Pressing Issues

0.13 Conversion

0.13 is currently scheduled to launch on October 11, 2013. We've got a ton of pages to update, as well as artwork. Are there any volunteers to help plow through this task? I'll start busting away at it the day it's official, but more hands would certainly be welcome.

The amount of changes in 0.13 is huge. I still need to make a few more modifications to our monster stats program, before it is ready for the update. Being able to update automatically all the descriptions and quotes would also be very nice. --CommanderC (talk) 17:54, 25 September 2013 (CEST)

0.13 Tournament

Okay people, we played well two years ago, and... well, we sucked last year, but what'cha gonna do. Anyone interested in giving it another shot this year? Does anyone know of any particular good players who might be willing to sign up for the Wiki's team? Anybody have any particularly amusing names to propose for us?

TEAM ROSTER

Tryouts

If you were on the team in the last two years, go ahead and pop your name up on the Team Roster. If you're new and want in, please place a link to your statistics here (or if you only play offline, a link to a winning character dump). This is going to mostly be a first-come first-serve setup, so enlist early!

Team Names

Propose any team names here! If you like a name, vote for it by adding your signature after it. You may vote as often as you want, but only once per name.

• Team CrawlWiki
• Ashenzari's Archivists
• ???

Missing Categories

• The four derived undead pages still need categories attached to them. If anyone has the time, could they add the appropriate resistance and vulnerability categories?

Speedrunnning, Dungeon Sprint, and Zot Defence

• These pages have always been weak points in our wiki. I've dabbled in the two alternate play modes, but never made a serious attempt at them, and I've never gone for an actual speed run. Could someone with experience in these fields give these pages some love?
  • Speedrun
  • Dungeon Sprint
    • Red Sonja
    • The Violet Keep of Menkaure
    • The Ten Rune Challenge
    • Fedhas' Mad Dash
    • Ziggurat Sprint
    • Thunderdome
    • The Pits
    • Arena of Blood
  • Zot Defence
    • Hall of Zot
    • Battle Heart
    • Two or Three?
    • Columnade
    • Glassed Sandwich

Site Redecoration

The CrawlWiki is not a very visually compelling website. If you have suggestions on how we could tastefully change the appearance of the site to make it a little less bland, post them here!

• New background color
• New site logo (the current one really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game)

Old Business

0.12 Conversion

All of this seems to be complete, and with 0.13 right around the corner, that should be the real focus here.

*We've been doing good work lately sniffing out the upcoming changes for 0.12 and creating new Crystal Ball Articles for them. If you spot any changes that we haven't yet acknowledged, definitely make the appropriate changes, adjust the page's "History" section, and add the Crystal Ball Articles category tag. We'd like to make the site conversion as painless and quick as possible.

• • There are going to be a LOT of new tile images in 0.12. So far our Crystal Ball Articles have only been tracking mechanical changes, not visual. Would everyone be alright if I created a Category:012 Tiles for pages that will need new artwork?
    • This is definitely a good idea.
    • Image-bot.pl can easily upload all the images in a directory. If the option ignorewarnings is disabled, it won't do anything if the image found in the wiki is identical to the one we are trying to upload. The main issue is that many of images have different names in the wiki and the source code. Manual intervention will be required.
      • It won't be fun exactly, but I could power through this myself in a solid afternoon. With the Retired Artwork page involved it'll require manual work anyway. --MoogleDan 14:32, 12 April 2013 (CEST)

• After the recent changes to mon-pick.cc, in 0.12 it will be very easy to know in which places or depths each monster can be generated. I think I will add Location sections to all the pages, like the ones we already have for uniques. --CommanderC 21:30, 12 April 2013 (CEST)
• 0.12 is going to be released very soon (perhaps tomorrow). I want you to know that I have been writing a program that will update all the tables of skill aptitudes that appear in several pages (species and skills). Please, don't lose your time editing the tables of aptitudes. --CommanderC 23:12, 30 April 2013 (CEST)
