== Vision for H3CSS sidebar colors ==
Hi Phasma - What is your vision for colors on the various sidebars? Do you want to keep a similar color scheme to what we have in the non-H3CSS or use something like the darker leather for headers? Turnam figured out how to add transparency to the assigned colors (those 2 extra hex digits)...maybe we want to use something like that? Happy to help implement whatever your vision is. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 21:35, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
* I think that so long as text is legible, I'm fine with whatever. I'll always prefer no colours in sidebars personally, so I don't really have a say in this! Darker leather cutting straight into normal leather would look odd, so perhaps using borders with colour #e7ce8c may work? But I know you've got things colour-coded so we can just stick with that. Might have to change some text colours to black/white here and there but that's okay! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 21:48, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
** I could be convinced on no colors as well...all the color work I did was just to standardize what we already had.
** I wonder - Could you giver H3CSS tables a default header color of something like style="background-color:#00000060!important;"? This just makes them slightly darker than the regular leather to show that they are header rows. Might be better than manually changing all the tables. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 22:04, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
*** Done! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 22:26, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
* I think where I have landed is preserving the color for the primary header, then letting the rest use the default leather setting. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 23:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
** Sounds reasonable and sensible to me! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 00:02, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
* Is there a good way to set different settings for normal vs H3CSS (something like our swh template)? AFAIK, the !important tag makes the setting actually show in H3CSS as opposed to using the default, but can't be used to have different settings. This was ok enough when we had the default table headings being a little darker, I am just now looking for how to do that without overwriting the "normal" look. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 13:58, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

== Layout advice for Hero Template? ==
Hi Phasma! For [[Template:Hero]], I'd like to remove the last bit of body text and instead display the town pic/words/whatever somewhere in the main hero left-side panel. Do you have any thoughts about the best place/way to include that? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 14:26, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
* How so? Something similar to the proof of concept images I made? [[Image:WRPOCS Hero vC2C.png|100px]] Or something else? [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 20:23, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
** Nah, just some simple stopgap idea. The left-panel template currently includes some body text along the lines of "xxx is a Castle hero". I was thinking if we put the town pic somewhere, we could remove the body text. Just asking for your opinion or where/how to include it (in the current template) since you have an eye for these things. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 21:19, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
*** Oh I see; I think it can just be removed entirely, since there is always the heroes template on the right which lists the other heroes in the faction along with the two classes, and it still has the faction name above it (though I also removed that in my proof of concept images). [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 23:08, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
*** Yeah - you are right - good point! --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 16:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== DoR - unusual links ==

Grotto links to Halfling / Halfling Grenadier. There's also a link to a Neutral Creature list. Are these placeholders waiting for some official information? Do you need help finding / describing some data for the DoR? [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]])
* Where is it linking to Halflings? I checked the page which is a redirect to the Cove building, and nothing on the DoR sandbox page links to them either. [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Halfling_and_Halfling_Grenadier]] doesn't show anything too. Also we don't have any more info on DoR just yet - I ask FirePaladin every now and then but I think the team is hard at work for now!

* Ahh that's all placeholder stuff for now. It's only on sandbox pages so it's all due to change once we know more about DoR so we can at least make the appropriate pages, but we don't know anything other than what we've documented plus a VERY little amount more that we haven't put on here yet (like making the Forge page purely to say that it's in DoR and Cyber Zombies will be a thing or mentioning Valkyries in DoR). If you want to add any info or change things around then I would say to go for it but we don't have any information to change things to just yet!

==darkModeShadowFix==
I didn't like the appearance of shadows while using dark reader, so I added a css media query to the MediaWiki:Common.css. It only turns on if your systemwide device setting is set to dark mode (in my testing it only switched when I changed the setting in my OS, not my browser). What do you think? –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 01:01, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
<syntaxhighlight lang=html><span class='darkModeShadowFix'>[[File:Abandoned Mine 4.gif]]</span></syntaxhighlight>
<span class='darkModeShadowFix'>[[File:Abandoned Mine 4.gif]]</span>

*Looks fine to me for now! I think it's a decent stopgap until every image's shadow is converted to transparent black (.WEBP supports this for animation, .GIF does not) [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 03:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
**If you tell me what command to run with ffmpeg or imagemagick or whatever other program to convert our gif files to this webp format with transparent black, I will run it and also run other commands to batch replace all the current usages of the .gif version with the new .webp version. If necessary I could also probably do a more complex operation using the PIL library from python to replace individual pixels. Would you mind uploading an example webp for me to inspect so I can figure out what exactly it is I might need to do? –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 03:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
*** [[File:Pikeman.webp]] slight issue now - I can render out as webp animation, I can see it when I drag it into my browser to view it, I can upload it here and open it in a new tab to view it, but it won't natively display here or on discord. I think I'm missing something or messing something up... [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 12:47, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
****I think it might just be a discord/mediawiki issue. Maybe we need a new extension or something. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 00:13, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Lololol. Seriously, Phasma, you have been doing a great job getting the campaign pages fleshed out! And the Timeline. And the Main page.  You rock. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 03:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations and kudos to you for also being on the ball with your optimisations, templates, and contributions in general!

== Deus Ex Machina Heroes ==
* Hi Phasma. Some of the heroes on [[Deus Ex Machina]] look suspect:
** There are 2 Ysedore listed.
** 'lust' looks like he might be missing the first few letters of his name?
*** I've amended the duplicate hero, and no, "Iust" is his name. Remember you can also easily double check these things yourself now with the campaign & map editor! If you think something is wrong, you can check and amend it yourself! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 20:02, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
*** I think I am behind the times on this...how do I get access to the factory campaign files? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 00:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
**** Use the Campaign Editor, click "Edit", click "Scenario Properties", then export each map. [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 01:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
*** I sent you the json files on discord if that's what you're after. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 00:49, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Do you have any idea how close the factory expansion is to being released? [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 21:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

: No idea whatsoever, I can only hope it's sometime this year... I can only rip and repurpose so many files and screenshots to fill the void of the new content we currently lack :(( [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=special:contributions/phasma|→ Phasma]] 17:52, 04 February 2023 (UTC)

== Hero Class ==
created placeholders for factory heroes' primary stats. u can replace it with ur data in case u are already sure its solid enough.

talking about ur recent image work - im afraid we have a problem with a global unmarked hota intrusion here. our basic version is sod and the presence of any hota fixes should be visible right in the file name or at least in a file category. i consider the mere idea of having m/f heroes distinction in the hero class templates by no means good, i uploaded these guys [[:Category:Hero_class_(adventure_map)]] [[:Category:Hero_class_(adventure_map)_HotA]] exactly for that, but was waiting for factory release ever since. but the sod info still should go first, so all this should be realized via 'switch' template or something. --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 10:51, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
: Ahh I see, perhaps I'll have to give it a go with a switch template then, to switch between default SoD graphics and the edited template I made to include the HotA graphics. And thank you for your help with the placeholders since I couldn't get the code to reference them! I think it's an issue with the class pages for the Factory heroes but I have no idea since I copied the code from the Cove's Captain class page --[[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=special:contributions/phasma|→ Phasma]] 15:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
