Template talk:Weapon

Simple, Greensteel, Epics
Would only work for normal weapons, greensteel and epics have a higher dice Neouni 06:24, March 28, 2011 (EDT)


 * My next planned step is to add another switch on the end something like   or maybe  (1d 20/2x)}}  or perhaps since there may be more than two options in the future    ShoeMaker 12:37, April 3, 2011 (EDT)


 * Maybe a simple override like  , when a 3th argument is used, it changes the dice you never know what crazy weapons the developers will get up with 3d7 or something ? Neouni 12:56, April 3, 2011 (EDT)


 * After doing some research it appears that Epic items change 1d(Sides) to 2d(Sides) UNLESS weapon is 2d(Sides) to start with, then it becomes 2d(2*Sides).. Greensteel on the other hand has no set formula it seems some 1d10 items become 2d8 and 2d4 on others becomes 2d6 and 2d6 becomes 3d6 on yet others...     seems to be the best bet and I am working on implementing it at this time.. :)  ShoeMaker 13:30, April 3, 2011 (EDT)

Capitalization
(weapon type) is case sensitive as well? hmm... how do we handle capitalization with this template? --yoko5000 12:15, April 2, 2011 (EDT)


 * If I am understanding your question... It should be taken care of by using  }}  From inside out = weAPon becomes weapon with  {{lc:  feature which then becomes Weapon with  {{ucfirst:  feature. ShoeMaker 12:37, April 3, 2011 (EDT)

Epic items are a plague..
There are some cases where there are more than one unique item that have more than one set of damage stats per type of an item.
 * Kukri
 * 1d4 + Slash, Magic   18-20 / x2
 * Epic Green Blade
 * 2d4 + Slash, Magic   18-20 / x2
 * Epic Midnight Greetings


 * Quarterstaff
 * 1d6 + Bludgeon, Magic   19-20 / x2
 * Epic Staff of Arcane Power
 * 2d6 + Bludgeon, Magic   19-20 / x2
 * Epic Staff of Nat Gann
 * Epic Souleater
 * Epic Tinder
 * Epic Staff of Inner Sight


 * Greatsword
 * 2d8 + Slash, Magic   19-20 / x2
 * Epic Whirlwind
 * 5d6 + Slash, Adamantine, Magic   18-20 / x3
 * Epic Sword of Shadow

How should I deal with these?
 * Should I use...
 * |(Item class) =
 * |(Item class) =

I fixed your link.. I was baffled at first until I thought to myself that there must be something else there I couldn't see.. Then I found you were trying to link to a Category.. The wiki system doesn't like that as much so it requires an extra : in front of the word Category in the link..  Category:The Taken reward items  vs.  . To address your concern, I think I have already corrected the problem that seemed to stem from User:Taurolyon's use of   instead of   when he added

Usage
 

You may also Link the text, as well as has the tooltip popup.  original content   to Template:Long_popup.


 * common problem with wiki's, the spelling for that tag seems to be different for certain wiki's.
 * I think some fix it by accepting both, but I have never looked too deep in the php of the wiki's
 * It's still used wrongly throughout this wiki in old code, but on places where it's totally useless Neouni 22:02, April 29, 2011 (EDT)

Broken
lots of pages that use this template is broken now, what the f... heck is going on? --yoko5000 08:33, May 8, 2011 (EDT)


 * Can you link a couple of examples yoko5000? May have just been the modification to the long popup template I was trying to make...  It failed at this point, but I have made something similar work in another place, so I will revisit after some rest..  If that is the case, It should be fine right now.. I reverted all of my edits to that template until I can get the math/logic figured out..  So tired I forgot my sig...  ShoeMaker 08:51, May 8, 2011 (EDT)
