Bootypedia (aka the wiki)

Thanks Solarius.

Ok, got all the armors uploaded.  These are pretty amazing.  I barely scratched the surface when I was playing my campaign. XD

With my weekend schedule, I probably won't get much else done until Monday.

Looks beautiful.

And yeah, lotta depth to Piratez... just hidden deep!

[DracoGriffin]

Man, ivan, it's crazy how good things look with all the images you've uploaded.

It's one thing to see how things will look (in your head with the mock tables) but those NavBars are slick.

I gotta start picking this back up to bring it up to date.

Okay, I've been working on the factions quite a bit.   I have images up for all the major factions.

Meridian's LP made me curious about the faction that he encountered.  I've dug into the ruleset a bit and added some new entries for the individual enemies.

Draco, have you developed a template for these types of pages?  Do you have suggestions for better formatting?  (These are just really down and dirty).  i.e. Image on the left, or some type of stat box there?  I haven't compared with other wikis on these guys.

I'd like to get some of the detailed stats in too, ie exact armor values, enemy stats, etc. but I also want to be cautious how much is exposed without spoiling.

New Faction Banner too.

Spoiler:

Yeah, I have a plan for those pages; they will essentially have *everything*. Direct articles are gonna be super spoilery.

I just have to devise a way to make it readable without being just a huge wall of text and aesthetically pleasing.

Most likely inventory sprite image top right, bootypedia top left to top center, unit statbox on right under inventory sprite image (with captureable/hostage price), common weapons list, research tree (what's required to research [if any], what does researching this unlock, etc), collapsed ruleset raw data (so if players want to mod or do their own ruleset exploring).

Not sure what else yet.

Maybe you should mass-replace lorem ipsum for humanlike enemies with 'WS3 BS3 S3 T3"

And the banners... Ivan, I have no words - they're AWESOME!!!

LOL.  I thought they were kinda cheesy, but thanks!

Um... what is :  "'WS3 BS3 S3 T3"  ?? 

I see you (Dioxine) added it to the Highway man page, but I can't figure out what it means.

Weapon Skill: 3
Ballistic Skill: 3
Strength: 3
Toughness: 3

It's a way for the initiated to convey "normal human soldier" as those are the stats of a normal human in Warhammer/Warhammer 40k

[DracoGriffin]

Lorem ipsum is just a way to have placeholder text without writing placeholder

[ivandogovich]

   Wow.  I really did just upload an image for every faction enemy.  All the minors have a faction banner.  Majors will probably have to wait for a banner tomorrow.

Everything goes really quick once the template is in place (like how you matched the uploaded files to the filenames I made up on the page, so you can upload without having to edit anything [well maybe sizes to adjust proportions]). Cool huh?

The hard part IMHO was making the banners, so thank you! It's look so pretty!

[ivandogovich]

The last major faction banner is in place.



I'll look around for any more locations needing images.   

Any other thoughts on what to tackle next?  Unit Stats, etc?

Inv Pics for Star Gods (silver) and Star God Guardian (Red)

[ivandogovich]

Woot! Thanks!  Did you need a copy of the standard Ethereal? (transparent back?)

[Dioxine]

Yeah found it somewhere in my archives.

[ivandogovich]

Is there a match up with

Guardian
Operative
Coordinator?
