:I plan on finishing the [[Shenmue]] guide, and noticed that it's lacking the Dreamcast dpad directions for the QTE sequences.

== Deletion of Section headers == | |||
So this brings up a major community issue that we need to propose, and that is the policy for how Walkthrough content should be. I.e., if it's a linear walkthrough that makes sense maybe we don't need a page. But otherwise most of the walkthrough pages are there to describe how the walkthrough is split up or what information the pages contain or how they are organized. It's like a section header with details. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 22:03, 29 July 2007 (CDT) | |||
:Ok so, I like what you did with Walkthrough, but Getting Started was better before, at least in theory. We should leave Controls and make Getting Started like Walkthrough in that we denote the various topics of the game pertaining to starting to play. For example, we might give basic controls or simply an explanation of the controls page (like the summaries on Walkthrough). For getting started, we need basic gameplay explanation (like I started before), basic controls with a link to Controls, explanation of what the differences in characters are, basic explanation of modes with link to Modes, etc. etc. with each of the sub pages under getting started linked to and noted and anything else also noted (like explaining the hit percentage counter at the bottom of the screen). --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 15:58, 30 July 2007 (CDT) | |||
:: I can dig it. In that case, the current [[Super Smash Bros. Melee/Getting Started|Getting Started]] page content should be moved to [[Super Smash Bros. Melee/Controls|Controls]]. The Basics page still should be deleted. The two pages Controls and Basics covered almost exactly the same thing, and Controls is a better name for it. --[[User:Blendmaster|blendmaster]] 18:25, 30 July 2007 (CDT) | |||

== System images == | |||
Hi Blendmaster. Could you have a go at creating some small (25px wide?) images of the hardware of the major systems? I want to try and extend {{t|uk}} (and the like) to use such icons for release dates for specific systems. Thanks. :-D --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 08:28, 8 August 2007 (CDT) | |||

:::: Right. I've uploaded those two (as [[:Image:Nds.png]] and [[:Image:Gbc.png]]). Now we just need icons for the rest of the IDs in [[Template:Icon#Systems|this list]] please (in your own time once you're back, though). I would rather like to replace the system logos with images of the hardware itself, but I think it's more important to fill in the IDs which have no icon at all first. :-) --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 04:42, 15 August 2007 (CDT) | |||
==Resizing== | |||
Sort of unrelated, can you resize the gameboy advance Start/Select buttons? They are massive and definitely would not look good inline with text. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 00:11, 9 August 2007 (CDT) | |||
:All done. I also resized the Ds start/select buttons for good measure. When I was making all the icons, I figured it was good to keep the fixed height at 24px. Obviously not a good idea. Right now, they're resized to make the text approximately 12pt. -- <em style="color: #aaa; font-style: normal" ><nowiki>[[</nowiki></em> [[User:Blendmaster|blendmaster]]<em style="color: #aaa; font-style: normal" > | </em>[[User talk:Blendmaster|talk]] <em style="color: #aaa; font-style: normal" ><nowiki>]]</nowiki></em> 13:14, 9 August 2007 (CDT) | |||
== Signatures == | |||
You've only seen half of it :P. I had that problem as well, but slightly bigger (as my old sig took up 7 lines in editing o.o), so I came up with a sneaky way around it. I have as my sig <nowiki>{{SUBST:User:Ryan Schmidt/sig2}}</nowiki>, and said page in turn contains <nowiki>{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}}</nowiki>, so it's a two-part process. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 14:36, 9 August 2007 (CDT) | |||

== DK Bongo Icons == | |||
I started adding the controls for Donkey Kong Jungle Beat today, and it'd be helpful to have some icons. Would you mind making some? The Left/Right bongos, Start/Pause button, and a microphone or clapping picture would be great :) | |||

:Awesome! Unfortunately, I'm taking a sort of hiatus from computers for two weeks starting Monday the 13th, so I won't be able to get them uploaded soon. If you can't wait, here is the [http://blendmaster.googlepages.com/dkcontrolls.svg svg file]. If you open it in [http://www.inkscape.org Inkscape] (free, all operating systems), you can copy and paste the individual controls to a separate file, and export each control as a 24px high png file. Then you can upload them, preferably following the naming conventions in [[Template:gc|my]] [[Template:ds|other]] [[Template:nes|templates]]. I think [[User:DrBob|DrBob]] knows Inkscape pretty well, so you can probably ask him for help if you need it. Sorry for forcing this on you, but I really can't use the computer for the next two weeks. And remember, if you don't mind waiting, I'll still get them uploaded when I get back, so don't feel obligated to do this. --{{User:Blendmaster/sig}} 22:27, 12 August 2007 (CDT) | |||

== Some new requests == | |||
Hi Blendmaster. I hope that you can help me out with some new requests. If you have a chance, we could use the following: | |||
# First, and foremost, a replacement for [[Image:Arcade-Button-Block.png]], that ugly thing I tried to create to represent Block in Mortal Kombat. I am teh suck. | |||
# Next, we probably could use the following, at least for The King of Fighters. We need something along the lines of: | |||
#* [[Image:Arcade-NeoGeo-A.png]] + [[Image:Arcade-Button-Lpunch.png]] = [[Image:Arcade-Button-APunch.png]] | |||
#* [[Image:Arcade-NeoGeo-B.png]] + [[Image:Arcade-Button-Lkick.png]] = [[Image:Arcade-Button-BKick.png]] | |||
#* [[Image:Arcade-NeoGeo-C.png]] + [[Image:Arcade-Button-Hpunch.png]] = [[Image:Arcade-Button-CPunch.png]] | |||
#* [[Image:Arcade-NeoGeo-D.png]] + [[Image:Arcade-Button-Hkick.png]] = [[Image:Arcade-Button-DKick.png]] | |||
# And very lowest on the priority scale, if you can do better than [[Image:Arcade-Button-Slash.png]] (for Slash in Samurai Shodown), I invite you to. | |||

:: You're welcome! That was the easy task. After much tribulation, I've got [http://blendmaster.googlepages.com/Arcade-Button-Block.png this] for a block button. I think it looks okay, but I figured I'd run it by you before I upload it. The hulk-like coloration is just for contrast with the kick and punch.

== Wiiquests == | |||
Hi Blendmaster. If you have any time available, would it be possible for you to make buttons so that [[Mortal Kombat: Armageddon/Controls|this page]] can be fully prettyised? We'll need buttons for the Wii classic controller, and the basic movements of the Wiimote. Thanks. --{{:User:DrBob/b}} 06:27, 6 October 2007 (CDT) | |||

:: They look good. It would probably be best to have them in a new template; perhaps "wcc" (for "Wii Classic Controller")? Would it be possible to do some icons for Wiimote pointer movement?
