Revision as of 02:32, 19 December 2023
General/Ongoing
- Help clear the Maintenance Reports for unused/broken/wanted items!
- Check out and verify Did you know?#Unverified claims
- Look for pages that need help and report them here (e.g. unreadable color scheme, missing info)
Specific
Site interface
- Read through the site interface strings and see if anything could be changed to benefit the site.
File upload/editing
- Upload pictures of all town creature dwellings
and town unique buildings. (Page: e.g. Template: Tower creature dwellings)- Fortress creature dwellings currently exist (with the exception of the Wyvern Nest)
- The pics for Template:Cove unique buildings are a different size from all the other towns' unique buildings. Edit them to match.
- The remaining wanted pages are actually missing map files.
- What is the best way to get map files? Open up the editor and screenshot/crop? Find them somewhere online? --Legate (talk) 20:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know how Phasma was doing it but I just make screenshots in the map editor and then realign them all after. When I did that last big one I had to use cheat engine to change the zoom so that I could do it with fewer screenshots. And yes it's entirely possible there's an easier way. Possibly make use of heroesmaps.org/heroes3mapscan. –imahero 21:22, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I do just that: turn off all animations in map editor, take multiple screenshots, delete the unnecessary areas, align them in GIMP, save an original copy, and finally create a small copy for uploading here. I'm doing them over time since they take a while, and I've done all the small and medium maps so far. I'll do some more before the year ends too :) 12:47, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- The high-level map pictures for each campaign scenario (on the screen where you select the level bonus before the cinematic plays).
- Do we have the actual maps of each of the campaign levels too? Getting close to a working Campaign Scenario template and these are showing up blank. --Legate (talk) 04:14, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- We only have a handful of the regular ones left, so we can move on to that next I suppose. –imahero 05:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Content: Page Creation/Updating
- Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it. Candidates:
- Breath Attack could use a diagram of how it works (specifically when attacking straight up or down)
- Obstacle Penalty could use a diagram or explanation of how it works. Is it everything inside the ring wall? Does obstacle penalty disappear when the wall goes down?
- Map Editor could use a bunch more info or link to a map editor tutorial.
- Most HotA campaign pages are mostly empty:
- Time to add Template:Scenario to all the campaign scenarios!
- Examples:
- Filled in page: Homecoming
- Possible parameter values: Template: ScenarioVars table
- Instructions:
- Copy this to the campaign scenario:
- Examples:
{{scenario | scenario = {{PAGENAME}} | description = xxx | underground = | num_play = | size = | source = | victory = | loss = | allies = | enemies = | difficulty = xxx | bonus = | carry = | max_lvl = | Cmap = }}
- Copy these details from the scenario page and remove their previous sections:
- Scenario Description
- read the description to figure out carry= and max_lvl=
- Allies/Enemies (Colors section)
- NOTE: Also fill in numplay= (usually, <sum of colors>/1)
- Bonuses
- Copy these details from the campaign page this scenario is a part of:
- Victory condition
- Loss condition
- Size
- NOTE: A '+' means there IS an underworld (e.g. L+ means size Large with an underworld)
- Difficulty must be looked up in-game.
- NOTE: If not filled in, just leave the 'xxx' for difficulty or the bonuses will not appear.
- We'll fill in the campaign map and right-click text as part of a second pass.
- Go Team!

Community Requests
- Write tips on campaign scenario pages (212.112.111.20)
- Sometimes there are tips on the main campaign pages under User Commentary. (e.g. Dragon's Blood)
