Tibianews Worldmap Updated!
Heya Hunter,

I'm pleased to let you know that the Tibianews.net world map has been preliminarily updated. the map is complete up through the last update, and the major cities are named. We have yet to name the smaller geographical features, but that will be done soon. We will also update the console to the right of the map itself, but as for now, the map is fully functional.

Feel free to use the tool to start updating the locations of the objects in the game, and even make an announcement on the Wikia frontpage that others can do the same. The direct url is here: http://www.tibianews.net/worldmap.asp

Have fun!

~Mijeman

Heya Mijeman!

Sorry, but I couldn't understand what you mean with "to update the locations of the objects". The links we already have to TibiaNews World Map don't need to be updated.

Hai Hunter,

Sorry about the confusion. I meant that you can start adding the locations of NPCs in cities that weren't in the map before, such as Svargrond, Yalahar, and Liberty Bay. The more you add, the more I'll be able to label the hunting grounds appropriately.

Thanks!

Good job, Lord Mijeman, finally it is done. I will start of adding links to the major cities and hunting grounds right away. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 10:12, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. The official event for May is the food cooking djinn thing. See tibia.com for details. Right now there is no official event listed on the main page here. 2. The map tool is under redevelopment, and will be out for sure within the month. All of the coordinates in Wikia will need to be adjusted as it's nearly impossible to match up the old coordinate system.

I assume you know this, all links send you to the same place, and when you click the button "Mark an Area" is still uses '.asp' in the link instead of '.php'. Even though the links do not work, should we update them assuming they will work at some point? --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 22:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Your first point is not true, the event is in August. What you see on tibia.com is something different, I suggest you to read it ;) Your second point sounds promising, Cantinelle already told you found somebody with the knowledge to fix it. We will have to change all links manually anyway, because we're gonna make some changes to enable a little competition, see this template: Template:Worldmap. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 11:32, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

By TibiaNews' standards the recipe contest is an 'event' although not in game, yet it is not something that fits TibiaWiki's medium. I will begin updating Worldmap coordinates, starting with Rookgaard. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 17:33, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think Lord Mijeman meant the new coordinate system still needs to be implemented, so you can't start with fixing links yet (I think). The location of x=0 and y=0 probably changes? We had a little discussion about this a while ago on the fansite board and someone already suggested to decide one point as x=0 and y=0 (e.g. thais depot) so the coordinates of every fansite worldmap can be exchanged (tibiamap.net and tibiaml.com are also working on worldmaps). ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:21, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Unconfirmed Information
First and second are confirmed, I got it from hacked files (object.srv)

Weight in the third edit, as I stated in the comment, is unconfirmed - feel free to undo it. Cykotitan 22:11, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I've received the mail. The files are from protocol version 7.72, is that okay with you? Cykotitan 05:56, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Mistake in skullcracker armor

TibiaWiki contest
So what are the odds of another contest anytime soon? I discovered this contest three days too late, and I was really bummed.

Unfortunately, we don't have plans for another contest in a near future.

We announced our contest through a on August 31st. You might have missed it. =/

Also, there was an advertisement for the contest where you can read that it is over now (at the top of the page) during September.

New look
Hi there,

I just stopped by here to check out the wiki in the new look and noticed there wasn't a custom theme yet. I see you have a nice wordmark, and I added the "Rock garden" theme for now. Has the community started talking about the new look at all? I am happy to start a conversation somewhere, or to answer any questions you may have. I also left a message for Beejay and Sixorish. Cheers, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 23:25, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I didn't notice any change for logged-in and logged-out users. I couldn't find the "Rock garden" theme either.

Can you explain what exactly did you do?

&lt;·&gt; Hunter of Dragoes &lt;·&gt; My Talk &lt;·&gt; My Contributions &lt;·&gt; 14:40, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Hunter of Dragoes,


 * Did you visit Special:ThemeDesigner (which should also be in your My tools)? In that tool under the themes tab, you can pick from a bunch of pre-set themes, one of which is rock garden. It appears Game Widow has actually been able to make you a custom background, which you can see now. I think it looks great. Feel free to modify it more, or get in touch with Game Widow with requests. Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 16:18, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Actually I couldn't find any link to "Special:ThemeDesigner" nor "My tools" in Special:Preferences' Skin tab (only found the "Admin Options"). Special:ThemeDesigner is a blank page for me. And I have no idea where the files uploaded by User:Game widow (File:Wiki-wordmark.png and File:Wiki-background) are used.

&lt;·&gt; Hunter of Dragoes &lt;·&gt; My Talk &lt;·&gt; My Contributions &lt;·&gt; 17:37, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

It is only visible when the new look is enabled, which I did right now. I also started a discussion here. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 18:35, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Bennie, I didn't see [ the new MediaWiki:Sitenotice] maybe because you forgot to change the MediaWiki:Sitenotice id. Also when I checked TibiaWiki talk:Community Portal this weekend there wasn't any section about the new skin.

By the way, Sarah Manley, wasn't it easy to figure out what was the problem?

I just posted my opinion on TibiaWiki talk:Community Portal.

EDIT: I can't find "Special:ThemeDesigner" nor "My tools" in Special:Preferences yet. Special:ThemeDesigner works when I use the new skin, it seems to be easy to customize, maybe I'll use it when I have spare time. It bugs when I use other skin and preview that page with the new skin by going to, some French (?) text appears as the "example page". What exactly happens when I click on the 'save' button? An admin skin is created?

 * Hi Hunter of Dragoes, The theme designer and my tools are not in your preferences, but you need to have chosen the new look there to see them. Once you have picked the "the new look", a toolbar will appear at the bottom of your screen. This will contain a link to Mytools, which is a personal toolbox (help page on my tools), in there you will see the theme designer (which you can also find by going to Special:themedesigner - help page on theme designer). Once you are there you can see the theme options. The text below is fake text in Lorem Ipsum, not French. As for the sitenotice, this will not exist in the new look, but the community corner does, you you can post updates there. It can be found on the wiki activity page.

Oh, I didn't notice that the text is the same, the only difference that can be considered a bug is the image not showing (File:Aquarium.jpg). Also, I never heard of Lorem Ipsum before, but I realized that I was probably wrong about the language (French) right after I posted my last comment. Thanks for the links, I just read the first sentece and got my questions answered: "The theme designer is an (...) admin tool (...) to (...) customize your wiki's theme (...)" It means that every user can choose to use the skins created by using that tool, right?

Do logged-out users get notifications about changes in the "community corner"? Can the 24-hours rule be changed?

The MediaWiki:Sitenotice is perfect because the (logged-in and logged-out) users don't have to open a new page to read what the admin team wrote to them, and, if that message box is bothering them, they can "close" it.

 * Hi,


 * "It means that every user can choose to use the skins created by using that tool, right?" Do you mean users can use the tool to see their personal preference? If so, that is not the case. This tool is for everyone to see when they visit the wiki, logged in and logged out. There is no longer a personal preference option, unless you are choosing to use Monobook, or have set something in your personal CSS/JS.


 * As for the community messages (formally called the community corner), anyone can see this on the wiki activity page. Only logged in users though will get a message that it has been changed. Best, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 00:22, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I was thinking that the tool creates a new skin which every user can choose to use. So, the tool edits the oasis skin (New Wikia Look)... (major) changes should be discussed to please the majority of the users...

Thanks for answering.
