Dreamcast buttons
Might I request your expert image prowess on the dc buttons? Or at least some guidelines so I can stick to whatever "standards" you're using? -- Prod (Talk) 11:00, 3 November 2006 (CST)


 * I plan on finishing the Shenmue guide, and noticed that it's lacking the Dreamcast dpad directions for the QTE sequences. I've created some generic dc dpad directions (just the direction filled in with a simple blue color, similar to the PS dpad directions), but I was wondering if you were already making them. If so, do you mind uploading them? If not, I can just upload the generic ones as a temporary fill-in. Thanks. --Antaios 13:24, 3 July 2007 (CDT)


 * I am making them, but due to the time availible for making said buttons ( and my short attention span ), I don't know how fast I can get around to finishing them. I would go ahead and upload your versions. --blendmaster 13:27, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance.
I started a discussion on making a pretty substantial change to infobox and I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you were interested or wanted to help with the change if it was supported. link. Oh, and if you know someone who would want to help out/discuss this who's talk page I didn't leave it on, if you could let them know, that'd be useful, thanks. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:01, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Welcome back!!!
Hi Blend! Good to see you back! Did you get my email about the crappy slash button that I made? Sucks, doesn't it? Do you think you might be able to come up with something better? Lemme know, thanks!!

Hey Procyon! School's finally letting up slightly (the calm before the finals storm), so I've got some time to work on the Elite Beat Agents guide (and finish that game on expert mode). You'll have to update me on he status of all the buttons that need to be made or improved. I remember a dash button, a block button, and that slash button. Were there any others? --blendmaster 20:26, 6 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I give you a lot of props for finishing EBA on expert, nice going! I think Dash, Block, and Slash are pretty much the only ones that I can think of at the moment.  I created [[Image:NeoGeo-A.png]], [[Image:NeoGeo-B.png]], [[Image:NeoGeo-C.png]], and [[Image:NeoGeo-D.png]] NeoGeo buttons, and I think they came out OK (actually shrunk down a real image of an arcade button for those.  But as always, if you can replace them with something better, go for it.  Catch you around!  Procyon (Talk) 20:35, 6 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Welcome back; I hope school hasn't been too hard on you. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 16:38, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Sorry about this gap in contributions. I've gotten dragged along on a couple trips to Iowa and other equally boring places. I also had to reinstall both my operating systems on my computer. Windows, and Linux, surprisingly, were beginning to fall apart, and were probably about to go rampant. Luckily, I got them erased before they could take over a beekeeping website and start a viral marketing campaign. But really, its just School's-out lazies. I hope to switch over my Halo-and-watching-anime time to Strategy Wiki time soon, before the credits song from Haruhi is stuck permanently in my head. --blendmaster 16:54, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah man! Priorities, come on, what were you thinking?  ^_^ Just kidding.  Glad to see you around again.  We protected all of the controller images, so we agreed to promote you to sys-op if you wanna do some heavy duty editing on those.  Let DrBob know if you need access to them.

Gentoo
What happened with revdep-rebuild? :-P --DrBob (Talk) 15:31, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
 * It's a dumb solution to a dumb problem. And whenever I need to use a program ( in this case, inkscape ) the mysterious Missing Library strikes yet again, and as the emerge signal shines in the sky, Revdep Man is still sleeping in the portage-cave, and Python boy is updating the cache on the portage-mobile.


 * Or something like that.


 * I'd love to have a long intellectual discussion about the merits of dynamically linked libraries and the intricacies of coding for linux, but first I'll have to recompile Firefox, glib, dbus, and the entirety of gnome. Apparently, libgtkamm.so moved from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64. --blendmaster 13:47, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Such is the way of life. Alternatively, you could `sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgtkmm.so /usr/lib/gtkmm.so`. --DrBob (Talk) 14:24, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Wii controls
On a related note to my post in CI, would you mind taking a look at wii and working your magic on it? Some of the buttons are a little...dilapidated. :-\ --DrBob (Talk) 15:03, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'll unprotect all of those images for now, let me (or another sysop) know when you're done with them.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:12, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually Rocky, we agreed to promote blendmaster to sysop if he wants to do some editing, so could you re-protect them, and blendmaster could you let me know if/when you need to be promoted? :-) --DrBob (Talk) 16:04, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Great idea DB, he sure could use the extra buttons :P--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 02:07, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
