Template talk:Armor skin set table

Transposing option

How much would I have to pay someone to allow for a transposed version of this table? If there were a parameter such as "horizontal=y" which would change the vertical form shown on Aetherblade armor to be horizontal like on Asura cultural armor, it would be far more conducive for copy/pasting into the game. (I also just noticed those aren't skin links for the asura page).

I understand if this is asking too much, as {{Skin set table row format}} is also being called, and I'm not sure how well templates handle parameters being passed along. G R E E N E R 03:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

{{#arraymap:Headgear,Shoulders,Chest,Gloves,Leggings, Boots|,|@@@|
{{#ask:[[Has skin type::@@@]][[Has skin set::{{{1|Stately armor}}}]]|?Has game id#
| mainlabel=-
| format = template
| template = skin link
}}|}}

If you want to copypaste the skins. Doesn't have anything to do with this template though.--Relyk ~ talk < 03:27, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll fix the css in a bit. -Chieftain Alex 13:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

the css fixes I made looked bad. The second version looked mediocre too... the item icons just don't work with a horizontal version. -Chieftain Alex 14:43, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Without icons it looks "ok" but I still don't like it. I agree however that the vertical version is useless for pasting the links into the game... which is the point of showing the links at all. -Chieftain Alex 15:12, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Whatever this template looks like it would be called something different btw, maybe "skin set preview links table" or something catchier... -Chieftain Alex 15:12, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, if a template doesn't have a certain snap or pizzazz to its name, it's not worth using. The icons were a boon to the vertical format, but I can't see how they could ever fit horizontally. Formatting data is not my forte, but from a utilitarian standpoint, the horizontal gives more to the user, and does so quickly. G R E E N E R 01:39, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

The template name isn't pithy, but I wrote {{Skin set chat links table}} + gave perhaps an example usage case on User:Chieftain Alex/sandbox. -Chieftain Alex 08:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll familiarize myself with those two formats in the morning. I have a large influx of family that I haven't seen in ages, but Monday should be calmer. Where is Silveredge when he's needed? G R E E N E R 09:09, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Allowance for weapon sets

Would it be possible for this to output weapon sets? I think it would work well on pages such as Bandit Weapons Specialist where the skin is more important than actual items. Currently that page makes the reader believe they need to purchase one of the linked rare items in that list. G R E E N E R 23:45, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

It would probably work best as a separate template, since the list of individual types would be different. Probably would be too much to squeeze into a single template. —Dr Ishmael 02:31, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Time to move to armor skin set table.--Relyk ~ talk < 08:59, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Whatever you believe is easiest. I'm going to keep asking for random things, but by no means does that say if what I'm asking for is reasonable. If something like this is superfluous or too niche, just let me know. G R E E N E R 09:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Actually I shouldn't have moved the template, we can just sort it with Property:Has skin type number + query for "Has skin set" without supertype. -Chieftain Alex 10:10, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
