18:10.04Jursamajthis is my 1st time on this channel
18:11.15Osewell this is kinda a ghost town
18:11.34OseNormally I idle here, but not lately
18:12.20Jursamajyeah, I saw the link on the wiki page and figured I'd see if there was any activity.  just you so far
18:16.37Osethe kiddies seem to have some sort of aversion to IRC
18:17.56Jursamajyeah, i've noticed that.  probably because it's not the shiny *new* toy.  they don't know that all other chat methods are derived from it.
18:20.59Oseif techno shows up tell him i'll brb

18:23.30Technobliteratorso are you back at the wiki now, can you edit again?
18:23.41Osekinda
18:24.03Osei'm mostly using an iPad to browse
18:24.14OseSo editing is very slow
18:24.33Technobliteratoryou have an ipad lol, what are they like
18:24.36Jursamajlol
18:24.49OseOn the plus side, wikia's new skin doesn't make safari shut down for no reason like konaco does
18:25.01Osemonaco*
18:25.09Technobliteratorthats good news
18:25.12Osealso
18:25.34Osedances the happy shoutbox-is-going-away-dance
18:25.58Technobliteratorjoins in and shares the same joy that its gone
18:26.17Technobliteratordidnt like the socializing used in that stupid box
18:26.19Osethe problem with the ipad is that itndoesn't support multitasking yet
18:27.06Osehence i'm not much on IRC, since I want to do other stuff at the same time
18:28.18Technobliteratorso if I asked for your help coding and stuff you wouldnt be there
18:30.11OseI can help now
18:30.28Osehijacks a
18:30.32OseLaptop
18:30.52OseTyping on the ipad is also a mess
18:31.03Technobliteratoroh good cos I was thinking about doing a captain infobox but I wouldnt be about to code it, that, and did you get my message about sporistics thing?
18:31.20Osehmm
18:31.43OseI think I missed a lot of stuff while travelling
18:32.29Technobliteratorin your talk page I added a section, basically I have made a sporistics thing and wanted it to work with the same as the id template
18:32.48Osesporistics is a fansite?
18:33.46Technobliteratorseveral pages IE Grimbolsaurian use sporistics because it has info like how tall your creature is and uses the same id as sporepedia
18:35.32TechnobliteratorI'd have preferred it if it was below the ID similar to how look for more by this creator is below the actual creator, some text like look this up on sporistics
18:36.20*** join/#sporewiki Ose (~chatzilla@wikia/vstf/Ose)
18:36.20*** mode/#sporewiki [+o Ose] by ChanServ
18:37.59Technobliteratorso would that be possible or no?
18:38.31Oselet me have a look
18:39.35Technobliteratortheres that, and if you have time then maybe how we could do a captain infobox with stats?
18:42.57JursamajHmm.  Looking at sporistics, what does the entry for "bones" mean?  Like Charles Darwin has "65 bones, 2 feet, 2 hands"...
18:43.24Oseheh
18:43.41Oselooked at Darwin first thing too
18:43.47Technobliteratorthats another thing, sporepedia doesnt list bones haha
18:46.32OseTechnobliterator: does any creature that appears in the sporepedia also appear on sporeistics?
18:46.58TechnobliteratorYup automatically
18:47.10Osewell then
18:47.21Technobliteratorit uses the same id stuff
18:47.24Osei'll just add it to {{sporepedia}}
18:47.29JursamajAh, I see.  Bones includes vertebra and all add-ons.
18:48.22Technobliteratorcan i discuss captain infobox?
18:49.35Osesure
18:51.13Technobliteratorok, so my idea is that you have the weapons and if you check them to say the captain does have them the picture of it appear
18:52.00Osedo we have said pictures on the wiki?
18:52.07Technobliteratorso if I checked Missile launcher in the form then a picture of it next to missile launcher would appear, if I didnt it's just be a small x picture
18:52.22Technobliteratorwe do I think, the randomness is uploading some
18:52.44Technobliteratorsorry I meant missile flinger haha
18:53.59Technobliteratorhmm I cant find them anymore... strange
18:55.05TechnobliteratorOk here was my idea I'll explain better
18:55.48Technobliteratorsimilar to the creature abilities navbox how that small image is there next to combat and for the others we have that for each weapon
18:56.08Technobliteratorand if yes, there is a tick next to it or a cross, we have them
18:56.47Technobliteratorand you can put what level it is but just the number
18:57.43Technobliteratorof course the first header for abilities is same as the creature one, the next 3 are for each of the things in captain outfitter, the weapons the armour etc.
18:58.08Technobliteratorif we havent got them I'll try find them
18:58.36Technobliteratorthen after that the next section is the fiction charactter stuff, so does that sound good or am i confusing
19:00.52Osemoment
19:03.34Oseis making {{infobox}} 100x better
19:05.43Technobliteratorcool, Ose is god tier coder
19:10.21TechnobliteratorOh and could you show me how to make properties work, so I can add them to most of our infoboxes, I dont get them
19:10.41Ose[[property::value]]
19:11.17Oseso [[jump::5]] means that the "page" (which should be a creature page obivously) has a jump stat of five
19:13.59OseTechnobliterator: you can start by making the basic template
19:14.24Technobliteratorsure what do you need help with?
19:15.01Technobliteratorlike should I make the basic captain template now?
19:16.39Oseyeah
19:17.54Technobliteratorok I'll do that now, so how do I create properties and get them to work with templates?
19:22.00Oseuh...
19:22.27Ose[[property::{{
19:22.31Osehmph
19:22.44Ose[[property::{{{parameter}}}]]
19:23.18Oseand then I can use {{template|parameter=value}}, which will then declare that [[property::value]]
19:26.49Osewell http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Grimbolsaurian shows sporistics now, although the double numbers look a bit goofy
19:28.44TechnobliteratorI did template:Infobox captain but it kinda sucks
19:31.56Technobliterator@Ose: you there?
19:32.03Oselooking
19:33.46Oseis there a list of weapons w/ images?
19:34.19TechnobliteratorYup, captain outfitter
19:34.53Technobliteratorif that doesnt have the images, i can take some myself
19:40.33Oseokay, so what you should do is to make a subpage for the template, like [[Template:Infobox captain/weapons]]
19:40.56Osethen, make a list of all the weapons there, and if you find/make them, add the images
19:41.04Osethen I can work with that
19:41.28Oseis off

20:00.34morgoth1145.msg Ose Yeah...so I fully fell off the face of the earth.  And now the next semester started, so I guess I'm on a "If I ever get back into admining mode" list.  (Sorry, I just lost my momentum and never regained it.)
20:02.08morgoth1145.msg Ose What do you mean by logging bot, anyway?  Logging it onto a wiki page?  'cause that involves knowing how to put it onto a page, which I don't know how to do in Python.
