Of Quest Headers

Hello Davipb! Do you think is it a good idea to add quest difficulty to the header of the quest pages? The reason of this being that the mod is designed for different levels of the player and trying to do a hard quest early can be daunting for the players sometimes. Great job on the headers btw, looks fantastic.--Apocrypha (talk) 10:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey there! Yeah, now that you mention it, it would be a good idea, although I'm not sure how we would do it for quests like The Biggest Egg Hunt Ever, which vary from Easy to Very Hard. I was thinking about doing a "Quest Objectives" template, but since this wiki doesn't have the Loops Extension installed, I don't think it's possible to have a variable number of arguments on a template. I'll add it as a new field on the quest header, as you suggested. Thanks! -- Davipb (talk) 16:33, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
If the quest escalates, the player will be informed in game clearly, so maybe only the first starting quest difficulty of the chain will give the player enough information when to start the quest. In The Biggest Egg Hunt Ever, I started to create the page while doing the quest, but then delayed it until I can handle (***) quests. That's the intention of escalating quests, the game asks of you to delay them deliberately.--Apocrypha (talk) 16:46, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
I've added the difficulty parameter to the template, which can set as a number from 0 to 4, intended to represent the in-game asterisks, or set to any text for special cases. You can see some examples in the template page itself, and I'm currently making a few images to better represent each difficulty. -- Davipb (talk)

about images

I've read your message, my bad, can I change the name of the files somehow?

A favor

Hallo, Davipb! Since you seem to be the most experienced wiki-editor around here, I was wondering; Would you mind improving upon the Settlements template? I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid I'm rather too inexperienced (and at the same time too busy to gain the experience) to make it. If not, I can see what I myself can do; No worries! Thanks. --Jemolk (talk) 06:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey there! No problem, I don't know if I'll have the time for it today, but as soon as I have the time I'll see what I can do! -- Davipb (talk) 09:56, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Update: I've made the template consistent with the existing templates (mainly Template:NPC) visually. I don't do much work in the places/regions section of the wiki, so I'm not sure if there are any extra fields that should be added. I always try to make the source code neatly organized and consistent, so you should be able to add or change things around just by looking at how it's organized now, but you can tell me if any problems arise. -- Davipb (talk) 21:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for changes

Hey, thanks for fixing the pictures formatting on that page. I'm still new to this so I wasn't sure how to do it the exact way but still wanted to contribute as much as I could. -- Theswordsman5 (Theswordsman5)

Thanks for fixing the template - pages!

Hey David, thanks for fixing the "template" category I recently added - I thought they were templates bc they are used with those {{}} things. I'm still figuring this out so thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience! -- BlackGuppy (talk) 12:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

No problem — WikiText can be confusing sometimes. {{Page Name}} is just the transclusion syntax, which is used to insert one page inside of another. It's mostly used with pages in the Template namespace (Template:Incomplete, Template:Quest Header, etc), since those contain reusable elements, but you can include any page inside of any other page. The Templates category is used to help editors find all available templates when editing a page. Also, remember to sign your comments with ~~~~ -- Davipb (talk) 12:18, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

How to acquire images for in-game items

Hi, idk if you're still around, but I was curious how you got the thumbnail images for the items on the armor page -- Classiest (talk)

Images on the armor page specifically were taken by Omnia101, but for the transparent item images I did do, I used NifSkope render the model with a pure magenta or pure green background, then removed that background with GIMP. I usually took screenshots at double resolution then downscaled after removing the backgrounds -- that hides some of the artifacts and makes transparent borders sharper.
