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)
  4. Use template:unk "{{unk}}" to mark text we need to fill in. That way all the unknown text will link to that template!

Factory

  1. Clear out Special:WantedFiles
    • Great job with all the file uploads, imahero! --Legate (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
    • It looks as if assets that should be animated gifs are uploaded as a png with all the frames next to each other (e.g. File:Avgarma.png). Is there an easy/automatic way to convert these to gifs?
    • Here is an archive with all the images extracted using MMArchive. MMArchive doesn't have the same limitations as FreeHeroes so you should be able to find everything there. –imahero 23:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
    • I'll leave the spellcasting to you, Phasma. Mine doesn't have the same timing as all of yours. --Legate (talk) 03:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
    • You can see what Phasma used by opening his up in the ezgif.com maker. Probably the same for all. –imahero 05:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
  2. Fill in all missing text linked to template:unk
  3. Go through all campaign scenario heroes (see Template:Campaign hero table)
  4. Add probability of occurrence of spells in Factory's Mage Guild
  5. Update Movement with movement give/take/set/replenish/nullify event information
  6. Draw Factory's square-based build tree
  7. Add Factory puzzle map section to Obelisk
  8. Add factory heroes to Adventure map hero sprites (may just need to rename files/convert to gifs).
  9. Add images of Factory dwellings for unit pages and External dwellings table (HotA), and images of Factory creatures on the adventure map.
    • Possibly redo the Visiting scheme images for Factory dwellings. They're slightly lower quality than the other images on the page, although it's hard to tell. MurlocAggroB (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
  10. Add all Forged in Fire campaign scenario map info/events.

Specific

Community Requests

  1. 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)
    • I've noticed there are a bunch of strategy/tips on https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Tunnels_of_Ice. Should/Can we cite/copy that info here or leave a link to them?
      • The CC BY-SA seems like a very open license. I would just add attribution using the appropriate link (to the edit summary)
  2. Factory's alignment will be switching to Good. Consider swapping the town matrix to Good/Neutral/Evil columns (User talk:46.138.188.145 aka Kastore (former HotA team member))

Research/Explain game concepts

  1. 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)
      • This may be affected by Mechanics and Engineers as these are the first 1-tile creatures with a breath attack.
        • ANECDOTE: I did notice a...bug? nuance?...with attacker's Engineers attacking in the down-left direction vs. a 2-tile enemy not hitting the expected second tile. --Legate (talk) 16:11, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
          • Actually, this is related to the pic just above. In the pic, top row, second from the left, I expected there to be a 2nd red arrow going in the down-left direction. The diagram does not have one, which matched the in-game behavior I saw. --Legate (talk) 15:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
  2. 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?

Content: Page Creation/Updating

  1. Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it. Candidates:
    • Phasma / Makiki
    • I won't have time to make a mockup before the new year, but what if we used one of the blank main menu screens from Category:Loading Screens, Box Art, Menus (e.g. File:AB Mutare.png) and added our own icons (e.g. Creatures, Spells, etc.) over on the right? --Legate (talk) 14:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
      • If anyone like this idea, feel free to take it and run with it.
      • Nice mock-ups on discord, Phasma.
  2. Map Editor could use a bunch more info or link to a map editor tutorial.
  3. Create a Campaign Editor page.
  4. Single scenarios: Add all the timed/object events like seen on the campaign scenarios.
    • I know this is a huge task. Figured I would just put it here for if we run out of other stuff to do in the future :) --Legate (talk) 15:42, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Probably want to figure out a way to automatically export/convert text into the form we want.
  5. Add right-click text to campaign maps in HC, HotA campaigns (except for Forged in Fire).
    • Is there a way to copy-paste this from somewhere and not type it all in manually? --Legate (talk) 19:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but are you sure it isn't in the json files generated by FreeHeroes? –imahero 19:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
    • It is there under "regionText" in case anyone with the tool already installed wants to add them :) --Legate (talk) 03:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

File upload/editing

  1. Add the campaign map pictures for each campaign scenario (on the screen where you select the level bonus before the cinematic plays). (Page: e.g. Groundbreaking)
    • Looking for (with the current level colored in and previous levels covered in slashes), not (base pic with nothing colored in)
      • HotA now has an official campaign editor, so you can make screenshots there.--Archer (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Status: roe, ab, sod, hc, hota
