[lapis kindle]

ye, now that we know what we need it'll be easier next time we can go back in-game

[heavy gale]

it might worth setting a max width for the gallery so it doesn't keep alternating sizes with the pictures

[stiff dove]

@heavy gale did yall get the info boxes working?

[heavy gale]

not yet, still waiting for the TemplateStyles extension to be installed as it looks like Scribunto has already been enabled

need TemplateStyles inorder to import the infoboxes modules/dependant modules from wikipedia

I have decided to give myself a Linux VPS though so I can try getting info boxes working on there and then setup some teamplates for it and then port them over to the finals wiki

[stiff dove]

noice
yeah i thought it would be a quick thing to set up, but it takes some fiddling around i guess. didn't wanna look much further into it, in the end some poor soul at embark has to do it anyway?

[real stirrup]

Just been flicking through the pages - starting to look great!

[heavy gale]

yeah, Dusty or someone needs to do all the extension installing as it requires putting stuff into the root MediaWiki directory and editing local settings files

[real stirrup]

Yeah, I think Dusty coordinates with some of their IT team to do that when they have time, so we might need a little patience on those things

[heavy gale]

We got plenty of time, not really an urgent thing considering content is the most important part + the game doesn't come out for a while

[stiff dove]

good thing that's being worked on, wiki looks really clean, as i said again i really like the "classic" wiki and not the fandom stuff. the templates will be very useful :)

[real stirrup]

yeah, Duh and I used Fandom for a bit - it was awful

Then we saw the BFEE wiki and were like - "that's us"

Really great of Embark to allow that to happen

[stiff dove]

i thought atleast it'd be easy to work with since the user experience is not good imo

[heavy gale]

trueee

[stiff dove]

yeah cool thing

[real stirrup]

I think it was ok to put info in, but it looks like cat sick

cat sick with ads

[heavy gale]

I want ours to have a starcitizen wiki vibe in the end

their wiki is awesome

[real stirrup]

Looking at SC wiki now. It does look pretty good.

[heavy gale]

[real stirrup]

whoops does

[heavy gale]

ah ok

[stiff dove]

the cookie banner and the ads 🤢

that's enough already xd

i dont even touch fandoms wiki on mobile

[heavy gale]

I think the only fandom wiki I've used is the tarkov one

mostly because you kinda have to use it for the game

[real stirrup]

haha, yeah, imagine playing EFT without maps

https://tenor.com/view/management-blind-bird-box-sandra-bullock-gif-13812092

[heavy gale]

maps and quests considering the game doesn't tell you shit about where you need to go apart from what map the quest is on

[sweet locust]

Yeah especially woods

I've walked into way to many land mines

[heavy gale]

I used to love woods and then they expanded it

now I get lost every time if I spawn in the not-so-new part

[sweet locust]

I love woods I think it's fun

I just get an sks and camp at scav house

[heavy gale]

DVL + woods = fun

I usually always complete shooter born in heaven and then give up on the game

haven't bothered this wipe though

[sweet locust]

I'm to scared to go into streets of tarkov

Ive doing just scav runs in streets to understand it

[heavy gale]

yeah, I haven't PMC'd on streets at all

it's just a horrible map considering how many PScavs spawn in

[real stirrup]

I haven't really played EFT since they added the ping cap - I enjoyed going in with Duhmeister and co, but I don't have the time to dedicate to it to play solo. They need to have some global servers for those who just want to jump in with their overseas mates.

[heavy gale]

if only but I doubt they would ever add global servers, they can barely manage their servers atm

[sweet locust]

True

[real stirrup]

SCUM has added ping caps too, although I think they have a few global servers.

[sweet locust]

I'm excited for EFT arena, it looks really good and it isn't just a EFT port, they remade the game scratch

So better net code baby let's go

[heavy gale]

forgot about arena, that does look like it will be fun

[stiff dove]

I tried getting into EFT when Streets released. While the game is unique and has really cool mechanics and in general is pretty ambitious, the technical debt it has imo is huge and I (as a newbie) don't see myself getting invested into it. It's not a fair comparison of course, but for example it's just a fresh breath of air what embark is doing with the finals, and that's what I need, like it wouldn't surprise me if they upgrade to UE 5.1 for the next playtest/release

[sweet locust]

Did you just compare the finals to the most hyper realistic shooter

[manic reef]

Yes they did

[heavy gale]

we gonna need a favicon

[lone monolith]

Working on it

[heavy gale]

Kyne be working hard

[lone monolith]

Well, Embark is working on it

In due time 🙏

[heavy gale]

[sweet locust]

[shell mauve]

[heavy gale]

I want that blob emoji

[heavy gale]

I added a max-width div to the m60 slideshow because it was annoying me that it kept constantly changing widths whenever I went to the next image

also the edit source of mediawiki doesn't like indenting, like what

I would have added a class to https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css however don't have edit permissions for it

[lone monolith]

Could get asked to be made a admin so I can edit it for you

[sweet locust]

https://tenor.com/view/salute-gif-26234776

[heavy gale]

become our admin

I've added the V9S slideshow also

[lone monolith]

@golden laurel Can I petition to become a admin on the wiki so I can help a bit more with the formatting?

[heavy gale]

is there a bulk uploader for mediawiki or do we have to upload each file individually?

[lone monolith]

I think you have to upload individually

[heavy gale]

ah ok, I didn't waste time uploading the V9S images

[heavy gale]

ok so got infobox base template to work on my VPS, just need to test out making templates and see what happens I guess

and now I sleep as I just saw the time and I got work in the morning

[lone monolith]

I'm gonna look at it in the morning but I redid the EE hunt page

I'm gonna have to figure out how to format it since it needs to be in detail but it's going to get prohibitively long soon.

@real stirrup What do you think? https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Tiered_Pre-Release_Easter_Eggs_from_THE_FINALS_website,_Discord_and_Twitter

Yes I figured out a way to auto-hide the table of contents so it doesn't take up the entire screen when you first look at it

[real stirrup]

Can we get it do each Tier is a first tab in the contents list and any images or subdivision under those step in?

[lone monolith]

Yeah let me do that rq, although I fear it might be nessecary to keep it as it is for it to be readable

[real stirrup]

something like this

very roughly drawn - but Level One and Level two should be on the same tab, and tiers the next one in (effectively Level 1 only had 1 Tier)

I wonder if we need to separate the Levels and maybe even the tiers onto separate pages - it's going to get very long by Tier 9

[lone monolith]

It has to be the way I formated it otherwise it becomes kinda, well, very difficult to read lol

[real stirrup]

yeah, that's why I reckon we should move to separate pages

[lone monolith]

OHH

HOld on

[real stirrup]

Maybe with an overview page

[lone monolith]

Got it

[real stirrup]

Yeah, so each Tier would need a page exactly like that

So: Overview page > Levels page > Tier pages

With something as complex as these EEs are, I think it's better to chunk it down like that

[lone monolith]

yEAH

I just worry about T1D as that's gonna be...

11 images long lol

[real stirrup]

I think that's ok if it's all one tier

[lone monolith]

I think splitting tiers by 3 might be a good idea

A-B-C. D-E-F.

AAB AAC AAAAFFFF

[real stirrup]

Part of the problem is we don't know how complex the following tiers might be

[lone monolith]

Also @lapis kindle the new art you made for the Loadout and Contact sections look absolutely amazing. Thanks!

[real stirrup]

And the themes between tiers don't fully relate

[lone monolith]

We'll think about it

I don't feel like spending 2 hours writing for 6 images again within the next couple of days

[real stirrup]

ok, maybe go with the groups, but we might decide down the track to split them up

sound good?

[lone monolith]

I'll go ahead and split it up to Level 1 and Level 2 with some placeholder art

[real stirrup]

Yeah, I think levels should be split

Level 3 could be gnarly

[real stirrup]

Great!

[lone monolith]

Hey hey hey

Wait a moment

Wth

These have been sitting here... THIS ENTIRE TIME

🫠

[real stirrup]

Yeah, I used those recently

[lone monolith]

Welll

[real stirrup]

The Monaco one is cool

[lone monolith]

At least we have them for the map section now

As soon as I convert them to AVI

[real stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/true-kramer-thats-true-true-dat-seinfeld-gif-9432807

[lone monolith]

(I was looking through the press kit to find a good shot of a gadget being used)

Alright, final list of changes I've done:

Added Gadgets to the Loadout section on the Main Page.
Split up the Easter Eggs section into Level One & Two. Rewrote Level One completely.
Went through and moved every image to the right and normalized their size.

[real stirrup]

[sweet locust]

Kyne is cooking

[manic reef]

looks at finals wiki
sees photo for specializations page
no specialization on the photo

[sour laurel]

would we make a Arc Raiders wiki now? or wait for more info

[heavy gale]

100% wait for more info I would say

[shell mauve]

And besides, if I understood correctly, I think Arc Raiders Community (from the unofficial discord) is very different than this one..

I wonder how they’d feel if someone else gets the privilege without them also getting involved haha (I just heard stories)

[sweet locust]

true

[shell mauve]

I need to write more strengths and weaknesses boys

But I’m running out of guns I played adequately

[sweet locust]

just say the riot shield was bad

doodoo stinky

[shell mauve]

I have only played 2 rounds with it and I felt like it was not bad but didn’t feel like I wanted it to feel

The mesh shield did what I wanted the riot shield to feel like

[heavy gale]

ooo I see we got the social media banners

they look cool

[manic reef]

shield wasn't bad
it just isn't as fun as the other 2

[sweet locust]

they look clean

[heavy gale]

changed the socials image box from

to

looks cleaner in my opinion

ah ok, SPEAR added/made them, very nice job @lapis kindle

[vagrant compass]

Love the little crowned Nama

[shell mauve]

Nice nice!

The moment someone joins the discord through the wiki.. we’re gods

[vagrant compass]

I think we can check who joined from where 🤔

[heavy gale]

could always do this kinda design for the social media links

[sweet locust]

Now we are cooking

[stiff dove]

very cool

yes, since now there are socials i'd also suggest to put it somewhere on the top

[heavy gale]

I'll start working on infoboxes on my VPS sometime today as now all the modules/base template has imported correctly on mine

[stiff dove]

I guess adding several pictures together as a gallery fucks up the format of the image descriptions?

[manic reef]

I tidied up the text in the builds page a while ago

[vagrant compass]

Most of these have been added aside from the third one, poke us if there's any problems

[heavy gale]

Thank you

[vagrant compass]

No prob, we'll see if we can do the third one

[heavy gale]

the third one isn't the most needed thing, it's just there in case it was possible, if it's trouble though we can just skip it

[sweet locust]

I've seen the heavy build description change so many times lmao, it went from tanky, to tank like to defensive and now to sturdiest

We are bipolar lmao

[shell mauve]

Sturdiest?

Hmm

Haha maybe a little, but it’s also not a lie..

I can live with sturdiest for now

[stiff dove]

[shell mauve]

Cannot be arsed to look up synonyms to avoid “heaviest”

Which we want to avoid of course

[sweet locust]

i think im re write the light build, i didnt want to change it cuz someone else made it and didnt want to be rude

but i think im re do it to make it match up

[shell mauve]

What are you changing about it? 😮

[sweet locust]

rn its this

[shell mauve]

Wait

Where is my correction of that!?

Ffs

[sweet locust]

yeah it got changed

its fine i changed the medium akm to short medium range

[shell mauve]

I literally added, corrected and improved…

It was 3 times as long with some weapon links

Is there any way we can find back my contribution?

[sweet locust]

or we can just re write it

[shell mauve]

No, fuck that

It was alot of work (put in a lot of thought)

And I’m just plain pissed tbh

[sweet locust]

oh no

[heavy gale]

mmm

[shell mauve]

So basically it got deleted because it was on the main page and the outdated version that nobody touched is all we have now..

I’m gonna take a break

[sour laurel]

i think rockhound can see all the history that has been made

[shell mauve]

Bye yall

[manic reef]

cya later

[vagrant compass]

All the edits can be viewed and restored from the history page, no?

[heavy gale]

I'm looking through the history

[sour laurel]

yes

what is your name Povich?

[vagrant compass]

I suggest everyone write their contributions in a separate local doc, so in case of any mix-ups you can always bring stuff back or connect multiple contributions together

[sour laurel]

on wiki

[sweet locust]

i got it

[heavy gale]

slam it into the page

[heavy gale]

noice

[sweet locust]

there we go

[manic reef]

this sounds almost exactly what the game says about the heavy build
me likey

[shell mauve]

Thanks bro!

[stiff dove]

So I looked it up, it doesn't seem like there is a way (without doing some hacky stuff with maybe changing css-styles) to make the image description of a gallery inline, as like when you have a single image (like In-Game Sponsors). But you could use another preset for it, which would make it like this, which looks a bit better I think. You can see the difference on the picture here:
Maps is "Traditional with no outlines", Loadout is "Traditional" display mode.
You can set this by: editing a gallery --> Options --> Display mode: "Traditional with no outlines"

[sweet locust]

okay we are gaming

its restored

[manic reef]

something about this feels off to me

[sweet locust]

this is what its looking like rn

[heavy gale]

Also as the loadouts bit has now the captions within the images, we can probably just get rid of the whole description/border (apart from the gadgets one)

[shell mauve]

Sigh..

R.357 is not a short range weapon

[heavy gale]

[sweet locust]

i changed it

[shell mauve]

I wrote it as “a versatile weapon”

[manic reef]

Oh does it still say that? 🤣

[sweet locust]

sorry that one is out of date

this is the current one

[shell mauve]

I based it off this screenshot haha

Haha thanks bro

[heavy gale]

I wonder if we have like daily backups for the wiki

[sweet locust]

kina

kinda*

[heavy gale]

history does not count

[sweet locust]

when someone makes a edit it saves that portion of the wiki forever

[manic reef]

I'm going to change that first sentence for light
But is used to introduced new information
Sacrificed health is certainly new, but the mobility is something that is already mentioned

After I'm done eating

[heavy gale]

also this

[sweet locust]

i agree

[shell mauve]

I will from now on yeah

[heavy gale]

on the bright side, wiki be looking good

[shell mauve]

Oh dude, I think its amazing regardless

[heavy gale]

@stiff dove you making changes to the main page atm?

[stiff dove]

no no

[heavy gale]

ah ok

[stiff dove]

you're a free bird

[sweet locust]

bruh i forgot how much stuff added links to things

i wanted it to look more professional 💀

[stiff dove]

you could link like every word , use it sparingly, where it does make sense

[shell mauve]

I do like how wiki automatically suggests the page you wanna link to if you write the same title

Saves so much time going back and forth

[lapis kindle]

that’s why i left them as they were

i’ll make a new image for Specializations, and have that one go to Gadgets since it’s more accurate

– i was tired when i made those changes

175+ msgs here, we cooking

[sweet locust]

we cooking

[lapis kindle]

additionally PLEASE, leave a comment on your Changes before Publishing. it makes it so much easier to track what’s going on

[sweet locust]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-look-the-other-way-look-away-awkward-weird-gif-17246188

[lapis kindle]

btw, the reason i left the Social banners the way they were is because that’s how i could currently keep the links

i’m assuming we can add links to images with a different method?

– they are not hyperlinked atm so we’re not redirecting users anywhere

[heavy gale]

ah yeah, just saw that

I'll fix it

[vagrant compass]

Totally agree. It helps not turn it into a too many cooks situation

[lapis kindle]

i literally just woke up, i’ll come back in a few

[sweet locust]

we can i was gonna get started on that and learn how

[lapis kindle]

awesome

[stiff dove]

maybe set up a guideline to check out with the discord first

[autumn oak]

Great work on the wiki everyone contributing. Looking slick

[stiff dove]

for huge changes

[heavy gale]

@lapis kindle they now have links attached to the images [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Discord.png|none|border|300px|link=https://discord.com/invite/thefinals|Discord]] [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Twitter.png|none|border|300px|link=https://twitter.com/reachthefinals|Twitter]] [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Youtube.png|none|border|300px|link=https://www.youtube.com/@reachthefinals|YouTube]]

[shell mauve]

“Poviches light”

I got my own class hehe

[lapis kindle]

ooh so that's how it's done. thanks!

[shell mauve]

I’m afraid I don’t fit the light class at 6’2”

[lapis kindle]

can that be pinned for future reference?

[lone monolith]

Luke the MVP of formatting

[shell mauve]

Do we need to put tags on the links for yall to see if people used the wiki to get to any of the social media or nah? @vagrant compass

[sweet locust]

Pog

[vagrant compass]

What kind of tags? (I'm not extremely familiar)

[shell mauve]

Trackers

Like a piece of code that it tracks the conversion I guess

[stiff dove]

you mean for analytics?

[vagrant compass]

Ah, I see. I'm going to check with the team!

[lone monolith]

@heavy gale What page did you want me to try to edit? I've been made a admin so I should be able to check and see if I can put whatever CSS code you wanted in.

[lapis kindle]

honestly i recommend the same - i have my own documents before plugging to the Wiki

[heavy gale]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css try adding .gun-slideshow { position: relative; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 1250px; height: 1%; } to see if it works @lone monolith

[lone monolith]

Where do I need to check if it's been updated?

The gun image slideshows?

[heavy gale]

it works, thanks @lone monolith

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/M60

I just wanted it for this one for now to set a default width

<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:M60 Standard issue.png
File:M60 dye job.png
File:M60 uniform lacquer.png
File:M60 Camo Splash.png
File:M60 winding fret.png
File:M60 criss cross clash.png
File:M60 totally ironic.png
File:M60 warped monitor.png
File:M60 iseult all kill.png
File:M60 ospuze quench your thirst.png
</gallery>
</div>

we will need to edit the Common.css and add some other shit to it most likely in the future anyway if we need to do styling and stuff

[shell mauve]

Damn that looks good homies

Who wrote that strengths and weaknesses bit

He deserves a cafecito

And a stroopwafel

[heavy gale]

most the templates we end up creating will probably use the extension TemplateStyles so we can all edit the css (hopefully) which got installed today

[lapis kindle]

gonna make some now ☕

[lapis kindle]

that's great, i've used a bit of CSS before - just need to refresh my memory

[shell mauve]

I already gave him two cappuccinos

[stiff dove]

I love to take a look at css code and never touch it again

[sweet locust]

We are like the infinite monkey theorem but for wikipedia

If we bash our heads into our keyboard long enough we will eventually finish the wiki

[shell mauve]

The strengths and weaknesses of the V9S “does pew pew pew quickly, but tickled more than it hurts”

[sweet locust]

Every strength and weakness should just have is stronger then the AKM

[shell mauve]

Nah AKM is really nice

[heavy gale]

"Weakness: doesn't backstab, strength: shoots bullets"

[shell mauve]

Strength: you don’t have to talk with the other person. Weakness: you won’t make any friends

I believe that my bit about the sniper rifle kinda implies “your teammates won’t like you”

The pistol is decent yeah

Me too

I think the light generally has a great arsenal

[heavy gale]

SMG is pog, pistol was good too though

[shell mauve]

I still think the AKM is the most balanced weapon

But people seem to disagree 😉

[heavy gale]

I never minded the AKM

[shell mauve]

The smg?

Nah akm is good.. it doesn’t need to be perfect

Its already a better homage to the real thing than any other game

[heavy gale]

I prefer the AKM over the rev mostly because I seem to suck at aiming with the rev

[shell mauve]

I think a lot of people don’t understand how cool that is

Haha OP nah

Its a skill check 😉

Slight nerf won’t upset me though

Slightly lower damage and add fanning

And I’ll give it my seal of approval

[heavy gale]

nice updated specializations @lapis kindle

[lapis kindle]

qq: do we want to call them Arenas instead of Maps? - wondering if we want to use the same nomenclature as the game, tho Maps is easier to understand quickly

[stiff dove]

maybe call it Arenas and in the introduction refer maps to them?

[lapis kindle]

ye that's what i thought

[shell mauve]

Sure

[heavy gale]

Arenas should be fine, don't think people would be that confused

[manic reef]

Sounds like a skill issue 🤣

[stiff dove]

yeah i think that's true as well

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shell mauve]

I actually wrote feedback on the revolver in the feedback because I dunno if I actually ever officially wrote feedback on it

I know I mentioned it while playing with devs during the beta but not in any of my written feedback itself

[sweet locust]

The only feedback I said was saying I think the AKM should have a slightly faster rpm like 2 or 3 faster

[heavy gale]

I've changed the Loadouts gallery to remove the outlines and added links to the images

[sweet locust]

I think the AKM damage is fine And good it just needs to be slightly faster

[heavy gale]

Also done the same for the Arenas bit considering the images have map names on them

[lapis kindle]

yes, that looks great for Main Page

[manic reef]

should gadgets really be here

[heavy gale]

also, fuck whoever did this, WHERE'S THE CONSISTENCY

[lone monolith]

That would be me half drunk doing it

[sweet locust]

What u drinking

[heavy gale]

[lapis kindle]

lemme show you how it's done

[lone monolith]

Insomnia

[sweet locust]

Good drink

[heavy gale]

probably not

[sweet locust]

There's a lot of them so we could make a new page for them

Maybe

[lone monolith]

When the weapons page got hidden I was messing with combined tables, that's the only reason it's there. Gadget already has it's own table in gadgets.

[manic reef]

thank you for putting an actual specialization there 😭

[stiff dove]

BARRELS

[lapis kindle]

i did

just some simple banners to get going in the Main Page - we can always update them in the future

[heavy gale]

should we get a banner for Easter Eggs so that we can replace

[lone monolith]

Not yet

There's something I'm planning on replacing it with

🕵️

[heavy gale]

👀

[shell mauve]

[manic reef]

time to make a very minor change

[lone monolith]

This is why you don't try to remember gadget names off the top of your head

[shell mauve]

I wish we had renders of all the weapons without relying on screesnhots :c

[heavy gale]

yeah

[lone monolith]

I'll probably start asking around for that closer to release

[shell mauve]

@vagrant compass could you ask if there is any way we can get the renders of all the weapons (excl. skins) ?

I mean for gadgets it would be great regardless

[lone monolith]

s p i n n i n g g u n

[shell mauve]

guns have have pretty good documentation/screenshots

[lapis kindle]

we should add the in-game descriptions of Weapons, Gadgets and such somewhere in their pages (unless they already are, haven't checked)

[manic reef]

#easter-eggs message
you literally have 1/4 of the results for the words glitch trap 😂

wait shoot make that 2/9

[lone monolith]

I was literally going off of my own writeup when I was making the table and still got it wrong

[heavy gale]

I think they should just give us a steam branch which we can access the store/loadouts

[shell mauve]

well that would still be a pain.. its easier if they just have a render for every weapon at exactly the same angle with no background nothing

[manic reef]

just learn to datamine 🧠

[quasi echo]

Leak THE FINALS?

[lapis kindle]

this. it needs to be consistent across the board so it looks great

[manic reef]

nononono leak the finals assets /s

[lapis kindle]

Embark: we literally gave you guys the "hide UI" option

[lone monolith]

[lapis kindle]

[sweet locust]

I agree I think we are at a point we are just gonna need renders from the devs

[shell mauve]

for the gadgets we do already imho

[sweet locust]

But I would hate bother them, I would feel bad lmao

[shell mauve]

well its nearly weekend so we need to be patient ;0 and maybe chunk it

not ask for everything at once

[lapis kindle]

this the type of consistency i imagine

[lone monolith]

That level of consistency is gonna cause me to flatline

[sweet locust]

Same brother

[lapis kindle]

it's not that hard if you know what you need haha

[shell mauve]

thats a horrible pun haha

[manic reef]

this corner empty
time to insert the logo

[lone monolith]

I like my crappy puns

[manic reef]

how do i put the logo there

[heavy gale]

requires embark staff I think

[lapis kindle]

Embark or admin for sure

[heavy gale]

you have to edit the LocalSettings.php to change the location of the logos file

[lone monolith]

Did someone say admin

Nevermind

[sweet locust]

Lmao

[lapis kindle]

btw, how do we add breadcrumbs for navigation?

[heavy gale]

choose a good extension I guess

[sweet locust]

By tearing off pieces of bread

[lapis kindle]

now you need to change your name to Admin | Kyne

[sweet locust]

Yes

[lone monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-thats-illegal-halo-meme-gif-14048618

[autumn oak]

I for one welcome our new Kyne overlord

[sweet locust]

Noops

How's it going

[manic reef]

kyne promoted? pog

[lone monolith]

I apperciate simpsons references

Since my brain is melted and I am only capable of making simpsons and futurama references

[autumn oak]

Pretty good. Long week and absolutely ready for some weekend though

[shell mauve]

wrong gif haha

[sweet locust]

Same

[shell mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/backfire-recoil-gunshot-gif-3553440

[manic reef]

ah yes, give rpg to light 😂

[lone monolith]

I slept for 4 hours and I've still got 7 and a half hours of work

[sweet locust]

Good luck

Honestly snort some caffeine that's I do

I may or may not be addicted to gamersupps

[lone monolith]

@heavy gale Do you know how to embed videos into the wiki?

We have two, one for Monaco and one for Seoul

[stiff dove]

i think you need the embedvideo extension

[vagrant compass]

Seems we won't need link trackers for analytics for now (and also again Discord just does this for free which is nice)

[heavy gale]

Luckily we have an EmbedVideo extension now, we might be able to just use the upload function and then do [[File:VideoName.mp4]]

[lone monolith]

upload function?

(I am a wikimedia noob)

[heavy gale]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Special:Upload

[stiff dove]

yes that should work

more info on usage is here: https://gitlab.com/hydrawiki/extensions/EmbedVideo/-/blob/master/README.md#usage

[lone monolith]

Doesn't seem to be working lol

[heavy gale]

[[File:THE_FINALS_MONACO_MAP_OVERVIEW_CBT.mp4]]

fixed it

[stiff dove]

xd

[lone monolith]

Why must this be difficult wikimedia

nvm

[stiff dove]

nah it works

[lone monolith]

I'm stupid

ignore

[heavy gale]

[lone monolith]

[stiff dove]

[heavy gale]

lucky timing that the extensions got added today

[lone monolith]

Can you work on having it show up on the left?

[stiff dove]

alignment="[left|center|right|inline]"

[heavy gale]

you mean right?

[lone monolith]

Yes

I am actually losing it today apparently

[heavy gale]

I'll have a play with it

Video is now on the right

might want to change the description of the video

[lapis kindle]

[heavy gale]

it follows the image format rules, so you can just do [[File:THE_FINALS_MONACO_MAP_OVERVIEW_CBT.mp4|thumb|400x200px|Video of something from something of something]] to make it on the right

[lone monolith]

Wonderful captain

Caption, but I like captain a bit more

[heavy gale]

[lone monolith]

Seoul is now also videoed

[heavy gale]

do me a favour and move the [[File: bits above ===overview=== xD

[lone monolith]

[heavy gale]

Thanks, I hate massive blank white spaces above stuff

the wiki looking very good though

[lone monolith]

What was the tag line again?

Exploit. Alter. Something else

[heavy gale]

Alter, exploit, and even destroy

[final token]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TiNX_tM7xe6YdHDZn7YIFKEd4FZHiDom/view

[heavy gale]

that's cute

[final token]

For the ee section kyne ? 🕵🏻‍♂️

[lone monolith]

I've got this uploaded if anyone has any use for it

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/File:THE_FINALS_GAMEPLAY_CLIPS_PREVIEW_EVENT.mp4

[lone monolith]

Still waiting for something else 🕵️

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Weapons

Might end up putting that file in Weapons & Gadgets

[shell mauve]

The video is nice!

[heavy gale]

cool

[shell mauve]

might as well quickly write the S&W for the V9S now

[heavy gale]

what even are the strengths for it

[shell mauve]

I need to expandm y vocab for this kind of stuff haha

[lone monolith]

It's really good at medium range

[shell mauve]

it is only restricted to how quick you can fire it.

alright well I hope i did a good job

I tend to write these things more creatively because its more fun to read 😉

but making sure I don't BS it please read it over and give me pointers

[heavy gale]

reads good

wait, don't you have an account on the wiki Povich?

[shell mauve]

I do!

[heavy gale]

ah, you not logged in?

[shell mauve]

oh I'm not logged in woops

[heavy gale]

Also,

420, nice

[shell mauve]

I'll log in after I added some copy to the main page load-out screen. I love the new icons btw.. its fresh AF

"The combination of weapons, gadgets and specialization can change a soldier into a medic, an assassin into an opportunistic objective player and a tank into a brawler."

[heavy gale]

ooo, that sounds pretty cool

[shell mauve]

would be nice if we have some facts about the builds.. like how tall is a light?

[lone monolith]

2ft

[shell mauve]

LOL

I feel like they're 150 or so

medium around 180

and heavy around 210?

[lone monolith]

Probably

[vagrant compass]

Would be actually really cool to know, and I bet there's someone out there who can calculate this from screenshots

[heavy gale]

send it to the easter egg people, they're

[shell mauve]

Haha you want us to guesstimate it? xD

[vagrant compass]

Time to spam the team with questions again

[heavy gale]

"those weird wiki people keep annoying me to ask you guys questions"

[vagrant compass]

The real-life heights may be a well-kept secret or not something that was considered, either way it seems we've got no official heights to share atm. You might have to put your characters next to buildings and try to find out

[lone monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-henry-cavill-cry-crying-tears-gif-4514132

[heavy gale]

just need the light model and then we can measure it in blender/unreal

it might be 10cm who knows

[vagrant compass]

Plot twist: the entirety of THE FINALS is actually compressed to a dollhouse size (Please don't quote me on this, I am joking)

[lone monolith]

Luke I somehow broke the entire main page without actually changing anything

OHH

I know

Okay let me fix it

I'm a small brain baby

[lapis kindle]

quick, before anyone else notices

[heavy gale]

what did you break?

[lone monolith]

I resized the image galleries

That removed the link association

So uh, I might've killed access to the entire wiki for 5 minutes

[heavy gale]

galleries are really finnicky

[lone monolith]

<gallery widths="480" heights="240" perrow="3" mode="nolines" style="margin-left: 0px;">
File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Discord.png|link=https://discord.gg/thefinals
File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Twitter.png|link=https://twitter.com/reachthefinals
File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Youtube.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/@reachthefinals
</gallery>
Where would I put centre in here to centre the gallery?

I should've seen that coming

[heavy gale]

you might be able to try add |center to the images in the gallery

if not

I did save this while I was fucking around <div style="display: grid; grid-auto-rows: minmax( 3rem, auto ); grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 300px); grid-gap: 0.625rem; justify-content: center; padding:15px;"> <div style="position: relative; width: 300px;"> [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Discord.png|center|border|300px|[https://discord.com/invite/thefinals Discord]]] </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 300px;"> [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Twitter.png|center|border|300px|center|[https://twitter.com/reachthefinals Twitter]]] </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 300px;"> [[File:THE-FINALS Wiki-Social Youtube.png|center|border|300px|[https://www.youtube.com/@reachthefinals YouTube]]] </div> </div> which centers them

[stiff dove]

<gallery widths="480" heights="240" perrow="3" mode="nolines" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> try this

[heavy gale]

could also try that, might work

[heavy gale]

and looks cleaner in the source editor considering it doesn't support identing

[lone monolith]

DREAM TEAM

[lapis kindle]

before we had this in just one line and they looked better imo - but i understand you're placing them like the Arena images

[heavy gale]

nah, the gallery is just fucking up which is causing that

trying to fix it

[lapis kindle]

ah i see

nvm then

[lone monolith]

I accidently made every gallery look like shit for a second but i reverted it

[lapis kindle]

lemme refresh my cache then

[stiff dove]

it auto-adjust for me depending on screen-size

[lapis kindle]

added this gallery in the Sponsors page - whenever we get new info that i can plug in then i'll link

[lapis kindle]

then it might be that. i'll just pretend they're in one line

if i look at it at 80% zoom they fall in

[lone monolith]

Is this where you've been for the past... hour?

[stiff dove]

yeah I though this setting in the gallery would set how many images are actually in a row, but I guess it's the max number of images in a row?

[lone monolith]

It's the max per row

[lapis kindle]

nah this took me a couple of minutes. i was doing other IRL stuff

[lone monolith]

Do we know anything about Petronelle Plaza?

I saw you mentioned it in the Iseul-t page but I never heard of it before

[lapis kindle]

we only know that it's a building named after OSPUZE's CEO, Sofia Petronelle

other than that no

[lone monolith]

Is it the building in the middle of Seoul?

[lapis kindle]

that's Iseul-t's tower

Petronelle is the glass building

[lone monolith]

Ah

The mall area?

[lapis kindle]

ye, the one with the elevator in the center of it

[lone monolith]

Interesting

Didn't know that

[lapis kindle]

we can add those details to Seoul page

i'll draft them up since that Arena is the one that holds the majority of the new "lore" regarding brands

[lone monolith]

Wilco

[heavy gale]

ah ok

sorted the Arenas + Loadouts images

it's because the width with set to 480 and height to 240 and it couldn't fill the width of that size with the supplied height for the image, so it just had "blank" white on both sides of the images

so changed it to widths="366" heights="240"

[lapis kindle]

so i don't actually mind bigger images when it comes to Arenas and Loadout

rn the hierarchy in images on the Main Page feels off

[lone monolith]

Petronelle Plaza, named after OSPUZE's esteemed CEO Sofia Petronelle, is a luxurious shopping plaza located right in the heart of Seoul. It is conviently located right next to the 6° Of Freedom Residence, and ISEUL-T Tower.

Something like that maybe

[lapis kindle]

-- but this is just visual stuff from a design standpoint

[lapis kindle]

i like it. just use Iseul-t in Sentence Case

6° Of Freedom Residence can be linked for its future page, same as Iseul-t Tower for that matter

[lone monolith]

Yeah

[heavy gale]

we can make them bigger, we just need to make sure we don't go too big of a width compared to the height, like if we did 700 width with only 350 height it would cause a lot of blank space like this

[lapis kindle]

ye, it adds bleed - gotcha

in that case, maybe we just need to adjust the scale for the Sections below Loadouts. so they don't look as big? just a thought

[heavy gale]

also fixed the easter egg picture even though it'll be changed soon probably as that was just a box of white space

[heavy gale]

yeah, we need like a sizing guide for stuff at some point

I do love those social banners though

and now they're in the middle, looks even better

[lapis kindle]

happy to work on that type of thing - just ping me if we need more

[shell mauve]

this made me think I am wasting my time hahaha

[lapis kindle]

wym?

😅

[shell mauve]

yeah its.. I didn't know there were that many sponsors already

never saw them added up like that

[heavy gale]

holy shit there's a lot of sponsors

[shell mauve]

was gonna jokingly suggest a new sponsor..

but secretly put in effort

[lapis kindle]

tbf i've been keeping track of them because lore

[heavy gale]

[lapis kindle]

and i've also vectorized their logos for my videos so

[lone monolith]

About to rename you to Lorekeeper | SPEAR

[heavy gale]

noice, so got a load of SVGs?

[lapis kindle]

ye i just uploaded the .pngs in the meantime

but will upload .svgs when they get pages/more info

[lone monolith]

Want me to go ahead and work on the Seoul page for you SPEAR?

[lapis kindle]

sure, i mean you already created it. just need to add that type of lore info

[heavy gale]

I've spent most the time looking at the wiki today instead of actually doing my real work

joys of Friday having nothing on I guess

[shell mauve]

thats why I do small bits each day

[lapis kindle]

same

🤝

[lone monolith]

The Plaza and apartment complex are both 5 stories tall right?

[lapis kindle]

i think? i haven't done my architectural analysis on them

[lone monolith]

[heavy gale]

I'm just waiting for a person to recreate all the maps into a 3D map image like people do with tarkov

[lone monolith]

Do we have any idea what the hospital is called?

[lapis kindle]

this is great

[lapis kindle]

we can do the same for Monaco

later on

[lone monolith]

I'm asking if the team has any names for these places so we can continue filling it out

[lapis kindle]

Seoul is easier 'cuz the buildings have names

[lone monolith]

The probably with Monaco is there's really only... 3? places of any note to list of. Church, Construction Yard, Courtyard?

[shell mauve]

fixed it

[lapis kindle]

ye, there's also that one Cashout station near the coastline

but it isn't a POI per se

[shell mauve]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Our_Lady_Immaculate

[stiff dove]

that's a very cool addition

[heavy gale]

only thing I can find for the hospital is

[shell mauve]

and authentic ;D showing its a real location ❤️

[manic reef]

criminally underused location

[shell mauve]

Ha you clearlyt haven't teamed up with me

[lone monolith]

I feel bad that this is kinda all I got for Monaco

[lapis kindle]

tbf we're currently not playing the game - so it's hard to write about aspects of it from memory or footage

[lone monolith]

We might want to come together and agree on what to call some of the environmental things

What do we call the pre-place jump-pads? Launch pads?

[lapis kindle]

Launch Pads works for me

[stiff dove]

Base jumps?

Base pads?

or arena pads, idk xd

[lone monolith]

I think launch pads are probably the better descriptor for it

[stiff dove]

yeah probably

base jumps makes no sense

[heavy gale]

launch pads is good

[final token]

Mega Jump Environment Launchers

[heavy gale]

Jumpy Bois

[shell mauve]

okay, I re-added the wiki reference

[lone monolith]

I mean we can put in the page for the catherdal what it's inspired by but I want to use the name of the church in game, not whatever it's based off of

[shell mauve]

what is the name of the church in the game?

[lone monolith]

We don't know, that's why I just labeled it Catherdal until we know for sure

[shell mauve]

I highly doubt that they made up a different name for a game that identifies the arenas as iconic locations

[real stirrup]

I think I got a shot of the Mendeleev statue in a game. Dang, that’s gonna be hard to find.

[lone monolith]

[real stirrup]

You know he’s on the Monaco map?

[lone monolith]

I did not

[real stirrup]

In the parkland

Just his head

Duhmeister actually pointed him out to me, I think

[heavy gale]

now I remembered why I wanted TemplateStylesExtender, sadly only for 1.39+ apparently , luckily we don't need it, just would have been for convince of adding css vars

[real stirrup]

Has Dusty come back to you yet?

If not, dm me what you need and I can ask her

[heavy gale]

It all got installed apart from TemplateStylesExtender

for obvious reasons now (incompatible with our version of MW)

[real stirrup]

Oh, ok, great!

[heavy gale]

I'm just getting infoboxes sorted on my VPS so I can understand how the fuck they work correctly before I get you or Kyne to import a fuck load of templates and modules

[final token]

Did we confirm that was him?

I got a clean screenshot but I’m away for a week and pc is off

It did look like this iirc

Just the bust

[real stirrup]

It looked like him to me

[final token]

Yeah it’s the first thing I thought

[heavy gale]

mostly got info boxes working, just need to find what we could add to it to make it seem full and also sort out the styling

[shell mauve]

mag size and fire rate maybe?

problem is.. thats probably gonna change before the next time we get to play..

but then again so might the damage

[supple nimbus]

Yea... but it can be later changed after release, so it's not a huge problem

[heavy gale]

It's quite easy to change the values tbf

[supple nimbus]

Rather keep what's witnessed

than waiting till be witnessed new changes and add it up

[shell mauve]

ALL HAIL THE WITNESSING!

Anyway

anyone wanna give me some pointers on the strengths and weaknesses of the LH1 in the final few days (post nerf)

[heavy gale]

High mag count with high damage also quite fast ROF

Can destroy at long range, medium range and short range

[shell mauve]

we need weaknesses haha

[heavy gale]

No full auto

Requires decentish aim

[shell mauve]

yeah but thats.. like saying the sniper's weakness is that its not full auto xD

[heavy gale]

[shell mauve]

didnt they decimate the mag count?

[heavy gale]

to like 15

[shell mauve]

or that the knife is bad long range

[manic reef]

Knife face damage 🤣

[heavy gale]

the LH1 doesn't really have any weaknesses from what I could tell whenever I used it

[manic reef]

The recoil tho

[shell mauve]

ok so I'll just note down its not great at having conversations.

[heavy gale]

[shell mauve]

"it won't cook you dinner"

"not useful at folding laundry"

[manic reef]

Lh1 not have as much rizz as the other weapon

[shell mauve]

give me 5 minutes and then check the LH1 page mkay?

I'll make it good

[lone monolith]

I would say it suffers from inaccuracy at close range, and high recoil.

[manic reef]

Sounds about right

[shell mauve]

ok I did it

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/LH1

[lone monolith]

[manic reef]

What exactly is the LH1 based off of

[heavy gale]

"When equipping this weapon you risk all your relationships just to get a cheap kill" amazing

[heavy gale]

M1A I think

[shell mauve]

M1 garand

[heavy gale]

that is the best description ever for a weapon

[manic reef]

WHAT THE HELL HAHAHAHA

[shell mauve]

ok I made a more serious version

its one that we'll likely change a few times but okay

[heavy gale]

when we get an image on the LH1 page, we need to make the alt-text the 1st description just to see if anyone notices

[shell mauve]

I can do it now

done

please check the log too xD https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/LH1

[heavy gale]

[heavy gale]

this one too

[shell mauve]

Hahahaha

apparently I have already made over 100 additions.

[heavy gale]

jesus

[lone monolith]

Povich has gone feral

Someone grab a LH1 we need to put him down

[shell mauve]

Haha

ok while the gadgets aren't done yet I akm taking an opportunity to troll ad friend.

[lone monolith]

I can see how many actions everyone has done

[heavy gale]

who's the top 5?

[lone monolith]

Me, Povich, Spear, You, Scuttlecrab

[heavy gale]

ayyy top 5, nice

[shell mauve]

tbf

tbf

I did some stuff without being logged in apparently haha

[heavy gale]

that is true

doesn't look too bad tbf

[lone monolith]

Looks good

Can you control the colors of the infobox?

I can give you the right color code if so

[heavy gale]

yeah, it's all done in http://vps-7a93429a.vps.ovh.net/mediawiki/index.php/Template:Infobox/Styles.css

[lone monolith]

Here's the hex codes if you wanna mess around with it

[heavy gale]

I would like to thank wikipedia and starcitizen wiki for allowing me to fuck with their Infobox modules/templates

[lone monolith]

[shell mauve]

I suggest we use the yellow for the accent so we get it represented a littl too and the wepaons have the yellow text so its more fitting

[lone monolith]

^^^^

[heavy gale]

how about something like this http://vps-7a93429a.vps.ovh.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

[lapis kindle]

i would keep it as simple as dark background, highlighted yellow Titles, neutral white line divisor

[lone monolith]

I would do the yellow line divisor

Since we're eventually going to get matching colors

[sweet locust]

Good morning gamers

[heavy gale]

still 11pm for me

with yellow

or with like a subtle grey

[sweet locust]

It's 3 pm for me but I just woke up

Yellow

[heavy gale]

I might completely change the format though tbf and make it like

so it's more like a list

[shell mauve]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Assassin's_Dagger

temporary image

hope you approve @crisp marlin

[sweet locust]

cheese

[heavy gale]

[real stirrup]

You could add the background story for the osthyvel in here

I'll grab the copy for it

[shell mauve]

sure

[real stirrup]

Rob Runesson in interview with RHB, March 2023: "A couple of weeks before the Closed Beta I was visiting an old friend. During dinner he told me a story about how dangerous a simple “osthyvel” (a traditional Swedish cheese slicer) can actually be… It was a hilarious story and I sent a text to Theodor (artist) and Oskar (animator) to suggest that it could be a weapon. Just two days later it was in the game.! For authenticity, they also scanned a chunk of cheese and then added the amazing slice taunt. The cheese is a Swedish traditional Prästost, you should try it when you visit Sweden, hehe."

[shell mauve]

done.

[knotty rune]

I think we should refer to RHB as "RockhoundBlack" on the wiki, as some new people don't recognise him by just "RHB"

[shell mauve]

meh, if Rockhound wants that.. I kinda like the humbleness

[knotty rune]

It's also good form, in general, to not use abbreviations without explaining them 😛

[shell mauve]

I'll let him decide 😉

[real stirrup]

Oh yeah, soz - RockhoundBlack please

I wrote that without thinking

In my own notes I use RHB because stoopid long name

[knotty rune]

You need to set a macro to write your own name 😂

[real stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-a-great-idea-perfect-brilliant-good-idea-good-thinking-gif-14954450

In the middle of a firefight - "I was going to melee him with mouse button 7, but instead I wrote my name for him"

[shell mauve]

done Chief

also added a good caption 🙂

[real stirrup]

no capital H for Hound

[shell mauve]

wait.. needs to be slicing.

fixed it

woops

now i fixed it

[supple nimbus]

I like the cheese actually reacts with environment which bounces off the walls and floor. I would imagine people seeing them slicing lol

Impressive details ngl

[lapis kindle]

yellow looks good

[shell mauve]

yeah, unfortunately nobody but you can see tyhe animation

[heavy gale]

there we go, looks better http://vps-7a93429a.vps.ovh.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

[shell mauve]

thats hot

[heavy gale]

ignore the completely inaccurate damage

[shell mauve]

doesn't matter

[heavy gale]

once it's all finished and done, the code for adding it to a page is just

| name                            = V9S
| image                           = V9S.png
| image_upright                   = 0.5
| class                           = Light
| wtype                           = Pistol
| bdamage                         = 32
| hdamage                         = 40
| magsize                         = 20
}}```

• a few more fields once I decide what else needs adding

[shell mauve]

Who is Scuttlecrab btw.. xD

[heavy gale]

either Jag or GToast

[shell mauve]

ah

[shell mauve]

nice! 😮 so is the infobox extension active on the Finals wiki?

[heavy gale]

not yet

it's basically just templates and lua modules which is what we needed TemplateStyles and Scribunto for

which are active now

so it's basically just importing an xml file which contains all the pages required which admins can do like Kyne + Rockhound

[shell mauve]

ah

well

:x

[heavy gale]

I'll probably do a few more edits, see what else I can get going and then hopefully get the XML imported tomorrow and off we go

wonder if we can get the weapons rate of fire somehow

[shell mauve]

We just need to know who knows..

@formal latch sorry for pinging, thought asking someone else for a change.. who could help us with finding out weapon stats?

[formal latch]

not me ,)

[shell mauve]

... I know you aren't >.>

but who does haha xD

[formal latch]

we have weapons in the game? O.O i only use c4, what was the question again?

[shell mauve]

nvm, I'll just stick to coffee related questions henceforth.

[formal latch]

legmek might know!

[shell mauve]

thank you!.. I am going to bed, but we could consider doing that.. or better said.. @heavy gale your problem now 😄

[heavy gale]

I'll see what I can do

[shell mauve]

thanks dude 😉 I saw you were still online so I thought path of least resistance

[formal latch]

i am always online

[shell mauve]

too much coffee?

[formal latch]

sleep is nothing but caffeine withdrawal

[shell mauve]

Lol

[heavy gale]

caffeine addicts

https://tenor.com/view/coffee-too-much-coffee-caffeine-futurama-philip-fry-gif-3560733

[formal latch]

no worries mate ,)

[heavy gale]

@cyan holly Hi Legmek, sorry for the ping however are you able to find out weapon stats (damage, rate of fire, anything stats related) or do you know who would be able to provide them?

[stiff dove]

not me, i'm GToast :p

[heavy gale]

makes sense

[sweet locust]

you are not sorry

[lone monolith]

I'm thinking we should replace the sponsors tab with a WORLD tab

So it has the sponsors, misc corporations, detailed descriptions of the points of interest on each map, etc.

[shell mauve]

I don’t think I understand

It sounds cluttered

What would it look like?

[shell mauve]

And I do think we need to accept its weekend so don’t expect those stats coming in

Very. So Overwhel- no lol

can you try importing that xml

[lone monolith]

This the infobox?

[heavy gale]

templates relating to infobox + modules and everything that it relies on basically

it's like 20 different Templates and 10+ modules or something like that

[heavy gale]

it might complain about interwiki prefix which you can just set to [[wikipedia:]]

[lone monolith]

This good? Or should I change the prefix to [[infobox:]]

[sweet locust]

i added the LH1 skins to the wiki

[heavy gale]

that should be good

[lone monolith]

Alright

It's been uploaded

[heavy gale]

and it didn't break

phew

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/V9S

[lone monolith]

Sheeeeesssh

[sweet locust]

the red glow

[heavy gale]

yeah

I'm reducing it to see what it looks like

there we go, reduced

[lone monolith]

That's better

[heavy gale]

ignore the shit picture on top

[sweet locust]

i noticed povich has is in the center and idk to do it

those are bad screen shots hold on

[lone monolith]

Fixed it for you

[sweet locust]

how'd you do it?

[lone monolith]

You gotta put <div class="gun-slideshow"> before the slideshow in the source editor, that centers it.

[heavy gale]

and makes it a max-width of 1250 for consistency sake

[sweet locust]

i see thanks

[heavy gale]

I am surprised those infoboxes worked first try on the wiki

I was expecting something to break

[sweet locust]

it probably did

[heavy gale]

yeah, we'll see in the future

also good job with the LH1 pictures 🙂

if anyone wants to add an info box for weapons, "edit source" and then just put this on the top and change the values {{Infobox weapons | name = V9S | image = V9S_Standard_Issue.png | image_upright = 0.5 | class = Light | wtype = Pistol | bdamage = 32 | hdamage = 40 | magsize = 20 }}

[shell mauve]

oh yeah I didnt do it on purpose

I sometimes just yeet in the info

[lapis kindle]

i don’t think we need this tbh, considering much of the world building in the game is through the Sponsors – in any case, we can just wait it out a bit to see how the lore develops

[lone monolith]

[lapis kindle]

not a fan of outer-glows/drop-shadows with a white background. that’s usually for when you need it to pop from the background, which is not necessary here imo

(but this is just my bias as a designer)

[shell mauve]

yeah the glow is a little meh

it feels random haha

[lone monolith]

Think it'll be fine when we get the wiki styled but now it's just a bit... weird lol

[shell mauve]

well no I don't think that should be a style we want to pursuit 😉

it should be the gray/black + one accent color imho and no dropshadows or other effects haha

keep it simple

[lone monolith]

I think a dropshadow would be alright

Just a black one though

[shell mauve]

well thats on a dark background

its a very subtle effect

[lone monolith]

Well I think we're also going to go with a dark background

These most likely

[lapis kindle]

if you wanna go with a “style” just follow the Brand Guides

[shell mauve]

the brand guide doesn't really include wiki haha, but the game style has flat design if that helps

[heavy gale]

removed ze box shadow

also css for the infobox is here https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Template:Infobox/styles.css

[sweet locust]

Rip the shadows

[heavy gale]

also changed the image to make it actually look better xD

for the V9S

[sweet locust]

Bet

[dusty quail]

hehe, SC wiki does look good right

[shell mauve]

its made over a long period of time and with ALOT of people involved

personally not a fan of having to pay to get a lil digital magazine to extract images from lol

[dusty quail]

wdym, is it paid?

[shell mauve]

not the wiki but most of the images of easrly concepts etc are behind a paywall

or at least used to be

they might be a little nicer nowadays

[sweet locust]

It only took us banging our heads into our keyboards to make it work

[lone monolith]

I mean concept ship concept art is always released on the website aswell

I think just more is on the subscriber newsletter

[heavy gale]

https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen just steal their skin

[dusty quail]

wait

oh wow

that's really useful haha

nice of them to release it like that

[heavy gale]

yeah

[dusty quail]

^^ it's all modular so it's really just a list of pieces they used to make their site look like that

we can always use some of those too

[heavy gale]

so many components to it

[heavy gale]

as much as I do like the star cit skin, I think having the page a bit wider than it being only 30% for content would look better

[sweet locust]

what

alright i added all the skins for each gun and weapon kyne had pinned

[heavy gale]

sheesh, mans rolling

[sweet locust]

all going in order of rarity

and in the center

[heavy gale]

awesome, I'm gonna watch a movie and then should be back in about 2 hours to help out with anything

[sweet locust]

what movie

[heavy gale]

Murder mystery 2

[sweet locust]

interesting

[heavy gale]

pretty decent movie
