Murlock Report post Posted February 15, 2006 I thought it best to start a new topic about the 'Monster and Animals' (now called 'Creatures') section of the Encyclopedia. Does the current Encyc cover all of the information for creatures that can be summoned in EL? For example there are now four types of bear, is the Black bear the only one that can be summoned or can the Grizzly be summoned as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murlock Report post Posted February 15, 2006 As I've worked my way through the file I really could do with some info from the high level summoners out there. When you summon a Bear, is it a Black bear or a Grizzly? When you summon a Chimera, what type is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted February 16, 2006 Personally, I would prefer the summoning info to be it's own section. Is that possible? As long as we're redoing it anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crusadingknight Report post Posted February 16, 2006 Personally, I would prefer the summoning info to be it's own section. Is that possible? As long as we're redoing it anyway... I like it where it is, mainly because I can check if a monster can be summoned without checking a whole list of entries for it. And, it means we only need one page per monster, instead of two. Finally, apropos summoning info, it doesn't seem to me that there is enough to fill a page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted February 17, 2006 Well i was thinking 1 page for all the summoning info, not one page per creature... Kind of like the page elrocks had (not there anymore) with each animal listed in order and had how many nexii were needed and what ingredients, and what books...one line per animal, in chart form basically. To me, that is much more helpful and convenient to have all summoning info available on one page. But it's just a suggestion, this is your baby and if it's too much of a problem to do, it's not a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But charts really tend to screw with the current format, and require constant balancing with whitespace... let's just say, if anyone really wants to do it, and add some more detail to the Creature pages, go right ahead. Just don't break anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew someone suggested all the summoning info grouped together so I've just done that... I wanted to come and get approval before the commit however and found the thread. I wish I'd checked earlier! Oh well. I'll have a play with developing a table and putting it all on one page, but I suspect that the encyc window isn't going to be helpful in that regard (too small). Anyway, I'll play and see what I can come up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m_bee Report post Posted February 23, 2006 Hi everybody, never wrote anything here, but was watching it closely. I retrieved the latest cvs today and I agree with Aislinn, in this cases it is hard to tell wether it is or not better until you see the result, but I find this table much more convenient for summoners that surfing thru all the creatures to find the info. Just my opinion, of course. Well, this is just more work for translators *opens kate and kxmledit again* - Cheers, people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
