Wiki

[Gaddy Games]

I just finished creating and updating all the items and monsters basic informations.

All the data comes directly fro the game source code, so theoretically everything is correct (but there might be some mixed items or things like that).
Here are the global data tables:
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Monsters
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Plants
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Weapons
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Walls
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Turrets

The wiki relies heavily on templates so those data are not duplicated, and easily updated. Same thing for the crafting recipes, which are displayed in all related items.
Please try not to break this template system by adding specific number data on individual items or monster pages.

So... how can you help me with the wiki ?

- Check some items[digordie.gamepedia.com] and add some "intelligent" infos. I set all basic data, but a lot of items could use some useful info, to know how they work, etc (like the water generator for example).
Most useful: a link to their biome for the ore and plants items ; a link to the monster that drop them for the loot items .

- Check the monsters[digordie.gamepedia.com] pages and add informations like their location, etc.

- Update pictures and add description for the biomes[digordie.gamepedia.com]. The new ones only have a name for now. Most useful: screenshot of the place, a sentence about its location.

- Improve and add more general articles[digordie.gamepedia.com] about construction, power generation, etc.

good thx

Ok, monsters data table is done (last images currently uploading) : http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Monsters

Tomorrow i'll add the missing page

[Gaddy Games]

Ok, I've completed the monsters table and basic info pages:
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Monsters
If you wish you can improve the pages by adding the locations of monsters, etc. :-)

And the biomes list:
http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Biomes
Here there is a lot to do: replace the old pictures by new ones, add descriptions of the new biomes, etc. :-)

I think i'm done with all the basics of the wiki. Now it would be great if some of you are motivated to improve it!

You can count of me, Gaddy!

I'll follow your game, where ever he goes ^^

BTW, in the wiki, boss health value (Mad Crab; 3000HP) does the HP are calculated in Easy or Hard??

[Gaddy Games]

Hard difficulty, you can see with the mouse over tooltip on the "hp" column title ; and also in the Monsters page bottom, in the "Difficulty modifier" page. Maybe not clear enough?

[BLU REMOTE]

Allright thanks ^^

Just the fact that one of my tutorial video is now wrong cause I put 3000HP instead of 1500HP for the Mad Crab. ;_;

I wish I could help out more right now, but I have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks and so I really can't do much to help.

But on the brief visit I had the other day the charts and updating stats look really slick.

I do have a question on it is if you can access those stats from a paragraph context and not a chart, ie have the X value show up in a body paragraph dynamically.

[Gaddy Games]

Unfortunately not, the template system is not that advanced.
What happens typically, for example for a weapon page, i'll write

{{turrets|Rotating Turret}}

This will call the "turrets" template with a variable "Rotating Turret" (here is the tmeplate source code: http://digordie.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Turrets&action=edit)
So this template is composed of a big switch that will replace the call by the following text:

{{turrets_line |name={{{1|}}}||builder=Auto-Builder|hp=25|range=8|damage=4|nbShots=1|cooldown=0.6|kb=1|remarks=}}

({{{1|}}} being replaced by the 1st variable of the template call, "Rotating Turret"). This is the template that contains all the data of the game, that will be updated when the item data is modified.
So this new line calls ifself another template, turrets_line, with a lot of variables (name, builder, hp, etc.) and so this line will be replaced by:

<tr><td> [[{{{name}}}]]
</td><td> [[File:Item_{{{name}}}.png|link={{{name}}}|36px]]
</td><td> [[File:Item_{{{builder}}}.png|link={{{builder}}}|36px]]
</td><td> {{{hp}}}
</td><td> {{{range}}}
</td><td> {{{damage}}}
</td><td> {{#ifeq:{{{cooldown}}}|-| |{{{cooldown}}}s}}
</td><td> {{#ifeq:{{{cooldown}}}|-| |{{#expr: {{#expr: {{{damage}}}/{{{cooldown}}} }} round 1 }}}}
</td><td> {{{kb}}}
</td><td> {{{remarks}}}
</td></tr>

With all the variable between {{{ and }}} themselves replaced by the data values. And this is the final wiki table line you can see.
Hum.. not sure if i'm very clear there ^^

So this system let you display this table line very easily from anywhere, but it's very specific and i can't call only some of the data. Or the template would have needed to be created very differently (and I think I already go quite far in this system, it's not often used that much)

I'm gonna help with the wiki on descriptions, locations, and such. My username on the wiki is Camcam1000

[Gaddy Games]

Great! Thanks!
I just replaced the biome for the Hell Hounds, they are not in the rock biome (this one is above the underground ocean) but in the Great Cave. There is not yet a page for this biome but the list of biomes is here: http://digordie.gamepedia.com/Environment

[Gaddy Games]

As a complement, I think what would be the most important and useful is to add:
- for the ore and plant items : a link to their location (biome)
- for the looted items : a link to the monster that drops them
- the biomes pages: adding a screenshot for each of them, saying where they are

[BLU REMOTE]

May I take the task of the picture for the biome?

[Gaddy Games]

That would be really great! :)

[BLU REMOTE]

I'll do it on my spare time ^^
