Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 When I was looking through Omalgar's page -- http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Kuan_Priest_Omalgar-- I noticed that the link for Kuan was to the in game book about him. Should the Gods each have their own page that can be linked to? Link to comment
Silver_fox 397 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) That what I thought too. First I typed just [[sacred 2:Kuan|Kuan]] and that gave me a red link. Then I searched the wiki for Kuan and it gave me only a book and various items named after this God. He has no personal page. So I considered the book the most informative source about him and linked it there. Maybe that was the reason the Gods don't have personal pages. Those books tell a big and completely canonic stories about them. Since all I know about Kuan was from a book about him, I considered it a reasonable replacement for his page. When people click the wiki links they want to know more about the subject, right? So I linked them to that information. And be careful with <br>. I've already nothiced they are necessary sometimes, when they are replaced with more usual line spaces the template goes bad. It is more noticeable between the pictures and while inserting pictures inside the text. There is nothing wrong with using html tags while writing Internet pages. After all that is exactly what html was created for. First of all the pages should look nice for readers, not for developers (that is nice too, yet not necessary).

I'll be careful to only do it with the text parts from now on, where that will not make a difference. Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Eye_Into_the_Sky There are two NPCs that need pages made in this chain. Assistant Welkar and High Priest Gemodan for the shadow part of this chain. Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 There is one red linked NPC in this chain: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:In_the_Hands_of_Kobolds Lamela's Husband Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Kobold Camp has two red links that appear to be from the Dryad chain quest. http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Kobold_Camp The quests appear to be different between light and shadow path dryads. My level 15 dryad is on the light path. I could develop one on the shadow path and email her to you if that would help. Just let me know. Edited January 7, 2011 by Ysne58 Link to comment
Silver_fox 397 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I'm finally done with her: Officer of the Inquisition Guard and the bear:The Mutated Black Bear. I corrected the bear's links in its quest to make them point to the right bear. Hope, they are all correct now. Just noticed I didn't specify the category for the bear. Which one would be correct in your opinion? Looks like the spy would take more time. I never thought that enemy template REQUIRES a pic of an enemy fighting and won't work without it. I have no intention of creating another layout that would look alike, yet won't demand the pic. So I'd have to spent some time actually getting that pic.

Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think it should go under quest enemies in the beastiary. That section is a tad bit confusing to me though, because quest enemies has a similar set of categories under it as the regular bestiary. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,073 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think it should go under quest enemies in the beastiary. That section is a tad bit confusing to me though, because quest enemies has a similar set of categories under it as the regular bestiary. Right This was the only way we could think of setting up specific unique enemies that are quest enemies.You're correct, the Black bear should go into the quest enemies page listing if it's actually a specific quest enemy per se into the section that Knuckles built. There can be duplicates of different types of animals...but if something is in quest bestiary, it just means that it plays a part in a quest, and so becomes unique. Perhaps take a look at the naming scheme to see how knuckles discerned tween enemies that are very much alike, but who's only discernation is that they play a part in a quest. gogo Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm back in Sloeford now. I have a Seraphim to check light path quests and a High Elf to check shadow path quests. Should I go ahead and check their chain quests as I go along, or do we want to wait and check chain quests until later? I'm gonna be leaving in about an hour for a knitting class so I do not expect to get much more done today. Link to comment

I think I am going to get the Sacred Gold version and apply the CM patch to that after I make sure I am up to version 2.65.2. I am at 2.65.1. I will probably do that tomorrow as I am going to need to uninstall and clean install the gold version. Link to comment

Ysne58 236 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Brigand Camp has one red linked NPC. Commander Erestor. http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:The_Brigand_Camp I left as much of the text that was already there as I could alone. The wiki appears to have changed a lot since this quest was originally added and there have been some in game changes as well. The person who did the original work put a lot of effort into it.

Ysne58 236 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Playing with Bears http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Playing_with_Bears No red links. I could not find a link for the Baby Bear however, and I really think there should be one, especially since it can be developed into a companion and ally. Link to comment

Since she doesn't actually make an appearance in the quest, I did not create a link for her. I am making a note in case she appears in another quest down the road. Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 More on "Playing with Bears" http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Playing_with_Bears I played through the quest again and the baby bear does have a name. "Mother Bear's favorite." There is now a red link on that quest page. Since I have never actually tried keeping the bear, I'm going to experiment with that on another play through. Link to comment

Ysne58 236 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Duel!_-_Shadow_Campaign Inquisitor Tahlreth is red. Already mentioned in post on Sloeford. I'm going to try out the new template and see how well I can do with this. Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I input the text for Inquisitor Tahlreth. There are no red links on the Sloeford page now. It still needs all the images, but at info is there. My next question is, is it a good idea to be adding text to these red linked pages before there are images available for them? Would people rather see red links on pages? Or would they prefer links to partially done pages? This is what the page looks like right now: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Inquisitor_Tahlreth Edited January 10, 2011 by Ysne58 Link to comment
