Response to Oji

Stooge 07 Mar 2010 06:04

@ Oji:

1. I upgraded to get rid of the toolbar at the top and because of another site I have in the works that I have no idea how much space it may or may not utilize. Mostly I wanted the damn bar to go away. Yes, 300 would be enough for this site as I would really rather not have any photos over 50 to 100KB in size.
2. Good job on the cleanup idea. Can you go ahead and get it setup? We can hash out standards. If you want to start on that, feel free as well.
3. I don't think I'll change the names of everything at this point.

Images and Collapsible blocks

Stooge 07 Mar 2010 06:10

I did some checking and putting an image in a collapsible tag does not make the page load faster. If you do a view source on the page, you'll see that with the collapsible tag in there, the IMG tag is still seen by the browser and processed. All the collapse does is a bit of javascript to hide the photo, not to keep the browser from fetching it. All the more reason for us to stop doing it. Here is the format I want us to move to

[[div style="float:right; margin:0 2em 1em 2em; width:300px; border:0;"]] 
|||| [[image  width="300px"]] || 
||||~ ^^My Caption^^ ||
[[/div]]

NAME

The image goes between image and width (sure this is obvious, but just being clear) and NAME should be replaced with whatever you want to title the caption with. It will look like this.

3-1 BP NPC

Rome921 07 Mar 2010 09:34

Umm, can't believe noone realized this, but that really annoying Black Phantom NPC chick right before the boss battle in 3-1 has an UBER weakness, i don't think its a glitch, just a uber weakness. Since she uses her crossbow if you are more than say 10 feet away from her, just walk up to her, but not too close so that she takes out her sword, AND SPAM FIREBALL. Just make sure you walk left and right-ish so that the bolts don't hit you, then when close enough use fireball. Being close is important because the short distance will make them arrive faster, she will keep trying to shoot her cross bow, but that takes 3 seconds, by the time the flinch is over she has 1 second to move or your next fireball hits her in the face, but since you are standing still at a slight range she will stand still too and try to shoot you with bolts. She never even manages to reload her Cbow because of you fireballs. About 3-7 will kill her depending on stuff…

• Go through and remove the "enemy-" and "npc-" from the character / item / world names so that it is easier for everyone to add links.

Keep in mind that we'll run into a hump when we get to npc-dregling (aka Dregling Merchant) and enemy-dregling.

Easy enough to handle

Hey guys. I'd like to help with "cleaning up" the pages, but what exactly does that imply? Do you mean deleting the repetitive information, summarizing it, etc? I would do all that, but I'm not really sure what is needed, and I don't want to delete something that should have been left alone by mistake.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Ask my anything. About Magic, that is.

Stooge 27 Mar 2010 23:50

This page will give you some help

Don't worry about deleting something you should not have. We watch the edits, and we'll either put it back or fix it. You can learn what to change that way. Just jump in and go to work. :)

A few questions and Ideas before I ruin the wiki ;-)

---

1:
I was thinking about cleaning up the Parry page a bit, but I ran into some differences in table layouts.
What's is preferred? (if any) Colors, fonts, etc?

1. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/head
2. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/ancient-king
3. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/axe

---

2:
I also noticed someone had added descriptions to some of the complete armor sets:
http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/dark-silver-armor
I liked the idea, but I would prefer to have the descriptions better linked to each piece, ex:

/edit: cleaned up post

---

3:
And last, about the Key (or stats explained for weapons, armor, etc).
What about making it collapsible? I needed it at first, but by now I more or less know what each means.

1
You're better off with the regular Wikidot table, e.g. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/axe

2
I don't like the idea because it breaks up the table. I've been pondering on what to do with the (incomplete descriptions), and can only offer up the option to hide them in a collapsible tag.

Unfortunately you're basing it off your own personal preference. Not everybody has used this wiki as much as you have (or me, for that matter), so may need the entire key for full reference often. I will reconsider my position if you can get more backers for this.

Stooge 30 Mar 2010 04:04

The descriptions can be handled with a hover. Send me a msg and I'll send you the info on how to do it. I am tired at the moment, and don't remember where it is. I did a forum post on it in the feedback area I think. It was a post dealing wtih whether or not we should convert to the north american naming conventions on the site.

I thought about collapsing the key as well, albeit in a different manner, but I am still on the fence about it.

The Young One 30 Mar 2010 06:31

Thanks for the reply. The first question was the important one, so now I know what to aim for.
I'll put the others on hold.

Parry and riposte page

MAZEL2240 21 Apr 2010 11:53

i made a bit changes to the enemies and people that you can parry, i want invaders hahahaha, my 1st char. is lvl 202, 2nd char is 120

Mephistopheles side quest.

TheMultitude 30 Apr 2010 00:24

I'm not sure if this is confirmed or not, but if it's true it should be updated on the Biorr of the TwinFangs page. Basically I went through the entire game except for the final boss. As you know, you can still enter the other worlds before going back below the nexus. I decided at this point to lower my Character Tendency to start the Mephistopheles quest. So I start my killing spree, however I ran into an issue. When it came to killing Biorr I realized that I hadn't saved him yet, therefore he was not in the nexus. So I went to save him, thinking that even though the boss was already dead I could Evacuate and find him sitting next to the Valley of Defilement Archstone. As I made my return, no Biorr, much to my dismay. I load back into 1.3 and back track to find he is no longer in his cell. I evacuate again, no Biorr. So then I go through 1.3 and 1.4 (keep in mind I'm at End Game so I'm holding a TON of souls). All bosses and minibosses were killed beforehand, and Biorr was no where to be found.

This pretty much leaves me stuck at this point in the Mephistopheles mission. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, others should be warned.

Stockpile Thomas

I'm not sure if guys notice this but he mentioned that his wife and daughter were killed by demons. At the first tower in Boletarian Palace where the 2 chains are, where you hit them for the jade hair ornament and old raggedy set. If you turn your camera down. you can see that the chains are holding the 2 corpses. I believe they are stockpile thomas' daughter and wife.

Character Builds Edit

WingedWolf 15 Jun 2010 04:05

Just an idea, for the Character Build pages, do you think there would be away to separate them into tabs/links like the weapons, and items are set up. That way people can look up certain types of builds and those related to them.
Example:

Faith Build
Mage Builds
Joke Builds
Strength Builds
PvP low & high level

I dont know just an idea
