$Heroname

Heya. Currently, any circumstance in which the hero or villain's name is mentioned, the majority of us use the template {{Character}}. If you're currently going around checking contacts, could you use that instead of $Heroname? Thanks! Sera404 23:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Oh. Right. Thanks I'll get onto that. Same with the gossip I've been recording. Been using $Villainname since forever. Noted for future reference :) - Skarmory The PG 17:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

SomethingVal and if/then statements

• {{ResVal}}
• {{DefVal}}
• {{PosVal}}
• {{ProtVal}}

If these are going to be used as prolifically as I believe you intend, I'm concerned about the shear number of if/then statements in the wikimarkup. This isn't compiled code, this isn't even scripting php, instead this is a wiki extension that is using if/then statements in the wiki proccessing dohicky.

Getting into the technical details of the dohicky will be important, and I wish I knew what they were. See Template_talk:DefVal and http://paragonforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1118

DO NOT let my concern stop you from finishing the {{ProtVal}} template. --Konoko 00:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

• Concerns noted and considered viable. I'll do ProtVal as soon as I can figure out the colors for it, frankly. - Baalus Seth 01:07, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Made a navigation template for you:

with some suggestions for a clearer naming scheme. Feel free to change them in the navbox. -- Agge (talk) 01:32, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Hmm.... Let's try this one for size. - Baalus Seth 01:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Status colors

Hmm. I need colors for the status effects. Let me see what we got:

Protection

Hold

Immobilize

Stun

Sleep

Knockback

Confuse

Terrorize (which for I much prefer the name of Fear)

Repel

Teleport

Resistance

Hold

Immobilize

Stun

Sleep

Confuse

Terrorize

Placate

Taunt

Let me think some about the colors... - Baalus Seth 19:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

• What I'd like to have is that every status effect has the color of a set that is best known for it. My thoughts so far..

Stun - Martial Arts / Energy Melee Red

Knockback - Energy Blast Blue

Confuse - Mind Control Pink or Illusion Control Purple or Plant Control Green

Fear - Dark Miasma Black

Repel - Force Field Teal

Teleport - Gravity Control Aqua or Teleportation Tan

Taunt - Presence Purple

This still leaves me without Hold, Sleep, Placate (Ninjitsu Dark Purple?) and Immobilize (Devices Gray?). Ideas? - Baalus Seth 19:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Quick perusal of Virtue Help brings up Soul Storm (for awesome looking), Dominate (for speed and overal goodness) and Ice Block (for visibility) -- Baalus Seth 19:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

More from Help: Hold - Ice; Immob - Plant; Sleep - Mind; Confuse - Illusion; - Baalus Seth 19:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Did you say Enhancement Colors? --Konoko
