Item Description Help
By: Aeroblyctos Date: March 19, 2011, 6:23 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hey.
I'm searching for someone who has a lot of patience and free
time to help me to update the item description. The job is
pretty easy, but it needs at least average English skills(better
than mine) to fix possible grammar errors.
The job is to convert old item descriptions to new ones. I'll do
the synthesis items myself, but I'm asking you to do all basic
items and item sets. The job will take a lot of time depending
how fast you are. This is not just one night thing. But hey,
I've been doing this campaign like 3 years or something.
There are two different type old description. "Old" and "very
old".
Here's an example of old converting:
[spoiler]
OLD:
|c00FEBA0E+150 to |cff3C3CFFMana|r
|c00FEBA0E+5 |cffFF0000Strength|r
|c00FEBA0E+5 |cff00FF00Agility|r
|c00FEBA0E+5 |cff3C3CFFIntellect|r
|cff6495edOccasionally summons an elemental golem with 500 hit
points to help the wielder.
|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare
|c00FEBA0EClassification: |c0020C000Jewel
|c00FEBA0EStory: |c0020C000-|c00FEBA0E.|r
NEW:
|c00FEBA0E+150 Mana
+5 All Stats
|cff6495edOccasionally summons an elemental golem with 500 hit
points to help the wielder.
|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare
...If there are all three stats then you can simply put "+All
Stats". Saves a lot of space.
[/spoiler]
Here's an example of very old converting:
[spoiler]
VERY OLD:
Increases the attack damage of the Hero by 15 when worn. Also,
the basic attacks deal an additional 2% of wielder's max Mana in
damage. |c00FEBA0E|nQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare|c00FEBA0E.
|nClassification: |c0020C000Item Set (1/6)|c00FEBA0E. |nStory:
|c0020C000-|c00FEBA0E.|r
NEW:
|c00FEBA0E+15 Damage
|cff6495edAlso, the basic attacks deal an additional 2% of
wielder's max Mana in damage.
|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare
|c00FEBA0EItem Set: 1/2
...Also the special text could need some improvements...
...Item sets always have that "|c00FEBA0EItem Set: X/X"...
[/spoiler]
You'll need this list to do things:
[spoiler]
Armor
All Stats
Strength
Agility
Intellect
Health
Health Regen
Mana
Mana Regen
Damage
Magic Damage
Attack speed
Critical Damage
Steal Chance
Evasion
Experience
Gold
Vitality
Luck
|c00959697Normal
|c007EBFF1Rare
|c00FFFC01Unique
|c00FF8000Epic
|c00FF0303Legendary
|c008500CCMyth
[/spoiler]
Additional notes:
- All special things goes to same place. If it's possible and
there are more than one special thing try to make one special
thing in one sentence and another in second sentence.
[spoiler]
|c00FEBA0E+160 Damage
+25 All stats
|cff6495edEvery attack has a 25% chance to increase wielder's
agility, intelligence and strength stats by 6 for 30 seconds.
This effect can stack up to five times. Every 15th attack the
sword heals the wielder by 1000 or deals 1000 damage to the
attacked unit.
|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c00FF8000Epic
[/spoiler]
- Try to make special things very understanding and short as
possible.
- Try to make descriptions easy to read and small.
If you want to help me, download the latest version of the
campaign, open it by World Editor, go to:
=> Campaign screen => Custom Data => Items
There are two categories which should be updated: Permanent and
Miscellaneous. I'm talking about the "under categories", don't
care about the upper categories they are "original items" from
basic Warcraft 3 game.
I'll do Power Up myself which is Synthesis Items. Make your
descriptions to a notepad or just simply put the text here.
Remember to frequently give me your texts because I'll check if
you are doing it correctly. It would be stupid to give me
everything and then you must fix.
Please ask me anything about this request. I'm sure you'll be
credited gloriously!

The 1st line in the Magic Orb's description is too vague.
"+X% critical damage". It increases the damage dealt by crits,
right?
Anyway, here are some tooltips:

Hey.
Yeah, crit dmg is Critical Damage.
You must exactly do things as I have given otherwise this won't
work. We must go exactly as the formula says. You must put the
right codes to there also.

OK, so... Please add the codes of the colour of each stat to the
OP.

Now we are moving forward, but still there are some problems.
1) You forgot "|c00FEBA0E" from the beginning.
2) You forgot "|cff6495ed" before the special thing.
3) You made things too hasty, and didn't check what quality it
was. It wasn't "Rare", it was "Unique", meaning the color must
be also changed.
4) Also if we go really accurate, I would put Intellect after
Armor, so that "Mana Regen" and "Mana" are closer. It somehow
looks to me more logical.
Your version:

This is very, very accurate job. Everything must be perfect. But
once you get the idea, it goes really fast making these
descriptions. I'm at the moment doing Synthesis Items. There
things aren't so simple because they have really long
descriptions and I'm remaking some and making some more.

Then you should rearrange the order of the stats in the OP
exactly as you want. That makes things easier.

Yeah, well. I'm sometimes too "perfectionist". I edited the
original post and rearranged the list.
Heh...
[spoiler]Armor
All Stats
Strength
Agility
Intellect
Health
Health Regen
Mana
Mana Regen
Damage
Magic Damage
Attack speed
Critical Damage

Okay. Now you guys must decide. Who will do what? How much? Etc?
To Chimto:
Good, good.
There are some problems:
- Color coding is wrong
- There's a dot after quality and item set. There shouldn't be.

I have also attached to the original post a link to map I use to
test if the descriptions are fine. I occasionally test that if
I'm doing correct job. I think you should do that too. I've been
doing this whole day item descriptions.
EDIT: Hohoo, I just made first MYTH ITEM!
