Passive skills?
Should we just have some global image to use for all passive skills? The box could just be solid black with the text "passive". --Steax 03:19, 30 May 2008 (MDT)
- Instead of the 'No Image' one? that might make it a bit easier to discern which skills are in need of images and which arent. (though keep in mind, some passive skills such as Discount actually do have a relevant image.) --Biochemistness-76 12:20, 30 May 2008 (MDT)
- Yeah, that's what I meant. Passive skills shouldn't use a "no image" image, because most of them don't even have them. We could set up a single image for them. But would it need to be copied into each of the skill images' location? --Steax 19:42, 30 May 2008 (MDT)
- I've modified Template:Skill Info slightly to have different behavior for passive skills with no image. (see Axe Mastery). Deploying this for all the pages would mean deleting the 'No Image' image for each passive skill using it. --Biochemistness-76 20:10, 30 May 2008 (MDT)
- Honestly I would think that it depends on the skill. For example, Peco Peco Ride. Passive skill, however it allows you to get the war chicken. This is just one of those things that might best be done on a case by case basis. --KristianRose-3896 22:47, 8 June 2008 (MDT)

Some standardization
I've been thinking about making some standards for skill images. For example:
- There should be no HP/SP bar (use alt+end)
- If it's an attacking skill, make sure there's something being attacked (currently trap skills don't show them doing what they do, for example)
- If it's a supportive skill that can be used on someone else, then do it one someone (and not yourself)
- Please use moderate efficiency on the skill. (Like that OI on a poring doing 12 damage, lol)
Anything else? I'm preparing images for ka-, es-, and the ninja magic skills. --Steax 20:17, 8 June 2008 (MDT)
- Also, from some chatter on the IRC last night:
- 160px wide x 100px high (also, rounded corners. Template available here - http://irowiki.org/wiki/Image:Skill_image_template.gif)
- No cast text box if possible. (Granted some people can't get around it, but if you can, please exclude it.)
- The cleanest images are taken with no editing on the zoom If you play in 800x600, this is fully zoomed out. if you play in other resolutions, you'll have to play around with things a bit to find the right level of zoom within the client. Immediately after taking the picture, paste it into an image editor. FYI, Print Screen not only captures the RO screenshot jpeg, but also copies the entire screen to the Windows Clipboard.
- And that OI skill image - I've already fixed that. While amusing, it makes the skill look worthless. --KristianRose-3896 22:51, 8 June 2008 (MDT)
Only one comes to mind that i don't already see on this list:
- Has the skill being used by the class that gets it (ie: Bash by swordsman, not knight or crusader, Throw Stone by thief, etc etc)
Many of the trans skill images (official images) show 2nd class sprites using the trans skills (and as such really need to be redone). --Biochemistness-76 19:30, 9 June 2008 (MDT)
