Holy Batman
Hey Kayahr. I've been importing information (I'm amazed at just how much information you mined; this might take slightly longer) and Template:Pic anim is up and working. There's one snag, however: Template:Infobox character relies on file name input. I've tried to wrap my head around Template:Infobox to add a field for Pic anim, but my mind was filled with terror when I saw the Matrix-like code Porter uses for his brilliant templates. Do you have an idea on how to integrate your animation engine with the infobox? I remember one of the EVA Database users hacking slides into an older version of Porter's infobox framework, but I'm not sure it applies now.Tagaziel (talk) 12:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know "Porter's infobox framework" but I'll take a look into it in the next days. Maybe I can recognize the blondes and brunettes in the matrix like code. -- Kayahr (talk) 06:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Please take a look at this Test page. It uses a modified copy of the Infobox character template which supports the disk and picture parameters to display the animation. When these parameters are specified then the image parameter is ignored and the real image area is hidden and instead a content row is displayed which shows the animation. So in theory this template should be backward compatible. It may need some additional styling if you want some vertical padding around the image. -- Kayahr (talk) 19:16, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks perfect. I think the current padding is enough, since it also has to accommodate image descriptions. I'll merge the templates and start modifying the pages. M'Atra, there's not enough hours in a day to do everything. Tagaziel (talk) 08:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Almost done and one more thing
Hey K, I'm almost done with the merger. Pretty much every image file and location/encounter data is here. I'm going through the pages now on a page-by-page basis to make sure I didn't miss anything.

By the way, can you do one more thing? I tried importing Template:Infobox character changes you made to Template:Infobox creature but I wager I broke something. Tagaziel (talk) 11:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
