The png work for the zoomed in sprites.

However the zoomed out icons are uncolored in the base png and looked rather awful. (IMO)

On something of a side note, I am currently doing an overhaul to the wiki, which a part of will be individual ships getting their own pages.

I am leaving space on the pages for comments exactly like the ones in this thread.

I only have a single page ready to go, since I'm going alphabetically it's the Acid Sprayer.

If you guys can keep this in mind when posting comments, it will allow copy-pasting straight into the wiki.

Note that the wiki requires a log in as there have been spam problems in the past. It is pretty easy to get a log on if you ask however.

D.

Dazio, VERY nice work.  I'll probably have to submit for wiki-edit status so I can give you a hand.  Did you PM X4k here on the forums or over on Mantis?
... and then we'll have cake.

PM'd x400 via the forum is how I got my access. (Original post updated.)

And a couple questions:

In the abilities list, a 'Paralyze x1' means any ship hit by that ship is paralyze for 1 second?

And what's the difference between 'Absorb EMP' and 'Immune EMP'?

Correct.

There are aborbers left?  It means that getting EMP'd not only doesn't paralyze them, it fully heals them.

Thank you.

As for the wiki, I have a first page complete I would like feedback on.

Note that I am only doing the reference section of the wiki at the moment, stuff with hard numbers or yes/no mechanics questions. There will be a second part of the wiki for strategies and other suggestions on gameplay.

The two tables at the bottom are navigation templates, the ship and structures one will appear on all pages in the ship and structures section and each section will have it's own similar navigation table.

The second table titled "AI War Wiki Home - AI War Reference Section Home" is the navigation for the entire reference section and will appear on every page in the reference section.

If you can think of any pages that need adding, let me know, the second table shows my thoughts on how the reference section will ultimately laid out.

Please don't try following any links, they all go to pages that don't exist or are just wrong due to my copy-pasting.

Notably I need help with the expansions, what ships/structures were introduced when?

Acid Sprayer

Hope you guys like this.

Wiki page looks nice :)  Let me know when you have it in a form you like, and I can probably make an export function that will save you time reproducing it.  Though maybe you already have a tool that makes that from the existing export :)

Looks good, though I think your totals numbers are off for the MK IV.

Well, I thought I did have a tool in Excel, but it went and used a different quotation mark, breaking the page.

So at the moment, no, I don't have a tool for it.

And as of 2 minutes ago, I'll calling it done in terms of layout.

The how to use and how to counter fields at the bottom are not filled in, but that will be ongoing by the community.

If you can set up some sort of export easily that would be great. Otherwise I have some more ideas I can try. I'm not doing all these unit pages by hand that's for sure.  :-\

edit: GUDare: I'll look into it.

edit the 2nd: Numbers fixed

Haven't received a PM reply from x4000 yet. Thumbs-up on layout.

K. I had to go into Access and VB code but I've got a template that works off the excel dump file.

The other fleet ships should start going up later this afternoon.

MS Access?  I'm sorry.  (that's mostly tongue-in-cheek, I've used it for plenty of things before I took to having an install of MSSQL around for such purposes, which is overkill).

Thanks for the effort :)

Alright, I've got my template up and working.

Please check out the Fighter, Bomber, and Missile Frigate pages please and let me know if there's anything I need to correct before I start mass producing the ship pages.

The only thing I can spot is the images are always that of the acid-sprayer. Can you modify the relevant wiki line "File:AIWarAcidSprayer.png|left|Acid Sprayer" to a variable that contains the shipname? I'm hoping that the .pngs file names are identical to one of the columns on the Excel sheet.
