Re: Merge Contra?
I did wonder about that, but a lot of the information I found claimed "the NES version is significantly different" and said it had much longer stages. Based on what you've said merging them makes sense, and once you get up to 1988 you can sort out any elements that need clarifying. GarrettTalk 22:11, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Meeting
Hey Proc, is there a meeting this week?-- Duke Ruckley Talk 15:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for letting know! If we have time, I'd like to bring up a main page/community portal overhaul.  There's a thread on the forums, but there hasn't been much discussion about it.-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 15:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Warrior II images
Are the images on this page screenshots, or art from comics or what? They're currently categorized as, which is where they look like they belong, but maybe they're. Just checking. - naj zere 21:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

New command list sugestion
Though when I first saw the SFIV move list's, I thought they where too cool not to try them out. But currently I'm leaning towards the folowing design. 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 Blue Phoenix 18:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

GIMP
Your Script-Fu wouldn't by any chance include making 2D sprites into pretty, gradient-shaded 3D images, would it? - najzere T 21:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I have an update, but I thought I'd post it here, in case you're not watching the topic on my talk page. I have located grain merge, and I don't know what it's doing in technical terms, but it looks much better than just doing a half-opaque gradient on the image. I just found it last night, so I haven't added it to the script yet, but I wanted to get your input on it anyway. I tried creating a new layer and doing a normal gradient, then setting the layer to grain merge and half opacity, and I think it looks the same as doing the layer as grain merge and the gradient at half opacity. I think I saw grain merge in the gradient options too, in which case we can (hopefully) forgo the extra layer all together and just apply the gradient directly to the top of the image. What I am wondering is if you've nailed down the specific opacity to use. I tried at 100%, 50% and 30%, and I think the sweet spot is somewhere between 30-50%.


 * I took a closer look at the sprite icons we're trying to match and the guy is using 6 pixels of dark layer, 2 of the light layer and 5 pixels of border. Using those numbers, my results have been looking much better. Should we enforce this ratio instead of picking all aspects of the widths independently? If the ratios are hard-coded, then we can easily scale the offsets for the sides to match any size image. I guess I'm just used to idiot-proofing everything I code, even when it's something like this where you and I know exactly how to use the inputs. Maybe when we're done we can post it to the script repository though? Okay, that's it, just wanted your advice on the opacity and the ratios. I made a chart of side-by-sides for seeing how the different opacities look, in case you want to see that too. Later, - najzere T 16:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Could I please get some movelist advice
Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at this move list and could possibly give me some advice on how to polish it up (I'll take whatever you suggest and update the other characters to match). This is my first time trying to work with move lists and know you are more familiar with fighting games than I am. I guessed on how to use the template after studying how it was used in a few different major fighting series. There is a good chance I'm misunderstanding where the move and button sections divide. --Zaiqukaj 14:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The example you sent me is much more complicated (and relatively different) then the other few pages I was using to figure it out. This is perfect, thank you! --Zaiqukaj 16:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link/Hidden Palace - missing point-bag
I just wanted to note that you neglected to mention a point-bag that appears in the south-eastern portion of the wooded area in your map key. If you want to know where it's specifically located, go to the GameFAQs Zelda II page, and under "Maps and Charts" check "East Overworld Map" by DEngel. I verified the accuracy of this, myself. 70.153.122.245 15:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Apple II box scans
Hey, I don't know if you want this one 'cause it's kind of beat up, but there you go. - najzere T 17:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
