User talk:Jek Nexus

Welcome!
Told ya Hello.

Wellhaydere
Well that's good that you catch on fast :)

Give me a bit and I'll throw together a small, starting guide Shouldn't take too long, 10-15 minutes maybe. 04:25, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

We'll start with something simple.

Links.

An external link can be made by using one square bracket on each side of a url, like so:  This would show up as http://www.youtube.com/user/jeknexus You can also create an external by simply pasting a url, http://www.youtube.com/user/jeknexus The advantage to using the square brackets method is that you can add a space after the url, then change what the text says by typing something, like so: Click here for epicness This would show up as Click here for epicness

An internal link can be created by using double square brackets. An internal link links to any article on the RSW, not only Mainspace pages (articles about the game, such as Bucket, which has no prefix.), but also Talk pages, Template pages, Forum pages, and more which you should learn about later. Using Bucket would show up as Bucket. To show you that you can link to other "spaces" by simply placing the space's name, then a colon Using would take the file (we call images "files" here), and put it in place of the words: You can also change the name of internal links by adding a pipe symbol (|) after the name. For example, Amgz0rz Bukkitz rooool would show up as Amgz0rz Bukkitz rooool.

That's pretty basic I'd also like to add that you can use bold text by encasing your text in three 's. Ex: Bukkit = Bukkit You can do the same thing with italics, but with two 's. Bukkit = Bukkit Using five 's would give you bold and italicized text. Bukkit = Bukkit

Test those out (on my talk if you want), and then we'll move on to a few more important things  04:37, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

While I wait for you to test, I thought I should let you know that we have a policy of not uploading personal images, such as your. That does not mean that you however cannot use personal images in your userpage or a talk page You can do this by uploading the image to photobucket/imageshack, then copy/pasting the direct link to where you want the image. For example, this famous picture of a fluffy bunny, http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu128/Jediadam4/FluffyBunnytrans-1.png. 04:44, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind, Karlis deleted it and fixed up your userpage so you didn't have a broken link there. And I feel like I'm posting too many messages Ehh.. I'll just wait till you message back now >_< If you'd let me, I could make you a nice fancy signature like mine. Maybe with... fluffy bunnies. Just maybe.  05:21, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * MWaHhawhwhhahh1!! !!@11spam!@!@ BEG >:D!!! *ahem* anyway, what would you like your signature to have ? By this, I mean, background color, text color, border color, border shape (straight, dotted, curved), what images you might want and where to place them, what you want the text to say. By the way, I'll be using MY signature as a rough draft because I don't know how to make a sig from scratch  It'll still be eP0che though :P! And I see you fixed up your userpage a bit :P Nice job so far.  20:35, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * You're catching on fast, that's good though :) I'd suggest reading the style guide to learn a bit more about basic editing, it might help you with your userpage.


 * As for your signature, you've confused me a bit Do you want the whole curved box to be all blood red? Blood red background, blood red border, and even blood red text? I'd suggest maybe black or white text if you're gonna do that. Just be a bit more specific  Also, you and other people can only only see the curved border in Firefox. Anyone not using Firefox will see it at a rectangle. This is because the curved border is a Firefox feature.  20:53, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds good, off to do it right now :) And, just so you know, when you want to reply to one of my messages, just edit the old heading you used before :P There's no use in going all the way back up to "Ohai" now, just keep posting messages under "Wut." Now, if I come to you in a week with a new conversation or something, that's when you would make a new heading :P Just so you know. 21:13, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

'''Your new signature!! Jek Nexus T C   E  Infernoadze.png

Here's the code: Jek Nexus T C   E  Infernoadze.png

Now that your signature is made, you can now use it to sign your posts. To do this, you can either copy and paste the above code into each post you make, or you can go the much easier way, by using ~ or the signature button. The latter of the two requires a small setup:

('''NOTE: I wrote the following little mini-guide a day or two ago, to help out another user, NK-Metal. I'll use it again here so I don't have to type the same exact thing >_< Here ya go.)

Alright, this may be a little confusing, but I'll try and make it clear. I've just made signing your posts much easier, by creating your own Signature page, at Template:Signatures/Jek Nexus. Here, you can edit your signature however you like. The convenient part about this, is after setting your preferences correctly, you can just click the Signature button to sign your posts, or you can type ~. This is much more convenient, as you can sign with the click of a button, and you don't have to copy/paste your signature's code all the time.

To set up your preferences so you can sign this way, you must:

1. Go to your preferences page. 2. Under the User profile heading, you should see a box with "Signature:" next to it. Copy and paste the following code inside this box:

Signatures/Jek Nexus

3. After you've done that, there should be a checkbox that says Custom signature. Make sure this box is checked. 4. Scroll down and click "Save".

You're done! You can now sign your posts with ~, or click the signature button.

(My mini-guide ends )

Just another note, if you ever learn HTML or how to edit signatures, you can edit it at Template:Signatures/Jek Nexus. This is where your code is kept.

Currently thinking of other stuff you might need to know. Reply back soon and tell me if you want something in your sig changed, don't be afraid to be harsh either :P  21:47, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * ! Really? Which one are you putting into the box, the really long one:

Jek Nexus T C   E  Infernoadze.png

or the shorter one:

Signatures/Jek Nexus

Then save. And if you're talking about something totally different than I am, tell me :P 16:42, September 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Like it? Just ask if you want me to change somethin' around. 18:06, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Forum thread
This would probably interest you. Robert Horning, the most recent poster as of this message, is practically our coding wizard. Pay attention to what he has to say especially. 00:30, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not a baby! Babies are people who cry for nearly no reason. See? I'm just fine.
 * Oh, look, my cat is sleeping. That hurts my feelings somehow! Wah.
 * Also, remember to use your signature when sending a message or making a non-forum post. It helps. :P 01:11, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just saw your video and was about to contact you when I noticed a couple people already did. :o It's always nice to see people that appreciate all the hard work everyone does on this wiki. If you need any other admin help or any general advice hit my up on my talk page.. ^^  02:35, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * The admins are a lie!!!O.O-- 00:19, September 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * On to actual business, though, I've moved the page Robert mentioned in the thread here.-- 00:33, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Duradel vs Sumona
Seeing as you're a 99 slayer, I was wondering if you could read this page (the part about Duradel vs Sumona) and tell me your opinions on my analysis. I've noticed that a lot of people say "lol Durdel iz bettur", but can't really explain why except for the vague "it's better XP" excuse. Maybe you could prove me wrong... 00:07, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I probably would have to agree with you now, but Sumona would probably be better before level 85 slayer, because you can't make much real money before that unless you get stuff like warped tortoises and cave horrors. I've known about how warped terrorbirds and scabarites are underrated but never tried them. Chiming over and over would probably be too much for me, and using Duradel with your methods (Piety on some tasks and praying while cannoning on most cannon tasks) would probably LOSE me money if I don't get abyssal demons.

Also, this might be of interest to you. It shows a log of slayer tasks I've gotten from Sumona from level 73-82 slayer. Cave crawlers (I'm telling you right now - they are amazing xp), aberrant spectres (the only cannonable task I don't cannon so I can hold a profit), and banshees (decent cannon xp but they aren't too concentrated in one spot) have been dominating my assignments recently. I went through them all, and Sumona gives 8 (9 if you would do warped tortoises but they would die so quickly with just 2 spawns) cannon tasks, and Duradel gives 6. Wouldn't that mean she is better XP? Of course I WILL admit - waterfiends are a MAJOR reason to use Duradel. But I'm also concerned about losing out on XP in the skill I'm trying to get 99 in right now - attack. Using a SS on waterfiends would get me strength xp, and ranging black demons...probably wouldn't hurt seeing as I'm only 77 ranged, actually.

As for the equipment - I know, it's totally worth having (except maybe the tassets...seriously, d legs with 2 strength? Really? And bandos chestplate becomes obsolete if you have a high enough defence level) IF you can afford it. I happen to have 30m at the moment. With my current setup, what should I buy first? I'm guessing a DFS.

Also, feel free to add me in game (Cashman286) if you would like to have a conversation about this (or anything else for that matter) - it would seem you're very knowledgeable about slayer, which I'll be doing probably for the next year or so, so it would be nice if I could learn from someone. I understand if your list is full, though. 15:18, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Okay - so I can profit by using piety still? Would it then not be worth buying tassets and just using prayer equipment such as proselyte body + Verac's skirt instead? Also, what tasks are worth blocking? I'm guessing steel dragons, aquanites (I refuse to do tasks of these - I've tried using Karils and still take 30-40 damage per task), warped terrorbirds (I just don't think I'll be able to handle them), and maybe wyverns. Would it be worth it to switch to Duradel NOW with just a 30m budget (and still have money leftover for cannonballs and potions), 90 attack, 90 strength, 85 defence, 77 ranged, 70 prayer, and 73 summoning? 18:37, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hey hey hey!
Good to see you as part of the Wiki now, and that we could help you out a tad. :)

00:16, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Video-Making page.
Saw that you asked someone for help with fixing yer video page. I think I got it the way you wanted it. Dunno what caused the problem, but, if you ever need an older version of the page to be the current version, go through the history, click on the old version you want, click edit, and click save. (make sure you've got the right version, though.) 17:50, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the Wiki!
I see that you have had a little bit of a "baptism by fire" coming here. Still, I'd like to say a general welcome to our community and I hope that your little project can be incorporated into the larger structure of this wiki. How and where it might fit in can be debated, but I would like you to know that I am giving it some thought. It really is a neat idea, and we always like some fresh blood coming in here with something very much off the wall and new to the community.

This table of yours certainly does that.

There are some things we could do to try and fix up the table including adding links to the actual channel pages and possibly even having a "best of" or "most viewed" video from each channel playable within the page.

Anyway, I'm certainly willing to answer any questions you may have, or you can also ask for guidance and technical support on the Yew Grove or on the forums as well.

Again, welcome to our little wiki and I hope you find a home of a sorts here. --Robert Horning 18:40, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Merchanting clans
Hi, I just wanted to say that I loved your merch clan video. It helped me understand how they work. Thanks. 19:29, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Jay!
Im suprised of the growth of the rs wiki these days. All of the sudden everyone i know has an account thought about a year ago i was the only few of my friends who knew about the wiki. I'm a fan of your videos, so just thought i'd stop by ^_^

well, welcome to the wiki i guess XD

~Talk~ A_Cadaver ~Contributions~  Edits~

Check out my userpage sometime :D :D :D


 * i know my kind of fans are annoying. not those "omg omg i envy you add me add me" kind but im one of those creepy kinds. deal wif it XD*

Re: PM
...I think...I just got owned, lmfao. I started using Duradel today btw. 01:01, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Quick Lesson on Wikiscript
in the interview, we spoke of a short lesson on wikiscript. Here are some of the commands that are used.

Bold text: Bold Text

Italic text: Italic Text

For Bold and Italic: Italic And Bold

to strike it out: use these symbols

To underline : underline

Now, this one is long and stupid for such a small change. you can pick any color you want.

For an indentation, write a ":" at the start of a line.
 * like this.

for a box of code like the one below: type this, a space before you write the rest of the line.

for a numbered list, start with a "#"
 * A
 * B
 * C

for a bullited list, start each line with a "*"
 * A
 * B
 * C

00:13, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * if you make a comment that requires people know who you are (as in forum or talk edits), you need to end them with " ~ ." This will show you your signature. if you need help with that... Don't ask me. I hope this was helpfull. leave a comment on my talk if you need more help. thanks again for the interview.

Just a question
Hey, I notice you edit the Slayer training page quite a bit, and that it is also needs a lot of work still. I wanted to get someone's opinion on taking the section on strategies and making it into an entirely different page to make it more accessible. I just thought I should ask someone who edits that page a lot before I did anything drastic. 03:05, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough then . Ha thanks anyway!   22:02, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

?
I told you I was on my way out before hand, and I assumed that the people spamming you where randoms. I don't see what your, or think I am, upset about. This must be a missunderstanding, but I assure you, nothing is wrong. 17:41, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

New skillcape


Interesting, eh? 06:09, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Possibly.
 * MMG has admitted that they are working on a new skill, so my immediate thought would be that it's a prototype or alpha/beta for the skill's cape. 23:47, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * This cape was said by a mod to be a glitched crafting cape which appeared, for some reason, purple in the Work-In-Progress server where they do testing and, apparently, get their screenshots for the Game Guide. 23:41, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I could believe that...no biggie. :P 05:30, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

99 Cooking party
Because I think you'd be interested, link. 03:58, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

99 skill
I wish to get a F2P skill up to 99 and im poer. Im am a F2Per and I think u pwn.... Your the best person to ask i suppose. Which should I get to 99?

10:14, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Thanks
No problem at all. I've been going through all our skillcape images and replacing them, since a lot of them were stolen from tip.it. I have to replace images before I delete them, which is why I made the change. 05:25, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I got those images from the Game Guide when Jagex first relased skill capes. They had three animated GIFs that cycled through all the skillcapes and hoods. I saved that image for use in signatures and whatnot, and I still had it. They removed it from the website for some reason... not sure why. 05:31, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't steal it >_> its here legally under the British Copyright laws of Fair Dealing! 05:47, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * YOU RELAX! YOU'RE A JOKE! GRAAAAAAARRRGH!!! 19:44, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
