Editing User talk:BarelyCreative

== Graphic set ==

It is easy to get lost on this wiki, even after years here I still discover new dark corners I wasn't aware of ;) The way I see it, currently we have:
* [[Modding]] as general landing page.
* Beginners [[modding guide]]
* Various [[Token]] pages for in-depth parameter reference
* With various pages that provide more in-depth usage explanation like [[Reactions]].

For graphics, I believe that currently [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Graphics&type=revision&diff=284350&oldid=282626 this info] might be best suited to [[Graphic set]]. Unless you choose to consolidate stuff (Personally, I welcome experimentation though it is hard to do so here due to lack of feedback) --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 11:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

-:That's fair, I definitely am still uncertain how that information should be displayed. It seems to me that because graphics tokens are only really useful as part of a multi-line set [[Reaction]] or [[Syndrome]] would the best examples to follow for a graphics page. Additionally, feedback from other modders after I had added all that information to the [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Graphics_token&oldid=284218 previous Graphics Tokens] page was that they ignored the page because its title seemed to imply it wouldn't have any instructions.
-:For this reason, I don't love the idea of linking to a page like [[Graphics token]] or [[Graphic set]], the latter of which I completely overlooked even while actively editing the wiki. Although I can see how my first try to resolve this made the pages more confusing rather than less.
-:I think it would be good to change [[Graphics]] into a landing page with:
-:* a "for/see" to a Premium-related tokens + how-to page (maybe [[Graphics token]]).
-:* some "for/see"s to the Classic-related reference pages (like [[Graphic set]], [[Tileset]]).
-:* a simple explaination of what base-game graphics are.
-:* how-to's for installing new graphics in both versions.
-:I'll put that in the talk pages of both Graphics and Graphics token so I'm not making the decision unilaterally. --[[User:BarelyCreative|BarelyCreative]] ([[User talk:BarelyCreative|talk]]) 06:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
-:: Seems like you given the topic some thought and it would be nice if the pages are updated by a modder.
-:: The only thing I can offer is that the difference between Premium and Classic is that the former comes with an official graphic set(which is kinda a mod in it self that resides in vanilla rather than mod folder). Otherwise they both can use the exact same tokens and methods to change the visuals in game.--[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
