Creating your Character

This will be one of the most important steps you do while playing SWC. What you choose here will likely stick with you until your character dies, so have a clear image in your mind as to what sort of character you wish to play.

==Step 1==
Here you can choose to either base your character on a pre-made template, or perform everything manually. For your first time it is suggested that you look through the pre-made template options first to get an idea of what you may need. However, it is best to then go back and run through the whole process manually so you can choose what you want exactly.

==Step 2==
Here there are several options available to you:

===Gender===
Male or Female, pretty easy. This will have no effect on the mechanics of the game (there is no discrepancy between genders like in some other games), other than the server-based images that are available to you. Since you can change this image later at any time, this is an insigificant difference.

===Skill Priorities===
There are five different [[Skills|skill]] categories that you can set a priority for. This will determine that number of skill points you will have available to you to use in those skill areas. These are as follows:

{|
|-
| Priority | Skill Points
|-
| 1 || 14
|-
| 2 || 10
|-
| 3 || 8
|-
| 4 || 6
|-
| 5 || 4
|}

===Race===
This is where you choose which race of creatures you would like to play as. A drop down box gives a list of all the playable races. Selecting one will give you some relevant details about that race, as well as an image of what a member of that race would look like.

====Force Probability====
This is the chance that you will be sensitive to the [[Force]]. The highest value obtained by a starting character is 6%. As you can see, planning on being able to use the Force is not a good strategy - many players spend years playing and still are not sensitive to the Force.

====HP Bonus, Race Multiplier====
These 2 values are used in the [[HP]] equations to determine how much health you start off with. Larger numbers mean more health.

====Skill Bonuses====
These are extra points that will be put into the skills listed. Because of the way skills work, if you want to max out a skill at character creation, you will need to find a race that has at least one skill bonus point in that skill.

====Race Restrictions====
Several races are limited in what vehicles and ships they can actually use. Though they cannot stop you playing, they do provide a larger challange to play than races without such restrictions. However, they generally have better stats elsewhere to make up for this shortfall.

====Terrain Restrictions====
This lists which terrain types that that race cannot move on without assistance. In general, all races cannot move on Gas Terrain and Volcanic Terrain. Most cannot move on Oceanic Terrain, but there are a few aquatic races that can.

==Step 3==

===Assigning Skillpoints===

Skills are arranged into 5 different catagories. General, Science, Social, Space and Ground. In this section, you are assigned a number of skillpoints based off how you prioritised your skills in the previous step. These skill points must be spent before you can continue with creating your character.

Skill points can be assigned using the combo box at the end of each skill. In that box, you can select which level you would like your character to be, with the skill points that level will cost.

[[File:assignskills.png]]

Some races have bonuses in different skills. In the event that you are upgrading a skill which your race has a bonus, your character will start with those skills and will receive a discount for any future skill purchases. If your character has a level 2 race bonus in a certain skill, and you upgrade that skill, you will receive a discount of 2 skill points to offset the cost of skills received through the race bonus.

Contacting the leader of a faction you wish to join before attempting this step will help you focus your skill points on skills which will benefit you in the path you wish to take.

==Step 4==

===Description and Biography===

All information entered on this page can be edited through the Character pages, however, before you start you must provide a description and biography for your character.

This can be as brief or complex as you like, but must follow the guidelines shown on the page to prevent conflicting information.

You will then be given an option of generic images to use for your character avatar based off your race selection. You may upload your own image after you have completed creating your character if you wish.

==Step 5==

===Confirmation===

This is the final point in which you will be able to edit your skills, race and gender. If any of these are not how you would like your character to be, then this is your chance to go back and change it.

If you change your mind after you continue from this point, the only way you can change these is by killing off your character. This brings a 3 week 'death wait' before you can respawn.

==Step 6==

===Starting Locations===

'''It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join a faction before taking this step'''

Once your character has been created, you will see the standard Members page. You should be able to place your character at a variety of starting locations.

If you have not joined a faction before this point, you will be given the option to spawn in a starport on your character's race homeworld. If you have decided to join a faction before spawning, you will also have the option to spawn at one of their headquarters. Once you have spawned, your character is active and you can explore the galaxy.

Firstly, welcome to the Star Wars Combine (SWC). It is likely that you have already created your account, but there are several important points below that you should keep in mind.

==First Page==
When you click the link to join, the first page displays the terms and conditions for the game. Also, take note of the [[Multi Account]] warning just below. Players in Star Wars Combine (SWC) are allowed one account only, and therefore one character. Due to the nature of the game, having multiple accounts can give a significant and unfair advantage to those players. SWC is based around communities of players, and making multiple accounts to by-pass this is treated harshly.

It is permissible for multiple players to access SWC on the same Internet connection, however they must register themselves as such, in order that the administration can accurately track the player base. Please note that this type of account will be checked, as well as other accounts that appear on the same IP, and any determined to be owned by the same player will be banned for a set period of time (usually 30 days).

==Second Page==
This is where you set up the various details of your account, and your first character's name.

===Character Handle===
This is what you would like to have as your character's name. It is also what you use to log in to SWC. There are a series of [http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Character_Creation#Select_Handle handle rules] which you should be aware of. Any accounts that have names that do not meet these requirements will be rejected out of hand, necessitating that you re-apply.

===E-mail===
This is the email where your confirmation will be sent.

===Personal Information===
These sections are not required, and will not be viewable by other players unless you wish to allow them to do so.

===Contact Information===
Like personal information, this is not required and will not be viewable unless you allow it.

===Other Information===
Though not required, the drop down box helps the administration to determine which method is the best to advertise the game in order to obtain new players.

The 'multi' text box is for those new players that will be using the same Internet connection as an existing player. Enter the existing player's handle in the box (separate with a comma if there are multiple players) and the administration will look into it and add you as necessary.

Facility Income

2011-02-23T14:42:41Z

Jenos: /* Which facilities can create income? */

'''FI''' is short for Facility income. There are several facilities in [[Star Wars Combine]] which can give the owner or manager an credit income on a monthly base. Facility Income can go to a character or to a faction.

== Which facilities can create income? ==
Currently only facilities on planets do create an income. Here is a list of the facilities, that can create an monthly income:

== Which conditions need to be fulfilled in order to receive an income? ==
To receive a monthly income from a facility. several conditions must be met.

The facility's crewlist must be set Open To All.

The facility must have an operator and that operator must be active (logged in within the past week).

The facility must have a manager. If the manager is a player, he or she must be active.

The facility must be powered.

== Who receives the income? ==
The income always goes to the manager of a facility. Note that there are some facilities needing a special manager in order to create an income.

These are:

ATM, Bank : Banking Faction

Chapel, Church, Temple, Cathedral : Religious Faction

Hospital : Medical Faction

Starport : Transport or Government Faction

== How is income calculated? ==
There are several variables determining if the income from a facility is positive and how large it is.

'''Income = 350 * FIM * PIM * TSM * SBR * RAND'''

The above used variables stand for:

FIM = Facility income modifier

PIM = Planetary income modifier

TSM = Trade Skill Modifier

SBR = Sustainable Business Restrictions

RAND = Random number between 0.9 and 1.1

Each facility has a Facility Income Modifier. For example a Casino shall create more income then a simple Personal Residence. This number is not revealed to the users and determines how large income of a facility can be compared to other facilities. Furthermore planetary statistics like population or employment rate have influence on the income a facility can create. A planet with only some hundred inhabitants may not have a need for a starport, so the income of said starport shall be lower then the income of one on a fully developed planet with millions of population. This aspect is accommodated with the Planetary Income Modifier. Also the success of making positive income may be limited to the economic knowledge of the operator. His skills are regarded in the Trade Skill modifier. But what happens if a planet prospers and skilled investors try to increase their income with placing more profitable facilities on a planet? Let us say a planet has enough people to provide a casino with a decent income. Now a tycoon starts to lay down more Casinos. He may create a larger supply, then the market demands. As a result the income of each Casino must be smaller then before. The Sustainable Business Restrictions try to take care of the problem and reduces income of each facility, if the offers are larger then the demands of the market. Last but not least there are some variables, which cannot be fully modelled and they are contained in the random number.

Travel

Jenos:

Travel is the variety of actions you can perform that makes your character move around the game worlds. There are a variety of different travel methods, and these are listed below.

==Set Travel==
This type of travel uses a set time or distance that does not vary whenever you use this method of travel. It also requires less knowledge (generally) of your destination than for Variable Travel.

===Cross Terrain===
This type of travel involves moving between different city or terrain squares on a planets surface. This is performed by the following set of instructions:

* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit] or [Position], depending on whether you are in a ship/vehicle or on foot.
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Choose [Cross-Terrain] button to the left side, under the main map view.
* Choose the terrain/city square that is next to your current one that you wish to travel to.
* Click [Accept] and your travel will begin.

You can only initiate this type of travel when you are on the very edge of the city/terrain square (ie at (0,0), or (21,4) etc). You will not have the [Cross-Terrain] option if you are not. Also, planet terrains do no 'wrap-around' so if you are on the northern most terrain square on a planet (say, (0,0)), you will not be able to move north and appear at the terrain square at the bottom of the column, and nor does that work horizontally.

The distance is fixed at 200km between city/terrain squares, so travel time will vary depending on how fast you/your ship/your vehicle can travel at.

===Ascend/Descend===
This type of travel is used when moving to and from a planets surface. There are 2 steps, where you move from the planet's surface to the atmosphere level, and then a further jump from there to orbit, which is in the system layer where you can move around the rest of the system (see later). This is performed by the following set of instructions:

'''Planet Surface -> Atmosphere'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Choose [Ascend] button next to the ETA counter and [Accept] button.

'''Atmosphere -> Orbit'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Planet] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the [Orbit] button roughly in the center of the screen.

'''Orbit -> Atmosphere'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Descend] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the map to the right where you would like to land.
* Click the [Accept] button.

'''Atmosphere -> Planet Surface'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Descend] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the map to the right where you would like to land.
* Click the [Accept] button.

All four modes of transport can be performed by any ship that has Flight-Grade Repulsorlifts equipped. Vehicles that have Flight-Grade Repulsorlifts equipped can only ascend to the Atmosphere and descend from there to the Planet's Surface. Travel time for all four modes is 1 hour, regardless of the speed of your ship/vehicle.

==Variable Travel==
These modes of travel differ depending on what vehicle/ship you have, and your skill in piloting.

===Room Travel===

Room travel is travelling within a facility or ship. Travel between rooms is instantaneous and can be achieved by clicking on the room which you wish to travel to. You can only travel to rooms which are connected to the room you are in with a doorway.

Travel can be impeded by doors, which can be installed by a toolkit. If a door is installed within a doorway, you will need either a password, a keycard containing the password, or an electronic lock breaker in order to bypass it.

Passwords can be reset at any time by the owner of entity the door is within.

There are 6 different room types:

{| Border="1"
|-
| [[File:Normal.gif|Normal Room]] || Normal Room - No special features.
|-
| [[File:Hangar.gif|Hangar Bay]] || Hangar Bay - Can board Vehicles stored within the entity here.
|-
| [[File:Docking.gif|Docking Bay]] || Docking Bay - Can board Ships stored within the entity here.
|-
| [[File:Entrance.gif|Entrance/Exit]] || Entrance/Exit Room - Can leave the entity/board nearby entities from here.
|-
| [[File:Cockpit.gif|Cockpit]] || Cockpit - Can enter the cockpit/building management page (If piloting the entity).
|-
| [[File:Medical.gif|Medical Room]] || Medical Room - Bacta tanks can be deployed here.
|}

===Ground Travel===

Ground travel is travelling within a city or on a terrain square. It can be accessed through both the position screen whilst on foot, or through the cockpit if at ground level in a ship or vehicle. Ground Travel allows you to travel through the streets of a city, or across terrain. Each 'Block' is 1km2 making terrain squares approximately 22km2 and facilities within cities enormous sprawling complexes many kilometres wide.

If on foot, travelling to another block can be achieved by clicking that block and clicking the "'''Go'''" button. Travelling on foot is very slow, due to the scale of the cities, and can often take hours to reach your destination.

If in a ship or a vehicle, travelling to another block can be achieved by selecting '''Travel''' >> '''City/Terrain''' >> Selecting the block from the lower map then clicking the "'''Go'''" button. Ships and Vehicles are restricted to 200km/h within cities, however, can travel at their full speed in open terrain.

===Atmospheric Travel===

Atmospheric travel is travelling within the atmosphere of a planet. It allows you to travel to other cities without cross terrain or ascending to orbit.

Certain vehicles can ascend to atmosphere, if they have the "Flight-Grade Repulsorlifts" trait.

To travel in atmosphere, you need to be in the atmosphere level of a planet, then '''Travel''' >> '''Atmosphere''' >> Select the terrain from the lower map, then click the "'''Go'''" button.

===Sublight Travel===

Sublight travel allows you to travel within a system. It can only be achieved by ships within the Space layer (orbit of a planet).

To travel within a system, you need to be in a system, in the cockpit of a ship, and click '''Travel''' >> '''Sublight''' >> Select the space or planet from the lower map, then click the "'''Go'''" button.

'''CAUTION''' Flying into suns can seriously harm your health, your ship and all occupants. Flying into suns, or 'Sunning', will kill your character and heavily damage the ship you are flying.

Also, planet terrains do no 'wrap-around' so if you are on the northern most terrain square on a planet (say, (0,0)), you will not be able to move north and appear at the terrain square at the bottom of the column, and nor does that work horizontally.

The distance is fixed at 200km between city/terrain squares, so travel time will vary depending on how fast you/your ship/your vehicle can travel at.

===Ascend/Descend===
This type of travel is used when moving to and from a planets surface. There are 2 steps, where you move from the planet's surface to the atmosphere level, and then a further jump from there to orbit, which is in the system layer where you can move around the rest of the system (see later). This is performed by the following set of instructions:

'''Planet Surface -> Atmosphere'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Choose [Ascend] button next to the ETA counter and [Accept] button.

'''Atmosphere -> Orbit'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Planet] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the [Orbit] button roughly in the center of the screen.

'''Orbit -> Atmosphere'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Descend] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the map to the right where you would like to land.
* Click the [Accept] button.

'''Atmosphere -> Planet Surface'''
* ::Controls::
* Click [Enter Cockpit].
* Choose the [Travel] option in the center tool bar.
* Click the [Descend] button to the left, under the map view.
* Click the map to the right where you would like to land.
* Click the [Accept] button.

All four modes of transport can be performed by any ship that has Flight-Grade Repulsorlifts equipped. Vehicles that have Flight-Grade Repulsorlifts equipped can only ascend to the Atmosphere and descend from there to the Planet's Surface. Travel time for all four modes is 1 hour, regardless of the speed of your ship/vehicle.

==Variable Travel==
These modes of travel differ depending on what vehicle/ship you have, and your skill in piloting.

===Room Travel===

Room travel is travelling within a facility or ship. Travel between rooms is instantaneous and can be achieved by clicking on the room which you wish to travel to. You can only travel to rooms which are connected to the room you are in with a doorway.

Travel can be impeded by doors, which can be installed by a toolkit. If a door is installed within a doorway, you will need either a password, a keycard containing the password, or an electronic lock breaker in order to bypass it.

Passwords can be reset at any time by the owner of entity the door is within.

There are 6 different room types:

{| Border="1"
|-
| [[File:Normal.gif|Normal Room]] || Normal Room - No special features.
|-
| [[File:Hangar.gif|Hangar Bay]] || Hangar Bay - Can board Vehicles stored within the entity here.
|-
| [[File:Docking.gif|Docking Bay]] || Docking Bay - Can board Ships stored within the entity here.
|-
| [[File:Entrance.gif|Entrance/Exit]] || Entrance/Exit Room - Can leave the entity/board nearby entities from here.
|-
| [[File:Cockpit.gif|Cockpit]] || Cockpit - Can enter the cockpit/building management page (If piloting the entity).
|-
| [[File:Medical.gif|Medical Room]] || Medical Room - Bacta tanks can be deployed here.

If you are looking to help update this Guide Wiki in order to help out, please read the follow information before making any changes.

==Working on the Wiki==
If you wish to help out on the wiki, please create a new account using your [[SWC]] handle. This helps the administration to reward those players that help out considerably. There are two things you can do to pages, Edit or Create.

===Editing===
Likely you will be primarily editing pages that have already been created. All changes can be removed and the original work restored so don't worry about being able to destroy everything. Then again, if you don't know what you are doing please refrain for editing as it just creates more work for others.

Click the 'Edit' link at the top of each page to open the editing window. You will see special codes which if you are not used to wiki's may be wierd. See the relevant section below for more information on the codes. When editing, you can type where ever you want to fix spelling errors, or add additional information. If you are making minor changes, such as adding links, or fixing errors, please tick the 'minor edit' check box just above the save page button.

If you are making a link to another wiki page, please check that you have the right page name. In wiki's names are very sensitive so 'The Force', 'the force', 'Force' and 'force' will all go to separate pages (these can be linked to one later however). If you are unsure of the correct page name, please do not insert a link and the moderators will do that for you.

===Creating===
You create a new page when you click on a red link that appear on an already present page. This will allow you to enter in information and create the page. When making a new page, please be aware of other similar pages to get a feel for the layout and style of the system we use.

If you are making a new page, please read up on the different formating styles there are (below) in order to have the page look presentable after you finish. If you are unsure about anything, leave it formating-free and one of the moderators will be around and fix it up. Once you have typed everything up, it is best to copy all the text before pressing the [Save page] button. This is because you may have lost your net connection or something else that prevents your page from being saved on the wiki, and having to re-type everything is not something you will want to go through.

If you are making a link to another wiki page, please check that you have the right page name. In wiki's names are very sensitive so 'The Force', 'the force', 'Force' and 'force' will all go to separate pages (these can be linked to one later however). If you are unsure of the correct page name, please do not insert a link and the moderators will do that for you.

Also, images are a useful visual method to show what you are talking about. Please ensure that any images on your page are not too large that they take up the whole space - use thumbnails to give a smaller image which can then be clicked onto get a larger one. See the 'Images' section below.

===Images===
On the wiki, we can upload images to be used on pages to give a visual indication of what the text is explaining. When making images to complement text, please use the Dark Blue theme skin on SWC, and ensure all icons and text are set to normal size. This is to ensure that everything is consistant and allow reference for players from one page to another.

Also, please ensure that you use the minimum area required to show off what you want. Please no full-screen captures just posted in. Use an image editing software (like Photoshop) to cut out the area of the screen you need. Please save images in .png format to avoid too much loss in quality. When saving, please make the name of the image relevant to what you have an image about. Saving as 'Image1.png' helps no-one. Saving as 'Pevent.gif' is Personal Event icon.

Use the Upload file link on the left to upload your image. Once you have uploaded the image it will give you the file name (it will make sure that the first letter is capitalised). To use the image, you will need the image formating:

<code> Add image {{File:Pevent.png}}
Replace the {} with the square brackets [] </code>

You can also add extra bits onto the end, and these are explained below.

==Commands==
Wiki's have special formating tags they use, and the more common ones you may need are as follows (replace () with [] and replace ` with ' in the following codes):

{| Border="1"
|-
| ``italic`` || ''italic'' || makes text italic
|-
| ```bold``` || '''bold''' || makes text bold
|-
| ((IRC)) || [[IRC]] || makes a link to a wiki page
|-
| ((IRC|I love me)) || [[IRC|I love me]] || makes a link to a wiki page, but with the text 'I love me' showing on the page rather than IRC
|-
| (http://mylink.com My Link) || [http://mylink.com My Link] || Provides a link to an extrnal site, with the text My Link being highlighted
|-
| ((File:Veyhead.png)) || [[File:Veyhead.png]] || shows an image hosted on the wiki site with that name
|-
| ((File:Veyhead.png|right|My Pictures)) || [[File:Veyhead.png|right|My Pictures]] || as above, but you can say where on the page it goes (left, right, center), and text to be shown on the tooltip
