Malvodion Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The wiki has been dead for a pretty long time. While the last edition was on February 23, most articles haven't been updated since last year. If no one is planning to update it then you should probably make it so that atleast registered user can update it. I can't say I'll clean it up myself (I already have too many wikis under my care) but I could update the profiles of most characters in my free time. Also: The theme is kind of poopy. Maybe someone would want to toy with the theme designer and prettify it a bit? OPReN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAClock Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wikia changed the format of all wikis a couple of months ago so everything is kinda wider now at least on my screen. So far I don't think you can change it so I would have to adjust all the pages again. Also the theme was pretty op but once again, things must be formatted again so it's not my fault. That being said I could give you power to edit pages if you want but I locked a lot of stuff in the wiki due to trolls lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvodion Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Just In case: Sorry for the low activity but I've been busy with other things both IRL and on other sites (Like the Smite Wiki. That game is coming out in 4 days, so I need to have everything "pretty" for that date.). As soon as I get free time, I'll keep updating the AoS wiki (I need a lot of free time because I need to make one match for every character and play for around 20 minutes with each so that I can see the cooldowns/how much mana each ability costs at each level, since that info is not included in the "Learn" tooltip.)

Grantypoo Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 You probably know this, but if not, type -hero shadow, or -hero jakk, or -hero micro (-hero and then any name of a hero) in a solo player game, or in test mode with multiple people (gotten to by typing -tm) and you can become that hero. So you dont need to make a new game every time you want to try a new hero. And then -level 18 and you should be good to go. Hope that helps save some time.

NotAClock Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Used to be that Red and EKCO had an excel spreadsheet with all that info but the last version I got and used was really outdated and hard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxHaven Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 You forgot a player info page Name: PRINCE Clan: UFAM Job: Asian supreme lordship dictator of TUF Lives in Brazil, and sells his body to keep paying people to stay in TUF.

SayMyName Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 If You want to update wiki tooltips of heroes i advice to wait till end of tournament. Cause many heroes will be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvodion Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Finally got some time to start updating the Wiki (this will take a while to do, since all descriptions got changed with the latest update), starting with Egon.Stetmann's page. While I was doing that, I noticed something: Proton Pack is currently classified as Target Point when it should be Target Unit.

RedHydra Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Good eye. I'll update the tooltip when I get the chance. The next update (1 new hero) should go live this coming Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next update (1 new hero) should go live this coming Thursday. Oh, a new version so soon? I guess I'll wait a bit more, until that one goes out, before updating the rest of the heroes (Meanwhile, I'll start cleaning the pages to make them consistent with eachother.). While we wait, to make some progress, It'd be nice if someone granted me the permissons to edit templates. They realy need to be cleaned up, updated.. and I think a bit of color correction wouldn't be a bad idea either (flat saturated red/blue/green for backgrounds is kind of an eyesore, specially in things like the hero infoboxes since there is some colored texts that are kind of hard to read.) Edit: Also: Is it possible to get the latest icon images used for items and abilities (or just abilities)? Some of the ones used in the wiki are outdated, and others are cropped screenshots that don't fit with the rest. It can be png/tga/jpg or anything that I can convert to a different type. That would help a lot. Edited April 15, 2014 by Malvodion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogwarts Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The game changes a lot. Its kinda hard to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvodion Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) The game changes a lot. Its kinda hard to keep up. Every AoS/MOBA game ever changes a lot with every update, but someone has to keep up with it. I've already had to deal with a lot of MOBAs wikis, Two of them for the same game (long story, but I ended up being admin of two "rival" wikis, and updating them in different ways to keep them "unique"/so that no one says one is ripping the other off.). And I still keep them all up to date to this day. One more won't make much of a difference to me. Edit: I ended up deciding to update Greelus.Humankind's page and noticed that his Q's (Irradiate) description says "Enemies within 3u of the target also takes True Damage." When it should be either "take" or "Any Enemy within". His E's (Silencer Drone) says "Deploy cloacked Silencer Drones that follows the target for 4s." when it should be "follow". His "Passive" Active (Bionavigate) says "Deploys a beacon at your location for 25 seconds." when it should be "25s", like all other descriptions. Edit2: Is irradiate supposed to be able to target massive units? Also, is it supposed to go from costing 60/70 mana at rank 1&2 to 90/100 at rank 3 and 4?

NotAClock Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm pretty sure you can edit templates since you have all access. As for the icons well I asked Red and EKCO about them when I first made the wiki and they were the ones that told me to screenshot those icons cause they didn't want to help but if you can find those icons in the editor you can turn them into png files.

Weird, it wouldn't let me edit it before. And that's a shame, if they supported the wiki it'd bring more attention to the map, and it would also keep other players interested. I can't take screenshots of the icons because my resolution is kinda low (plus I run the game in low settings because my pc isn't that good either), and I can't take screenshots of SC2 without going into windowed mode which makes them look even smaller. I highly doubt the map isn't protected, but I guess it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAClock Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 The icons are in the editor but I don't know what they are called in the actual editor so I can't find them and convert them into png. If you can get EKCO or Red to tell you it is possible. Some of them are also re-used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvodion Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks all of those editors of AoS Wikia who spent their limited life time to update the pages and to provide information for new comers. Well, currently I'm the only one updating the wiki (though that's mostly because most pages are protected and can only be edited by administrators/janitors), but I'm hoping that there will be more activity at some point (once I'm done updating, I'll see if I can get the wiki open for editing to all users.. with me observing everything and intervening when it's needed ofcourse.). Anyhow, I just finished retouching the hero infobox (the box on the right side of the screen with the hero's info & picture) and the ability boxes. Do you like them? Would you want to see anything changed/added/removed? (This question is for anyone who reads this, after all I'm trying to make the wiki the best it can possibly be for everyone, not me.) http://aeonofstorms.wikia.com/wiki/Egon.Stetmann http://aeonofstorms.wikia.com/wiki/Greelus.Humankind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Did you do this? http://aeonofstorms..../wiki/Blue_Gene I loled at the description and similar items. I'm sorry that your effort isn't getting enough attention. Hopefully, when the wiki page is more updated/complete it could advertised on the in game loading screen.
