Proposals

Dear Visitor, if you have some time, the wiki gladly offers you some options:

General/Ongoing

1. Help clear the Maintenance Reports for unused/broken/wanted items!
2. Check out and verify Did you know?#Unverified claims
3. Look for pages that need help and report them here (e.g. unreadable color scheme, missing info)

Specific

Site interface

1. Read through the site interface strings and see if anything could be changed to benefit the site.

File upload/editing

1. 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)
2. The pics for Template:Cove unique buildings are a different size from all the other towns' unique buildings. Edit them to match.
3. Upload missing cursor pictures (Page: Cursors)
4. 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)
5. The high-level map pictures for each campaign scenario (on the screen where you select the level bonus before the cinematic plays).

Page Creation/Updating

1. Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it.
2. Breath Attack could use a diagram of how it works (specifically when attacking straight up or down)
   • I found this, but I have no idea the accuracy or completeness. --Legate (talk) 03:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
     • 
3. Obstacle Penalty could use a diagram on how it works. Is it everything inside the ring wall? Does obstacle penalty disappear when the wall goes down?
4. Map Editor could use a bunch more info.
5. Most HotA campaign pages need work:
   • Devil Sunrise
   • Prisoner of Doom
   • Evenmorn
   • The Shores of Hell
   • The Freedom of the Nix
   • In Search of the Horn
   • Treachery
   • Frontier
   • Heart of Water
   • Horn of the Abyss (campaign scenario)
   • All Hands on Board!
6. Alright, the new scenario template (Template:Scenario) is sweet. Let's update all the scenarios to it!
   1. Start from List_of_maps_(HotA)

• Status:

• RoE - done --Legate (talk) 01:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
• AB - done --69.11.93.194 21:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
• SoD - done --69.11.93.194 04:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
• HotA - done --69.11.93.194 04:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

• Great job on these! --Legate (talk) 21:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

7. For Template:Scenario: Make templates to support bonus section (See bonus section of template for examples):
1. Creature bonus (e.g. {{Crbon|Royal Griffin|6}} if the bonus is 6 Royal Griffins)
   • That new text overlay for the player numbers is great. Can you modify the creature bonus template to overlay the # of creatures you get?
2. Artifact bonus
3. Building bonus
4. Hero bonus
5. Resource bonus
   • Done...but has an alignment problem. --Legate (talk) 16:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
   • I changed it a bit. But I can't get rid of the border on the resources. If there was no border it wouldn't appear so out of line with the others I think. –imahero 21:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
   • Just remove the "border: 1px solid #{{Blue 2b}};" from the table style at the top. I originally added the border to make it close to what you see in game, but I don't really have a pref. --Legate (talk) 21:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
   • Not that border. The white one around the gold/sulfur/etc. –imahero 22:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
   • I guess it was a caching issue because your suggested change actually fixed it (this time). –imahero 04:33, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
   • Haha I was going to suggest that! Caching seems to be a frequent thorn in the side around here. --Legate (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
   • My only concern with no border is that some campaign levels offer several different resources as a single reward. Not sure how that will look. --Legate (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
6. Primary Skills {{BonusPri|Defense|3}}
   • Want to add your overlay magic here too? --Legate (talk) 16:59, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
7. Secondary Skills {{BonusSec|Sorcery|Advanced}}
8. Check if these items can be displayed using these templates:
   • First Aid Tent (i.e. war machines): {{BonusCr|Ballista}}
   • Prayer spell scroll (i.e. specific spells on scrolls)
   • Heroes from a certain scenario (e.g. Steadwick's Fall)
   • Random Hero
   • Creatures appearing at a certain location (e.g.Steadwick's Liberation)
   • Certain level of Mage Guild: {{BonusB|Dungeon|Mage Guild level 2}}
     • NOTE: Needs works: See Template talk:BonusB
