File Deletion

I was wondering if you could remove both copies of http://tcrf.net/File:KI2_Kim_Wu_Spirit_Move.gif when possible. I have created a new higher quality version of this file, though either my browser is caching the file, or the re-upload of this file is not working. Any help is appreciated. --Abystus 01:09, 17 May 2013 (EDT)

Thanks

Appreciate the help. Hopefully the next upload works.

So I see you're deleting things

Mind halpin' me? These things need deletan': [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and [10]. Thanks :D 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 22:30, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

Hey, we got a bit of backup at Category:Articles for deletion. I'd clear it out myself, but sadly I'm not an admin :( 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 15:44, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

Man, is there so much stuff there. I'll be getting rid of most of it.--From: divingkataetheweirdo 16:05, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

Thank You

Thanks for helping with the image! --Tiger21820 15:13, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

You're welcome. I hope your contributions improve in the future. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 15:24, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

So do I. Well don't worry, I won't let any of you down! --Tiger21820 15:54, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

And thank you for pitching in and helping me (mostly), and Einstein clear the Uncategorized Files log! I already went and cleared as much of the Uncategorized Pages log as I could, but the remaining pages on the log...well I can't figure out how to categorize them without breaking things, so I left a message for BMF, asking him what to do. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 23:46, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

Halo CEA Image files

I couldn't upload them at 1280x720 because the filesize was way too big. --Errorjack 15:35, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

Yikes. Sorry about that. And this after using PNGCrush to get them down in filesize? On that note, you can upload the images elsewhere and use this site's upload thingy to upload it.--From: divingkataetheweirdo 15:36, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

Thanks

Thanks for that music rip from Quest 64 and conversion to an .ogg file! What's your method? -Chpexo 02:42, 18 May 2013 (EDT)

Basically, I used Winamp to convert the soundtrack from a USF rip to a lossless PCM file, then convert it to a .ogg again with Audacity. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 03:06, 18 May 2013 (EDT)

Double Dragon (Amstrad CPC, Richard Aplin)‎‎

I've done a bit of research, and should we identify this by the programmer (Richard Aplin) as it is currently or the developer (Binary Design vs. Animagic), the year (1988 vs. 1989), or the media (Disk vs. Tape)?

- Einstein95 18:42, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

My vote goes for company on the title name, programmer / format on the article. // Foxhack 18:52, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

I went with the author, as I wasn't sure if the other version was released in 1989. Technically speaking, both versions have Binary Design credited. I also wouldn't do stuff based on medium, unless I'm absolutely sure that no author is credited or no date is assigned. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 19:02, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

The Aplin version (based on the Amiga / AtariST version) was published by Virgin Mastertronic, while the other one (based on the Spectrum version) was published by Melbourne House, at least according to Double Dragon Dojo. Since there's precedent for using a company name to separate two games with the same name but different publisher (see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on NES), I'd move this to Double Dragon (Amstrad CPC, Virgin Mastertronic). // Foxhack 19:51, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

I've moved the Aplin version elsewhere as you suggested, Foxhack. Although, it is worth noting the two brands (Mastertronic and Melbourne) were both part of Virgin. =/ --From: divingkataetheweirdo 19:57, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

Yep. Acclaim also had several publishing branches - remember Flying Edge and Arena Entertainment on the Genesis? It happen(ed) more often than you'd think. ;) // Foxhack 20:01, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

Unused Sounds

On 2003 PC verison of sonic adventure,there are a plenty of unused textures and sounds. a page must be created. --Igor The Kid Mii 17:16, 28 May 2013 (EDT) WE I GO!

You need to extract those textures and sounds first before creating a page for the game. (Traduzido por Google Translate: Você precisa extrair as texturas e sons antes de criar uma página para o jogo.) --From: divingkataetheweirdo 17:18, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

the unused sounds are on VMA while the unused textures is PVM fommat! (you need PVMEdit to rip them,trough.) oh please stop saying like brazilian. i understand english!

A question

So do I need to tag my images? --8SomaCruzes 15:52, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

Yep. You do need to tag your images when uploading them. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 16:00, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

F7 70

What was this Animal Breeder image of that you deleted? I don't remember or I forgot to document it and since you didn't reply on IRC, I figure posting here is the better option. - nensondubois 15:58, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

It was an image you said was not the one you intended to upload and you had a delete tag put into the file's page. It was a huge 1340*760 something black image.--From: divingkataetheweirdo 15:59, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

Ok, I remember now. Thanks! - nensondubois 16:01, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

JPEG

Sorry about that, won't happen again, but I have to ask, why exactly are you guys against jpegs? SMB123 15:30, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

Pretty much for clarity purposes. If you've been outside of TCRF, you'll notice sprite rips in .jpeg format. Compare those to .png format. JPEGs are only suitable for IRL photographs, since they have noise added over the picture. This is an example of how crud .jpegs are (PNG on the left, JPEG on the right). --From: divingkataetheweirdo 15:39, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

Game that is not on here.

Luigi's mansion dark moon? we are fans and it is not on her! DONT DELETE IT EVER AGAIN! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nymphia (talk) • (contribs)

I'm sorry, but no. This is not how the wiki is run. I acknowledge that you are a fan of Dark Moon. There are regional differences for the game. However, you added nothing of worthiness in terms of this wiki's scope. All you documented was the game's naming history, which isn't notable in the context of this wiki, as it isn't really unused content in of itself. Furthermore, the 3DS has yet to be emulated in a proper format and there aren't even simple hacks for the 3DS as of yet, so we don't know what is unused. In the meantime, I strongly suggest reading the guidelines before contributing any further. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 15:49, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

Useless edits

Just saying, you didnt had to edit the pac-man article... The file is INSIDE the archive.... and it's not the archive itself who is the uncompiled map... --From: Jeanmich02 17:19 12 September 2013 (EDT)

I edited it mostly to fix the bob's title (No platform names in the title). As for that archive thing, sorry about that. I forgot to fix that last night. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 20:11, 12 September 2013 (EDT)

By the way, that MarkusRaebo guy

He certainly was a spam bot. For sure. --From: JeanMich02 12:52, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

It was a piece of cake for me to figure out it was a spambot, especially since his IP address is on StopForumSpam. =/ --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 12:57, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

Oh the irony! By the way, did the other accounts were made by the same ip? --From: JeanMich02 13:22, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

Surprisingly, that is not the case. Still, I banned an IP address due to that address being listed over 32,000 times on SFS. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 14:24, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

Spam on TCR

Hey, what can we do to stop thoses spam bots from making accounts? They are annoying. --From: JeanMich02 01:02, 14 October 2013 (EDT)

We can't block 100% of spambot registrations without either resorting to very user-unfriendly methods or disabling registration entirely. There is no "one size fits all" solution to the problem because spammers are constantly updating their software to work around the latest blocking methods. --BMF54123 (talk) 01:38, 14 October 2013 (EDT)

When deleting spam pages, be sure to either blank or otherwise change the summary so URLs don't slip through! --BMF54123 (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Unconfirmed content

I think I found some content for use on TCRF, But I have not yet confirmed it. Should I Create a subpage on my user page or confirm the non-use of it first?

Try to confirm whether it's used or not first. If you need help, you can always post a topic on Jul's TCRF forum. --BMF54123 (talk) 18:03, 25 November 2013 (EST)

What the?

What were you trying to do on the Unused Sounds subpage of TF2? :P 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 19:49, 6 December 2013 (EST)

I accidentally clicked the rollback button. That happens a bit more frequently than I'd like to admit.--From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 19:51, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Lol! I am having some issues with the Upload Wizard. I've got 49 OGG files "uploaded", but clicking "Continue" does nothing, so I can't move forward to add the soundfile template to them. I'm using the latest Firefox, so I'm wondering if this is a known issue. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 19:53, 6 December 2013 (EST)

It's tough to say, because I've certainly never really heard of that before. I think one or two users have brought it up in the forum before. Odd since the Wikimedia blog has a thing about uploading a million files. Can you take a screenshot of it? More likely, it wants a bunch of needless info filled in before it's uploaded.--From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 20:04, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Basically, you can drag and drop files onto the "wizard" and they begin "uploading" (though they aren't really uploaded onto the site yet). Once they've "uploaded", you're supposed to click the "Continue" button to move to the next part of the wizard which is Licensing, and then again to the description. However, the Continue button does not advance the wizard to the next page. With problems like this, we really should get rid of the bloody thing and switch to something different. There's the original Special:MultiUpload, and there's also something else I've seen called MsUpload. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 20:10, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Oh, and our upload wizard seems to have a hardcoded file limit of 50 files, but the bloody thing counts wrong and only uploads 49. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 20:11, 6 December 2013 (EST)

So I installed Chrome and ran the Upload Wizard, uploading an OGG file. Seems there's some errors when the Wizard tries to move to the details/licensing pages.

I don't know who here is in charge of Javascript extensions and such, but we should probably notify them and let them know this needs to be fixed.

And also this: Failed to load resource http://www.projectwonderful.com/pwa.js. I don't know what PWA.js is, or if the Wiki uses it, but there ya go. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 20:18, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Thanks for fixing that lack of a template for me. It's 11:01PM here, I'm so close to being done uploading unused TF2 sounds, and I'm tired, so it's no shock I missed that. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 23:02, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Dragon Ball Z The Legacy Of Goku

Thanks for deleting the file but i was about to upload a new one. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zelda 64 (talk) • (contribs)

OK then. In the future, I'll just tag any further offending images. Just make sure you upload things in the proper format, though. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 02:30, 23 December 2013 (EST)

dang it i uploaded another. this time proper format taken from an emulator but it's way too big. im sorry — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zelda 64 (talk) • (contribs)

In the future, you may want to read all the guidelines and rules.--From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 02:33, 23 December 2013 (EST)

i did. sorry i was a bit of a noob. and i went to get a title capture then i saw you did it for me. Thank you! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zelda 64 (talk) • (contribs)

Korean StarCraft page?

So with this new page translation thing, do you think we can try to get a Korean StarCraft page? Chaossy - The Computer Geek (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Pages are marked for translation and individual users can then translate any page into their native language. Currently, we are trying to localize the help and intro pages into any languages we can without resorting to automatic translation tool. I'd say we do that in Korean before doing the StarCraft page. I'm also curious if you can speak/write Korean to a proficient degree to translate it.--From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 01:35, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Alright, that's a good start. And for the latter question, sadly I don't. I'm mainly into Japanese but since StarCraft is big in Korea, I thought it wouldn't hurt to do that page in Korean. Chaossy - The Computer Geek (talk) 01:43, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Three things about translating

I'd like to translate some of TCRF's pages, as per the most recent project going on, and I have three questions. First, would it be fine to translate to European Portuguese? I can see a Brazilian Portuguese translation is underway, but both version of Portuguese vary a fair bit, so making an European one wouldn't hurt, would it? Secondly, I can see "Translate this page" at the top of, for instance, the main page, and I've looked around the page it takes me to for a bit. There's nothing complicated about it, is there? People who want to translate just go to that page and do it, right? Thirdly, shouldn't the translation guidelines point out somewhere that when people translate the main page into a different language, that they should point out that the majority of TCRF's articles are in English? Otherwise, people who come around and are, say, Italian, will notice a fully Italian front page, assume the site works in Italian, and contribute with a new game page fully in Italian! {Espyo^T} 13:34, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Her are my responses to your questions:

1. Go right ahead and do it in European Portuguese.
2. It's a bit difficult to do it at first. It involves using a translate template <translate><!--T1--> to mark out which portions need translating.
3. That's actually a good point. In foreign language pages, we will indeed point that out.--From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 13:59, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Translation

I would like to translate some pages into German. GermanPokemon (talk) 10:12, 26 December 2013 (EST)

At the moment, we're currently translating the various help pages and the intro pages into various languages. You can click on "Translate this page" on these select pages, as well as a few games like Wind Waker. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 13:15, 26 December 2013 (EST)

I can do that :D Are the Wind Waker subpages translateable?

GermanPokemon (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2013 (EST)

They can be translated now. I've marked them for translation. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 13:56, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Prototype

Thanks for correcting my oversight. I assumed moving it to a separate page wasn't needed, since it's just one thing. :) Tagaziel (talk) 04:38, 15 January 2014 (EST)

Company sub-categories

This is just to ask if you could, when making a category with [[Category:Games * by [Company]]], to make it a sub-category if the company is owned by another (eg. Sonic Team and Sega, Nintendo R&D1 and Nintendo).

Thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on IRC. -Einstein95 (talk) 20:54, 15 January 2014 (EST)

Euro Truck Driver 2

Yeah, it's the icon the exe uses more or less http://i.imgur.com/7MY0xKq.png

Duke Nukem 3D

Regarding to your edit, it seems you promised to a merged rip of the Organic Turret but forgot to do it on the Duke Nukem 3D page. --Chpexo

Whoops. I'll whip an image up in about 15 minutes. I said that because there's already a version with all those sprites on the page, just in one file. However, the current version is a bit large for my liking. I wanted to downsize it to the correct-ish size. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 21:56, 28 February 2014 (EST)

Moving WIP pages to userspace

I'm doing preliminary work on Angel of Darkness, and I tried to move it, but I couldn't get it under my username. How did you do it? WhoIAm (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2014 (EDT)

After selecting User, you want to add your username, followed by a '/', at the beginning of the page name. So, it would be "WhoIAm/Tomb Raider:The Angel of Darkness", along with a "User" namespace selected. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2014 (EDT)

Thank You!

Hey, thanks for giving my image the proper tag. I was in a rush and forgot to put it on. --SoapyLemons (talk) 19:06, 14 March 2014 (EDT)

UT image

That's not a model render; its from the game. In the single player mode, the game shows an image of a character you'll be facing in a black box with text about the character overlaid on the model. I just snapped an image before the text was printed. http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/3/2618/ladder.jpg is an example of how it looks in-game. Teflon (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2014 (EDT)

Watch Dogs Page

So you're saying make it something like this?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by No1dead (talk) • (contribs)

That's better, but you also need to actually describe the content in question and upload pictures, not just simply list what exists in the game's data. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 23:53, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

Check out other pages, like this one and you will see what divingkataetheweirdo is talking about. -Einstein95 (talk) 23:56, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for helping with my files

I was unsure how to use the Upload Wizard properly. Good guess too, they were taken from the 360 version (as I mentioned once on the talk page I initially got all these files in strange chimpunk quality - because I was trying to rip them from the PS3 version). --DrTremolo (talk) 18:46, 15 June 2014 (EDT)

The cartoon icons from Maelstrom

The icons you uploaded as being included in versions 1.3~1.3.2 are based on two recognizable characters from Berkeley Breathed's work - specifically, Opus the Penguin and Bill the Cat. I didn't want to jump in while you were still editing the page, but I imagine they were almost certainly removed due to fear of copyright infringement. 7HeroesForceBattle (talk) 00:57, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for pointing it out. I've update the article with this info. It most definitely isn't the only thing that was change due to copyright issues. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 01:52, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

Harry Potter PC games, Aspyr

So, now that we've split the Macintosh category, is it OK to add Aspyr as the Mac publisher for the Harry Potter PC games? --BreakingBenny (talk) 09:41, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

Definitely. Keep in mind the first two Harry Potter games were ported for both the Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X. They also never got past the second game, instead repackaging the first two games into a deluxe edition. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 15:48, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

Is this allowed?

Hi, so I'm planning to make an article, but there's no known unused things yet, instead, there was a prototype version of the game. Is it okay if I make a prototype article, but no main article for the game? --EP41 (talk) 20:35, 7 August 2014 (EDT)
