| | :Hi {{user|Trig Jegman}}. Yeah, I captured a lot of those images personally, especially the single screen games like Combat, Bubble Bobble, Lode Runner, and Chack'n Pop. Other games like Castle Excellent and Athena were done so long ago, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate them again if I tried. I have a tendency to add markup to them in the process of making them consumable for a walkthrough. I know this isn't the most satisfactory answer, but it's the best I have right now. If I somehow conjure up the source for some of the other images, I'll let you know. But I'm more likely to stumble across them accidentally than intentionally.

| 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.

| == Dragon Warrior II images == | | ==I need some guidance== |
| | Hi Procyon! Um, honestly I am kind of embarrassed on pinging you about this considering that you are the head of StrategyWiki, but the thing is, I want to ask for guidance from you regarding about some of my guides because recently I have been thinking of something, I want to know what you think and what will be your advice to me regarding about this, this will be somewhat long so I hope you have time to read, also thank you very much for writing on my Talk page along with Prod, so here it is, I've been thinking of this for quite a while now. |
|
| |
|
| Are the images on [[Dragon Warrior II/Spells|this page]] screenshots, or art from comics or what? They're currently categorized as {{c|Artwork}}, which is where they ''look'' like they belong, but maybe they're {{c|Icons}}. Just checking. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 21:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
| | You see, I have these 2 games named Astrobatics and Alien Sky that I made a Stage 2 guide from, and what bothers me is that no matter how much I think of how to improve the guides for these 2 (I can still improve them, in fact 2 more overhauls each but it is not that significant anymore) I can't really think of what more I can provide for these 2 games to make the guides for them Stage 3 eligible, the issue I am thinking about is its levels, or missions as what the games refer, it is some sort of a real time mission |

|
| 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.
| | The problem with these missions is that they really can't be described anymore with text + picture, while these games have predictable pacing as what I mentioned in its Walkthrough page, this is a roadblock that I feel like its unnecessary to break through |

| == GIMP ==
| | Explaining these missions "down to the bone" as in referring to where would enemies come in, come out, and all that, just feels like unnecessary information and nobody would basically read it, a good example of a game just like this is '''Sky Force Reloaded''', a game I have also nearly mastered a few months ago, I even have my runs in this game uploaded in my YouTube account and I can provide a sample, and just like these 2 games, Sky Force Reloaded also has the same kind of level, basically real time, it has predictable pacing but the levels are way too complex to be torn apart into text + picture form, if you want to recognize the levels of this game you would rather want to just do a trial and error, train your mind memory and muscle memory until you recognize where will enemies appear since enemy positions and appearances don't change, only drops do. |

| Your Script-Fu wouldn't by any chance include making 2D sprites into pretty, gradient-shaded 3D images, would it? - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 21:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
| | I have been thinking just now that what if the guides for Astrobatics and Alien Sky are already Stage 3 eligible at this point? I will still have to improve them but I believe once I did, they should be at least Stage 3 eligible, but I am afraid that some people may attempt to dispute its ranking and say that it may miss an information, which is also a big problem on my part because I cannot look for someone who has played these 2 games, finished it completely, and then decide to pay my guide a visit and judge it |
| :Well, I have an update, but I thought I'd post it here, in case you're not watching [[User talk:Najzere#GiMP|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.

| | Assuming that you gave me a go signal to make these guides Stage 3 eligible, I will take that into mind and once I have finally provided 2 more major overhauls I will upgrade it to Stage 3, then, if I was able to find someone who can read these guides and tell me how it is, if it came out as having a really good review saying that it is comprehensive enough, then I will upgrade it to Stage 4 but this is a process that I won't be able to do in just days unless if I am lucky enough to find one quick. |

| Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at this [[Ballz/Boomer|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. --[[User:Zaiqukaj|Zaiqukaj]] 14:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I changed the Bridge at airshed footer to follow the ToC, but I see now that the Warehouse is pointing back to the Harbor, which doesn't point forward to the Warehouse. Anyway, I'll just leave it to you, but I wanted to at least let you know about the Bridge at airshed page, in case you need to change it back. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

| :Well in that case, you're stuck with not upgrading Tone at all and attempting to figure out the maximum number of strikes, and then figuring out how much tone affects it (i.e. fight the boss with minimum tone of 30 or whatever, then double the tone and see how many strikes it takes). Otherwise, reverse engineering it is the only way to go.

| | |
| Hi, should [[Hokuto no Ken (Famicom)]] not have the system in parentheses? I ask because usually we only disambiguate the later titles, and reserve the standalone name for the first game. If it's clearer having "Hokuto no Ken" and "Fist of the North Star" redirecting to the category, that's cool too. :) — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 22:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

| == Japanese held sound romanization standard ==
| |
| | |
| I prefer using double vowels rather than pronunciation combos (ou instead of oo) or accent marks, and I think that should be the standard (which should be noted somewhere like [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Languages]]). When we are copying translations from other sources, we should change them to our standard. It doesn't really matter which we choose, but double vowels are the most simple and easy to search for if it's in the title of a game. Alternative spellings can always be redirects.
| |
| | |
| ;Reasoning
| |
| Double vowels are more indicative of the length of sound, and follows the classic written standard for the kana where pronunciation is strict. Pronunciation combos are nice if you are new to the language, but since Japanese is phonetic, it doesn't make sense to try and adapt it to a non-phonetic standard such as English (the ou accommodates English accents). Accent marks are a nice way to graphically display the double sound, as it mimics the Japanese representation (a two kana combo can be represented in English with two characters): again, this follows an adaptive standard.

| ::I like the "Do as it is written" standards we've come up with so far. The reason for noting a preference like this is to eliminate disputes and create consistency across the wiki. Again, this standard doesn't apply to romanized titles and defined names (i.e. Hadouken). After it is documented (I think this could be part of a larger page as additional language issues arise), enforcement is the only change (when copying words like "Zetsushō", they should be changed to "Zetsushoo"). The only difficulty I can predict in doing this is 1) only people with an understanding of the words can accurately make the change and 2) romanization of Kanji can arise in ambiguous spellings (i.e. "奥義" written as "Shuugyou", where the "you" can be mistaken as "yoo" or "yuu", and the length of the vowel is also not indicated). In most of these difficult cases, no changes would be made to the romanization due to lack of expertise. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 02:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

| ::Could we consider the Japanese game to not have been titled "Super Mario Bros. 2", as that's just the translation? :P For some reason I find the intended search result to be more important than the date convention and would be happier with the US version not receiving parenthetical notation.

Since this isn't the simple standardization task I thought it was, this decision should probably be up to more people than just me. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 16:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

| :::It's not a straightforward call. Argument #2 has been cited in a couple of naming convention arguments, and it is in line with your statement "the intended search result [is] more important." Which seems to suggest that you actually prefer the article names to remain the way that they are. Is that correct? The date convention applies to games which have the same name in the same region, e.g. two basketball games named Basketball in the US. In that case, the first game named Basketball gets it and everything else is disambiguated. The rationale for that is easy: If we insisted that the most recent game got the undisambiguated title, then you'd constantly have to revise the names of the articles belonging to the second most recent game.

| :::Hi guys. Yeah, as far as 2600 games go, Select and Reset would be "nice to have"s, as difficulty switches would be "nice" as well, but not entirely necessary. But seeing as how we go to the trouble of presenting every conceivable control input for the Wii, it might not be such a bad idea. Heck, if you're going to go that far, you could even include the colow/b&w switch. Very very few games make use of that as a toggle for something other than what it was intended, but there are a few out there. I think Starmaster let you use that switch to go back and forth between the 1st-person view and the map. So in order of importance, I would say:
| |
| * Joystick 1 (or Paddles 1 & 2)
| |
| * Fire button 1 (or Paddle buttons 1 & 2)
| |
| * Joystick 2 (or Paddles 3 & 4)
| |
| * Fire button 2 (or Paddle buttons 3 & 4)
| |
| * Reset
| |
| * Select
| |
| * Difficulty Switch 1 - B or A
| |
| * Difficulty Switch 2 - B or A (sometimes used to control a different aspect of difficulty for single player games)
| |
| * Color/B&W Switch (as mentioned above, may be used for something other than controller color output)
| |
| :::It's best to base those switches on the heavy-sixer model and not the four switch darth vader unit that put the difficulty switches on the back of the console. And then we're not even getting into the discussion of alternate controllers like Paddles, driving controller, and keypad controllers...

Much thanks! Trig - 06:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Trig Jegman (talk · contribs). Yeah, I captured a lot of those images personally, especially the single screen games like Combat, Bubble Bobble, Lode Runner, and Chack'n Pop. Other games like Castle Excellent and Athena were done so long ago, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate them again if I tried. I have a tendency to add markup to them in the process of making them consumable for a walkthrough. I know this isn't the most satisfactory answer, but it's the best I have right now. If I somehow conjure up the source for some of the other images, I'll let you know. But I'm more likely to stumble across them accidentally than intentionally. Procyon 03:01, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I need some guidance[edit]
Hi Procyon! Um, honestly I am kind of embarrassed on pinging you about this considering that you are the head of StrategyWiki, but the thing is, I want to ask for guidance from you regarding about some of my guides because recently I have been thinking of something, I want to know what you think and what will be your advice to me regarding about this, this will be somewhat long so I hope you have time to read, also thank you very much for writing on my Talk page along with Prod, so here it is, I've been thinking of this for quite a while now.
You see, I have these 2 games named Astrobatics and Alien Sky that I made a Stage 2 guide from, and what bothers me is that no matter how much I think of how to improve the guides for these 2 (I can still improve them, in fact 2 more overhauls each but it is not that significant anymore) I can't really think of what more I can provide for these 2 games to make the guides for them Stage 3 eligible, the issue I am thinking about is its levels, or missions as what the games refer, it is some sort of a real time mission
Here are some samples of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzhucERGqE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7X_VzuQG14
The problem with these missions is that they really can't be described anymore with text + picture, while these games have predictable pacing as what I mentioned in its Walkthrough page, this is a roadblock that I feel like its unnecessary to break through
Explaining these missions "down to the bone" as in referring to where would enemies come in, come out, and all that, just feels like unnecessary information and nobody would basically read it, a good example of a game just like this is Sky Force Reloaded, a game I have also nearly mastered a few months ago, I even have my runs in this game uploaded in my YouTube account and I can provide a sample, and just like these 2 games, Sky Force Reloaded also has the same kind of level, basically real time, it has predictable pacing but the levels are way too complex to be torn apart into text + picture form, if you want to recognize the levels of this game you would rather want to just do a trial and error, train your mind memory and muscle memory until you recognize where will enemies appear since enemy positions and appearances don't change, only drops do.
I have been thinking just now that what if the guides for Astrobatics and Alien Sky are already Stage 3 eligible at this point? I will still have to improve them but I believe once I did, they should be at least Stage 3 eligible, but I am afraid that some people may attempt to dispute its ranking and say that it may miss an information, which is also a big problem on my part because I cannot look for someone who has played these 2 games, finished it completely, and then decide to pay my guide a visit and judge it
Assuming that you gave me a go signal to make these guides Stage 3 eligible, I will take that into mind and once I have finally provided 2 more major overhauls I will upgrade it to Stage 3, then, if I was able to find someone who can read these guides and tell me how it is, if it came out as having a really good review saying that it is comprehensive enough, then I will upgrade it to Stage 4 but this is a process that I won't be able to do in just days unless if I am lucky enough to find one quick.
I am really sorry for the inconvenience Procyon, I have mentioned you on Discord about this but it seems that you are already not active in there, thank you. Stormshadow429 (talk) 07:24, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Make Betterer[edit]
Couldn't Castle Excellent/Walkthrough use template:scrolling map for its page now? Having that giant sprite doesn't seem like it is very helpful. Trig - 21:12, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I didn't realize that the file name was repurposed. I went ahead and fixed it without the scrolling map part. Not sure scrolling map would be very effective there, especially considering it's in a spoiler collapse. Could be a good idea, I'm not sure. Procyon 00:51, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless, better have a usable map than a not-usable map. Thanks for the change. Trig - 02:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Question[edit]
Hi i was wondering, would you prefer when writing an article (e.g. enemies guide), if i had to make a quick change and I didn’t have the time to go through an entire thing at once, would you prefer me to initially either list them as headers that are empty underneath or list them in dots points (in case) and then expand on them when i have the chance? Thank you Sclera1 (talk) 06:28, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
It's out of scope[edit]
User:MrNemesis/sandbox covers an out of scope game: Fandom Nintendo Page for Extreme Cross. Trig - 16:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Couldn't see what the page contained but I found some things that *might* have been the game?
Maybe this helps find if this was a legitimate game or not. Worst to worst, maybe we don't have one of these games and it can be added instead. Trig - 02:24, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- I appreciate you digging in to see if there was any real world examples of a game named Kikai. None of these seem to relate to the content that the user added, so it's difficult to determine whether the user's content was based on a real game in development, or more of a fantasy wish-list game. I'm not going to worry much about it though. Procyon 17:45, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

TY for work on the Mighty Bomb Jack page[edit]
Hey. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you did on the Mighty Bomb Jack page. I recently discovered it while trying to make a full game map. All I came for was the images of all the rooms so I could layer them together in a GIMP project... but then I noticed that crazy shortcut from 5 to 11! Turns out it saves time in speedruns compared to warping between the Palace Rooms. It helped me recently get World Record!
I was hoping you could tell me where you found that trick. Seems crazy to think someone could discover it by accident. Did you do a code disassembly or was it in some sort of Nintendo Power or old school strategy guide? SpaceColonizer (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- That information was sourced from a Japanese guide. I don't recall which one, it was a long time ago. Procyon 00:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Mother 1+2 Box[edit]
Thanks for bringing the file size to my attention. Do you think I could compress the existing file? I can't find any other good scans for the Mother 1+2 box online. Thanks for your time. GamingBound (talk) 19:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Magazine pages[edit]
Thanks for letting me know about the magazine scans. I will delete them shortly. (Edit: Actually, I can't delete them. I'll leave that up to you. Here are the pages I provided magazine pics to: Zelda, Zelda II, Mega Man 2, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, R.C. Pro-Am, Track and Field II, TMNT, and Castlevania II.)GamingBound (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Zelda II Box[edit]
Hello! Could you please find a way to fix the file for the Zelda II: The Adventure of Link box? I am not sure of how to properly downscale it so its file size isn't so big. Thank you. GamingBound (talk) 00:08, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Bye Bye![edit]
Hey....sorry about the callousness for my last message. I felt very frustrated and irritant at the time, so forgive the snarky-ness inherent in the message. I thank you for taking the time to respond to my queries, and I truly respect and appreciate everything you guys do here on this wiki (despite what my desires for it were). I hope we can part (and possibly meet again if I come back) on good terms. All my thanks, GamingBound (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
