Wiki Update

August 30, 2007 11:13:04 AM

Those unaware, there have been some template changes on the wiki. The main one is the Player Character Template, which is now much more versatile and customizable thanks to some addons the Kadster did for me.

You have the option of filling in any of these. The only one that would be required is the name. Any you do not set equal to something will not be shown on the final parsed function. If there is something you want added, let me know and I’ll throw it in there.

Any assistance can be asked through IRC or alternatively you can request me to spruce up, covert, create your wiki page, or just suggest some wiki thing you want to see here

The code at present time for the character template is:

Code: Select all: {{Player Character |image= |name= |callsign= |spec= |rank= |position= |flight= |fireteam= |squadron= |squad= |wing= |platoon= |company= |battalion |regiment= |fleet= |division= |homeworld= |age= |species= |gender= |skin= |scale= |chassis= |height= |weight= |hair= |facial= |bra= |eyes= |scar= |tattoo= |cyber= |affiliation= |nick= |family= |fightingstyle= |profession= }}

If you want to assist me in some Wiki stuff, just pop into #Wiki on irc sometime.

Thats some good stuff. I have some ribbon requests (very selfish, whee!) : Ribbons with Knight's Cross expansions (Oak Cluster, Silver Swords, Diamond eyes), some of the VEHC ribbons (notably MoH

), possibly something for VEA awards (like =A=, =SA=, etc). And, now that you can see them, DJO medals :O

That should keep ya busy, as if you weren't already fantastically busy :P

RE: Wiki Update

I've added a "PicRank" template to take advantage of the rank insignias created by Casca/Raigen and Tomas for the Navy. It is exactly the same as the Rank template except that it also features the field "xinsig" where x is the number of the rank entry.

For example:

1insig=[[Image:CRWSFC.JPG]]
1rank=Crewman
...

And etc.

I haave a suggestion, i dunno if it can already be done, or if it's possible that it could be done.

But, I was wondering if it was possiblr to show thhe ribbons that we were awarded since there are some, if not all ribbons and medals in one of Doc's Wiki pages.

Lucky, hit me up the next time your on IRC. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I'm sure it can be done.

EDIT: Lucky, I've made an addition to your Awards table, is this what you meant?

Big kudos to all of you for doing this work. More importantly, thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with everyone. Very nice of you.

Now, I've got to update my wiki entry to at least look like I'm trying.

My pleasure Fury, I actually really doing that kind of thing (wiki stuff - between making it look better, and updating the VEs known history).

With Doc on leave, if you need anything for the Army Fury let me know and I'll see what I can do (more template, setup, history wise...not really that good with visuals).

Also, if you want I can adapt my Naval Insignias to be used for the army officer ranks...they'd obviously have to look different (my initial idea is to flip the blue and the red and perhaps replace gold/yellow with silver/white). May also have to add some based on the greater numbers of officer ranks in Army than Navy (18 to 15 assuming 2nd Lt. is the first army officer rank) as well as some other changes based on "levels of officers".

Let me know. And if you have a different idea for how to differ them from the Navy ones shoot me a suggestion. It's up to you, afterall.

This is sweet, I do have a couple questions though. Is the VE still using the Pilot Proficiencies thing, and how does it work though?
