Talk:Equipment slot

TODO

I'm not that experienced with image editing, but it might be handy to get a screen shot of the character slots in the inventory screen, label them, and put them on this article's page so people can see the various types of things they can work with when outfitting their characters. I'll try to do this tonight. Dedridd 09:54, February 10, 2006 (PST)

Added to article as a TODO - please use this feature in the future instead of talk pages, thanks. (post by Peerless - see his talk and contribs.) 10:30, February 10, 2006 (PST)

OK, will do. I had no idea there was such thing as a 'task' tag. Sweet! Dedridd 10:48, February 10, 2006 (PST)

Picture uploaded. However, the image won't show up. I noticed that the Bruku page no longer displays the picture, either. Did images stop working for some reason, or am I doing something wrong? Dedridd 21:12, February 10, 2006 (PST)

Not your error, mine. I'll fix as soon as I get a chance, which is not now. May have to wait a bit, sorry. Don't try to upload anything in the meantime. (post by Peerless - see his talk and contribs.) 21:51, February 10, 2006 (PST)

Don't stress over it, I'm not in a hurry. I'll polish it into shape whenever you get the chance to iron things out. I'm sure I can find something else to work on. :) Dedridd 08:45, February 11, 2006 (PST)

Image

The image on this page used to show up, but now it's broken. Can it be fixed, or will I be forced to upload another copy if I can find it? Dedridd 15:04, March 7, 2006 (EST)

Old images before the file symlinking and merger are loooong gone. Sorry )-: (post by Peerless - see his talk and contribs.)

Category

I put it in the items category, for lack of a better category to put it in. If any of you guys have a better idea, feel free to chime in. --Borror0 19:30, February 8, 2010 (EST)

Slot Numbering?

Is there something significant about how the slots are numbered on this page? Rings are #'s 7 & 15, Quiver is #16 but ammo is #3 - seems rather... random, to me, awkward and hard to follow, at least at first. I'd like to renumber them (txt and image, easy enough), but wanted to make sure there's nothing I'm not seeing that wants to keep the numbering "as is".

• I don't think there is. Maybe one of these:
  1. Start with 1 as eyewear and go clockwise, then 13-16 (L to R) for weapons/ammo, and 17+ for cosmetics
  2. Start with 1 as headwear and number left to right, top to bottom
  3. Start with 1 as eyewear and number left to right, top to bottom

  Thoughts? — Zav (T·C) 20:38, February 16, 2016 (EST)

• Mirrors my thoughts. I just didn't want to screw up like I did putting Enhancements into a "sensible order". ;) I'll give it while in case anyone else has input, no rush.C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email) 20:57, February 16, 2016 (EST)
• No, no, no, no... If you are going to redo it, don't number them at all. Indicate what is what using the icons, I'd also turn it into an imagemap with each slot being a link to an appropriate page/section about that slot. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email) 21:06, February 16, 2016 (EST)

Why no numbers? Strong visual aid. I LIKE the idea of an image map - can do. But which "the icons" are you referring to using? Grab some random item thumbs and fit? C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email) 21:15, February 16, 2016 (EST)

• I would say use the images here plus F:ArmorIcon Fullplate.jpg, F:WpnIcon BattleAxe01.jpg, and F:ShieldIcon HeavyIron.jpg. That should leave you with just icons for the cosmetics needed. — Zav (T·C) 01:59, February 17, 2016 (EST)
  • I don't really like the new numbering. If anything, it seems awkward on the top and bottom rows. I actually prefer the first version you uploaded better; it seems more natural. That all said, I do prefer the concept of numbers over icons, though I haven't seen a version that has icons yet. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email) 17:31, February 25, 2016 (EST)
    • I really dislike numbers... I will see if I can do the icon/imagemap version this weekend. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email) 17:39, February 25, 2016 (EST)

Outdated

The image on this page is old, it shows only 4 cosmetics instead of 5. I do not know how to upload a new image or incorporate mouseovers like the current image has. Any advice? ⇒ John6273 (Contribs • Message • Email) 10:26, February 24, 2025 (EST)

• Thanks for mentioning it. PurpleSerpent asked about it in the Wiki's Discord chat server and is going to give it a shot updating it, and I'll help him as needed. I'm semi-retired from DDO at the moment as RL things take up most of my time, but we'll get it updated.  👟 ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) 👟 12:51, February 24, 2025 (EST)
  • I'll need to wait for Lamannia to open again so I can get an updated image of an empty inventory, but I should be able to update it fairly soon after that. ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 12:53, February 24, 2025 (EST)
    • I already have one, but I just do not know how to upload it. ⇒ John6273 (Contribs • Message • Email) 17:46, February 24, 2025 (EST)
      • Ah! In that case, there is a link on the left-hand menu that says "Upload file"; this links to the tool that allows you to upload images. ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 02:49, February 25, 2025 (EST)
        • I have uploaded the file "Equipment_Slot.png" but cannot figure out how to link it. Sorry for the questions, am learning as I go. ⇒ John6273 (Contribs • Message • Email) 15:19, February 25, 2025 (EST)
          • Great, thank you. The image map is embedded on a subpage called Equipment slot/imagemap; I've updated the page to link to your image and adjusted the map accordingly. ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 03:08, February 26, 2025 (EST)
        • The best way to upload a new version of an image is to go to the image page, for example Media:Equipment slots.png, and click the Upload a new version of this file link under the table at the bottom of the File history section of the page. I've gone and moved Media:Equipment Slot.png to Media:Equipment slots.png with a History merge to fix the file name per our File naming policy. Thanks for your work, both of you!
