So. We now have a whole bunch more things to take pictures of and categorize. I think that for accessories we should just go with one set of pictures per accessory / item type (so volcanic wings would need a different set of photos than prismatic wings), but that they should all go on the same page: (accessory:wings) or something, perhaps as clickable links.

How do folks feel about doing it this way?

(also, if we see folks with accessories, maybe we should be asking them to provide us with shots?)

Stick with separate pages for now until enough information is gathered. We can always merge pages and do redirects.

As for folks with accessories, try using inspect to take a PNG screenshot.

I've made files for all the icons. Please use the AccessoryInfo template above for each variation of an accessory. This will automatically create standardized filename uploading links. Whenever I spot an image of an accessory showing it's been found by players in-game, I'll upload the matching icon. Happy accessory screenshot hunting!

Edit: We'll remove all the templates later and do a table showing all the variations for each accessory, but for now multiple uses of the template on a page will help with info/image gathering.

Did you find any of your accessories cannot be attached to particular items? I noticed that the Plume cannot be attached to the Angelic line, for example.

Colors

There was a post in General about colors any what they match. I like BSOD's idea, would make matching colors much easier.
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/27984

On that note, can someone set up a template for the individual accessory pages which would make a grid of the different colors? Maybe two rows of five colors? That way they can have standard file names, like Color_Page_Name-Equipped.png and it is much easier to see the colors side-by-side. The Mecha Wings page seems to be slowly going in that direction.

Derp

So there are little accessory icons at the bottom of armor tooltips. The icons correspond to which accessory types can be attached to that armor.

An entire line doesn't have to share the same properties, interestingly. The Cobalt and Solid Cobalt allow accessories at the front, back and side. Whereas Mighty Cobalt allows accessories on the front and side, but not the back. (It gets a little pony tail automatically when upgraded.) I assume Azure would be the same.

I guess we should add the same icons to the ArmorInfo template.

Color chart

I added a color chart which shows the colors as gleaned from the accessory icons:
http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/0/0b/Accessory_color_chart.png

Accessories use the primary or secondary colors in consistent manners, from what I've seen. For example, the Helm Guards and Mecha Wings use the primary color for the bulk of the item and the secondary color for the accents. Whereas items like the Flower, Long Feather and Maedate uses the secondary color for practically all of its coloring.

This is important info, not sure how to include it in the wiki though. For example, if someone wanted a redish Long Feather I think they'd need to get Volcanic. Toasty looks more brown than red. Even Heavy would probably be more red than Toasty in this case.

The colors are not precisely representative of items since there seems to be some desaturation and variation of the colors. Fancy isn't quite so purple in-game, and drab isn't quite so tan. The differences between colors are well represented though. Drab's primary color is more tan and less blue than Dusky's primary color. Also, Drab's secondary color is more saturated than Dusky's in-game.

I propose for each accessory (save auras) we have a 10 row horizontal table, so we can put a picture of every color scheme next to each other.
The current vertical thing is kind of bothersome to scroll.
Also standardize the image size for heads and armors to a certain number

I've spiffied up the accessory page and added a link to it from the main page. Thanks for the color information, Culture; I've included it as a table.

I'm not entirely convinced I need the style column in the list section, but that's the best way to denote that auras do not come in the same color schemes as the others. If anyone has a better suggestion on how to do that, feel free to let us know.

I'll work on standardizing the individual accessory pages a bit more during this week. Please note that you need to find the accessory in-game rather than using SpiralSpy because the names are not always the same as the filenames and we do have a no spoilers policy.

Wow

The new accessories page looks great! I like what you did with the colors, I should really learn how to do wiki templates ._.

I agree with you that the styles column is unnecessary. That could be replaced with just a Notes column that just mentions the Aura's style exception. Actually are those different styles of Aura? Or are they different kinds of Aura? Maybe Auras don't have "styles?"

It would be useful to also add a cropped thumbnail of the accessory, like the List of Sets page does.

I wonder if the color labels should be the other way around. Lots of items just use only the secondary color but are there any that only use the primary color? Maybe it would make more sense to switch the labels around :) Just a random thought.

Thanks to TGYoshi, the ArmorInfo template now has a spot for accessory info. If you have a piece of equipment, just edit that page according to the new directions at http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Template:ArmorInfo

You only need to have the optional variables that are yes for an item as the default for all of them is no.

So you can just copy and paste the appropriate section below into the template usage on a page and delete the lines that don't apply:

| helmet_top = yes
| helmet_side = yes
| helmet_front = yes
| helmet_back = yes

| armor_front = yes
| armor_back = yes
| armor_aura = yes

Since we now have categorized

Since we now have categorized all the helmets & armor for their various accessory attachment points, I've updated a few templates and have started to standardize pages about accessories. http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Bolted_Vee for a standardized example if you want to convert other pages. Feel free to elaborate on the descriptions. Also feel free to double-check equipment pages to make sure they have the correct attachment points listed.

It's possible that we can just remove the notes variable for AccessoryInfo, but I'm leaving it there for now in case we think of something else that would be useful in that box.

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Template:Accessory_see_also can always take more relevant links if you think of any to edit into it.

Along with that I have altered the styles column of the accessory list on the accessory page. "All standard styles" for the ones that have the typical 10 types.

I've added another optional variable to the rows of the tables for each accessory to accommodate for the image uploading issue. Since there are more than 300 accessory images for us all to accidentally upload the wrong one or a fuzzy screenshot, this will allow for a different named but still standardized image name.

So for example:

If the wrong image is uploaded for the Toasty Helm-Mounted Display, just go to the Helm-Mounted Display and where you see this:

Change it to something like this:

Then you can use the new red link to easily upload the fixed equipped image as Toasty Helm-Mounted Display2-Equipped.png.

Screenshot Takers?

By pressing the "PrtScn" button on your keyboard it'll save a capture of the screen. Then editing any digital drawing program (Photoshop, MS Paint, Easy Paint-tool Sai, ect) you hit CTRL+V or Edit+Paste (through the menus) and then you'll have the screen shot. You can crop from there. I am assuming your saying that your screenshots wont save on your own, if they wont the above is what you do. If you are saying that you have tried the above and it did not work, I do not believe there are any "Screenshot Taker" programs out there...

Good luck!
