Talk:Dean MacArthur

Female/Male/Both Formatting

I broke each mission up a bit, just to make it more clear for people that wanted to find gender specific dialog. Basically, I just made each briefing, debriefing, and mission itself sub categories within each mission, in case you want to undo it. Felderburg 21:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

If the dialogs only differ in one word, I think it's easier to just use a slash to show that that word is gender specific. See the guard dialog in the first mission (who cares? Shoot him/her!). Felderburg 23:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Nice idea, but it bulks out the article a bit too much. From what I can tell in the initial contact, for example, the green parts are all the same, so we could use divboxes perhaps in that section. But I'll need to gather a bit more data before attempting it. :3 Sera404 05:09, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I explained it clearly enough. Take the outleveled dialog, for example:

This

Versus:

What's up bro/babe! Look...

I do like the use of boxes, I did that for some of his dialog in Leonard's arc

I do agree, the big issue is making the article not too dang long, which I think the him/her style might work better for some dialogs. But yeah, more data. I only have the female side, myself, and since I only have one villain high enough for the arcs, that's all I'm gonna get for a while... Felderburg 05:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

The outleveled dialogue is small enough that two boxes is OK. However, I used the {{hidden}} template on the initial contact dialogue trees, for an example of what can be done with longer texts.

Additionally, I moved the sandbox from "Dialog Tree" to Dean MacArthur/Dialogue Tree.

Yeah, I used the hidden for some of his stuff in Leonard's arc... sorry about the dialog thing, I wasn't sure where to put it. I put a post on the forums about dialog trees, and what people should do with them, since I think they'll be a major component of future missions. Felderburg 06:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
