Broader template
Hey Delt, did you look at all at the possibility of creating a True Duel Monsters card template that would cover DOR and FMR? I don't actually know how similar these games are (having played it, I'm decently familiar with DOR, but I've never even seen FMR gameplay), but the Japanese names suggest they're a series, which just by itself implies a lot of shared features. 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:36, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- I think the games are too different. DOR as you probably know, is played on a board, which the cards can move around, while FMR is a watered-down version of the TCG.
- FMR has no Effect Monsters.
- FMR has no Deck Costs.
- FMR has Guardian Stars.
- Many cards have different effects. Of course effects referring to moving around the board make no sense the context of FMR.
- The way they divide and colour Spell and Trap Cards (Magic, Power Up, Ritual and Trap) is the same, but some cards have different types between games, e.g. "Cursebreaker" and "Magical Labyrinth".
- The Ritual Cards work the same, but I think the material is sometimes different or less strict in DOR.
- FMR doesn't have Attributes. Although that's subjective. The icons are removed, but their background colour remains. No cards refer to Attributes, but seem to affect them anyway. e.g. "Salamandra" affects all would-be-FIRE monsters.
- Despite being in the same series as DOR, I'd say FMR is more like the early Duel Monsters video games in terms of gameplay. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:02, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- OK, that's persuasive enough for me. =) 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:58, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Image names
So, poking through some of our DOR images, it appears that there are three basic types of image we might have for any given card:
- the "info pane" image used for most of the examples here, e.g. File:BlueEyesWhiteDragon-DOR-EN-VG.png
- an actual "card-style" image, e.g. File:CocoonofEvolution-DOR-EN-VG.jpg
- a non-card image, e.g. File:KingTigerWanghu-DOR-EN-VG-NC.jpg
(there's also whatever this is, though that could just be an NC image with a weird crop/angle or something)
The non-card images are already covered in terms of naming, but not the other two: depending where you look, either one might have the "base" image designation or the "-2" tag, and I'm sure there are cases where something else was done; I haven't looked through terribly many images. So, I have to ask which we want as the "base" image, and what to do for the other type of image, assuming we even want both images (do we?). Thoughts? 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:20, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I think for all mediums which have cards, we should put the card image in the standard file name. Although that would mean renaming over 5000 Tag Force images. For the filename for the other DOR images, we could use something like -data or -info. -- Deltaneos (talk) 02:17, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Could you give a line-up of examples of each type? 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:40, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
Applicable power-ups
As mentioned in the above section, when you view a monster, you get the option to see a list of applicable Power-up Cards. Should we add a section for this? We could muse on the possibility of somehow handling this automatically. At the moment, I'm just wondering how we could present this information? A collapsible table cell? -- Deltaneos (talk) 03:42, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
