Talk:Power Customization

Table

I did a lot of cleanup on the table tonight. It was a little messy and confusing as it was and had numerous missing cells and errors. I also color-coded it much like the tables on Emotes are done, but I am not so good with Wiki markup and don't know how to define special tables like it's done there ("emote header", etc), so I did it cell-by-cell with basic wiki-supported HTML. The colors don't quite match the Emotes tables, I'm not sure if that's important or not. Anyway, if someone wants to re-redo it to be more consistent, by all means. I do think it's significantly more readable as-is than it was before, though. Draeth Darkstar 09:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible to choose two colours which aren't so bright? My eyes, they burn! XD Sera404 11:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The soft pastel colors used in other such areas are not Named HTML Colors, and since the tables in most every other area of the wiki are templates pulled from somewhere that I do not know how to find, I can't see how they're done to replicate the method. If you want to change the color entries to a different HTML color, feel free, though it's pretty much either super bright or really dark, they're all bold picks.

I'm not sure if Wiki markup will allow Hex code colors or not. Otherwise, if you can tell me how to find the templates for the table in Emotes or some other, similarly formatted part of the wiki, I will try to duplicate the behavior used there and make a Powers table.

Categories

Re: Aggelakis edit: Looking the categories over, I'm thinking Gameplay and/or Costumes may be the most appropriate to add, since that's where Weapon Customization is? I actually put Definitions on it because that's what Powerset Proliferation has and it seemed logical by that example. Draeth Darkstar 21:27, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Issue 16

Since the announcement of Issue 16 has confirmed Power Customization, I cleaned up the overview of this article. I will be adding another section with more details shortly. THe Developer Quotes section could probably stand for some more recent material too, but I won't be touching that, other than to mark the existing quotes as outdated information.

Update: Actually going to move all the old quotes and the link to the (now outdated) Power Customization FAQ to a new Historical Information section.

Update 2: Customizable Powers section completed. Checked over it myself a few times, please let me know of and/or correct any errors you find. Draeth Darkstar 14:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone else feel that sets that have weapon customization should be added into the list and noted as such similar to MA and SS? Bluebeetle27 19:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Considering that Weapon Customization works a bit differently, since it's changing the shape rather than the color of the FX or the animation, and how extensive the Weapon Customization article we already have is with all the powersets and pictures included, I'm not sure that trying to merge them would be wise just because of how much information we're talking about trying to organize clearly on one page. I think this article will grow quite a bit already since there will probably be cause for a series of galleries like the Weapon Customization's once we have access to take pictures of it. I do definitely agree that these articles should be associated in some meaningful manner though. Draeth Darkstar 21:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Customization category, along with a "See Also" section? Sera404 21:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I like that idea! It's probably about time we had a Customization category anyway, considering the game we're talking about. XD Draeth Darkstar 21:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Great Idea Catwhoorg 16:30, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

Since the release of Issue 11, we've seen some limited ability to customize powers, mostly benefiting Scrappers (Stalkers) and Tankers (Brutes) with regards to the appearence of the weapon that they carry and the color of the weapon. I have to wonder if this is a precursor to things to come. Personally, I'd like to see pet customization for Masterminds as well. Blue Orchid 18:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
