renderstr lacks color

It's a little unintuitive, but renderstr also requires ColorString concatenated before the RenderString to properly color the char. Is it better if I just add a new colorstr value to the template? Teamtoto (talk) 14:37, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

• I have added colorstr to the template, so just set it to ColorString. Teamtoto (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

wiki image naming conventions do not follow in game image names

In game the same sprites are used for different objects but look the same because of ingame shaders that can change the base color and the detail color. See: On the Origins and Nature of the Dark Calculus and Across Moghra'yi, Vol. I: The Sunderlies that use the same sw_book2.png but are different colors due to their ColorString.

That function is unable to be replicated in the wiki(for now), so current wiki image naming conventions are their display name with all lowercase and the color codes and punctuation removed. There are still some sprites with unconventional naming styles that are not their page title due to being reused for multiple items (see: File:Across moghrayi.png). I currently have no idea how to deal with this issue, but in the meantime excluding these corner cases, changing image names in the template to the display title with all lower case, no color codes, no punctuation should fit properly into the wiki.

new values for template item

just a reminder that:

• chargeperdram is a new attribute and should be used for liquid cells.
• charge is renamed to chargeuse
• wornon is a list that is separated by , and is based on the WornOn attribute. dont use wikilinks
• usesslots is a list that is separated by , and is based on the UsesSlots attribute. dont use wikilinks

will edit this section if I add more. Teamtoto (talk) 17:55, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
