Mission headings

Yes, I will get to that soon...thanksKarlcsr 00:00, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

I have basically finished the walkthroughs, renamed the missions and am getting ready to do cleanup from when I first started, as I feel I have a bit more of a basic 'format' feel of things now.

I have one idea about naming the missions, and wanted your opinion. When I am working on things, I see the mission titles like "Blue Angel" and I have to make extra efforts to remind myself what mission it is, China, USA, GLA and then what number the mission is. I know I can default to the Table of Contents, but just looking at the page I feel lost.

What do you think of this page-naming concept...do you think it is too much information???

CHI-1 The Dragon Reborn or China 1. The Dragon Reborn USA-1 Blue Angel GLA-3 Flood of Chaos or at least: 1. The Dragon Reborn 2. Chaos Factor

thanks...Karlcsr 18:25, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

From what I understand, Prod deleted my pointers to the individual missions under the walkthrough section because they are redundant of the TOC. I need to do more research on this walkthrough page thing...Karlcsr 19:48, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

Throw moves

I really didn't think it was too necessary to especially denote throw moves. I mean, any more that has to be executed closely is a throw, and some special moves are throws as well, you know? So generally speaking, any move that's one direction with one button (or in SF3 or SFA3's case, two buttons) is known to be a throw. It's possible to make a seperate Template for throws... may we italicize or shrink the move names? Like how we boldface them for super moves. But then you gotta go through existing move lists and update them. Procyon (Talk) 18:03, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

NMH, none of the fighting move FAQs make it a special point to indicate that a move is a throw because it's a relative minor point. I'm basing the move list composition off of a) several of the best fighting FAQs, b) my own personal knowledge, and most of all c) the way that moves are presented in Gamest magazine from Japan and several Japanese strategy guides. There's such a thing as too much into, and I don't think adding a special indication for throws is going to add a lot to the lists. Procyon (Talk) 18:30, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

I wanted to prove to you that I wasn't just making this stuff up. Check out http://www.capcom.co.jp/newproducts/consumer/chronicle/waza/index.html and http://www.capcom.co.jp/newproducts/consumer/cvss2/characters/img/waza.pdf to see what I mean. (Watch out, that last link is a fairly big PDF, and it doesn't even show throw moves at all.) Procyon (Talk) 19:41, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

I don't know what to tell you NMH, I highly disagree with you on this one. Indicating MAX is simply important so that a player doesn't attempt to execute a Super Move, only to be surprised that it won't come out because the player doesn't have enough gauge built up. But a throw? A throw is really not that different than a regular move, it simply occurs when one player attacks another player at point blank range. I've spent years perfecting this concept, studying other guides, and constructing the best method of presentation. I have never seen any move lists go out of their way to indicate that a move is a throw, and until you can show me someone else who does, I am not inclined to support the concept at this time. Procyon (Talk) 21:04, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

On the other hand, if you check out Street Fighter II/Characters/Zangief and read the techniques section, you can see how each move is described, and if a move is a throw, you find that out there. Procyon (Talk) 21:06, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for helping

Hi, thank you for guiding me to do the final smash subpage. And sorry but I have other questions: 1)How do I move the move lists to a single link in the Appendices??? 2) How do I move the final smash subpage to the Getting Started part (like the assist trophies link)??? I'll be really thankful if you could help me. Again I'm sorry to bother you but I'm new in this. Can you answer me to my talk page??? Fierce deity link (talk) 19:06 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Guide-specific image categories

You suggested that I add Samurai Shodown images to Category:Samurai Shodown images. Does the game box cover belong in that category also? New User 18:49, 9 October 2007 (CDT)

Database error

Just ignore it; deadlocks like that shouldn't happen often. I presume it's a product of the fact that the server's overloaded. If it happens again, just tell me. Thanks. :-) --DrBob (talk) 04:23, 25 October 2007 (CDT)

Image size

That's kinda big. O-o I don't really know how big it should be, though. I think even half that would still be big. Look at the Summon List to see how I've been using them.--IsaacGS 11:50, 5 November 2007 (CST)

Speaking of the Golden Sun guide, there's a wikia about the game... Information on there is released under an acceptable license, no? So could I get the monsters stats from there? Honestly I had no idea that monsters in GS had such detailed stats; they may end up needing a special template like MapleStory/Monsters do. If I did take any information from it, I would of course put it as an external link (and isn't there a special interwiki thing for wikia anyway?) so... what's the call?--IsaacGS 15:34, 5 November 2007 (CST)

Thankyou

Intentional. I don't see why it can't be printed; it's only going to be placed on people's user/talk pages, anyway. --DrBob (talk) 16:41, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Templates and CSS

template_edit_link is to style links in templates to edit the template itself. I think it's only used in {{Moves Header}} and another move list template at the moment (for the "edit" link on the right). :-) --DrBob (talk) 13:56, 14 November 2007 (CST)

Yoshi64's message

Don't worry, you missed nothing... You can see the entire thing on the delete log:

(Deletion log); 19:37 . . Procyon (Talk | contribs | block) (deleted "User:Notmyhandle(Talk)": content was: 'You are AWESOME' (and the only contributor was 'Yoshi 64'))

Dunno why he wanted to tell you how awesome you are (which I happen to agree with), but he couldn't figure out how to find your proper Talk page so he decided to make his own for you :P Procyon (Talk) 23:20, 14 November 2007 (CST)

Regarding Lunar Boom Town Participant List

Notmyhandle, thank you very much for the suggestion. I have started a participant list as you suggested[1] but I have not added the other known partipants. I will drop them messages to encourage them to help initialize and improve the home page[2] and hopefully join the discusion to see if a guide is appropriate at this time. Draft Game Concept 1: Personally I have envisioned a play mode of a Dungeon Master laying out a role playing chunks in parallel with approximately geared synchonizers. At first we will link the video game with manual interface points but soon I hope we will have intelligent objects in virtual space interconnected to teleoperation consoles and sensor nets. Thanks again for your interest and effort on our behalf. I hope you will check back occasionally even if we are expunged from StrategyWiki. Mirwin 08:22, 27 November 2007 (CST)

CvS2 controls

Hi NMH. I had repurposed the CvS2 controls page to be strictly about EO controls, so I had removed the PS2 and Dreamcast controls since they didn't apply. Essentially, the controls on the PS2 and DC can be whatever the player sets them to. I won't rollback your changes, but consider whether you think the PS2 and DC entries need to be there, and let me know. Thanks. Procyon (Talk) 09:22, 27 November 2007 (CST)

crimson night skin

I don't know, it was alright! Aesthetically, I don't like things like that, and was just testing it out for fun, but I do think you did a good job on it. I hope my honestly doesn't make you feel bad--I did this with Skizzerz' skin too, after bugging him for help with it! I haven't looked much at the code, but it all seemed to work pretty well and seemed to be free of random bugs, but of course I can't be sure.

ANYWAYS I MEAN THIS AS A POSITIVE REVIEW FOR REAL

Really. -- towers http://media.strategywiki.org/images/a/a8/Towers_trex.gif 14:23, 28 November 2007 (CST)

BSM Walkthrough

I don't know WHAT to do. On one hand, I've already written the data for the first stage. On the other, there isn't enough characters to warrant stuff like that. It's not exactly an RPG you know.Arrow 00:05, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Well, how's that? Additionally, I started on the nations section, with the intention of outlining all the ships, planes, and subs for the two factions (the neutral faction is to describe minor, non-controllable units like cargo ships and the different kinds of land installations). I'm at a loss, however, on how to display the info. Been looking at Zelda's bestiaries, but that doesn't exactly work well with my images either. Maybe I need new ones? --Arrow 10:48, 1 December 2007 (CST)

RSS Question

hey, im wondering, is it possible to set up RSS for people's watchlist? so i can only see edits from what im working on instead of all of the other edits. Halosonic 15:55, 3 December 2007 (CST)

Regarding Images

Yes, they do indeed come from the website. It's a little difficult to set up a link to the website, but I can put the website's name on the images. If they don't come from the website, I'll put a note on the image. --|Superpowered Mario (Talk|contribs)

Splitting of Total Annihilation/Units

I don't think it's a good idea to split Total Annihilation/Units into separate pages for ARM and Core. The 2 sides' units are mostly so similar that for most Core units "similar to ARM's XXXXX" is enough, and splitting leads to duplication of text; in fact I've recently included several comparisons, and the cross-links in these no longer work. Splitting also leaves very little to say in Total Annihilation/Units. Philcha 05:38, 11 January 2008 (CST)

Your suggestion to combine ARM and Core unit descriptions is excellent. It will certainly save space, and will facilitate ARM-Core comparisons, e.g. Hammer vs Thud. It will also clarify the cases where there are no equivalents, e.g. Goliath, Maverick. It's quite a lot of work, so I think we should first check for issues that need to be sorted out. The ones that come to mind are:

Section headings for links between units. For example in a few sections the text says, "should be used along with X" or "don't use this, use Y".
Are we using "unit" in the technical sense, or mobiles only?
Should we highlight units that are only in expansion packs (e.g. Maverick, Immolator)? If so, how? See possible way at bottom.
How to present the ARM and Core names for corresponding units?
Should we consider including unit stats later (costs, build time, speed, hit points, firepower and rate)?
Do we use "level" or "tier"? AFAIK "level" is TA usage, "tier" is TA:K.

Once these are agreed, I'll help with the merge (send me a message!) - it's quite a lot of work, but 2 people can work on it because the units are all in separate sections (vehicles, Kbots,etc.) Since we will probably work at different rates for various reasons, we should send each other messages, e.g. "I'm starting to merge level 1 vehicles". I've just realised we're probably in different time zones - I'm in UK, where are you?

Re unit names, we could use small tables, e.g.:

ARM:

Samson

Core:

Slasher
