ForumQuest Just Got Even Better Yet (Also, Why Does No One Tell Me These Things?)

[loramin]

So less than a week after I unveiled my ghetto fashion search I just happened to visit the wiki Version page (which lists all of the wiki's installed extensions), and what should I find but:

http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:MultiCategorySearch

That's right, our illustrious wiki overlords have heard my pleas and graced us with the official (not ghetto) multi-category search extension! Unlike my version this one allows you to search across five(!) different categories at once, without a risk of slowing the site down. Also, the official tool lets you specify three "ignore" categories, so if (for instance) you wanted to find a "Fashion: Leather" Shaman hat that isn't from Velious, that's possible now too.

There are two small downsides: 1) you have to type the full category name in (there's no drop-down), and 2) you have to capitalize the category name correctly (eg. "Fashion: Leather" not "fashion: leather").

But those are some pretty small downsides, so let me be the first to say:

Thank you Rogean (and the rest of the staff)!

P.S. To make the new search easier to find (after this post fades) I've added a link to it to the bottom right area of the wiki's front page.

Well that's just neat.

So trying this out

I get over 500 results of Velious Plate 2 and very frew for Velious Plate 1. What exactly is this telling me?

Lets say I want to find all the possible combinations of Velious Plate for a Warrior that has a consistent look. Is that possible?

There are only 68 items in the Velious Plate 1 fashion category, and 146 in the Velious Plate 2, so you shouldn't be getting 500 results for either. It sounds like something went wrong somehow.

When I search "Warrior Equipment" and "Fashion: Velious Plate 1" I get 16 results, and when I do "Warrior Equipment" and "Fashion: Velious Plate 2" I get 20. I'm not sure why you'd get different results. Maybe reload the page, clear everything out, and retype it, making sure there's no extra spaces or anything weird?

Not with a single search. The category search is an "AND" search (ie. "show me items that are in the warrior equipment AND Velious plate 1 categories"). However, you can always just do two separate searches and combine the results.

Ok I see now, 62 results.

Ah yeah, the wiki's UI was designed many years ago. Modern web devs would hide those links (at least the 100/250 ones), but I think when they were writing the wiki they did it in a way where that part of the page doesn't know how many results there are, so it just has to show (all of) those links all the time.

question - kunark chain only different on iksars?

Not sure since we don't have any screenshots for iksar/non-iksar wearing Kunark Chain. Who wants to submit some? I know off the top of my head that the fungi tunic is kunark chain, so there should be a lot of screenshots of it out there.

See this is exactly why we shouldn't limit our gender roles. Girls want to play with swords and (adult) boys want to play dress up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Iksar cultural is that texture, I think?

If so, I know fungi looks like an old world texture on wood elves.

My phone auto corrected to Roseanne so I’m going to leave it. I kinda like it.
