Monster template

Also, can you apply that monster type icon logic to armor types too? I can rename them to ArmorType(NAME).png if that works better for you. Currently the Monster Type icons all have paths with Type(Name).png, but most notably TypeHuman2.png obviously need to be changed. I'll move it to ArmorTypeHuman.png upon your confirmation.

Also I noticed that the Monster pages are not in the Monsters category. Can you automatically add that via the infobox template too? Thanks~

The infobox template displays the type images now. For armor type (including Human) it will display ArmorType(Type).png, so feel free to move them.

As for monster category, I don't think this is necessary? Since all monsters have a type and all type categories are sub-categories of Category:Monsters, adding the category on the monster pages themselves seems redundant.

Now that you've mentioned it, the I don't think the dungeon pages should be in Category:Dungeons either, since they're already in an area dungeon category (e.g. Category:Abnova Dungeons) which are subcategories of Category:Dungeons...

I dunno, Category-wise it's already like that, and it's kind of unclear how Everspace want me to do it. But I see what you're saying.

Thanks for the images. I'll move it soon~

Are you going to have a separate template for APCs? Because I don't think the current Infobox monster has any APC functionalities.

Also, I think the green used for Named mobs is too bright. Unless you feel the previous one was not good. I myself prefer the previous one, so if you also agree, you can probably take a look at FormatMonster Icon+Name ForceSpecial for the green they use.

What do you need for APCs, just class? I can add that to the template.

I'll adjust the color!

Gardios (talk)

Oh, I forgot to mention, image now defaults to {{PAGENAME}}.png if nothing is set.

The thing with APC in the FormatMonster Data template is that: a) Name is in some grey color text b) automatically categorized as Automated Player Character family without filling in family field c) has class field d) was differentiated using the IsAPC field

So IsAPC can obviously be substituted with ur class= field on Spawns, but the automatically categorize as APC part will need some work on your part. Easy way is to just add an IsAPC field with y or n, probably.

The name color should just be a conditional check as with your other monster classes (boss, named, etc).

But yea the class can just be a field you add.

JunEcho (talk)

That is actually not a problem. Font color and category can be done by setting the class parameter only.

Before I change that, do you remember if there are any named monsters that can also appear without the green nametag ingame (excluding boss encounters)? If there aren't any, I'll move the named classification from the Spawns template over to the Infobox template.

I can think of at least one instance: Poison Yaksha. But then again, maybe she's not even considered as a Named mob, cuz there's no instance where she DOES appear with the green name tag.

There are many instances where Bosses can be Named or not named at all, but for a Named mob to be displayed as not named, I can't think of any cases aside from Poison Yaksha, which we may just need to classify as normal to begin with. Because just because they have a special name doesn't mean they are Named mobs (such as Aquarius, Flame Hulk, etc, although those are now Bosses due to Forgotten Forest).

Perhaps we can also add a class=friendly, for mobs that can be fought as enemies but can also be friendly, like Baby Ice Dragon. The text color would be that light-ish blue; try to match the in-game one XD

Okay, I've removed the "named" classification from the Spawns template and moved it over to the infobox template. I don't know which dungeon's you've done so far, but those have to be changed.

In the Spawns template, you can set "class" to "ally" and it will display the monster in blue. Monster will then also show up as allies on the monster page in the Appearances section.

In the Monster Infobox template, by specifying "class", it will display that the monster is an APC and will add the monster to the Automated Player Character family without having to set it in the family property.

All right, I've changed the named stuff in all the Abnova dungeons.
