Bootypedia (aka the wiki)

Helmeted tactical armor is still in the mod, as an alternate use of tactical armor. So it is not an item per say, but when you have a tactical armor in your stores, you can equip a gal with either the helmeted or bare-headed version. Pretty cool mechanic!

[Dioxine]

Also:  I noticed Ghoul unlocks STR_Helmet (Per Imeryak's research viewer).  Wouldn't it make more sense for the Highwayman to unlock the helmet?

STR_HELMET actually means "helmet with enviro protections". Enviro protections on Highwayman's helmet are as follows:
- Machined steel armored shell on a well-worked leather webbing;
- Heavy-duty plastic shades;
- Old rag wrapped around the face.

Thats... amazing!   I love that mechanic, that it allows you to use both.  I can't really wrap my head around how that works. >.<  Leave it to Dioxine to figure out how to make voodoo like that.

[Dioxine]

That's simple, you tie 2 or more armors to 1 'store item', or STR_NONE if you want unlimited supply We have to thank devs for that

Ugh, perfectionism is getting to me.

Not sure how I want to list units now:

Alphabetically, descending order of "rank" (Low levels are on left, increasing "strength"/rank to the right) or how they are listed in the Bootypedia in-game. (For instance, Humanist Activist is listed last, but should be first considering "low" rank and/or alphabetical order.)

I get stuck on dumb stuff.

[ivandogovich]

Alphabetical is a solid choice because its not subjective.   However, I think by "rank" or at least threat level is an excellent way to approach it if you can pull it off.

[Arthanor]

Ah! A brother in "getting stuck for stupid reasons and overthinking stuff"

I'd say by rank/importance. Although it's the most difficult to implement, it is also the most useful (higher rank = better interrogation and ransom). Actually, you could probably get that by looking at the ransom assigned to them. That scales directly with how important their faction/Dioxine think those are.

The uptime and connection issues with UFOpaedia lately has been insane.

So much for updating for now.

Not just me?? cool. I haven't been able to get on for the past 1.5 hours. >.<

I think ordering them by ransom value is a pretty good idea Activist is last in the in-game Pedia just because he's their allied troop, not core troop, a 'chaos cultist' of sorts (and he allows to field some govt units as well )

@Dioxine:  Can you help me understand the "Human" faction a bit?? By this I mean the random humans: Fatman, Human Laborers, etc.  Are they random with say traders and govt types, ?  Are they hostiles normally, or innocent civ bystanders?

If they spawn with various factions, like I guess they might, then I believe it might be worthwhile to add a faction page for them as well.

[Dioxine]

They're hostiles when you meet them, but they don't form any 'faction' per se, and you get negative points for killing them (live capture is always worth +10 points, I think?).

Perhaps under Governments; or perhaps "Civilians" minor faction with "Friendlies" - aka Human / Lamia / Brute / Hybrid & then "Hostiles" - the aggressive civilians that you listed.

Human Citizen's minor factions added:

and
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Template:MinorFactionsNavBar_%28Piratez%29


I have also tweaked the stat boxes too for the units.  https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Ratman_%28Piratez%29
is the current example.  What is the concensus on the templates?  If they seem good, I'll move them out of my sandbox and work on a few of the factions (bandits & academy are first on my list).

[Arthanor]

Looks pretty good.

Have you tried a 4 columns table with titles per columns? The first two columns would be as you have them (with titles Stats and Parameters, respectively, or just Stats above the two), then Resists as a column, and Recovery. It seems odd to have some info in columns, and then some info in rows.

Also, I'd put melee accuracy below throwing, not at the bottom (to have all accuracies together, and also I think that's how it's presented in game).
