PipeProject talk:RPG items & badges

Since Badges were an issue for each game as well, I combined Yoshi Mastar's idea with this to create a good PipeProject. I'll create tables for badges to start, and keep adding Items alphabetically in the Items page (Yoshi Mastar created sections for these games).

Clothing
Technically not badges, this needs to go onto a separate page. Clothing affects HP & DEF in M&L: SS and all stats in M&L:PiT. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 02:23, 28 August 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm missing the Location of the Oho Gear, and the Descriptions and Locations of the Heavy Slacks, Jeanie Jeans, Jeaniest Jeans, Light Slacks, and Safe Guard. Think you could help me out? =/ Monty Mole


 * All right, it's all done, but I'm still missing those things listed above, and I don't have any descriptions for the PiT clothing. Monty Mole 17:49, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Update: I now have the descriptions for the Superstar Saga Clothing mentioned above, but I still need the locations. If anybody knows, please tell me or add it to the template. Monty Mole 21:34, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

Go to www.gamefaqs.com. Click on GBA. Select M, and clcik on Superstar saga, on FAQs. You should find a guide for clothing, or look in a item FAQ.

I have looked on GameFAQs multiple times. I have also gone to Gamestop, IGN, Gamespy, Neoseeker, and Nintendo.com. I have looked through every FAQ in each, and every page of the Mario & Luigi forum in each. I have come up with no locations. If you would like to try, be my guest. Monty Mole 21:43, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

That FAQ/Walkthrough doesn't show the locations of the Clothing. Monty Mole 21:54, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

Look at them all!

 * Referer Link Error
 * On every single HTML page of GameFAQs is the following request:
 * Feel free to link to this page, but not directly to the FAQs.
 * You're seeing this error message because it appears that you're linking from an external site directly to one of the text files stored at GameFAQs. GameFAQs is not a free public file server. Bandwidth costs money, and when sites link directly to files stored on the site, it becomes both a financial and resource drain. We've tried asking, but some sites simply don't care, so now we've implemented a technical solution.


 * We cannot see your link. Also, while the Items FAQ has all the clothing, where they are found is missing. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 22:16, 31 August 2006 (EDT)


 * I forgot you can't direct link. Also, can't you compile a complete list from multiple guides? (If I get M&L: SS, I am going to make a Clothing FAQ)
 * I apologize! "Source" is the location, under In-Depth > Items > VIII Armor. CT is the castle shop and LF Little Fungitown's Shop. What an excellent find, Superchao. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 22:21, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

Badges
I can fill in the tables if you want, Wayoshi. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 10:34, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * You can help fill in the tables & create a Clothing page, which are accessories, but need to go onto a separate page. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 12:00, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Some clothes and badges in Superstar Saga have special effects like "Heavy-G", "Shroom Force", etc. Is there a need for another section to put these in? <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 13:12, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Fantastic work on Clothing, Monty. However, NO. Instead, put numbers like this: 1 ( 1 ) at the end on each effect and list those special effects at the end of the table instead. I'll be deleting those pages you made tomorrow after you've transferred the information. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 22:14, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Oh, yes, sorry. If the special effects are Status ailments, such as Heavy & Light G, they stand. Otherwise, use those notes. ;) Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 22:18, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Dang. Oh, well. Fix-up on the way. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 22:19, 28 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Wait, I don't get it. Where do I put the 1, 2, etc?<font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 22:21, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
 * If the special affect is a status effect, keep the article and link to it in the row from the Clothing page. Put it after the effect (I'll do an example in a minute). Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 22:24, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Template
On the Clothing page, why was it necessary to list the special effects at the bottom? Wouldn't it be easier if they were just listed there? That way there would be less scrolling up and down to find out what that piece of clothing does. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 12:25, 29 August 2006 (EDT)
 * No no no, that's not what I meant. For example, on the last listing, the special effect is "Randomizes gravity". Put a number after the sentence, then explain the effect at the bottom (switches each attack to Heavy, Light and Normal gravity). It's so the effect column doesn't grow too long (ie past one or at max two lines) and those who want an explanation can look at the bottom. I was rushed yesterday, but do you get it now? Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 12:59, 29 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Oh, Okay, I think I've FINALLY got it, lol. I just wanted to know your reasoning beind it. I got it. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 16:03, 29 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Yes you do, exactly. Continue doing the rest of the clothes as such. :) Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 17:07, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Help?
What could I help with? Superchao 17:50, 29 August 2006 (EDT)


 * You'll have to ask Wayoshi. I don't really know. I think some of the Key Items from all the RPGs are lacking pages, however. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 22:18, 29 August 2006 (EDT)
 * For a start, how about adding the names of items, red-linked or not, on Items page, following the precedent format. Wayoshi ( T<tt>&middot;</tt>C<tt>&middot;</tt>@ ) 23:37, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Why me?
I keep getting inquiries on my talk page about when I'm going to do something or should you go ahead and do something. The fact is, while I am on often most of the time, this is not one of those times. And besides that point, as part of a PipeProject, you're supposed to be working together, not wait around for the creator (which I am technically not of the whole project, Yoshi Mastar is) to say go ahead. Monty, work on those badges. Spike, leave some of the parts blank and I'll fill them in when I have time. You don't need to ask me or anyone. That's what a wiki is all about, and we're one of them. Wayoshi ( T<tt>&middot;</tt>C<tt>&middot;</tt>@ ) 18:18, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

Because I have no Idea how to use the dialog box, etc.--Spike 18:20, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

OK, I'll do that. Sorry for causing you so much trouble.--<font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 18:49, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
