Template talk:Inventory2

This was a great idea as well, eh. Perhaps making Backpack slots will be easier? I'll try to make it.                  CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]

For backpack slots, I would recommend 2 separate templates (Template:Backpack and Template:BackpackSlot), the first for the backpack (complete with the little backpack image at the top), and the second as the actual slots (most likely using some of the code from this template). You're welcome to work on it, but if you want, I can get to it later tonight right before I finish up an updated Sortable List of Rings.

I totally don't get it. You're gonna have to do it.                  CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]

I've got something cooking... don't know if I'll be able to get it perfected tonight, but should be ready by sometime tomorrow. It's going to be real complicated though.

Ok, here's the big issue.... I cannot use templates as a template variable, so the template in a template approach won't work. My next option is to just make several templates of variable length strings of ItemBox's and force people to put several of those into their page and write their own code for anything around it (probably the most versatile approach). The final option would be to just make the template as the standard 4x3 boxes of a full page of the backpack. After that, it's just a question of whether or not I want to code in the page linking or not.

That's basically what I thought in the beginning; that you'd have to make 12 templates or so.                  CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]
