MapleStory/Monsters/Complete list
Nice work with the list page. I'm planning on splitting the page up into many, since the page is huge and takes a while to load. The standard way seems to be to split at every 10 levels. What are your thoughts on this? -- Prod (Talk) 17:25, 25 January 2007 (CST) heh, Thanks. That seems like a pretty good idea. As you said, it's pretty much standard to split it at the ten level mark. seems like a good idea to me. Though i haven't experienced a long loading time at the page, it may be a bit heavy on slower computers. User:IsaacGS
 * Looks great what you filled in :D. I like the fact that you kept a consistent naming scheme for all of them, I should be able to add all the links in quite easily (as long as the names are the same). -- Prod (Talk) 18:28, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * If the image of a monster is different from the name, there is an optional last parameter for the MapleStory/Monster template which gives a different image name. I'll set it up for the two Thug's so you know how it works. here is the diff. -- Prod (Talk) 23:13, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Heh, well that's more complicated templates than mediawiki's fault :P. I made that template since I wanted each of the monsters to have comparable formatting, rather than everyone doing whatever they wanted.  The images were the only tricky part to make easy to use. -- Prod (Talk) 00:12, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Image categorisation
I see you've been uploading a few images lately. When doing so, could you please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories? The image policy is viewable here, and contains all the information you'll need to categorise future uploads. --Prod (Talk) 20:49, 4 March 2007 (CST)
 * Configure categories? A category is just a page, when linked to on another page it adds it to the category page like a list.  To do the link, add  to the bottom of the page/image.  Most game images are categorized under Category:Sprites, Category:Artwork, or Category:Screenshots, as well as a specific category for the game if enough images for the game exist. --Notmyhandle 17:08, 5 March 2007 (CST)

MapleStory
Hey, nice work with the MapleStory guide so far :). A few notes: If you add an image and you don't want it to mess with the next section use the  where you want everything reset. Also, when doing the pages for something specific, (like MapleStory/Towns/Henesys) it isn't necessary to restate the name (it's already at the top of the page).  If there are other sections, then start them off with ==Title== to create a new section.  Finally, add the pages to you watchlist (should be automatic, but there's a setting in prefs).  That way you can see the changes other people make. Happy editing! :) -- Prod (Talk) 17:54, 6 March 2007 (CST)
 * Before making any major changes, please bring it up in discussion first. -- Prod (Talk) 22:49, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * When it comes to edits, I see almost everything :P All the MapleStory pages are on my watchlist also, so I definately see those (even talk pages get shown).  I think the change was definately needed, I was just too lazy to actually do it.  -- Prod (Talk) 20:32, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * Thanks for the reminded, I wanted to think about it a bit before replying and ended up forgetting :P. Come on irc sometime to discuss anything, I'm usually online. -- Prod (Talk) 17:56, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Yea, the irc server seems to be down (hmm...MS patch should be available in about 3 minutes). What I meant was, we add those flags to the boxes in Template:MapleStory/Versions/Areas for the locations which have a FM entrance.  At the bottom of the table we say something like "(flag image) - Locations with a Free Market entrance". -- Prod (Talk) 15:29, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

A desert area would be cool :D! *goes off to clear up some hdd space to dl some more clients. -- Prod (Talk) 13:54, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Having seen the images you've uploaded, I'm eagerly awaiting seeing this new page ^_^. -- Prod (Talk) 21:34, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

That's half because the links don't use MapleStory/Skill and half because I didn't finish the archers skill page >.< (forgot about it). I'll try to fix the skill page now. If you update the builds page, the usage is on the template, and I've changed a few up as a demonstration. -- Prod (Talk) 18:02, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Use this template for the linking (just make sure you use the proper skill names). Follow the instructions and it should work. Of course, it could be that the template needs a bit of work.  Remind me about it tomorrow and I'll look into it;).  -- Prod (Talk) 22:26, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

What JMS server do you play on? -- Prod (Talk) 19:09, 3 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Good, I picked the right one :P. What's your nick? -- Prod (Talk) 22:06, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

I've already uploaded all the skill images. Just check the skill pages. -- Prod (Talk) 23:52, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Is there a quick way to get from Victoria to Ludi using the world tour? -- Prod (Talk) 20:07, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks. This will help me out a lot :).  I haven't seen you on for a while, I'm guessing you don't play JMS that much? -- Prod (Talk) 09:26, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Can you come on IRC for a few minutes? I want to discuss something major with you. -- Prod (Talk) 19:17, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Just to let you know
I am the one who created the Coke Town and Advanturer Course pages. - Wkkim9292 22:18, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * ha, ok thanks. it didn't occur to me to check history until now. XD IsaacGS 13:21, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Your Userpage/MS features
On entries like Aqua Road dungeon/aquarium, can't they be combined since the entries are the same in the table? Aka, two rows become one? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 21:07, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Also note that you're not noting EVERY area, mostly dungeons/towns but all you have to do is say Town then line break Dungeon; thus having two entries that could be combined would be better. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 21:17, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Remember that if you find noting the dungeons significant then just append the name to the first column such as "Aquarium & Aquarium Dungeon (Aqua Road)" (I don't think those are the correct names but you should get the jist of it). --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 21:25, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

Coke Town
I know a few people that play KMS. Yeah it is uncommon for them to remove an area. Since Coke Town never really had a official area name (just says hidden street for all the map road names), It was just considered an event town that lasted 8~ months I guess. I wonder if this means any other version may get a chance to have Coke Town in the future. Or maybe this is just a temporary removal, since the NPCs that take you there are still in the game, but they don't work anymore when you click on them. -- Takiten 21:54, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

Cleanup
I can't say I've looked over the major changes you've made in-depth, but when reducing the comments, try to keep the information, since many of the stuff written are opinions anyway. Most of the builds have pros and cons, and they do need discussion. -- Vandal (Whine) 22:37, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
 * If you need a page deleted (or image for that matter) label it with delete (with a reason) so that one of the sysops can delete it from the server. -- Prod (Talk) 19:08, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * When marking an image for renaming, try to put the new image name in with the brackets. This renaming stuff might have to be done by a sysop who doesn't play the game (most likely User:Rocky :P). -- Prod (Talk) 19:32, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * What should the new name for the file be? -- Prod (Talk) 20:33, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

World Tour Guide NPC
She is in every town except The Maple Island towns, Sleepywood, Florina Beach, Aquarium, Korean Folk Town, Omega Sector and Herb Town. I had them all listed on the main world article awhile back, but I cut it all out and just put "She is located in most towns". -- Takiten 11:31, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh and the PVP arena doors for ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, and ThailandMS are in Perion, Orbis, El Nath, Aquarium, Ludibrium, Omega Sector, Showa Town, Yuyuan Garden, and Floating Market. Not sure if that's all of them, there might be one in Xi Men Ding or Night Market too. But the rest are correct. -- Takiten 11:35, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Image problems
Yea, for some reason the server which holds all the images, css and js has been acting up. It kinda comes and goes. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. -- Prod (Talk) 01:09, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Thanks
If I can, I'll get a dual monitor setup with the money, and be able to browse SW twice as fast :P. -- Prod (Talk) 22:25, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

.wz extraction.
You figured out how to do it? Congrats lol. I've been trying to learn for ages, and Wkkim showed me that guide, but I have no idea what to do with all that. Anyway, since you know how to extract data, I was wondering if you happened to have EuropeMS installed. I was thinking they might have the map names for Taiwan in their data since they have Taiwan monsters in their data. Might be able to see Xi Men Ding's English name. I'm sure you'll be checking MapleSEA's data after the patch to see if anything was added there too. -- Takiten 00:16, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Ah, I figured out how to extract road/map names from JMS, MapleSEA and GMS. I found Amoria's road/map name in JMS data as:

Which translates to Wedding Town : Wedding Town. I wonder why they couldn't use アモリア, which directly means Amoria. Also noticed they don't have Amoria Dungeon in their data. I wonder when JMS is going to release this? -- Takiten 14:28, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Monsters template
If others are willing to add the info, why not. Just let me make the template change(s) ;). On this topic, do we really need the JMS EXP parameter? -- Prod (Talk) 13:17, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'd rather not become a hidden-street mirror, since most of the info is already there. I'm on IRC right now if you want to discuss. -- Prod (Talk) 13:37, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
