Talk:Accessory

These are all around for whoever wants to make a template for types of accessories. And a bunch of pictures. And I also think it's a good idea to have this page as a jump page to types of accessories, instead of individual pages for each color variation. Magnus 02:57, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Accessory images, data gathering and template

Data gathering is going on over at User talk:Vagueabond.

For accessory images, I'm guessing it depends on the accessory what screenshot angles are useful. Some will probably need front view and side view. Please do appropriately crop your image. When things are figured out more/found in game, I may take the time to do standardized screenshots using something known like simple proto gear.

Accessory pages should use Template:AccessoryInfo. The template also contains how you should name the images to keep with the image naming standard for all other equipment. We can figure out how to do the accessory pages when the images/information have been gathered. Likely just a gallery of all the types would be good. --Equinox 16:38, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Equinox, that sounds amazing (the standard screenshots).

The one thing I'm unsure of at the moment is which colour set should get to be in the infobox - do we want this to be uniform, or should it be spread out/assorted over all pages?

--Vagueabond 16:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd think that we could just pick the one that makes the accessory more obvious to see (best contrast or whatever)? --Equinox 17:01, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

The way I've set it up is so each color/type of the accessory gets its own section and infobox. Also, the template had a small error, it was Equipment-x-Equipped while all the other armor and weapon images were x-Equipped so I changed it for consistency. I also agree with the removal of the notes section from the template. ~Katmint 18:38, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

For the infobox, the "location" can go into the notes. That's also potentially a spot to put in notes about what kinds of helmets it works with. Sections sounds fine for now. I'm actually thinking a table would work the best in the long run because there isn't much info for each separate piece and a table would allow for having both the icon and the equipment image. --Equinox 18:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Equipment

We also need to collect information to figure out what "select" means when it comes to armor & helmets. Then we can figure out if it makes more sense to list the equipment that does or doesn't work with an accessory, as well as noting that information on the individual equipment pages. Probably just add a section to Vagueabond's data page. --Equinox 18:32, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
