How i add a new monsters on wiki.project1999.com

[frantz256255]

Hi everyone !!!

You should know that I am one of those who try to update the pages of the different monsters as much as possible.

However, last night I came across a Sarnak that was not listed among the monsters.
So I created a new page but how do I associate the correct ID with the monster if the page does not exist when I start.

https://wiki.project1999.com/A_lead_explorer

If i understand well : | illia_id = ????

First off, great job contributing to the wiki!

However, I am a little bit confused: the URL is for A_Lead_Explorer, the name is AN IMPERIAL ESCORT, and the graphic is for a sarnak legionnaire. Which mob were you actually trying to add?

If i understand well : | illia_id = ????

This refers to the ID on the site Allakhzam.com (Allakhazam used to call their monster collection "Illia's Bestiary"). In this case, an Imperial Escort has the following Allakhazam URL:

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=6987

... which makes its "illia_id" 6987. If instead you wanted a Lead Explorer, that would be https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=14610 (Illia ID 14610).

However, I'm not sure that ID even matters really. I think the intent was that you could go to http://wiki.project1999.com/utils/wikiUtils.php, plug that ID in, and it would generate the page for you ... but if you try now you'll see it's broken.

(Most likely it's because Ravhin made that page ages ago, and Allakhazam has since updated their site, so the "web scraping" code he wrote no longer works. Anyone is welcome to PM him and ask for a fix, but since he no longer plays here I wouldn't hold your breath. If you happen to know PHP though, you could always make the fix yourself :))

So again, great job, and you did almost exactly what you should did ... except that you want everything to "line up". The page's URL, name, graphic, and all the details (eg. level, loc, etc.) should all be for just one mob. If you don't have a detail for that mob (eg. you don't have an image), just leave it off or make it a broken link (but don't include guesses or another mob's info).

Sorry about the confusion...

I created a new web page about AN IMPERIAL ESCORT, but i didnt know where get the id about him...

Now i know :)

I didnt know the id came from Allakhzam.

I wanted use the same framework about A_Lead_Explorer and change the info to put some information...

Last night, i update a lot of information in forteress of Sarnak.

If the monsters is dark blue or better i put this :
<b>Damage per kick: </b> - <br>
<b>Damage per bash: </b> -

I made some correction about the max damage also.

Also that :
<p><b>MONEY DROPS</b></p>
<ul>
<li> - <span style="color:#e5e4e2"><b>Platinums</b></span></li>
<li> - <span style="color:gold"><b>Golds</b></span></li>
<li> - <span style="color:silver"><b>Silvers</b></span></li>
<li> - <span style="color:#CD7F32"><b>Coppers</b></span></li>
</ul>

loramin, how do you add a picture of a mob? Below is what I found on the iron sentinel page. There was no iron guardian page so I created one but can't figure out how to add it's pic.

imagefilename = npc_iron_sentinel.png

Here's the page I made for the iron guardian.

Wiki's are a little backwards when it comes to images. Before you upload the image, you have to pretend like it already exists, and add its code to the page:

[[File:YourFile.png]]

Then, when you save (or just preview your edit), you'll see a red link on the page where you image should be. Click that link, and you'll be taken to a page where you can upload your actual image (and after you do so, when you go back to the first page your image will show up).
