To Do

  • Update switch to use ima's new option in the top right corner of the wiki.
    • This will not be useful for this page at all since there will be 4 menu screens that need their own separate buttons (switches) to change the menu that will be shown, and I think it is best to have them all shown like in my proof of concept so users are able to freely switch between them with little confusion. → Phasma 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Would it be possible to ALSO have a switch option on the main page? It may make it easier for people to find the option. --Legate (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
      • See above point. → Phasma 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Add links/bottom text from current Main page
    • Evaluate whether we have the right links down bottom
  • Incorporate Csaros' images to go with the links?
    • I don't think there should be any more images or links on the main page since it is visual clutter and I don't think anyone is going to want to directly navigate to anything important that isn't already in the menus I have outlined. → Phasma 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Would this make this screen too busy? Should we just leave the text? --Legate (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Add towns w/ icons off to the right.
    • This will be done with an image map to prevent the need to code a table. → Phasma 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Thoughts

  • Maybe move the button column a little further to the right? Center it in the negative space in that page of the background? --Legate (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Maybe consider switching the magic arrow animation to a magic arrow spell scroll? May be more recognizable? --Legate (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
  • For the Campaign menu, the button pics are cool, but a little off-putting as they are never seen in game (except Frederick). Maybe instead use an upscaled version of the normal expansion icons? --Legate (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Questions

  • What are you planning on doing with that 2nd "Main Page" down bottom?
    • Temporary because I need a template like in my proof of concepts that will allow for buttons to remain on screen at all times and change the main menu upon being clicked. This is just the code for that other menus, separate for the first one, since the current switch template only allows for 2 sets of data and I haven't figured out how to code a new one for 4 sets of data yet. → Phasma 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
