0/3 Eye of the North sets.
There are actually 4 :) -- Lann 21:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Rong. Dwarven aint a set. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 21:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Exactly. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * But it is. --[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 21:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Not according to the armor Monument. And they aren't named thesame. So, nah. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 21:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Norn Para armor has 4 peices and no head peice.--[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 21:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * And the monuments have been broken ever since they only allowed destroyer weps in wep monument.--[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 21:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * A lot of armors dont have a special headpiece... And the armor Monument ain't broken. It's just shit cause you can't choose wich armors to display (7 Elite armors ftw, much? )--- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 21:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * My point is Dwarven sin armor has 4 peices, as do alot of other professions. The monuments are just crap atm. --[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 22:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Dwarven armor has 4 pieces which are named differently, and in most (especially the sin female) cases, don't even remotely match each other's design, so they are NOT A SET, they're a collection of armor pieces craftable from the same NPC, that is all. Half of the professions don't even have Dwarven gloves.  Warrior is the only professions that has 4 armor sets in EOTN.  Nobody said it is fair or makes a whole lot of sense, but that's how it is.  End of discussion.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 23:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

PAGENAME
The is intended for occasions where at the time of writing you don't know what the page will be. Most often this is when you are writing a template that needs to change depending on where it is included. To be writing in a place where it will always be the same name means to a) incur a slight server overhead, b) make the page slightly harder to comprehend, and c) encounter totally unexpected results when transcluding that page. If you want to use PAGENAME in a place that is meant to serve as a source for copy & paste operations, you can  because that will be converted by the wiki as soon as the editor saves the page.

I am a bit sensitive to this subject because I have been working on the monster pages, and I've seen people use the BeastInfo template with "name=" which makes absolutely no sense because PAGENAME is the default if you drop the name= altogether, and it just means problems for me when I try to automatically parse those pages. --◄mendel► 21:33, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok... O_o Well, I've always done it on armor pages, and they never get transcluded anywhere else, so it was never a problem in that regard. Plus, in the particular case that I edited today that probably made you write this comment, it was simply ensuring that you get the Ascalon Male/Female galleries transcluded into the main Ascalon armor page (which only a crazy person would try to transclude into something else), etc. so it was actually a good choice.  I'm crazy about universal copy-pasteable code. :P  The subst:PAGENAME is nifty, though. :D  I think that should be used quite a bit in templates and guides instead of the regular PAGENAME or a paragraph-long "name this so-and-so" instruction.  I've just never seen it before. :P  Cool beanz.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 23:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * IDK if its still an issue but I think if you arrive at the page from a redirect, it used to be that PAGENAME had the name of the page you were redirected from. IIRC it was a problem when we were moving all the armor articles last year because of the name changes. In any case, its definitely better to use the absolute name for the armor pages. I tend to change them as I come across them myself. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 03:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Dwarven armor project
I am currently working on improving all the Dwarven armor pages, all the way down to the individual pieces. This includes crafting tables, more standardized formatting, and properly renaming images. If I miss something, please correct it for me, my eyes are starting to burn out staring at all this stuff and it's all looking the same. ^_^ I have completed Necromancer Dwarven armor, Warrior Dwarven armor, and will work on the others once I get around to it. The biggest problem with all these galleries, aside from all-over-the-place formatting, is the terrible image quality or complete absence of the images needed. If anyone would like to help, it will be greatly appreciated. You can help by taking the screenshots and uploading the images yourself or you can try contacting me in-game and I can take the screenshots and format and upload them myself saving you the editorial work. Please keep in mind that I afk a lot, so don't get offended if I don't answer, keep trying. :P Thx. RoseOfKali 05:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

More stuff to do (dye charts)
If you're looking for something else to do in the meantime, how about officially initiating the dye chart project starting with dye charts for the necromancer armor you have so painstakingly collected? We only have a few of these so far, with the official wiki having far more. Jennalee 14:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Since when are we doing dye charts for armor? And how will it fit into the armor template?  |dye-chart=yes?  Example?  I can do them all for both male and female necro, since male can preview female's armor, but I wanna make sure to do it right the first time due to the sheer number of screenshots involved...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 19:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I would have thought an appropriately sized dye chart image under the dyed views would be nice with just one component, 5x2 or 6x2 (depending on if you want to include a mix or not), in the same kind of box as the other armor images. You'd need more though if the different pieces dye differently, such as ele vabbian female... IMO, the endeavor isn't that insane if you can find a way to semi-automate the layout of a dye chart like how Birchwooda seems to show in the way they make theirs - the screens you take for a chart should all be in one place so will drop from the same area, all you'd need to do is to take the right number of them for each color and have the program copy the way you cropped it repeated the same way for all the shots and then autoformat in the way your first did it... Jennalee 22:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * IMO, as long as you pick a good standard name for them all, you can start them now and templating could come later and be modified without needing to reupload anything Jennalee 22:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, well, I guess I'll just have to whip something up and put it up for evaluation. As far as Dwarven armor names go, it will be pretty much impossible to keep all the names consistent before the existence of the template, the main task is to get the images first, but it someone wants to write a separate template (please, for god's sake, don't try to integrate it into the current armor template), good luck. There are 10 main galleries and 35 sub-galleries... Gotta keep both categories in mind, the main page and the piece sub-pages. As far as naming goes, make the main page gray/dyed overviews consistent with all other armor galleries, as in Necromancer Dwarven Armor F gray front, and for the subpages replace Profession Art Armor with the name of the piece and keep the rest the same, as in Gloomcrest Tunic F gray front.

 * Why not? Having something like this at the bottom doesn't seem so bad... Jennalee 01:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Not until you're the one that has to make and edit it. Not to mention different body parts and color combinations... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 02:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If the armor pieces in a set all dye the same way, then all you'd need is to show dye for one piece since colorable areas section should show which parts dye (most likely chest). At the most, you'd show one color mix for a basic dye chart - nobody's been crazy enough to do a full dye combination mix chart before and it's not expected. Also, it doesn't have to be a redlink if added to the template - it could autohide like earrings if an image is missing. Nobody's forcing you to make it. They do, however, take a while to do if you're really pedantic with your cropping and general compulsion to make it look nice. I did get the impression though that you could batch the cropping and autopasting to a layout with some programs, taking a lot of the work out of it since you will always be cropping from the same place in an image, the same size, etc if you didn't move the dye window when taking the shots (I haven't figured it out yet tho so all manual here ._.) Jennalee 09:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, whatcha think? Needless to mention, that thing takes a while...  61 to go for Necromancer alone... *develops and allergic reaction to the sight of a computer* RoseOfKali 03:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks real nice and certainly doesn't look out of place IMO. Personally, i'd do a dye mix with silver + a strong color to show how silver lightens in a dye mix since it's often used that way... Jennalee 09:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah silver+blue often looks good. I liked my pink though. :P  I figured a single mix is better than a gray cell.  These aren't too exciting to make, so don't expect me to stamp these out like a printer, but I'll do my best as I find time, and I'll try to edit the armor art template to include a dye chart as an option.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 16:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Mm, would that type of silver + blue depend on the armor's base color though? Since all the GW:EN armors have a bright red base color, they should turn out the same as the necro deld but the rest of the campaigns will all be different... Jennalee 16:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Where did you get that EOTN armor has a base color? O_o I think dye shades are primarily dependent on the "texture" of the armor, like is it cloth (Prophecies ranger), leather (Factions necro), metal (paragon), etc.  And even within each profession, different sets will dye differently.  Ranger Canthan armor has very different dye effects from Ranger Obsidian armor, though looking at them, you would think they'd turn out the same (cloth).  Elementalist Krytan armor turns bright white when you dye it silver, but that's not at all the case for Elementalist Elite Stormforged armor, even though, they use the same skin.  Armor just dyes how it dyes (or not at all), and that's that.  There's no formula or pattern to it.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, if you look at the renders done on GWW and some of the explanations of why they aren't done gray, they say that each armor has a default base color which it used to come with when crafted before the dye update. This was different for each profession, until they decided to use red for all armors from GW:EN, which is why all the renders for the GW:EN armors are red. Jennalee 06:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting... Still, the base color has nothing to do with how the dyes turn out on different armor, since even the base red looks different depending on the armor set. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 07:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought dye just modified the base color, added to it etc so the base would affect how it turns out.. Jennalee 08:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * On the contrary. If that was the case, then EOTN armor would be impossible to dye blue or green with a base color of red, and NO armor would ever dye white...  How different dyes turn out is affected by the armor texture, some armors darken the colors (Elementalist Canthan armor)), some lighten them (Ranger Canthan armor), some take on deep hues (Necromancer Asuran armor), others look bland and diluted, some (rarely) add other hues (Warrior Luxon armor - adds blue base, but wait, Warrior base was normally yellow ^_^).  Texture effects on color are best seen in Elementalist Vabbian armor/Female and Dervish Primeval armor:  both of these dye differently depending on the part of the armor.  Vabbian ele dyes lighter on top and darkens as you go down, and Primeval derv is the reverse. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Model
You sure you don't want me to model for these armor galleries? The Paragon Deldrimor Gallery is still running rings round me.

The offer is still available for me to model for you.  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  20:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure. ^_^  I see that you cropped the images around you character pretty closely, but, you probably moved your chamera around from shot to shot, because, when you look at the PIXEL size of the images, they are still different.  I guess just add me to friends and catch me online sometime.  I afk a lot, but you'll get me eventually.  Thanks for not giving up entirely. ;)  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 00:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe the template ought to be changed to scale by height and not by width, the variations wouldn't be as noticeable then. That means replacing 135px with x400px and 125px with x300px . Since most galleries don't line up vertically, slight changes in width will go unnoticed and not create white areas. I am not doing it because it would affect all galleries that use the templates, and I can't judge if the change might create problems (though I see none). --◄mendel► 10:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
