WCPedia - Notes in Progress

[Bandit LOAF]

As promised, I am playing with the WCPedia today. I am in the process of formatting out a Privateer 2 mission entry.

I believe the

but I do not know how to add them:

Mission Type
Landouts
Reward

I also need screenshots of the different BBS mission type icons, if anyone can grab those (if not I can find them later).

 

[Bandit LOAF]

On the 'mission layout' section we need a way to distinguish friendly/enemy ships.

 

[Dundradal]

Are you talking about for the mission infobox?

We can add those fields and just make them conditional (so they don't always appear like certain attributes).

I'm doing a few things then will drop in #wingnut in a bit.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

No IRC from work for me--I'll be there tonight.

 

[Dundradal]

Yeah I knew you couldn't chat at work...

But it is related to the mission infobox it seems. We can try messing with it tonight. Hopefully Fenyx or Pete (or anybody with more tech exp than the two of us)

Every time I touch those things it seems to break....

 

[Dundradal]

I won't be on IRC tonight...wedding rehearsal dinner...but tomorrow after work I'll see about doing some more P2 ship articles....

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Don't say the w-word on Crius!

 

[PopsiclePete]

I won't be on IRC tonight...wedding rehearsal dinner...but tomorrow after work I'll see about doing some more P2 ship articles....

Wedding ? YOURS ? I don't know if it's a sign of precocious dementia (gotta check with my doc) but I don't recall you ever mentioned this before ?

 

[Dundradal]

I think I might of mentioned that to you....

And no it's for one of my best friends. He's the first to fall to the power of the one ring.

I'm just one of the groomsmen.

 

[Dundradal]

I'm doing a review of all current battle articles...started on a rewrite of the Battle of Freya article this evening. I'm going to update them all with the new infobox and start adding images as well.

I'd like to make an image request for the shield generator from Freya 2. As well as shots from the entry vid for the article. If someone could help out with this it would be great.

 

[Wedge009]

Either I'm doing something wrong or the WCPedia image upload script is broken, so I'll dump the images here. Take your pick: they've all been optimised for maximum compression.

These are taken from the PlayStation video conversion released at the previous birthday party.

 

[Dundradal]

How are you trying to upload them? It seems to be working fine for me the normal way ( [[image:imagename.type]] to the file upload page. The category on upload extension does not work correctly. Were you trying to use that?

And thanks

 

[Bob McDob]

If you try to upload an image using the drop-down category box (or have anything at all in it besides a - dash) the software pretends you haven't selected anything. Or something. You have to ignore it and put in the categories manually.

 

[Wedge009]

Okay, so the category thing is broken, then.

And thanks

No worries, I'm happy to do more when/if needed.

 

[Dundradal]

Does anyone have images of the shield gen from the PC planetary mission? We need some shots for the battle article and for the shield gen's article.

 

[Dundradal]

The Lancelot flight article is still in progress but I've got the first few paragraphs done.

I've got some more time this month now so I'm going to try and do at least one overhaul a week to a current article in the Battles category.

If you have any interest in seeing how articles are created stop by #wingnut. LOAF, myself and a few others work as a team to collect all the information that goes into an article.

 

[Dundradal]

If wingnuts could be so kind again to provide some images for the current work in progress: Lancelot Flight the final mission of the war.

I need images from the final mission of WC3. Encounters with Hobbes and Thrakhath, the descent to Kilrah, the trench and the fault line.

 

[Wedge009]

The camera angles in the [strike]Death Star[/strike] Kilrah Trench Run FMV is surprisingly limited in terms of camera angles, these are the best shots I could find.

Someone else can have the honour of grabbing the in-game scenes.

 

[Dundradal]

Thanks Wedge!

 

[Dundradal]

Lancelot Flight now has new rough text uploaded. I still need to go through and add a few more details here and there, as well as get a few more images to add to a gallery but otherwise the article is 95% done.

Operation Crusade is next in the battles category to get an upgrade this week.
