Llama · Post by **Llama** » Wed May 23, 2007 6:03 pm

Since its summer, I decided to re-start the illarion fansite from scratch, currently its old and in need of a rehaul.

Now, I don't know EVERYTHING about illarion (especially since the changes have taken place), and this is where I ask you for help.

Below are the following 'sections' of the website which I plan on putting. If someone knows a lot about a section, just post here that you'll do it for me. please.

You don't need to know any htm or coding or anything, just put the text into a document (or text file) and send it to me. I'll convert it, and you'll get your name on the credit list.

Manual > Doing This Myself
Screenshots> Pippin, Kevin, Lance [anyone else?]

I can do some screenshots, if you wish aswell as mining and smithing, I think I know well enough for the basics, glassblowing, goldsmithing, and carpenting I know enough of too, but wether I will be able to help you with those all I don't know. But I will take Screens, mining, and smithing atleast.

Weapons... well... isn't it basicly just the same?
Or what exactly are you wanting?
More of an ic type of explanation?

Informeth me!

Thanks Kev

Basically weapons, I'm looking for a LIST of all the major types of weapons, and what is recommended for the new player ect...

Kevin Lightdot · Post by **Kevin Lightdot** » Wed May 23, 2007 6:24 pm

Well, we should only do this basicly, not like "This weapon is better than that, this weapon has as prime attribute strength." ect. I would think, though giving some small hints, leading to those who think enough it obvious that blunt weapons need more strength than swords or such... but I assume this is the plan.

If you wish also, I could perhaps do some graffics for the website? Or atleast try.

I can do HTML/Layout stuff if you need, unless you got it covered

AlexRose · Post by **AlexRose** » Wed May 23, 2007 6:37 pm

I can easily do screenshots now

Kevin Lightdot · Post by **Kevin Lightdot** » Wed May 23, 2007 6:37 pm

Oh... yeah, html is do-able here too, but I assume fooser already got that now, poor me.

I can also help with some graphics if needed.

Taeryon Silverlight · Wed May 23, 2007 10:55 pm

I don't think herblore should be added to this page. It's pretty much ingame

Mind telling us where this 'fansite' can be found?

On the illarion links page.

Juniper Onyx · Post by **Juniper Onyx** » Wed May 23, 2007 11:13 pm

That 'links' page is so old and outdated, I never look there anymore.

Several of those links don't work anymore anyways.

Maybe they need updating too.

I can probably do the basics on cooking, farming, carpentry, lumberjacking, reforestation, tailoring. i can also do some graphics and some sweet logos. i'll start on the info bit and if you have any questions on it after you read it let me know. for logos and graphics any ideas?

Azuros · Post by **Azuros** » Thu May 24, 2007 4:36 am

What exactly do you plan to use as information for the herblore page? If it is nothing more than just a list of the herbs found through the skill, along with a picture, I do not see a problem in including that, since it doesn't really affect anything IG. In fact, I would be more than willing to supply this list along with pictures.

I'd reconsider, however, if you plan to list where the herbs are found or what herbs mix with which to make certain potions.

Why are cuncussion weapons and staves in different catagories. Staves ARE cuncussion weapons the only difference is the crafting skill used to make them, really no need for an entirely different catagory don't you think?

Answering all your questions:

1) I'm not using the old URL any more, but I'm leaving the site up till the new one's ready to be unveiled.

2) http://illarion.il.funpic.org is the new location, all there is is the manual and it looks kynda ugly right now

3) Staves and concussion weapons I split because of Rp reasons mostly, I see the stave as something a monk or a druid would use, while I doubt they'd run around with warhammers

4) Graphics are being done by Kevin (thank you kev), but if you want to make one of two tanistian, we'll put them in

5) Herblore is basically how it is possible to get the herbs (mechanism), what tools you need ect... though a list would be nice

6) I'm putting a "GUILDS" page. IF you own a guild and would like some free advertising...

Write a short description of the guild (what it does ect), link me to a picture of the guild's logo ect....give me any appropriate URLS (forum, private forums ect...) and I'll post it

7) Tan, are you going to do all of them? It'd be really appriciated

If the contents of each section is FOIG then it's fine.

Tanistian_Kanea · Post by **Tanistian_Kanea** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:49 am

yeah, i can do screen shot for those things to. it is no problem. though i will not create large lists of all the things that can be made or prices and everything like that. that is ig stuff. tools you need, the actions you take, and some of the basic stuff you can make.so, shouldn't take long. because of how busy i am i won't be able to get you anything till sunday.

Juniper Onyx · Post by **Juniper Onyx** » Fri May 25, 2007 5:27 am

Hmm....

Can we include 'recipes' for items in each of the crafts?
It would really help when crafting an item to have all the necessary supplies.

I could help with this if needed, I have been accumulating such a list.

I doubt the GM's and staff would like this idea, but what good is a 'Fansite' if it doesn't help the players with some 'secrets'? Why couldn't this fansite just 'tell all' about crafts, Herblore, Quests and other secrets?

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Fri May 25, 2007 9:49 am

What I planned this to be , is giving basic mechanical information, a broad view of the items you can create and what they're used for, et cetera.

Below is a link to the OLD fansite about carpentry (how it used to be), I'm aiming at something like this:

http://illarion.il.funpic.de/carpentry.htm

However the list dusty mentioned would be highly useful...

Actually nitram questioned whether we do need one...

Enwell van Illdoran · Fri May 25, 2007 10:11 am

i would write something about hte grey light..

the url is easy:

http://www.greylight.de/

secrets about game ooc is being sugested by juniper?

ok, i must have misread something. anyway. well i think we should. after all when you, "learn" how to make something you should actually LEARN how to make it. this would include what is need to make it.
