Editing Template talk:DriveForm

==Color change?==
{{Uxie|time=14:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)|angela=Yeah, the template's coming along. One idea we should add to it is that the box should be the color of the form it reprisents (eg: Valor - Red). I know a few guys that can help with the box color change.}}

{{MEX|time="Look Sharp!"|text=Wow very good idea! Thanks! Can you tell him to help us? Oh, one more thing I didn't have awsnered because i'm new and I forgot to see the discussion page, sorry.}}

== Ok, but ==

Considering we got rid of our last form infobox, lets make sure this thing serves some kind of purpose before you go any further on it.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 14:46, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
::[[User_talk:KrytenKoro#Drive_Form_crap|Here]]'s my view on an infobox for drive Forms. Basically, it doesn't seem like it would improve the presentation and legibility of the information.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

{{Dark-EnigmaXIII|time=18:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC)|text2=As Kryten said, an infobox for driveforms doesnt seem to be utterly neccesary, though it's not detrimental either. You should gather some more oppinions on the usefulness of this template, and work with it more so it can be further customized, like beign able to change the colors. As for the infobox itself:

*Obtained should be clear and concise, instead of "''Along with Sora's new clothes at Mysterious Tower''", just ''Mysterious Tower'' is enough.
*Form color should be the color of the infobox, not a cell by itself. Able to be customized according to the form.
*Im not even sure if Represents is really neccesary...
*the status screen description should deffinetely '''not''' be in the infobox.

Otherwise, it doesnt look like if it could do harm.}}
{{KrytenKoro|I don't think there's really any point to having "obtained" if it's just the world, and if it's the full thing, it doesn't make sense to put it in an infobox.
*Form color isn't a canon quality, and shouldn't be listed as if it was.
*Status screen is unnecessary.
*"Represents" is probably going to be too wordy, and is in the lead for all of these anyway.
*I would reorganize Gauge Consumption and Support Characters into: "Consumes", like so:}}

{|style="float: right; border:solid 2px #FF0000; -moz-border-radius: 10px; text-align:center" align="center" width="234px"
|-
|colspan="3" style="text-align:center; color:black; background:#FF0000; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 0.5em; -moz-border-radius-topright: 0.5em;"|'''{{{name|}}}'''
|-

|-

|style="background:#FFB59D"|{{{allies|}}}
|}

with drive just being the number, rather than a full sentence. The background and text color can be handled with a switch template similar to Style.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.195|192.249.47.195]] 16:56, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

{{MEX|time="Look Sharp!"|text=Thanks for all ideas. I will use them to make a VERY GOOD template that would be really usefull. About the things that KrytenKoro didn't understand, I removed them. Brazilians normally understand these things, so when I translated it got strange. "Boosts" would be like if it would boost, in Valor for example, the running ability, or jumping. Oh, one more thing I didn't have awsnered because I'm new and, because of that, I forgot to see the discussion page, sorry.}}
{{KrytenKoro|The issue wasn't that I didn't understand, but that a Form ''doesn't actually boost those things''. What it does is give you a new set of active and passive abilities which provide ''all'' the gameplay effects beyond the color change to Sora's clothes.

Also, the width of the infobox needs to be standardized, there should probably be a "desc" underneath the image, and the image should have a white background isntead of whichever color the table has. and the orb thing you did below, which could be easily coded. Once those are done, I would put these up for consideration in the forums.}}

== A new idea ==

{{MEX|time=17:00, 07 February, 2012 (UTC)|text= I had an idea. You know these boxes where you put the heartless symbol, or the unversed or of the dream eaters? What you think of putting one with the Drive Form Orb? About the color i found a way, just testing.}}

{{MEX|time=16:00, 09 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=But, what about the Final and Anti forms? They don't have orbs. What can we do? Also, do you really think that the border of the rows with the same color of the background are really better?.}}

{{KrytenKoro|Not sure what you mean about the border; I just separated out the color/color2 code you had done into a switch function. Final and Anti Form can just have a blank square there, it's fine.

We need to standardize the width of the columns so that Anti Form's doesn't act like that even though it's empty, or we need to turn that into a switched section so that it doesn't appear at all. Do we want to allow sprites (gauge sprite, basically) for this, like the enmy template has? Also, can I add the code to include foreign wiki linking?

Finally, the descs still need to be added so that they appear as image captions. Once we address these issues and have each infobox coded up, we should open up a forum to see if people like them.}}

{{MEX|time=16:00, 09 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Guy, you're helping me a lot with this. Thanks. You know who moved the tests and added the HT, TM, Sp and CT forms here? I want to thanks him, since I would not be able to do that alone now, not used with coding ya know?}}
{{KrytenKoro|That was me. Also, can you get me a screenshot of the Limit Form description, in Japanese? There is no way that the translation you were given was right.}}
{{MEX|time=15:30, 10 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Thanks! Of course I can get a screenshot, not of high quality but legible.}}

Not the description from the mirror, the description in the main menu.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 16:01, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

{{MEX|time=16:15, 10 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Yeah. That's why I can't get it now. My brother is with my video-game, so... Until tomorrow noon I'm certainly I will put it here.}}

{{MEX|time=16:50, 10 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Would be good if we find a place to put the form sprites?And the status increases. I can get them. We can put a row like the "Consumes", but instead, "status increases" and in front Strength, defense and magic. This if it would not make the infobox very big.}}

{{KrytenKoro|There seriously aren't any. You can compare your stats before and after, they are exactly the same. All that changes is that the Form replaces your Action abilities, adds to your Support abilities, upgrades the respective Growth ability, and if it has Synch Blade, lets you use the second Equipment ability. Nothing other than the color of your clothes and your list of abilities is actually changed.}}

{{KrytenKoro|Also, we need to get the sprites to arrange neatly somehow. Possibly by setting up white-bordered columns, or arranging them differently.}}

{{MEX|time=12:03, 11 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=I noticed about the stats, you are right. Okay, thanks for putting the sprites, you are very good with coding. There are the screenshots of the descripitions. I did various to see all letters. [http://s1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj606/MateusinhoEX/]}}

Sorry, that's still the wrong one. Go to the MAIN stats screen, NOT the Limit Form stats screen, and move the cursor down to the Limit Form. Do you know what I'm saying?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 00:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

{{MEX|time=12:03, 11 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Strange. That's what I've done. Entered status on the main menu, then, put on Limit Form and retrived a screenshot of it. You are sure it isn't right? The first letters are the same of the Limit Form. Here:リミット技を使いこなすフォームです.}}

Let me be sure. You went to the Stats screen, selected Sora's name, scrolled down to the purple item with the word リミット , and it still said that?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 13:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

{{MEX|time=15:58, 11 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=OH. Now I understand. First I have to enter into Sora's status. It' because the other status descriptions I got needed only to enter into status screen. I didn't knew that. This time I will get it right.}}

{{MEX|time=15:58, 11 February, 2012 (UTC)|text=Is there a way to make the sprite change along with the image in the box, instead of putting all of them together?}}
