    Monster Pages



    Good news everyone!

    I shoved all of our monster pages through a time machine. Although they were very reluctant, most came out alive with little to no missing limbs (read: bits of information). Interestingly, they all look very similar now. I'm sure some causalities were sustained, but let's not talk about that..

    And so we leave the days of monster pages formatted in five different manners without images or pertinent links.

    Examples:

    Tax'et
    Wild Rabbit
    Nightmare Sabotender


    On a serious note, some things about the adversaries template:
    • It's still undergoing work.
    • There are noticeably many more fields than there were previously. We did our best to present as much information as possible without obscuring what is normally looked for on a monster page. However, this is still up for revision I suppose.
    • If an image name is specified, it will be used, otherwise it will look for the image of the monster family, followed by the image of the page name. This was done to clean up some very questionable image choices that were being defaulted to. Of course, now we have things like this going on: http://bg-wiki.com/bg/Arch_Dynamis_Lord
    • If I really fucked something up, my apologies. I did my best to transfer all previous information into the new fields. If you notice something really off, you can either go to the page's history and add what was hacked off yourself, or just post about it here or something.
    • The template will format a lot of things for you. For example, the detection field will auto-image up to 6 (do you need more?) methods if you separate by comma. You could also just do it yourself, {{Sight}}, {{Sound}}, {{Magic}}, etc. but where's the fun in that? This keeps things looking both uniform and pretty.
    • If you notice a page that hasn't been templated, please don't bring it to my attention because I already did 5000 of them. However, if you first notify Ragns that we need images to display upon hovering over an item link, I'd be happy to help.
    • We're not yet certain if we want to re-use the template from the new bestiary pages for abilities, or make a separate one for unique mobs. It's probably safe to just use the same one, though, as that allows for copy/paste.

    Nightmare Sabotender getting ready for a chest bump.

    Template's great btw, the auto-formatting thing actually surprised me after I typed true sound under aggro on one of the monster pages.
