Warning
Score submissions are indefinitely paused until I find a more approachable solution that isn't "manually updating" the leaderboard and showcased builds every single time. Feel free to draw inspiration from showcased builds but be wary that some of them might not be up to date.

  • 🟆 Finished detailing the guide on how-to add new builds. Everything should be explained. I will keep adding to it if there's the necessity to do so
Pb guide f
  • 🟆 Added the possibility to specify in the build exactly how many times each wild should be taken during the run (Example in Flaming Hornet, default value is 1), this is obviously an "optimal" value but shouldn't be considered stricly
Pb mod counter
  • 🟆 If a build has a video associated with it it will now automatically link it in the description of its main page

How to add a new Build

If you have a build that you wish to add for everyone to try out follow this step-by-step guide and if you need any help with the editing you can contact one of the Administrators or ask for help in the comment section below.
❶ - Be sure to have the following:
  • The Name you've given to said build;
  • A short Description like every other currently listed; (in the top right corner of each tab)
  • A screenshot of the Endgame Score Board of one run to add to the Highscores section and to fill all the other fields.
❷ - Create a new page on the wiki by clicking on the corresponding button like shown below:
Ttr pb1


❸ - Insert the Build name as the title of the page:
Ttr pb2


❹ - Once in the editor select the Source Editor up top and copy/paste the following template:
Ttr pb3


Template: 

{{NavBar Update|{{PAGENAME}}|Popular Builds|{{REVISIONDAY2}}|{{REVISIONMONTH}}|{{REVISIONYEAR}}}}
<div class="brighten">
{{Build Tab
|<!-- ID -->
|<!-- NAME -->{{PAGENAME}}
|<!-- EDIT -->{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}}}
|<!-- SIGNATURE -->
|<!-- PATCH -->
|<!-- PHOTO -->[[File:BUILD_NAME.png|400px|center|border]]
|<!-- GEARS / MODES -->1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, <WEAPON>, <BODY>, <SHIELD>
|<!-- MODS -->
|<!-- SUPER MODS -->
|<!-- WILDS MODS -->
|<!-- HIGHSCORES -->
BUILD_NAME1.png,1.234.567
|<!-- HIGHSCORES / MODES -->1,1,,,,,
|<!-- DESCRIPTION -->
|<!-- NOTES -->
|<!-- GALLERY -->
}}</div>{{Infobox blank}}


Lastly here's a list of what to edit specifically in the template to personalize your build:

ID Not required. We will set this value.
NAME No need to change the default value: 
{{PAGENAME}}
EDIT No need to change the default value: 
{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}}}
SIGNATURE Your nickname here on wikia or the one used in the nova drift discord.
PATCH Current patch in which the build was created and playtested, enclosed in double square brackets, if for example the build was created in patch V0.29.8 you need to type:


Example: 

[[V0.29.8]]
PHOTO This is not required, but if you wish to upload a "showcase" image of what your build looks like upload the screenshot here on wikia and simply type the following example in the template with screenshot.png changed to what your image name is:


Example: 

[[File:screenshot.png|400px|center|border]]
GEARS / MODES The "1" separated by commas stands to indicate that a particular Challenge Mode is activated or not. If you're on Mayhem you can ignore this values as they will be simply already set. After that type your gear selection separated by commas as demonstrated in the example below:


Example:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, Split Shot, Firefly, Amp
MODS Use the Build ModTree template/function to display mod trees. As you can see from the first two the name of each mod avalaible in a given mod tree will generate the same tree. It's just used to pick the correct tree. The "1" as arguments are used to specify exactly what mod in that tree your build needs (the one you don't need will be greyed out). If your build needs that mod you set it to "1".


Example:
{{Build ModTree|Barrier|1|1|1|1}}
{{Build ModTree|Omni Shield|1||1|1}}
{{Build ModTree|Regeneration|1|1||1}}
{{Build ModTree|Efficiency|1|||}}

Results in:

L

Reflexive Shields

SUPER MODS Simply type every suggested Super Mod for the build separated by a comma, in order of priority.


Example: 

Barrage, Tempest Break
WILDS MODS Simply type every suggested Wild Mod for the build separated by a comma, in order of priority. If you wish to specify how many times a recursive Wild Mod needs to be picked you can do so by adding a "/" after the name followed by the number of times.


Example: 

Bravado, Revelation, Defiance, Heavy Caliber/2, Scorching Wake/4

Results in:

Pb wmod selection
HIGHSCORES We will set these values, be sure to upload the Endgame Score Board of one run at least.
HIGHSCORES / MODES We will set these values, be sure to upload the Endgame Score Board of one run at least.
DESCRIPTION Short description of what the build does or tries to accomplish.
NOTES Not required but can be compiled with additional informations and tips and tricks useful for playing correctly your build.
GALLERY Not required.
❺ - Once you're done editing the required informations you're good to go, publish! The required images will obviously need to be uploaded separately on the wiki.
