Hello
Hello there, and welcome to the RuneScape Wiki! I be Stinkowing! If you are new to editing, take a gander at the Wiki Style Guide for help on editing! Also, please sign forum posts and edits on talk pages with this button:. You can also type four tildes like this: ~, or make your own signature. Just don't sign articles in the main namespace, because nobody owns articles. If you want to ask me something, just contact me in-game by adding Stinkowing to your Friend List, or by posting on my talk page (clicking "KOOKY COOKIES" on my signature will take you there). The main point is simple: Have fun editing! P.S.: Didn't you edit the Wikipedia RS article? I know you if that's the case...you might not remember me though! (I am Pikang on Wikipedia)


 * Ya, that's me. Surprised to see you're still around lol.
 * I just have to take care of some business that I was too lazy to do for a long time, that's all. Tarikochi 00:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you prove you created those images? Christine Talk 00:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have the dates of when they were created, and some more that were never released to public. Tarikochi 00:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Ah, thank you for finally joining the RuneScape Wiki! We have been limited to just a few of your images pulled from Wikipedia before they were deleted, but with your return we can finally have the full collection. I am confident your images will be received well here as you remain the best RuneScape image-maker in my opinion. 01:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear you like them :).
 * So far, all I'm doing at the moment is returning old ones, and seeing as how this is a RuneScape Wiki, I assume fancruft would not be a problem.
 * I still have a few more that have certain issues. One is the High Alchemy Animation you requested a year ago lol (someone else apparently covered that, so I don't need to upload it unless you want some Skeletal Outfit or something).  The other is the casting of Ancient Magicks, which I'm not sure what to do with.  While it would not normally be an issue, the fact is: I'm holding a completely irrelevant weapon (D2H) while casting the Spells (which can be differentiated between Rush/Blitz and Burst/Barrage) O.O .  I'll upload it and let you decide whether to keep 'em or not.
 * Later, assuming I have time, I'll go update some old ones (Kalphite Queen again gah) and also add a few new ones.
 * By the way, if you want to access all of the images I re-uploaded (doesn't include the ones that were my images uploaded by other people), they can all be found in the image of my favourite hat at the bottom lol:
 * http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Bowman_hat.png
 * Hopefully these images will find a better home and use here than in the original :p.
 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 01:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, your animations finally have a loving home. :P As for the ones you're not sure about, upload them anyway. Any image is better than no image at all. As you said, you can just reupload once a more suitable version is created. 02:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Emote
Would it bother you if I added my agility emote in addition to yours? I don't have it yet, but when I do it will have a fairly high resolution. --Mura 05:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't bother me much at all (mainly because it isn't me in the animation lol).
 * However, I am not sure how the others would deal with it, as having two Agility Emotes side-by-side may seem repetitive to them.
 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 07:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. As for how it looks... we'll see. I'm barely half-way anyways. --Mura 07:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Proof
I'll be adding ChikoritaPro ingame for proof because we already have some Zezima poser. —Clerks (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment.
 * I will need your in-game username, as until I get P2P back, I do not feel like turning Private Chat to "On". [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 07:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's Tarikochi. I can tell. Enough with the suspicion. 07:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Good Job!
I'm here to thank you for your contributions, I hope you contiune to keep up the good work and run for adminship. You may be wondering why I'm on an IP, I'm Blankothe3rd, and will tell you why. I was blocked on my Account and IP for various reasons, I choose to contiune editing via IP until I will be unblocked, which will be in a week or so. Anyways, Good Job and keep up the good Job! Blanko, of the third.
 * Thanks. I have very little interest in adminship though.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 07:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: As a fellow House Enthusiast
You're welcome to visit my house when you get P2P back again. I might have house parties towards the end of the year again (while I work on my prayer at my alter).

As for the 20 room limit, I had to rearrange my house, loosing the top floor (so I did not have so many stairs rooms) and part of my dungeon because I wanted a second portal chamber and a costume room. Now they they have increased the limit, I might add a bit more to my dungeon again, but not until I'm working on construction again (probably in about 12 months time). 14:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear, though I'd most likely be too busy with real life things to continue with P2P for the end of the year. Oh well, there's still plenty of time once things settle down.
 * I also suffered from the 20 room limit, but I manage to solve a way to get an actual house-like appearance and still kept both Teleport Chambers and the 2nd floor (still currently 8 rooms in my 2nd floor when I left it lol). The only sacrifice made was that I have a pitifully small dungeon, which is alright since I designed it where it'll make a very interesting place to fight (gateless Fire Pit FTW).
 * With the 10+ potential Rooms increase, my dungeon won't look like a basement anymore I hope. Not as large as yours with my priorities to the upper floors, but sufficient.
 * Either way, good luck with your plans on that. I'll be sure to decorate the Wikia with stuff involving that also.
 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 15:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Animated images
What tool do you use to capture the animated images in GIF format from Runescape? For example, if I wanted to capture an animation of the crafting skill cape. If necessary, I can edit using a combination of Microsoft GIF Animator (to access the frames) and Paint.Net for the actual editing. The problem is the capture. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. 16:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I use Camtasia (full name Camtasia Studio 3) to work with the process of creating the images.
 * I first use Camtasia Recorder to capture videos live in-game, which is saved into either the .CAMREC format or .AVI format (the one I picked).
 * I then use Camtasia Studio in the same package to crop the video to a certain length and use it to save as a .GIF file.
 * If you want to get the capture, just use the Camtasia Recorder portion of Camtasia Studio 3. Just know that you cannot capture it straight to the .GIF format, as it has to go through Camtasia Studio first before you enter it into Microsoft GIF Animator.
 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 21:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I too had come across your lovely animations on Wikipedia. Is the a place where I can find a trial version of the program?

Vandal
He's been dealt with. 07:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Concerning Marble/Magic Cape Rack
I hadn't actually noticed that. Thanks for spotting that. I might still build the magic one when I can, just to see what it looks like.

Also having seen the image of the greater magic cage that you uploaded, I might replace my lesser one sometime. Although I won't replace it until after I get 99 prayer (probably about the end of this year). The reason is that when I do prayer I use my alter, and tend to allow others in the house too (so the house says loaded in the servers memory, so faster to teleport back to house). Sometimes people try to get into the house during the brief times I've teleported to Edgeville to restock on dragon bones, but this does not occur too often. If I had the greater magic cage, then too many people will be kicked out the house and want to get in (because of the option of kicking out the house).

Btw, do you know if the fairy in the games room treasure hunt game will hide in the dungeon rooms too? It would be interesting to see what it's like trying to find the fairy in a busy dungeon! I'm thinking of adding 4 more dungeon rooms, which still should leave me with 3 more spare rooms for future room types (if I get to 99 construction). 10:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Trust me, having guests getting booted from the house via Greater Magic Cage is the least of your worries. You have yet to experience the horrors of Lever Huggers who do nothing but find amusement in TELEPORTING people around the world for hours, trimming the visitor count to a fraction.  The "Expel" Option is actually least used on my Greater Cage in my parties.


 * I'm just thankful that Jagex FINALLY fixed it where it teleported people just for standing next to it (even without standing IN it). It is your decision whether to make the Greater Magic Cage or not, but I HIGHLY recommend against it until Jagex introduces Lever Control.  As for me, the only good thing that thing did was allow me to grab an animation of it.


 * As for that Fairy Game, I really haven't experienced much with it (the only reason why I got it was because the Hangman game has been overdone and it SPAMs the chat). I'm not sure if it works in the dungeon, but I think I recall someone getting it in my Dungeon Stairs Room before (with the game being on the 2nd floor).  Don't count my word on that one.  I know for sure that second floor Fairy Hunt Game can bring you to first floor, and I think it is possible to get in the second floor also.  Good luck in your plans at that either way.  Just know the best motivation to get people to play that game in a crowded dungeon is the 50K in your Gilded Mahogany Chest they constantly beg you to start a game for :p.


 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 10:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The Level Huggers that teleport people around they world, are they using a feature of the greater magic cage (does not mention about teleporting elsewhere) or are they just doing things like teleport group or teleport other?


 * As for the games rooms, I'm thinking of having ones with treasure hunter and one for hangman. I used to have hangman before (when I had a second floor), and I also tried the treasure hunter game too (but I did not have a dungeon then). I'm thinking of just having the games and not the reward chests because when I had parties, I kept having people PM'ing me asking me to set up the games. So the games will purely be for fun. 10:50, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Despite what the Knowledge Base says, teleporting people is a feature that's included in the Greater Cage, which was used by the Lever Huggers. The Greater Cage can teleport whoever that is in (used to be in and next to) the cage to a location that you have a Teleportal in your Portal Chamber to.  I have six different Teleportals, so the Lever Huggers have six different Teleport destinations, heavily favoring either Yanille or Canifis.


 * And it would be nice for people to play for fun for once. Instead of trying to find profit in someone else's house.


 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 10:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, now I understand the problem. I have 6 portals in my house too, so would also have the same problem. I think I'll give the greater magic cage a miss then. Thanks for the advice. 11:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Images with unnecessary animation?
Don't get me wrong, I prefer animated images, but there are some times where your animated images, such as a costume room, don't really need animation... Cool Spy0 05:23, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The previous image of the Costume Room still had the "Walk here" option on it. As for the Games Room one, it wasn't very visible.
 * Also, it is impossible to get an entire room in a house without your character in it. And since my character is facing backwards, if I take a screenshot of a still Fire Cape, it would look off.  I also rather not change outfits.
 * And having all the room-related ones animated would be nice for consistency.
 * Besides, I've made sure those animations do not use up an absurd amount of memory, and the quality still remains pretty decent, so I'm not sure if it isn't an issue anyways.
 * I know about unnecessary animations also, but some may like it more. Hyenaste comes to mind.

Lolz
I got 99 Agility, PM me whenever you want. -- 16:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright, just came back from winning a Pokémon Tournament. PM me in-game when my Private Chat is "On" (which is getting unlikely with the AFK CWing, so I might be in IRC).  Don't forget to have the Herbs ready to trade for Potions.  May still have confusing times due to insomnia.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 08:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


 * 'Gratz on the tournament XD. I'll probably be pulling an all-nighter tonight, 'cause I'm having trouble sleeping as well. I found I have about 75 Lantadymes lurking in my bank, I supposed you'll be wanting those as well. -- 08:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
Good job on reverting. :-) I blocked him for 3 months, I dunno if that's enough lol, just had to do it quick.

Re: Agilty Emote Animation

 * It's hard for me to choose, but if I had to decide between the two, I would choose the second one because of the perspective. Again, this computer cannot view animations ('cause it sucks), so if you don't mind, could you upload it for me?


 * Thanks. -- 10:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Image:Runescape emote skillcape agility-2.gif


 * Uploaded. You owe me more Herbs for this.
 * [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 21:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Lolz, I don't have any now.-- 21:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, for some reason, I can view the animation now; it looks great. Mind if I replace it now? -- 00:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

My absurdly boring and generic requested image

 * It's wonderful. You even wore the green set which is just lovely :D 23:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, now instead of random people saying "omfg it's chikoritapro!", they'll say "oh hi thar complete stranger nice hat".
 * That animation still has lag in it, but if you really want to use it, go for it.

tit for tat
I made you a picture. 4K!DS presents... It is based on your vulpix revelation last night. 02:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but that image is just completely inaccurate... I mean, this is 4Kids we are talking about...  If it was Game Freak, then it'd be much more appropriate (H).  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 02:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Special Attack Images
Hmmm...The monsters you attack in those images, all seem to have 1 hitpoint. Like Kakrida. Did you just edit the pictures for the heck of it,or did you weaken them somehow, or did they actually have 1 hit originally? Meh... --15:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The only NPC I use the Special Attacks on is Skraeling of Etceteria, who conveniently only has 1 HP, lower than the Chicken in the same location lol. [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 16:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks.--21:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Way too much pretty
Whoa, nice job. 21:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I'm not even half-way done yet, as I have uploaded 130+ images a few days ago. [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 21:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Non-enchanted Bolts
It can cause confusion. If you look at Pearl bolts and Enchanted pearl bolts they look like clones, and this could confuse people that have seen both articles who forget what page they are on. 20:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * To most people, they almost are clones anyways, as not many people even use the gem-tipped bolts without enchanting em right away. A consensus I could think of is just relocating the image on the non-enchanted versions so that the pages dont look like they repeat when going to the enchanted version.

Category
I know you are Respected and all, however. Do we need a Category for you? If so, then I should deserve a Category named Beatsta Productions for everything that is produced by it. I don't hate you, but just think. Mr. Reeves 20:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Before becoming an Admin
It seems that the odds are in your favour. Anyways, once (if) you become an admin, you might want to go over most of the pages listed on this page and also take a look at a few special pages listed below.


 * User Block Policy
 * Protection Policy
 * Deletion Policy

If you've already read these pages, I suggest you skim over them. I think you'll make a great admin. =D 17:17, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yep, I've already read them as soon as I signed that contract, but I'll go ahead and re-read it. Thanks.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 17:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. Just reminding you. 17:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

The many wonders of cheese.
"I will upload and place them into articles on the Wikia later without your permission."

Although I know it's not your intent, you make it sound like you expect me not to grant permission, but despite that you plan on putting them up anyway. Anyone else could misinterpret this, and freak out. But it's cool, so don't worry :P

What do you plan on using the second animation for? I don't quite see the usefulness of my depressed sarcasm going up on the wiki. I really was sad by how much "omg I got nothing" and "give me 1 plzzzzz" I saw. My eyes even misted up at that soab group. Unless this has a good purpose, I would prefer you not put it up. <font color="Blue">Ojdude <font color="Black">talk |undefined


 * They will go into the Drop party and Public chat articles. And this is RoonScape; I knew the results of the attitudes of the players participating in the drop party the moment you announced it.


 * Oh yea, the only other chat-related one I plan on uploading soon is this one: [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 06:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

About the animations
Can you tell me how you were able to record the animations without significant quality loss? It would be helpful if I knew. (Also, where exactly did you take the crossbow animations? How did you manage to not kill him?) Thanks. Doomedrusher<font color="Blue">|Talk| <font color="Green">|Contributions| 13:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The animations first started as .AVI video clips recorded straight from the game. Most people start with .CAMREC, but I prefer .AVI more, which may have some difference.


 * I adjust the qualities of the .GIF file by working on the Advanced Options section after selecting .GIF file with the "Include Windows colors" and "Dithered color reduction" options. There are four different combination of those in the Optimized palette that produces different results.


 * The option that I think gives the least quality lost is if the "Dithered color reduction" option is the only one checked. However, doing this may give a horrible image result, so checking all four possible combinations would be the best way to tell which is the best one to use.


 * The Crossbow animations came from a temporary dungeon room in my house, so that we can have complete privacy in doing these. Also, I used accurate mode so that it'll go slow enough to be able to stop when the effect triggers.  And he died several times doing it: I just keep the ones where he didn't die (which isn't that hard except for the Dragon's Breath and maybe the Life Leech ones).

Thanks for reverting to the old one. I uplodaed the one I tried to crop, but I didn't veiw it until now and found I was unsuccessful.


 * Sure. I would probably end up cropping that image once I get a decent image cropper. I need one for my next set of animations anyways.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 21:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get back to you before, I didn't know I had new messages on the Ojdude account O.o

Anyway, I updated Oj's user page stating that this is my new wiki account. Do you think that was total rune who attacked the wiki last night? I gotta admit, despite the terrorism, that was kindof funny :P, I notice neither of them were on ingame, so I couldn't use the crown-o-intimidation. *cries* 21:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, one other thing. I had to go on a little quest to find your talk page, since your signature doesn't have a link to it. If you want to know how to get one in there (actually, it's required, but I doubt that rule's enforced much) then check out the coding for some of our signatures. 21:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It did seem strange, as while I have no problems with people's sexual orientation, it is unusual for someone to be that open about it to an obvious spammer and started wishing that those people have the same sexual orientation.


 * And I know about my signature, but I prefer it like this. My userpage has nothing anyways, so it's pointless to link it now, lol.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 21:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh I was just playing along. I hate queers (well, not hate, but "strongly dislike" after having a guy at high school ask me to homecoming). I'm an excellent exception to the saying "imitation is the best form of flattery". But, since they didn't expect anyone to be gay (who would?) I wanted to see how they'd react. I love toying with these people, whether they're gold sellers (I spam them, and record conversations with them on msn :P), queers, or weirdos pretending to be girls for whatever reasons. hmm... ready for a story? Well, after they kicked me out of high school (school counselor decided I was suicidally depressed), they made me go see a shrink. Part of one of our sessions went like this:

him: I want you to get a girlfriend. It'll give your life a bit more meaning.

me: ok...

him: So imagine you go down the stairs and this really cute girl is there saying "omigosh you're so cute! What's your phone number?" What do you do?

me: Don't give her my number. She's obviously a ditz, and knowing the people in our town, probably a pothead too. I'd bet money she has the i.q. of a carrot.

him: Allright... how about you go down the stairs and this really HOT and smart girl sees you and says "Whoa, you were in honors biology with me! You were the cute guy! Let's exchange numbers!" What do you do?

me: I don't give her my number.

him: why?

me: Because there weren't any girls in honors bio who were both hot and cute, so she's obviously a poser. I was taught not to give my number to strangers, anyway.

him: Ok... suppose one of your friends who is hot and smart asks you out. What do you do?

me: Don't go out with her. Almost all high school relationships crash land, and the people never talk again. I see it happen all too much. I wouldn't want to trade a good friend for a short relationship. It's just not worth it.

him: allright.. Look, I know at your age, what with all the testosterone pumping through your body and such, you're still making decisions about your orientation...

It took me a second to figure out what he meant. I did NOT see that one coming.

me: I'M NOT GAY!!!!!!

him: It's your choice! I'm not getting in the way, do what you like.

me: (screaming) I'M NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

him: There's no need to get angry! It's perfectly acceptable!

me: (considering jumping out the window to prove my point) I'M NOT GAY DAMNIT!!!!!!!!

The timer beeps, and the session is over. A furious teenage boy walks out, and a confused counselor sits behind, scribbling notes on his book.

I will forever be emotionally scarred from that experience XD 22:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No it was not me who attacked the wiki last night you retard, and also, intimidating me with your P-Mod crown will do nothing because I don't give a damn what P-Mods or J-Mods say. Also you can't mute me for anything I say on here because if you do and I find out, I'll have your P-Mod status taken away. I have some pretty high up friends in Jagex. Lucky me for taking that vacation to Camridge =) Total Rune 21:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC) (IP)
 * You can't do that, noob. P-Mods only get demoted from breaking Jagex rules. Get out of here for good, and we won't seek you out and kill you. WHEE!

Re:AOTM
It still would not be equal as the nominators vote was not counted on prayer. If the nominatiors vote counts prayer still beats Lunar Spells by 1. And be happy you have animations on the prayer article too. ^.^ Whiplash 22:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yep, just wanted to point that out. I already knew that regardless of the scenario (besides Barrows), some of my animations would be seen anyways, lol.
 * BTW, didn't you mention changing to Support when the images do not clutter Lunar Spells anymore (it is now replaced with RNG)? [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]<font color="green" face="Verdana" size="1">Tarikochi 22:56, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Can you help me?
I know you sort of, but that's not the point.

I'm making an article on the ZMI Altar because I realized there wasn't one yet. I wanted to add a location table to show what it's near, but I don't know how.

Can you point me in the right direction, please?

.Gif question
What program do you use to convert .AVI to .Gif? 01:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC) Chiafriend12, this isn't Chikorita, but you can use Camtasia to do that. Just export the video as .GIF instead of a movie file.--Stewie9205 01:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
