Forum:Nightmare Stats Infobox

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Nightmare Stats Infobox

Okay, I think you guys are starting to get used to me working on templates. I kinda like it XD. This time I'm working on four different templates at the same time, two of them for improvement of the Dream Eater pages. I am very happy people liked my first infobox, the Drive Forms one. So, those memories apart, I made an Infobox, for the nightmare stats, with three examples. This is more complicated than the Drive Forms and Items boxes, so I need your opinions and tips on how to improve it to be used. I put the whole Enemy infobox on the page, so, you can see the box as a whole. Please, take a look on the stats tabs and tell me what you guys think of it. - MateusinhoEX - 15:02, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Looks pretty good. My only question is, what are the levels about? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 23:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Like in BBS it's the combat level from the world selection screen. It's incorporated into the template because it rises after sealing the keyhole, something that is disregarded in the BBS template and but also used in the KHII template. ShardofTruth 12:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Neumannz. Thanks for explaining it, Shard. I still need info of a boss to make an example with one, tough. - MateusinhoEX - 14:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I made an example of a boss for you and I noticed a few problems. First, the Stats tab doesn't show up if you don't add DDDfire (the Fire stat for Sprits). Second, The Resist box comes next to the world name if you don't add a second combat level. TheSilentHero (talk) 09:37, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I think I know how to solve it. I will need to make a different box, one with another parameters. I think we can DDDB, as Spirits uses DDDS, Nightmares DDDN and Rare Nightmares DDDR. Then, the infobox could have different stats. But, in fact, the bosses also appear in two levels Silent. Remember the Secret Portals? I just need to know in which level they appear in these Portals. About DDDfire it's easy to solve, don't worry. - MateusinhoEX - 13:18, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

The Secret Portals have other base stats, just like Rare Dream Eaters. And not all bosses have Secret Portals. TheSilentHero (talk) 13:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 10:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC) Here is a scan of a boss page that I have at hand at the moment. There are some things that are important here: Not all bosses are Dream Eaters, though Tyranto Rex is also a boss appart from being a normal Dream Eater Some bosses appear in Secret Portals with different stats in different places, other appear a second time with different stats in the same place and some only appear one time. This is especially complicated for bosses that appear on both sides. For example the Wargoyle on Sora's side has a first, a second and a Secret Portal appearance while the Wargoyle on Riku's side only has a normal and a Special Portal appearace. These five apperances have all different stats. The bosses have two additional stats (リアクション耐久徳 & リアリティ耐久値倍率) that influence the battle and drop mechanic in a way that is not explained by the game (or by the lazy Bradygames staff for that matter) and makes things overly complicated, so they should be left out for now.

Okay, so it's clearly the bosses needs a variation of the infobox. This would solve the problem of Tyranto Rex, which would have all types of necessary boxes. I will use DDDBS for Sora's side bosses and DDDBR for Riku's side bosses. For variations, maybe we could use DDDBS2/DDDBR2, something like that. Now some questions:

1. Which exactly changes with each variation? Just the level or the base stats? Each variation appear in different levels, or do they appear in the same level? I mean, not all variations in the same level, but each one in only one level.
2. We could use different tabs for each variation, maybe numbered 1, 2, 3, in the order of appearance. Then, in the tab of the Secret Portal variation, we could write in worlds the name of the world and (Secret Portal) in front of it. (eg: Traverse Town (Secret Portal)). the same could apply to rare Nightmares and Special Portals.
