Projects

• I think I can manage to spend some hours a week here... I have to admit I missed it! :P

• I'll be working in two projects: Sacred 2 Quests and NPCs in Sacred 2 Fallen Angel.

• Current status is:
  • Quests: I feel like writing one here and another there...
  • NPCs: I keep adding new random NPC pages

Sacred 2 Places

Current status: Well... this looks like done, uh?! D:

Sacred 2 Quests

Current status: STOPPED

NPCs

Current status: Adding more and more NPCs to the wiki.

• Sacred 2 NPC pages not matching template layout:

Archaeologist's Sister (very similar though) Farmer Walcott Frustrated Archaeologist (very similar though) Hugard

Hunter Apprentice Tiraen Hunter Drogo Lohen Mage School Graduate Mayor Wilkes

Nimantus the Lumberjack Scout Jalenthil Thelendra Theodus Tim Nightowl

Tybosso Zamanar

• Sacred 2 NPC pages which should be somehow [i]special[/i]/moved/removed/whatever:
  • Ship Captain

Contributions Quick Guide

Contributing Quest Writeups

Template

• Use the quest template as a guide
• Take a look to a finished quest page and use it as reference

Content: Header

• For difficulty, use the following text to describe the difficulty stars: "1 star", "2 stars", "3 stars", "4 stars"
• For quest giver add the NPC link
• For location, specify place and region using links for both
• For next/previous quest, use the quest link or the "None" text if doesn't apply

Content: Quick Walkthrough

• Use list format this way:

* step 1

* step 2

* ...

* step N

Content: Detailed Walkthrough

• Describe the full quest with detail
• Use your writing skills to entertain the reader
• Add images to show where to go, who to talk or what to do
• Add screenshots of the dialogs

Content: Enemies

• Add templates of the main quest enemies
• Add links to other possible enemies as additional information

Content: Logbook

• Add logbook images! Always!
• If the logbook text is too long, as as many screenshots as needed
  • This should mean two screenshots, needing three of them would be strange
  • If more than three are needed, ask first in the forum!!

Content: Notes

• Write any notes here if there's any additional information to be mentioned

Categories

• Use the proper category tags that match your quest
  • General quests should be categorized as quests as well as side quests
  • Chain quests should be categorized only as chain quests
  • Individual quests in chain quests should be categorized only as quests
  • Class specific quests should be categorized only as class quests
  • Main campaign quests should be categorized either as light campaign quests or shadows campaign quests
  • Ice and blood quests should be categorized as ice and blood quests
  • CM quests should be categorized as community patch quests

Images

• Use frames according to the template
  • Single screenshots should be framed
  • Related map and tabmap screenshots should be framed toghether (see template!)
• Use 1280x1024 resolution if possible
  • Try to keep when possible the same aspect ratio
  • Do not use portrait clipping, will cause half of te page to be empty!
• Do NOT change the shown size specified in the quest template
  • You should remove the size tag only if the size is exactly the same
• You can clip your images down, but don't clip too much
  • 800x600 is ok for map and tabmap images
  • 1024x768 is ok for general camera images
  • dialogs must be clipped to their exact size (like this one)
• Images must be saved in JPG format (65-75% quality)
  • This can vary depending on the image, apply common sense
  • Images should not be bigger than 200 Kb
  • Images can be GIF for dialogs
  • GIF means max.256 colors: use it wisely!
