill Tasks]] page just by using the data from the category (instead of a manual list that gets out of date).  Can you pull in data from each item in a Category list like level req, XP rewards, etc.?  In JavaScript we'd build a table using something like "Killtask.Name, Killtask.XP, Killtask.SuggLevel" and then just loop through everything in the Killtask Category and spit each item's data into a row in a table.  (this is assuming that items in a Category are just entries in a dB table)
+Hopefully you don't hate my tweaks haha.
-Probably not possible in a Wiki without some heavy coding, but could be fun trying to get it to work.  -- Ryan
