MediaWiki:Maintenance
 | This page is under construction over the next few days as I get a fully working suite of tools for people to use, or complete automation to handle this anyways. This page is dedicated to those who have at least read some of my ramblings int the Discord about how I do what I do. This 99% likely applies to only User:ptown2, who I wish has the time and energy to maintain the wiki in the event of an absence on my end. |
Due to how the wiki now functions, it's fairly esoteric for anyone else to keep it up to date when it comes to unit information (complete card and skill data). Because of this, I should at least leave a "guide" on how to keep things up to date in the event I can't. First and foremost, Websamo is configured in a way that it can both depend on the real Housamo app for data and separate itself from it in the event it needs to. Almost all of the following revolves around endpoints that lets Websamo function.
Card data
- In the Discord's #wiki-discussion channel, the dog bot will announce data updates it detects. These happen either every new Japanese day (when the dailies change over), or whenever a change is detected through playing Websamo (simply opening the page will start the check).
- When the bot detects a change, an embed will be posted in #wiki-discussion. The title of the embed has a link to a bot endpoint to list what changes were made on the surface. Look for changes in the Card table (for example: table_name: Card, path:/NUMBER; entries with path:/ are blanket table updates and are kind of a problem to deal with.
- From here, you can throw in any new card IDs into https://app.housamo.xyz/card/CARDID/ to see who that ID corresponds to. There's other ways to do it, but validating a card ID is the easiest this way.
- Another way to obtain card IDs is through https://app.housamo.xyz/card/ itself, selecting a card, then pasting `gstate.scene.metadata.id` into your browser's console. The value returned is the card you're currently viewing's ID.
- After validating who the ID belongs to, consult Template:Transient extended infobox for how to set up a Transient page, and let the wiki handle the rest.
- Repeat for a unit's additional cards (for example, higher rarities).
Quest (information) data
Quest (battle) data
Sadly, detailed quest information (enemy and drop distributions) are currently only a me-thing (that is, my patched version of Housamo allows retrieving and parsing data sent to and from the app. I'll probably never release this or details on how to set it up yourself for many, many reasons). These can always be set up by hand like the good old days before automation, but drop probabilities requires a modified app.
Asset data
Assets such as sprites and voices require an additional bot endpoint to retrieve and parse. This is currently not set up yet, but will be in the next few days. Most of it is already handled, but I need to configure a script to run the scripts properly on invocation.
Scenario data
Luckily, obtaining the scenario datas use the same means of obtaining and parsing as assets, but without the extra step of extracting. This can easily be be done manually, as a simple GET request to specific resources is just enough to get changes to propagate outward to the VN portion of Websamo. This will fall under the above method.
Notes
As a foreward on why this page exists, I feel it's required due to my growing apathy towards Housamo in the event something does happen. I assure you the wiki will remain in the event that something does happen, and when it does, I'll be sure to let the masses know, even though I'm 95% confident it'll die with me because no one else has the will or want to bear the burdens.
As a message to LW or its affiliates: in the event of my complete absence, if you do feel my work is a detriment to Housamo, by all means feel free to prevent it; there's plenty of ways to do it, I'm sure you can find one that will break my work.
