Talk:Furniture
From SpiralKnights
Should we separate furniture by active?
Should we separate active furniture(beds, chairs, etc.) into their own tables? Either that or maybe specifying what it does when you use action in front of it. --AutoFire 20:33, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
Price sorting seems to be broken?
It goes through four different sortings, two of which are correct. --NekoSniper 13:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)More furniture?
It would be cool if there was these furniture pieces:
Crown Crate: 'It's filled with a large cache of crowns! Good way to store your treasury in' An open crate filled with crowns. It also has a function - it opens the treasury, and allows you to deposit up to 1000 crowns in, even if you aren't in the guild! Should cost 22,640 crowns and be available when a 2F wing is bought.
NPC Knight: 'Recruit a Knight who stays in your Guild Hall and does precisely what you want!' A customisable NPC Knight who can do several things - walk around set parts of the Guild Hall, go on one of your chairs or beds and more! Can also be customised with a set amount of costumes, depending on the wing you are on. 1F - +0 and 1 star gear 2F - +2 and 3 star gear 3F - +4 and 5 star gear NPC Knights should cost 36,120 crowns and be available when any wing on 1F is purchased.
Display Case: 'A small glass case that can have a single material inside.' Can be placed on modular tables as well as the ground, and you can put a single material inside. The material inside will be shown in a 3D way. Should cost 9,980 crowns and be always available.
Derelict Mecha Knight: 'A Mecha Knight that appears to have been shut down. Some derelict Mecha Knights like this one cannot be reactivated, but make good furnishings!' A model of a derelict Mecha Knight. It has no function. It should cost 18,640 crowns and require any 2F wing.
Sword in the Stone: 'Bringing the legends of King Arthur to your guild hall, anyone who manages to get the sword out of the stone will gain heavy riches!' A Leviathan Blade stuck into a rock. The function of it is that anyone in the guild can try to take the sword out of the stone. How this works is on a randomizer - and it's a one in a hundred chance. A guild member who manages to get it out will add a Leviathan Blade to every member's inventory, and add 250,000 crowns to the Treasury. The furniture piece will also be removed. Costs 268,400 Crowns and both 4F wings.

- These are some great ideas! But wiki discussion pages aren't really the place for this sort of thing. Try making a post in the Suggestions Forum instead! (Late reply!) -Novaster 16:04, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Overhaul
A bunch of new furniture items came out, and the list was very out of date. I've been editing it for a while before this post (forgot to put a note in "page discussion" haha). I've designed a series of templates and linking behaviors that should get people where they need to go. If someone can make an all-encompassing template that allows what the current pile of templates does, go for it. The table is organized in the page via Date of Release (roughly), and can be sorted by name/group/type for people to find what they want easily. The list is one giant list, so if people can be like "I wanna know all the kinds of plants there are!" they can see ALL the different kinds of plants in all the different groups (winterfest trees, birdsong potted plants, and so on) via column sorting - not too much hassle. -Novaster 22:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- One thing to note, "Snipes" don't follow the page+linking pattern of other furniture types, in that they are from so many different groups, depending on their colors. And not all colors are from specific groups either - take the Green kind for example. So they just have their own page - "Snipes" instead of a group page, like "Birdsong Emporium." Let's just hope other furniture types don't start acting like/are released like this, or we'll have to get gritty with the organization again.
- Been going through and fixing some internal links and redirects. These were done with haste as part of the large project, so the best options weren't used - "doodad" is an example. Instead of using unofficial (slang) terms as anchor links, I'm going through and using more direct terminology. This makes long-term terminology changes easier as the player community evolves. It makes the coding look clunky, but on the page itself is very smooth. -Novaster 22:29, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Terminology
Some things, like "doodad" are used unofficially to help understand what an item is. A lot of other games use doodad, I'm particularly fond of the Starcraft Gen 1/Broodwar Map Editor's usage of the term "doodad." These furniture items are not classified as such in-game. Other terms are changed, like "pile" instead of "clutter" - clutter is seen in the game files.
Also, anyone think that the page for "Almire Furniture" should be "Almirian Furniture"? Apocrea vs. Apocrean...something to bother your mind about.

Updating the list so that it matches the format of other lists around the wiki (example images in the second column instead of the end column, autofit list width to browser windows of many sizes, have crucial information at top of the page and ever expanding list on the bottom, etc.) --Novaster 18:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Now, going to organize all this furniture into pages in a way that is consistent with the rest of the wiki. While organizing by Group on individual pages works for now, it might not in the future (highly likely not), and it is horribly inconsistent with the rest of the wiki as it is now. Big project, big change, not extremely necessary but needs to be fixed. Forum discussion here. --Novaster 19:12, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
