Interactive map[]

First I need to see a demonstration of your skills, preferable a map on the Horizon wiki then or similar. What I noticed you don't have any edits over there so at the moment you can understand I have doubts. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

https://fo4horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AllMaps - i have created all of these maps and would like to share the basic 3; Commonwealth, Far Harbor, Nuka-World. Qrsr (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
I've taken a gander at the feature, and if we should use it, it needs a certain standard. Just adding many pins on an empty, bland map doesn't meet the quality standards. I've added the Commonwealth map here, in dark green, with the map markers. I've added a few pins, and these pins must be categorized (done that). You can find the categories on Fallout 4 map page. I'm willing to grant you rights, but you must use this map and change the colors of each category to make them distinguishable. If you accept, I'll grant you temporary rights, which may extend if your work is good. I'll keep an eye on things. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Thats a very smart solution using the preset of FO4 BUT this map is missing the DLC (addon) POI (map marker). Isnt there a more up to date version? i have used this map in past, i was under the impression not all map markers are on that map. Qrsr (talk) 16:10, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
No, not all map markers are on it. Among others, Nuka-World transit center, The Institute (location) and Nakano residence, probably more are missing. You can add at least those 3 using the map markers on the pages and add them to the map if you want. Re-uploading the updated map should leave the pins already placed intact.

Thx for the headsup.Qrsr (talk) 16:26, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

( Just gave you rights. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Thx! Addendum: Uploading an updated image is not a problem if scaling is equal. Its not a problem either to write code for the offset, in case the map is a bit out of space. Note: fandom is implementing image support in the next release(es), thus i might be worth to keep that in mind and use a blanked page. Which then would include the appropiate POI as image. Similar to this: https://fallout-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_map Qrsr (talk) 16:32, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Whatever having the map markes in place is the most important step. the user can very quickly change offset via visual editor, totally forgot about that, lol. Qrsr (talk) 16:58, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
So i had to override the previous map and will now start to properly set colors and links to all locations.Qrsr (talk) 20:20, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

( I've added The Island and Nuka-World map. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:58, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Thx, done. I will add the proper categories later. If you can please upload a better map image of "The Island" with 2048² sizing. Some map markers are missing. Qrsr (talk) 17:55, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Unmarked locations[]

I believe we can integrate unmarked locations into a special (standalone) page. Since these are not part of vanilla FO4. The map itself is overgrown with marked locations already +300. Even more will affect performance (load, stuttering) of the map on various browsers. Since fandom currently doesn't offer any option to hide "filters" we should think about splitting marked/unmarked locations.Qrsr (talk) 04:20, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Settlement[]

The designation settlement in the top of the infobox depends on what is given as type. If that is "settlement", the infobox's header is <game> settlement. It doesn't matter if it's a Fallout 4 settlements or not. It already stems from Fallout 3. If the page is an official Fallout 4 settlement, it doesn't always says in the header it's a settlement, for the same reason mentioned as before; it is not "settlement" as the type. I changed the Institute pages again btw, they're sections, part of a building, not unmarked. I know it reads unmarked, that should be changed yeah. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

the data/text is automatically generated via the {{infobox location}}, you can easily change the template for it. as of now the type you set overrides the icon and sets the headline. Qrsr (talk) 15:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
One of the technical guys is looking at the template. Look like we'll probably have to split that parameter, as it sets both the icon and the header subtopic. In the case of the pages you showed, it make one or the other incorrect. One the exact fix is determined, and the template updated, there may be quite a few pages to update to reflect these changes. TheGunny2.0 (talk) 18:30, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
I can help out with updating the pages, no hassle. Thx for taking care! Qrsr (talk) 18:35, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Magazines[]

The Commonwealth map already has so many markers, best to create a new map for the magazines with some reference map markers. Not sure what you want with Nuka-World and The Island, if you have unmarked locations for them, you can add those. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Anything worthwile concerning Nuka-World and The Island, Power Armor Frames etc. I think it makes sense to move the current map to Fo4 Commonwealth, etc. I would simply go for Fo4 Commonwealth Loot. Qrsr (talk) 15:41, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, make a separate map for (notable) loot, that is ok. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Sounds good. What about the move to "Map:Fo4 Commonwealth"? fo1/fo2 specific maps did so lately. Qrsr (talk) 22:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Ok, you can move those. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:44, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
I decided to go for seperate maps, since 100+ locations already create lag on fandom. Since fandom doesnt allow to "hide" filters when a map is transcluded, it would become an location overkill quite fast. Maps can be easily merged, when more interactive maps features are available though. Qrsr (talk) 23:50, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Creation Kit[]

There is already a wiki for the Creation Kit, https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Landing_page. Best to turn your attention to that I think. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:09, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Superb. I totally forgot about it. Thanks. Qrsr (talk) 14:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
