Green fashionquester's rejoice!

As I antagonized over what race/class to play, i found a lack of good comparison of armor sets between various races/genders.

Is great for blue, or if you care what you look like when you get Velious armor textures in 2+ years, but what if you want to look great now??

I used the archived Allakhazam Fashion Tables (as suggested at the top of the Players:Fashion page) and created a few collages, including
Banded Armor
Rubicite Armor
various robes
Class Armor (for 3 classes)

Between banded and Rubicite, you can see the plate and chain graphics for most race/genders, so use your imagination for the various tints. Or help me out and add additional collages for the remaining class armors (Warrior, SK, Pally, Priest) and leather armor (for druids). I'm done for now!

Paging Loramin to tell us about fashion on the wiki

Paging Loramin to tell us about fashion on the wiki

Since these are collages I Didn't really mess with the fashion tag functionality of the wiki, I just dumped them onto that one page (I also stuck the banded and rubicite collages on the pages for those armor sets). If someone wants to more intelligently tag these images with categories or what not, please do.

Wow, someone had pointed me towards that link of files wayyyy back when I first started doing fashion research to build the fashion categories (I'm not a FashionQuester myself, I just added the wiki stuff 'cause people wanted it, so I really didn't know anything about how fashion worked back then).

But I completely forgot about them as I learned about more structured data (ie. the Lucy fashion fields). All those images would be PERFECT for "fashion shows" on the wiki, and I truly love those collages.

Whether you like it or not I'm stealing them for the corresponding fashion category pages :p And if you want to make any more, I'll shamelessly use them too!

oh you added this, I see. Looks fantastic thank you for contributing!
I especially like the Rubicite Armor images. That was missing big time previously.

It must have taken a fair bit of time to get all these. Excellent work.

I am astonished.. look at those male Erudites. So noble. So intelligent. So fearless.

Yes, thank you!

BTW, I just wanted to mention that ... I have no idea why this was the case ... but for some reason the Fashion: Plate category had a ton of screenshots, while the Fashion: Chain one had none for the longest time.

Thanks to your Banded Armor collage, that is no longer the case! https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Fashion:_Chain

And they built all those wizard pyramids. Amazing!

P.S. Just to throw this out there, if anyone really loves fashion and wants to help the wiki, our fashion section is a little schizophrenic ATM.

The original wiki fashion stuff was this page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Fashion. It was great for having lots of images in one place, but not so great for "how will armor ____ look on me?"

As a result I added the fashion categories, and then the "fashion shows" to display appropriate images on them. The "entry point" into FashionQuesting for that stuff is the "FashionQuest Guide" page: http://wiki.project1999.com/FashionQuest_Guide.

There's also the http://wiki.project1999.com/FashionQuest, which is just a placeholder between the two.

I'm sure what every FashionQuester would ideally want is one page, that sort of combines /Fashion and /FashionQuest Guide. Or if the combined page would be too big, maybe still have separate pages, but reorganize things so that there's one clear "entry point" into fashion on the wiki.

It's on my "someday" list, but again I'm not a huge FashionQuester personally, so I'm not super motivated to do it (vs. all the other wiki projects I have). If anyone wants to try and "coalesce" all the wiki's fashion data (well, not the categories themselves, but at least the links to them that the guide has) into a single page (or multiple pages logically separated/linked from one page), it'd be a huge improvement.

How do you figure out what color an item is if you don't know, and you know its wrong on the wiki? Example: Burynai Legion Gi isn't correct as of right now. Its a robe in the Cryosilk category, but tinted with this pink sort of color. The color says leather though, which isnt a color.

That specific item was a mistake, pure and simple. I've fixed it (please don't check the history to tab to see what idiot accidentally added that incorrect category in the first place ... :o).

But in the more general sense, I used the wiki category mechanisms for fashion on purpose, so that they'd be easy and wiki-like. Every item has code at the bottom like:

[[Category:Fashion: Cryosilk Robe]]

If the item has a tint, there will also be a tint category:

[[Category:Fashion: Black Rock]]

If an item has the wrong category, you just edit/delete those 1-2 lines at the bottom of the item's wiki page.

The only tricky/painful part is renaming categories. To do that you have to edit each item in the category, and change the name at the bottom of its code (... for every item :().

Finally, for:

How do you figure out what color an item is if you don't know

lucy.allakhazam.com (although the tints will be by hex code, not name there) ... but all of the wiki's fashion data should have already been taken directly from there. Weird anomalies like the Gi that you found were likely mistakes I made, before I wrote and ran the automated code that stole that data from Lucy and added it (as categories) to most items in the wiki.

Love the banded section. Pulling off Fungi fashion is not easy.

And they built all those wizard pyramids. Amazing!


Thebshissar built the pyramids. The Combine Empire, which has Humans and Erudites built the spires.
