SotAwiki Update Thread

Hello! I am submitting a few emotes that are missing from the excellent Sotawiki emote page. I would edit them myself but in all honesty, I don't remember where I got them. I'm sure our amazing community will be able to help:

Akimbo
Autumn Leaves
Eat
Read Book
Read Paper
Smell Bad
Smell Good
Talk Angry 1
Talk Angry 2 (On the list you just have Talk Angry but there are two different emotes for this - for when you're REALLY angry I guess)
Write Book
Write Paper

Thanks for the invaluable resource!

 

Thank you for the kind words. I'll get these added this afternoon; I seem to remember some of these from several releases ago, so I must have overlooked adding them.

 

autumn leaves was a telethon one, with the autumn fairy dress and crown. other than that, the rest were actually straight-out gifted to all accounts. i'm not sure both talk angries were, though.

 

the single Talk Angry was replaced with Talk Angry1 & 2

 

I've gone through the previous release notes, and added all of these with the exception of Talk Angry. For some reason, I have Talk Angry 1 on my character, but not Talk Angry 2, and I can't find a reference where they were split or how they should be awarded. I'll continue to search.

 

@Browncoat Jayson did the new squirrel carcass, meat and recipes but couldn't find how to edit the navbox for carcass (and forgot to note the weight/value of carcass and meat while crafting....)

 

done.

thanks

 

are there categories for things you cna salvage for components and things you can salvage for (non-eternal) patterns? if the categories are made, i'll go through the old notes and mark the items appropriately. don't know if anything needs to be done to make a category or i can create one BY flagging something with it.

 

Currently, no we don't have categories for those. We should probably add a template that adds a section to the page about salvaging results, and a new category.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

 

I've created a Salvage category, however to populate it I'd really prefer to get it into a usable table. Therefore, I've created some templates to sort and organize them.

You can add a template to the item which will populate everything. For craftable items, put this below the Craft box, but on others just add it above the first heading (usually the Gallery). Here is the format:

Code:

{{salvage
|skill=Blacksmithing, Carpentry, or Tailoring
|item1=ItemName
|item1min=Minimum number of possible salvaged item1's, if greater than 0
|item1max=Maximum number of possible salvaged item1's, if greater than 1
...
|item10
|item10min
|item10max
}}

I've made an example of this on the Maple Longbow page, although it might not be accurate yet. For now, ignore any errors (little triangles at the end of the table), as it is not populating the Semantic query properly yet.

Let me know if you have any questions about this

 

okay, that'll work! i was starting with adding the elven bowstrings to the woodwind bows:

a: where are you getting the range of scrap count produced, experimentation?
b: the short woodwind bow has a chance to drop a bowstave of any wood as far as i know, but i cannot link to short bowstave in general (or even to bowstave in general) and if i link all the woods individually it would look like you could get more than one bowstave per bow since each wood would have a chance
c: the same applies to the bowstrings: i think you can get one from a short bow and two from a longbow, but if you get two from a longbow they're never gonna be mixed, i.e. one elven bowstring and one imbued elven bowstring of precision, so how to indicate that if you get one bowstring type you won't get the other?

for now i'm just going to add all the tier three materials where available

 

@Alley Oop
a: yes, experimentation
b: You can link to Wooden Short Bowstave, but I'm not too worried about showing the odds; it will still be accurate, as long as the minimum on them are all set to zero (i.e., you can get 0-1 Maple Bowstave and 0-1 Pine Bowstave).
c: Same, you can just link to Bow String, and separately link to the two Elven strings if you'd like.

Not to mention that the woodwind bows also have patterns...

 

i am not looking at patterns yet!

ah, i was missing "wooden"

can it link in the other direction, too, so the elven bowstring page not only lists that it comes from carp salvage, but from what item(s)?

 

I haven't done anything special for this but you could use the available line in the info box item to show where it comes from

the salvage category is described as items that can be salvaged, and that's gonna cover QUITE a number of things. what's also needed is a category for items that can be gotten BY salvage

 

Renamed and added.

I created a Salvaged Item category for these, but I havn't gone through to populate all of the components yet.

 

Question: is there some kind of a {{Spoiler text="Snape kills Dumbledore"}} macro or tag in this wiki? I think it would be a useful thing.

 

There are two ways to do this. The {{Spoiler}} template adds a notice that the page contains spoilers, which should be put at the top of the section where the spoilers are. Within the text, there are {{Spoiler Text|Snape kills Dumbledore}} which is just a single bit of text, or {{Keyword Spoiler|keyword=Snape|description=Kills Dumbledore}}, which is dual columned and designed to contain conversation keywords and responses.
