Thanks a lot for all of your work, I will be getting consumables page up eventually. It takes time to do things when playing and have school too.

I was wondering where you are getting all of the images from, do you have the directory tree where I can locate them? I grabbed the ones I did off of the forums that were there for avatars, but was going to have to resort to screen shots + cropping for the rest which I wasn't too keen on. --Danxor 14:27, 18 November 2010 (CST)

If you need any extensions installed please contact me I am the wiki admin - Zoycite 16:54, 18 November 2010 (CST)

I saw the problem, I was going to get around to it in a bit. I think for the item images the icons would be best, I know you did the other images but if I add the images to the equipment pages, such as main hand, the page will get very long due to the images being more vertical than wide. --Danxor 19:16, 19 November 2010 (CST)

I went ahead and merged the Ship and Item templates, I knew I was going to do that, just hadn't gotten around to it. It was starting to make various templates a pain to manage. As for the item images, I do like the idea of the bigger picture on the actual item pages. The icons would be good for the list pages, I can make them refer to a icon image and have the need image link up on them whenever you are ready to put in icons. Also the Grey Sian Tags image is messed up. --Danxor 11:23, 20 November 2010 (CST)

I updated the templates for icons on the individual item pages, you can use that to upload them now if you like. --Danxor 21:14, 22 November 2010 (CST)

Utilities can be resized I think, the crew/ships/officers use unique row templates I can make them shrink the bigger images just fine.

NM, found issue --Danxor 02:58, 23 November 2010 (CST)

extension

I do not think there is an extension for that I think it is a Special page in the wiki MediaWiki:Welcomecreation, i can edit this wikipedia has something like this for theirs....

I have created a group for you and placed you in it called FileAdmin, you should be able to move pages in the File name space now.

New Items

Nope I am getting them from just playing the game, I tried to datamine them but when you log in the game only downloads to your client the items you have at least 1 of so I can't even do that.

taking a break

After being the only one working on this wiki for a while, i'm getting burnt out - taking a break for a while, feel free to leave a message and i'll check in sometime - Lorak990 10:43, 31 January 2011 (CST)

Danxor got banned from LotS so we quit playing.

Crackin' the Whip

whipsh [my whip sound]

Alright Lorak, lets get this info updated. I'll be the grunt and add the info as long as you upload the pics and mess with the template stuff. I could probably do the templates as well if you'd like to walk me through it a couple times.

Are you officially back to playing LoTS now? And am curious as tho who "WE' is?

To Do list:

• Image: Shock Trooper Helmet
• Image: Ace' Flashhearts Journal
• Image: Rascally Rabbit
• Image: Sian Battle Standard
• Image: Squeedlyspooch
• Image: Las Kweep Bull
• Image: Pas Kweep Bull

• Update the crew & officer Av Atk column with the new formula. <-- I did this one. ^_^ Yay! I figured it out. :P

Re-Vamping

The new colors look good but I think a tad bit darker background would make the pages look sharper. The individual Item pages could get switched from the black background over to the darker gray to make the site look more uniformed. I can do this if you ok it.

• Tab systems for the Equipping Your Dome Team page and the Equipment pages. Whats your opinions? Either hit me up on facebook or leave me your thoughts on my talk page.

http://zoywiki.com/index.php/User:Ripley/Sandbox <-- Let me know

Imaging

Commemorative Pistol - Dome Rank List [sized oddly] - image replaced Hellfire Gun - Dome Rank List [sized oddly] - image replaced Space Hunter’s Armor - Image Error Harlequin’s Pants - Image Error Pioneer Ship - done

Pics in the Tab Expeditions lists are sized oddly.. might just be a code error. - sizing issue

Updating

LOL, I know i missed some raid linkings on the the items. I was going to add them as I updated each raid loot table. That way I could kinda keep track of which table still needed to be done. Made since to me at the time but I can just update it now. --Ripley 22:58, 21 March 2011 (CDT)

admin rights

You have been extremely dedicated to the LoTS section. Welcome to full administrator rights. All I ask is you leave user rights management alone thanks. Zoycite

temporary hiatus

seems i've earned a temp ban from lots, probably no updates from me for a week ish, or perm, seems giving pre-release info that you can get from the client data files is a tos violation...silly me for trying to be helpful or posting anything on the official forums.

what a bunch of jerks. I guess that is why I also no longer play their game. Zoycite

admin stuffs

Seems there is a new spam bot out there. Please help me delete any images and articles they create plus ban their accounts indefinitely until I can come up with a more permanent solution. They appear to be coming from data centers so if we keep a record of the IPs I can block the whole IP range on the server firewall. Maybe keep a record on Spammer IP List ? The main issue is that if we are not vigilant at dealing with the spam more spam bots are likely to find it and be a pain. Zoycite

new setting

I turned on a setting in the wiki software that only lets accounts of a certain age create pages. I set the lock out time to 2 hours. Legitimate users should not be inconvenienced very much by this as most users are editing existing articles versus creating new ones. I don't like it much, because adding pages is important for some templates such as Quests in EQ/Juggernaut. Though some of the extension alternatives I do not like presently, don't want a php firewall. Blocking the data center on the server firewall where the spam requests originate generally will stop most of the spam. Spammers that are spamming with what ever product are trying things like phpmyadmin logins too which a mediawiki extension wont stop. good thing there isn't such a thing as phpmyadmin on the server hah. Zoycite

juggernaut?

did you start playing juggernaut with us? - Zoycite

yeah, probably just after you started the juggernaut section, and then lost track of it - will probably start adding content, unless you are dumping all the info via a bot? - Lorak990

go ahead and add/modify/delete what ever you think is needed. Items are done via wikibot, just put {{DONOTEDIT}} template on the item page if you edit it, bot will skip; i put it as last template on page. who is your character in game? - Zoycite

Seems my account got purged or something, and the password recovery system does nothing beyond stating "sent" may just have to start over. Lorak990

re: spam epidemic

i just moved so haven't had any internet except for phone for a week or so. I put the setting on confirm edit that forces recaptcha always. Will be removing anonymous editing if there are problems like that again. Zoycite

Juggernaut game

Hi I am one of the Polish Illuminator and I would like to know if I can help in the development zoywiki, and more precisely the Juggernaut? I already have experience in editing Wikipedia:)

my work

I am having to step down as wiki owner because of work. I made a post on the main page indicating the change. Basically work is requiring me to stop owning or administrating the site. Hopefully I can still provide content, because well Narwhals needs content :) zoy -- 10:56, 6 September 2011 (CDT)

zone 7

Yep, the devs love to make lots of work for us lol. I got half a day off of work thanks to thunderstorms (work outside) and decided to bounce over here to help out since converting all the dotd items to the new template gets a little monotonous. But yeah the setup here is definitely a lot easier for adding stuff than in DotD, it's nice how everything just grabs it all from the item page. Feathin 16:26, 29 September 2011 (CDT)

- Lorak, I think at zone 7 there is a couple of words that could change by your name and gender. Maybe you could check it and see if does change and put a sign. Is this a good idea?.

I remember seeing a post by the dev's on the forum's about this and I'm sure there is a player gender flag to change man/woman him/her when the lore text is displayed. beyond adding a note that "This may differ slightly from what you see in game based on the gender of your in game character." we can add a second lore but i think for maybe 10 entries is it worth having 2 copies? Lorak990 18:11, 12 October 2011 (CDT)

Maybe not, still should i make an account here?

Please do, it makes it a lot easier to keep track of any edits you make and conversations :) Lorak990

Well i'll do it, i still wish i could use my account from the DOTD wiki though. i also want to know how to do things like this Lorak990
