Re: Please leave it next time

Crossposted among User talk:A proofreader, User talk:Joeytje50, and User talk:Degenret01.
Some clarifications, which I don't think are going to change what you said:

1. The maps are maps of spawn points, not roam ranges. In cases where the roam ranges are small (McGrubor's Wood, Dragontooth Isle, etc.), the map does include all the borders. In other cases (notably Piscatoris, Oo'glog, Rellekka, and Digsite to name only a few spawns in one range), they're not.
2. I don't think anyone was thinking of continuously updating penguin locations in place of spawn locations.
3. Although IMO w60 is the most popular penguin-hunting world, w71 has at least one group as well. (For double peng points in Oct 2011, w60 and its backup world w66, were the only two worlds where logins went into a queue; w71 and its backup world w99 didn't.) My understanding (I wasn't involved and didn't observe it) is that there has already been an extensive edit war on Jagex's wikified game guide regarding unofficial worlds. It's worth keeping in mind so nothing similar happens here.

HTH. --Saftzie (talk) 03:29, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

1. Well, for the largest roam range, the map of the range would be almost the whole world. Let's just say some penguins can leave the area where they spawn, and a map of the whole world wouldn't add much value.
2. ...
3. It was one day only and a Thursday. (Existential question: What was Jagex thinking?)

There has been no progress on any js for the table. In my life, I've written js, but I'm not primarily a coder. The discussion at the time was about hiding individual columns one by one, at the user's discretion. There was some code written (not by me) as a prototype, but never implemented, for just the map column. Ultimately my position was that update/maintenance of two tables with the same info on the same page seemed really silly, but if other people wanted to add the second one every week, that was fine. That's where we are now. Having a one-click solution that turns the big table into the small table goes even farther than one column at a time, but if we could do that, that actually seems pretty cool. My question would be what that would do to table maintenance. --Saftzie (talk) 05:29, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and the main w60 thread is by Canada Grrl. However the w71 thread is by Twillow, who is also a forum mod. --Saftzie (talk) 05:33, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Obsolete beta images due to 2nd human model update?

Remember in chat when I said I wasn't going to do any human-based images? It was because Jagex was working on a second facial update because players weren't satisfied with the first. After the second facial update, all the images that were updated after the first facial update (September) became obsolete.

Yes, we're still not doing any human images because the natural pose will change as well. You can easily see the difference between the base position of the live game and the beta. That's why I'm only doing beta images right now, so when EoC releases, it can simply be merged with the obsolete version.

You don't have to tag Obfile for now. Perhaps until the beta namespace is completely gone, when all the beta stuff is merged to mainspace. -- Spine^Talk 21:26, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

I suppose so. After all it'll take a while to merge the beta data to mainspace. -- Spine^Talk 21:33, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Challenge over protection of the Dragon Keepsake Key images

The file I have provided shows how the key retains the stat bonuses of chosen equipped items whilst appearing to wear other items. It is a good example of the key because it shows a cosmetic difference in the appearance of the character to what they would expect from a player wearing the bandos armour without storing the armadyl armour in the Dragon Keepsake Box. I mentioned in the wiki page edit that a player can wear nothing for the cosmetic override to work, but I wanted to show how the stat bonuses of the equipped armour carry over through the cosmetic appearance of the Dragon Keepsake Key's cosmetic armour, which is what Jagex supposed during the update description. I uploaded this file 10 minutes before you did, i am trying to come to some agreement with you. Is it possible to use both images because showing the Dragon Keepsake Key to make a player appear to wear Dragon (or) whilst wearing nothing is impressive, but it is more informative to show evidence of the stat retainments of the equipped armour over the cosmetic appearance.

I'm as calm as I'll get for now (I'm sure you know I've been having a shitty November) but as far as this situation (or any) is concerned, a ban is long overdue. Can you honestly say that you've seen a time where I'm not antagonising someone? I can't. I know I'm a dick, but I'm not as irrational as you think. I can think a few-thousand times per minute; I've thought about this particular thing a few million. It's not a rash decision, promise. What can I do (besides waiting) to prove to you that I stand by this decision. If you're still wondering why now?, you have to admit it'd be weird to request a chat ban in the middle of some friendly conversation (even weirder since those are rare for me). Now can you please just do it. Me requesting this ban is the most mature thing I've ever done in my time on the wiki. Let me have my moment. MolMan 23:19, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

Ban me now. I'll admit I was a tad irrational, but my decision still stands. I'd like my chat ban to end on the 20th; I'm sure I'll be needed when Hell breaks loose with the EoC update. Also, don't see it as a punishment, just a nice, needed, long-overdue break. MolMan 19:38, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Forum summaries

I did start trying to group relevant/linked forum topics together (I'll see if I can dig it out). It might be worth creating a forum archive summary of passed/rejected forums? I'd leave out those with nominator withdrawal as they rarely have any effect on the wiki, those that don't have any need to be a forum (such as a bug in game) and maybe those closed along the lines of be bold. Thoughts?

It saves us having to rely on older users who actually remember these threads, a lot of which are going inactive these days. cqm 11:42, 26 Nov 2012 (UTC) (UTC)

Also (as I just noticed this) can you change the class of the monobook custom preload insert button from class="button" to class="editButton". Looks less out of place next to the other buttons in monobook. ([[MediaWiki:Common.js/preload.js|Handy link]]). The relevent line is:

$( '#lf-preload-button' ).html( '<input type="button" class="button" value="Insert" onclick="doCustomPreload()" />' );

Thanks cqm 11:42, 26 Nov 2012 (UTC) (UTC)

I'm working on a form that will output the template code for copy/pasting, having given up on making the template do it itself. I think it's possible, but the forms seem to require {{#dpl: rather that <DPL>, which I'm not used to using. There seems to be some differences with how you can format the result. When I'm done, you'll be able to input the Forum title (no namespace, I can adjust the dpl lists if you want to just c/p it), subject, closure and notes into the form, submit it and paste the result into the correct place, which should alleviate the problems with having to fill out the parameters manually. I use a extremely simple form on the Lores Project Game Update FAQs because I can never remember the parameters for {{CiteForum}}.

Just having some problems with the time parser at the moment... cqm 12:15, 27 Nov 2012 (UTC) (UTC)

Finally managed it. Only took me 4.5 hours, learning about mw:Extension:StringFunctions and poring through the yew grove archives dpl. The template will now replace the date format with british numerical timestamps: dd/mm/yyyy, for easier sorting. Can't say I understand why American's choose to order things by month rather than day, but it makes no sense when trying to sort them chronologically. cqm 14:41, 27 Nov 2012 (UTC) (UTC)

I've split the archives after getting tired of waiting for them to load (I doubt the js in the sortable table helps). I've also updated the DPL that can be used to generate the table rows and added an omitted forums list for those that really aren't worth listing. Sadly, I'm back in work as of tomorrow so this may take a couple of weeks to complete, although there seems to be a fair bit of interest from other users, assuming they have time. cqm 01:07, 30 Nov 2012 (UTC) (UTC)

That or it's because the SQL searches for anything that starts with the page name and ends in a numeral. You break things.

Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters.^[1] In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area. The related term kern denotes a part of a type letter that overhangs the edge of the type block.
