Syntax

{{vendor table row
 | item =
 | icon = 
 | cost =
}}

Parameters

item
The item name
cost
Cost in full eg. "15 gold"
icon
Optional. If not provided, a generic "empty" icon base is used. If abc is provided, item-icon-abc.png is used.

Description

Create a row in the NPC Show table. This will help with adding icons and maintaining consistency across many tables. As better extensions are installed in the wiki, a lot of things also can be automated (ie. picking the correct icon based on the item name).

Guidlines for Uploading and Naming Icons

  • File name MUST be in the form "item-icon-xxxxxx.png" where xxxxxx is a label of your choice.
  • Use a short generic label for generic and common icons. Eg. use "book" not "Fire Magic: Introductory Research" since most skill teaching books have the same book icon, use "seeds" not "dahliaseeds" since most seeds in-game have the same icon.
  • In alpha there are no icons that need more than 256 color. Save the SMALLEST file size , 8 bit PNG.

Examples

The typical usage is to use this in a new article, save, and THEN upload the image by clicking the image link (which then is pre-set with the article name):

{{vendor table row
 | item = Basic Sword
 | cost = 75 gold
 | icon = basicsword
}}

Many generic icons can be used for a variety of items!

{{vendor table row
 | item = Fire Magic: Introductory Research
 | cost = 75 gold
 | icon = book
}}
