Wiki Updated - Mobs

Discussion in 'EntropiaPlanets Wiki' started by Bernz, Nov 3, 2009.

  1. I added the missing Miner Bot and Molisk.

    I've linked each Mob to a new page.

    I create Tables with Headers and listed Maturity, Generation, ect. for each animals, robots, mutants and humanoids.

    I also added columns for the Stats we see with scanner. It will avoid to add screenshots of these stats.

    I also added in all pages tables for Loots and Locations of Mobs. Will need to add more rows to enter all Loots but it's not that hard.



    Overall, what I've done is only the structure. There are no stats at all in it for now.

    My brain started buzzing few hours ago. I hope I did not make too many mistakes. If I made mistake(s) it should be easy to fix because the structure is already there.

    I thought I could fill the charts today but because I'm a Wiki newb, it took me all day long to create only the structure, so I will fill it later.




    If you mess with what I've done I will be like :eek:.
    So if I missed something and you think you cant fix it without destroying my work, please post the details here and I will fix it myself asap.

    wow ... I'm like :tongue4: and :drool: ... and even ... :openmouth:

    I'm so amazed by what you have accomplished! Damn nice work.

    You deserve the title Wiki Guru :bowdown:
     

  3. Hey-Hey-Hey.
    Thank you very much. I dont know if I deserve it but if you say so I'll take it with pleasure.

    I did it because I wanted to do. It educated me at same time about 3-4 Mobs I just did not know about their existance yet and ofc about how it's a big work to build a Wiki.

    I never thought it could take as much time to do this. And I did only few tables btw. I'll never look at a Wiki the same way as before.

    question for you guys. I added a pic of an Exa in th wiki table Bernz made and was wondering if that image is OK with you guys. It is the DNA pic of the mob (and I kinda stole it from entropedia.info). If you like it and if you dont have any problem with the 'stolen' pics I'll post them in the table. If you dont like them or have a problem with the 'stolen' pics I'll go and make new ones from the animal info screen in game.

    Let me know so I can begin my work :).

    Hey Razer - the OTHER Wiki Guru :D

    We actually hoped for brand new pictures of the animals. Mostly because my guess is, that the new vu would give better looking mobs to post? (Correct me if I'm wrong). But also to have something the other wiki doesn't have. It's difficult to start all over, I know :umn:! I will hopefully soon get more RAM on my PC and then I am planning on running around taking new mobs and location pictures :)

    Is that ok?

    You know I'm talking about the small icon like thingies in the table right?

    I'll go and do some examples to start with, so you can check if you are OK with them before I go and run around finding all the mobs :)

    The big pictures will of course be new VU10.2 mobs. I'll start collecting some pics right now :).

    OH lol ... nevermind the n00b here :rabbit:

    Sounds like a plan to me :)

    Go ahead, don't let me disturb your great work ... I just stand in the corner and ... :shots:

    Thanks Razer :yay:

    was thinking about what you said and I think we should do our own pics, even in the small thumb thingy (even if it is only to give me something to do :)). I have put one for the Exarosaur in there. Let me know what you think.

    Remember it is the small icon in front of the name in the table and click on it to to see the green lines I but under it (dont know why, just thought it looks nice)

    http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/Mobs

    need to come up with a nice name for the pics to, so we can identify what they are used for. Was thinking about

    moblist_thumb_exarosaur.png
    moblist_thumb_combibo.png
    moblist_thumb_atrox.png
    etc.

    sorry I'm a neat freak and want things like that so people understand what it is used for (people hate me for that at my job :))

    Hey :)
    I think it looks good. Later on I might add a picture with an exo in it's natural inviroment :D as something *Different* to other wikis :)

    The naming sounds good too - easy to recognice!

    :thumbup:

    Not a bad trait to have at all. You'd be surprised at how many times I've seen programming code where variables are just called a, b, c, d, e, etc.

    It makes it extremely tedious to figure out what code does, and I always try and write out my variable names to be as descriptive as possible, so it's (ideally) instantly clear what type it is, and what it is used for.

    It's a bit extra effort while coding, but the amount of time you save during maintenance pays back for that tenfold.

    RAZER Custom title ... uh ...

    Don't do a lot of coding but I'm a draftsman in an architects office and we work with a lot of CAD files. We have set up a system where you can see by the name of the file what is in there and in what place in the building it is located and I can't stand people calling there file plan_ver1.dwg in a 10 story building and you have no idea what level it is and if that is the correct version.

    Anyway getting of topic here, sorry :)
     
  12. I also thought it would be cool to have a different look from the original entropedia.

    It's not that hard to create a different look, but what about the stats of everything? Should we copy Entropedia for that or just take 1-2 years for all gathering the same infos ourself just to have "not a copy of the other" ?

    But for the pics, I think it would be better to have new ones from EntropiaPlanets members. Stats is the same, no one would notice it, but the pics ..... :argue:


    And btw, this table http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/Mobs is made by Lykke I think. I only added links to the Mobs names and created pages for each.




    Another thing ...

    I took the liberty to not make the tables exactly the same as Entropedia, not only to be different, but I thought some infos like the markup of loots is not really useful because there is already many place to look for it. Anyway, this kind of infos is hard to keep accurate manually.

    I thought, the best is to have kind of infos that do not change often. But if soon or later someone want it that much, it not hard to add few columns.



    Another thing ...

    No need to ask me for changes. ofc, if things I do is broke, I will :eek::openmouth::(, but I cant :curse: or :shoot: at you.
    You know, it's not "MY" Wiki. Please, feel free to add your things, it can only be better. I cant do it all myself anyway. It would take all my life. I'm kind of slow man.

    RAZER Custom title ... uh ...

    Sure you cant :curse: or :shoot: at me, but because this is the very start of OUR wiki I thought it would be a good idea to streamline it a bit with the rest of the people here so we have a solid base to start from.

    Will be doing some pic hunting this week to fill in the gaps (well fill in info to create gaps for now).

    And don't worry, I wont break anything, I always keep a backup when doing some mayor stuff in there.

    I wont :curse: or :shoot:at all ... and that table I made looks horrible (VF says :confused: ) so feel free to change that too ....

    Stats on animals and tools, guns etc. of course we can borrow that. I don't see either why we should start over with that (but do we know if they are real and updated??)

    It's mostly the graphic looks and what we write, I would not mind if we make an efford to do differently. Fx I wrote something about those big flying ehh ... things .. and I rewrote it. I would also love more pictures and less talk tbh :) But yes, new pictures!

    I also talked with the guy, Falco, who makes those awesome city maps here:http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/2124249-post1.html

    And we have his fully permission to add the maps to the wiki also as long as we write the 'source-name' (Falco) :)



    (I personally believe you two are doing an awesome job there -it's a bitch to collect material and pop it in)

    And I finalized the skills and professions overview pages :thumbup: Currently trying to figure out how to add a link back to the forum/main site.

    Damn lack of documentation. Someone ought to create a wiki on how to properly tune a wiki.

    love this wiki stuff. Added some of the pics of the skills in the table, will do more.
