X-Plane
hello there,
First of all, bear with me as this is my first effort at putting some info on a page of this sort, i.e. a wiki. Most notable to me of your comments was that X-Plane may not be a game after all. I (and some more vociferous members of the community !) would agree, it is more accurately described as a flight simulation. It does have some online interactive capability but it is not a game in the sense of competition or score keeping, etc. I belive that when this wiki was first set up in was not here in the strategy wiki area; it got moved here sometime back by someone on the wiki side of things ? Is there a more appropriate place for this ? I expect that as I grow more familiar with this wiki business I will take more advantage of formatting, etc. At the moment I think you are telling me that identifying myself and perhaps x-plane.org is inappropriate ? An instructional/tutorial piece is what I am trying to get to eventually... thanks..
- thanks for the feedback, prod. I would be interested in being kept up to date on where this page might end up. I do agree that the move to strategy wiki was probably not appropriate. Twgin 21:19, 5 January 2007 (CST)
MapleStory Icon Filenames
I was wondering if we should change the filenames for the icons to the official filenames from the data.wz. I would have done it, but I don't know how to change the filenames without uploading a new icon/file all together. -- Takiten 22:55, 14 January 2007 (CST)
- Well on several sites that extract the data for the data.wz, they were able to unencrypt the filenames for the minimap icons too.
- In GlobalMS and JapanMS, the minimap names are: Amherst.png AquaRoad.png Dungeon.png ElNath.png ElNathDungeon.png Ellinia.png Folkvillige.png Guild.png Henesys.png KerningCity.png Leafre.png LudiTower1.png Ludibrium.png MushroomVillage.png OmegaSector.png Orbis.png PcZone.png Perion.png Rith.png SouthPerry.png TestServer.png Wedding.png jipangu.png shouwa.png
- Wedding.png is only in GlobalMS, Leafre.png, jipangu.png, and shouwa.png are only in JapanMS, and Village is spelled wrong in Folkvillige.png.
- I believe that even in KoreaMS, that all the filenames would be exactly the same. Looks like a pretty good way to find out the english names of future towns. Notice Leafre.png for example.
- I haven't the slightest idea what the Shanghai, YuYuanGarden, XiMenDing, and Night Market icons filenames are, since I don't have access to any extracted data from ChinaMS or TaiwanMS. As far as I know, KoreaMS and JapanMS don't use minimap icons for Shanghai, XiMenDing, or Night Market, so I don't know if they would be in KoreaMS or JapanMS current versions data or not. And obviously, I don't know the filenames for Mureung or Hundred Grass/White Herb either. KoreaMS and ThailandMS didn't make a icon for Thai Floating Market or Coca-Cola Town either so I don't think any versions has one for either. -- Takiten 15:47, 16 January 2007 (CST)
Community portal
I took a look at the Community issues section and when you archived things, it seems you've missed some things. 0-172 (Talk) 20:51, 20 January 2007 (CST)
Table of Contents
Thanks for adding table of contents to the pages I created. I'll try not to kepp forgetting them.--Wittj 15:19, 20 January 2007 (CST)
Re: Paper Mario
The names on the table of contents are the official names of the chapters. I guess I can move the pages to more official title. Besides, they were like that when I began editing the guide.--Wittj 19:42, 20 January 2007 (CST)
Ban Jaffsong immediately
This user has a pornographic link on the Smash Bros. Melee page. --Antaios 17:48, 22 January 2007 (CST)
Image server
We had a DNS screw up earlier and it's preventing some people from seeing the images. Due to DNS propagation it should fix itself eventually, however since it seems you're busy editing stuff I've changed it back to an IP. I'll try the subdomain again tomorrow.--Dan 20:36, 22 January 2007 (CST)
- It's funny because User:Procyon and I were just talking about that right now. Anyway, the reason why I'm not an admin is because I'm just beginning to frequent SW. User:DrBob will be the one to give me admin privilege (because I'm just too lazy to do it in the database manually :P)--Dan 20:49, 22 January 2007 (CST)
Break time for TREEHEMOTH
After creating the Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. enemy list, I decided to take a break for the time being, then I can get back to creating that article for you.
The Article TREEHEMOTH is referring to
The Kids Next Door Operation VIDEOGAME Enemy List. I knew the guys that were busy with the Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. article were forgetting something.

It's not that many, I'm almost done now. GarrettTalk 15:35, 26 January 2007 (CST)
Final Fantasy
Fancy giving me a hand merging this beast in? :-P --DrBob (Talk) 12:08, 27 January 2007 (CST)
- Yeah, I've continually put it off, but I'm bored, and so I thought I might as well start poking it a pit. --DrBob (Talk) 12:17, 27 January 2007 (CST)
Game images
Maybe we can throw the game logo somewhere in the nav.--Dan 23:07, 27 January 2007 (CST)
- Well it certainly can be done. I just don't know how to do it myself. :P--Dan 23:20, 27 January 2007 (CST)
Yoshi_64
Thanks for cleaning my mistake, but can you make an "enemies" list on Super Mario Sunshine please. Send something back, Please.
Thank you again.
skill points
if i am lvl 30 but chose not to advance my job yet, and i go to lvl 31, will i still get skill points for the first job advancement? If so, then that means you could max out all of your first job skills.
Your Comment
Thanks for your comment, I've been a contributer to gamefaqs for a while (so don't flag my contributions up as copyvios, I made them), but this seems like a much better idea. I'll try and expand/format them better when I get the chance. Thanks! Alexj2002 15:30, 28 January 2007 (CST)
New Problem
This morning, simply typing in http://www.strategywiki.org took me to a 403 error page. What do I do to prevent this from happening?? SMB3 fan 09:18, 30 January 2007 (CST)
- It's not something you can fix. Let the admin and such take care of it, but thanks for pointing that out. I'm not Prod. --Notmyhandle 09:26, 30 January 2007 (CST)
Thanks :)
Hi Prod. Thanks for the alternate layout suggestion. I'll keep playing with it, but your idea is better than mine was. I'd like to categorize them and your method will make it easier for me to do that. Procyon 22:08, 30 January 2007 (CST)
Re: Cat picture
LOL, yeah, I found that at MaxConsole and I was trying to think of a way to use it, but I really can't think of any. Copy it if you like, cuz I'm gonna delete it in a day or so (unless you can think of a good way to use it for the site ^_^ ) Procyon 23:30, 30 January 2007 (CST)
MapleStory
No, I don't. If you inferred that I did through my ToDo list, that's just a reminder to myself to make generic clean ups to one of the pages. In other words, I don't play MapleStory, but I do clean up it's guide on StrategyWiki.Dan 20:37, 31 January 2007 (CST)
I need advice and help about X-COM:Apocalypse.
Thanks alot Prod. IOU :-) Taylan 13:11, 2 February 2007 (CST)
Yoshi_64 again
Can someone please add a page called "Pianta Parlor" in the Tatte Log section of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door(PM:TTYD).
- Sorry to intrude, but what exactly is stopping you from doing it Yoshi? (And don't forget to sign your comments with ~~~~.) Procyon 22:28, 31 January 2007 (CST)
MapleStory Elementals
Hey. I like what you did with the levels of monsters, it worked out very well and looks much neater. I wanted to complement you on how well it went, and saw your user page with the ToDo list on it. I took care of a lot of the Elements, both Resistances and Weaknesses. there are some I couldn't find info on in English... Thai Market, Riprey, Korean Folk Town, MuLing, White Herb, and most of the Xi Men Ding/Night market monsters. Oddly enough, no Shanghai Waitan monsters had weaknesses or resistances. O_O If you can gather any info on it, that'd be great. hope we can work well together on the maplestory guide in the future. IsaacGS 18:08, 1 February 2007 (CST)
- Thanks for the help with the code. Still a bit of a newb to wiki code, I basically look for something in the format I want and steal its code. XD When I was looking at it and realized the picture for Extra B was wrong, I uploaded the right one. should be good now. IsaacGS 23:37, 1 February 2007 (CST)
Hey I know you
Nice to say hi. I know you (kind of) from the MapleStory arcticle on Wikipedia. Thanks for the welcome to Strategy Wiki! SkunkBow 22:37, 2 February 2007 (CST)
ToC addition
Thanks. I also made a similar addition to the MPH ToC.--Dan 21:57, 4 February 2007 (CST)
Sonic the Hedgehog Badniks page
lol, yeah, I noticed we both had the same idea, and I felt bad about squashing your changes, but when I realized that we were going for the same idea, I felt better. Regarding the heading, I dunno... I didn't like giving the enemy names two equal signs, but I didn't want to use three equal signs without having some kind of two equal sign heading. I agree with you, it is redundant. I just couldn't think of a better idea at the time. I'm done chaning it, so if you have a better idea, by all means, go for it. Procyon 13:28, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Mass moving
Can your bot do moves/renames too? Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire needs to be moved to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald (discussed here). You can find the full page list at Special:Prefixindex/Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Thanks. GarrettTalk 19:14, 5 February 2007 (CST)
SD3 Template
Yeah, it is kind of big. Thanks, I think. Unless you think it needs to be smaller or it's too complicated or something. Lol. I'm kind of paranoid about it. It's the first template I've ever made and I had a hard time getting it how I wanted it to look. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Some of the template code was confusing to work out, but I think it's about right now. I was looking at some of the other templates here on StategyWiki and they had all sorts of things I couldn't work out, though. Like that QIF stuff. Yeah. I'm going to leave that alone for now.
Annnnyway. Thanks!(?) -- TheSOS 23:49, 5 February 2007 (CST)
- Oh, that does sound interesting. I'd very much like to hear more about this template within a template or however you said it. But, perhaps tomorrow. It's getting late and I can only focus on so much, which right now is filling up my big template and adding a few more entries to the bestiary. Thanks again for your comments. You're very nice. I always dread getting messages on wikis, fearing it's going to be some angry editor telling me to stop what I'm doing. -- TheSOS 00:06, 6 February 2007 (CST)
- Sorry about that. I forgot to add the SD3, then I tried doing the "reupload this file" thing, thinking it would move the image, but. . . it didn't. So now there are two extra images. Could you maybe delete them? Edit: Looks like you already have. Nevermind. Lol. Sorry again. -- TheSOS 00:32, 6 February 2007 (CST)
Help required
I'm not very good at this, am I? Anyway... I tried to add a new page to the Sonic Adventure guide, under the non-existent page called "Egg Hornet", but I failed to notice I was actually creating a new page for "Common bosses" and not just the hornet itself. I don't know how it happened exactly, as I did nothing fancy and are 100% sure I clicked on the right blank page, but now I have no idea how to shift the page to the correct location and get the empty common bosses page back... I have my ideas, but they may not work. Help? --Supremesonic 14:19, 6 February 2007 (CST)
Questions
| I am a table. Fearsome table. Table-y table. |
I've been reading the editing help, and I noticed it said that you shouldn't go beyond having more than one subsection in a guide, like I think it said Seiken Densetsu 3/Bestiary would be alright, but Seiken Densetsu 3/Bestiary/Introduction wouldn't. I've seen several pages that break this rule, however. Sooo. Is it still not allowed? I'm only asking because I think the bestiary will end up being quite long, and it may be wise to break it into two or more sections, with an introduction. Without adding two many subsections, how would you recommend I do that and how would I name the pages? SD3/Bestiary1, Bestiary2, and Bestiary3? Or BestiaryA-G, etc.? -- TheSOS 18:35, 6 February 2007 (CST)
Not sure if you're online, but do you know if it's possible to put bullets in a table? I just tried and they came out as asterisks. -- TheSOS 23:27, 6 February 2007 (CST)
Thanks for the help with the bullets. One more thing. I couldn't find this in the help guides. Is there a way to pad the space AROUND a table? Like if I made a table and wanted it to float to the right or the left, but wanted text to not start or end directly against its borders? -- TheSOS 23:55, 6 February 2007 (CST)
- That's not quite what I meant. I didn't mean is it possible to pad the cells within the table, but the space around the entire table itself. For example, look up at the table I made with the nonsense. See how the word "Is" touches right against the border? Is there a way to set a border around the table so the text from the article doesn't touch right against it? Like is there a reverse cellpadding feature that pads around the table instead of inside of it? -- TheSOS 00:10, 7 February 2007 (CST)
Gah, I just put up a section under party quests. Just add/edit to that. -Game Freak
(you really should sign your things. O_o)
I think it should go under party quest, as you really do need at least 2 people to even start it. It also involves progressing through stages culminating in a major boss fight and is followed by bonus round. Meets the same criteria as every other PQ, minus the level requirements. I'll wait till tomorrow to edit the new monsters page, as we're unsure right now whether the skeleton soldiers will be in this patch or not. IsaacGS 18:37, 6 February 2007 (CST)
- Did you just get all that information off of sleepywood Prod? And sorry Isaac, I tend to forget to sign.--GameFreak 22:58, 6 February 2007 (CST)
