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)

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), click on the scenario names and paste this template into the scenario page:

{{scenario
| scenario       = {{PAGENAME}}
| description    = xxx
| num_play       = 3/2
| size           = M
| source         = roe
| victory        = def_all
| loss           = all
| allies         = 
| enemies        = 
}}

2. Transfer the info from the map list to the scenario page.
3. Copy the description from the original template on the scenario page before you delete it.

• NOTES:

• Any scenario pages with red text on them are not yet updated.
• I'm leaning towards doing allies/enemies as a second pass as that requires having the game open...
• Only about 250 left to do! Wooo!

• Status:

• RoE - done, except for allies/enemies --Legate (talk) 06:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
• AB - done, except for allies/enemies --Legate (talk) 20:29, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
• SoD - done, except for allies/enemies --Legate (talk) 21:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
• HotA - done, except for allies/enemies --Legate (talk) 21:50, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

7. For Template:Scenario:
1. Fix logic on when to show pics ('underground' name updated)
2. Add bonuses section to support campaign scenarios? (difficulty already exists)
   • This was in the original template before I had you delete it imahero... --Legate (talk) 22:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
3. Change to show all teams, not just ally/enemy? Could be helpful to find 3-ally maps.
