EntropiaPlanets presents: Mission tracker

The system is intentionally designed to not let you do that - after all, the timing is of some importance - if you are amongst the first 5 to mark the mission as completed, your name will always show up on the colonists list in the wiki - if you do later, there is only a small chance your avatar name will appear on th bottom of the list.

If you checked off a mission by accident, please PM an admin to fix that for you.

 

Cool - marked the ones I have done so far

 

Nice one :) I have put in the ones done so far

 

Very nice feature.

But I notice that the foul missions are missing in the list.

 

The Foul Missions were accidentially mislabelled as belonging to the "Iron challenge - Feffoid" Mission Group - fixed now :)

However, there are a few (should be 4) scouting missions missing, if you know the name and objective of these missions, please add them to the wiki missions overview

This is a general problem with edits to any wiki out there (the mission subsystem is even more strict, as it doesn't allow you to edit other peoples data), and i see no way to prevent people from doing that, other than checking screenshot and restrict entering of data to admins (but then again, what about the people who have finished the missions already and didn't take screenies?)

I think we can rely on the fact that lying about your missions gives you more bad credit than fame.

The list is limited to 15 entries max. so it will not stretch the wiki pages beyond a certain height - we will do some cosmetic changes in the near future tho, like additional (and better) icons.

If the list interferes with your wiki layout plans, i am open to suggestions - like different font size, or the 3 list sections next to eachother instead of stacked, so they consume less vertical space.

 

There will be a lot of custom functions in the future, displaying all kind of data from the database, most of them will be of more or less purely informational value (you may see the mission tracker as a first field test for homegrown wiki parse hooks) - i agree, a "hall of fame" table is not strictly informational (it aint completely useless tho, even from an information point of view - if you seek info that can't be provided thru the wiki, like i.e. "how much did you spend/lose to complete that mission" for instance, you know who you can ask), but imo, the "highest loots on this mob/ressource/crafted item" showing date/time and avatar name is not much different.

I would prefer tho that we discuss objections which put a question mark over complete features in the staff lounge and leave the public parts of the forum to the "how to improve/adapt/enhance certain features" discussions and "useful, not useful, useful with this and that addition..." or similar feedback.

 

That's a good sugggestion, something definitely worth considering.

We do not need the wiki addon tho, the current parsing hook uses "only" wiki tags, but we can output raw html if we wish.

I have a bit trouble understanding the feedback tho, this first (very basic) parsing hook opens up a whole new dimension of custom content, it enables us to go far beyond the limits of the "normal" wiki - but instead of an incoming flood of ideas we discuss the presence of info that may break your layout plan (which can be easily adapted, my knowledge of the wiki tags is mediocre at best), but seriously, it's not like it hurts someone to have that stuff there.

 

Great stuff!

 

All 14 Calypso Gateway mission are now available in the Mission Tracker,

hurry up and grab one of the top 5 spots on the list!

 

Hi :)

When I go to the Mission Tracker and click on the Mark as Complete link for some new ones I have done - the page refreshes, but has not updated my status for the mission I clicked....

 

Same for me now :(

Looks really nice :)
