New featured article pic
Do u have the old one still? i liked it a lot more than the one we have now. Th old pic worked just fine.--Degenret01 08:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I did not remove/delete the old image, I just changed the url to the image I created. Do you not feel this image is more relevant?Tebuddy 20:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I do not feel the image you switched to is more relevant. Also, on your user page you say for people to credit your user page for any images they use that you uploaded. Thats not how this wiki works. Once you upload it, anyone anywhere can use it anytime. Check out this discussion RuneScape:Yew_grove/Archive3 for a little more info on that.--Degenret01 21:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Its not a demand, just a request for common courtesy as I am the one that went through the trouble of making the gif. It doesnt really matter to me what the image is, I am simply updating images with the new graphics and saw that one was low quality and didn't make much sense. Tebuddy 23:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't go over your head. That discussion I referred to is weeks old. There is no reason for you to get upset, I came here to talk instead of just changing it because I don't ever want to see a revert war. (This comment is in response to the comment he made then changed{not supposed to change stuff on your talk page, it confuses discussions]). Anyhow, I think a courtroom pic for an article being judged makes more sense than a pic of the GE entrance. And this is a very simple very calm talk, don't get heated up --Degenret01 23:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed my comments because I thought you had not yet seen it, and because I also do not feel as heated as I made myself sound. Tebuddy 23:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgot to add, the reason I thought it didn't make sense is because the image is of the inside of a player owned house. Not a courtroom. And its suppose to be featured, something we are proud of is why I thought an image of a player cheering would be more relevant. Tebuddy 23:26, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh, I did not see Taris change before your change. The pic before Taris was the court pic that seems to be relevant to me. Featuredcourt.png --Degenret01 23:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I have another problem now...
There's a giant black space around the animation. How do I get rid of this?
 * Make sure your settings math these: Colors: automatic Framerate: automatic Optimized pallet checked, use windows colors checked. Custom size should be filled in already, background color should be black, under filesize make sure both options are unchecked. Uncheck maintain aspect ratio. Tebuddy 07:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I did everything you said except the last thing, because I didn't know how to go to that, and the image still has te same problem. It looks like this: Image:Blue-ele-top-1.gif
 * The problem is that camtasia is trying to make the image bigger without resizing the actual animation, so it just ads a huge black background. Check on the settings again where you can set a custom size, make sure maintain aspect ratio is unchecked and be positive that use custom size is selected and is only the size of your recording. Ill look into it further and post back later today. Ill also look at the camtasia site/help files. Tebuddy 19:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't find the place where I uncheck the main aspect ratio! I looked where you told me to, but I didn't see it. I'm using Camtasia Studio 5.

Your sig
Just wondering, why don't you have a link to your userpage on your signature? Your's and Tarikochi's signatures are very similar, I've noticed. 20:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No reason in particular I guess I copied tarikochis format. Also because when you try to use the font and size format tags with User:Tebuddy it breaks the link.[[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 20:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like it would work. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy  12:29, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * :) > clicky. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 18:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, why don't you create a template for you signature? (or are you using the "Subst" function?) It's a lot easier than typing it or copying and pasting it. Anyways since you haven't gotten a real welcome yet... Welcome! 22:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I am still learning abotu various features of wiki, but all I did was copy/paste the code for my signature into the signature field in my preferences and turn on raw formatting. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 01:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Your Pics, less mbs please?
Well, I'm just asking for your pictures to take up less memory, while I was waiting for them to load I lost a FOG game with 2000 charges! Thanks for your time, and a tip: use a place where there's little ground texture for repititive images. :)

Tehnoobshow101 10:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As much as I dont mind to take the blame for your loss, Image:Fogcenter.gif is only 1.15 megabytes. A very common if not legitimate filesize for an animated image especially one with so much detail. If your computer cant manage to download that along with the rest of the images on the page with vary from 20kb to 1.15 with mine being the largest, and play Runescape at the same time I would suggest you invest in some better internet as it has nothing to do with memory. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 12:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh I'm sorry, you must've misunderstood me. I was seeing the article "energy" not the FOG article. It was the running and the walking pictures that made me lag a bit, so I was asking to make them shorter. Sorry for not saying it specifically, I'd bet I've wasted enough of your time. :(

Tehnoobshow101    05:15, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * How do you confuse FOG and running/walking? Anyway, unless your running on a 56k connection or an incredibly slow computer you would know not try to multitask. Those images are a completely reasonable filesize and on my internet connection which is residential dsl (300k up/700kb down) the page takes a maximum of 8 seconds to load. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 08:05, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe on your computer it's 8 seconds, but you could easily shorten the animations, like for example, you do it in a POH grassy area, then you'd only need about 500kbs for it. I'm running on a 100MBPS connection, I do not want to get into a debate with you, so please, try to understand my noobiness...

Tehnoobshow101 02:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Calm down, guys. I have found the root of the problem.
 * I am not trying to complain anything which I know is useless.


 * Tebuddy is making some nice animations with High Definition mode. But the common bad point of his animations is that he does not cut out some irrelevant frames.
 * Just take Image:Playercatchescrayfish.gif as an example, when I first saw that animation, surprised by the file size, and then tried to send it to a GIF processor, I found that the GIF has a lot of frames covering the same or similar actions, I will illustrate:

If it is a GIF displaying number 0-9, Tebuddy's GIFs would be a bit of : 0  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9 ................ To Tehnoobshow:
 * I do not know whether he hasnt got the right gif-editing software or his computer is too fast. Anyway, if you have found some animations that occupy unreasonably large space, just nominate at my user page and I will crop them out. =]

To Tebuddy:
 * GIFs are a series of pictures arranged to be played. The High Definition mode already raises the number of different coloured pixels (which is proportional to the image size) used in each frame (yes, frame only!). If your animations have too many frames, the file size would be very large even a normal number of frames is used.

03:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Alot of my earlier animations have jerky/unnecessary frames, but I learned how to fix it and have started making them much smoother. However the images you are talking about are simply larger because they are longer. I would appreciate you minding your own business and allowing me and noobshow to have a discussion instead of attempting to moderate it.

Animated Gifs
Hi, i've seen alot of your updated 'Tarikochi' pictures. Nice! Could you please explain how to make such a picture? Do you need a special program or something? Hypercam?

Gr Hapi007--Hapi007 11:05, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ooh, and another thing :). Wouldn't it be nicer to make all the emotes the same size? Just like Tarikochi did, all the emotes are the same size and in her house. Looking good!

Gr Hapi007--Hapi007 11:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I use camtasia, you can find it along with several help guides here http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp?CMP=KgoogleCStmhome [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 12:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm dutch, so my grammar may not be to good...

After you told this to me the first time, if HAVE been looking if it wasn't uploaded yet. Well now, I dont think I uploaded any more unnecessary images as a replacement? (Reindeer Hat, Run, Tuna Fishing). Whats this you come with it now?--. 15:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Animation
Hi, you're image is rather jerky could you edit that to be smoother? Thanks. 07:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * will do, that was one of my first gifs *tear*. At work all day today and tomorrow, will get to it asap. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 07:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In case you didnt notice, I fixed it up for you. -- 09:08, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

questions, questions,
firstly, yay!, ive been looking for the leggingas to wear with the bomber+ gnome set for ages!!! ty! Although i may use frog prince leggings instead, as they look almost the same.... second, im a noob to the wiki, and i was wondering what software you need to make animated gifs, and how you would do it. Zilenserz 20:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Camtasia Studio 5, http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp. The software comes with a built in guide for capturing and editng gif images. [[Image:Gnomegoggleswithcap.png|25px]]TEbuddy 21:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Yew Grove - Images and animations
I just want to clarify some things to you regarding the post you made on Yew Grove.
 * I wasn't talking about Tarikochi and you in particular, but another person who is being the "zombie" you mentioned.
 * In pages where there is significant number of animations (+10), the animations takes longer to load (than it is required.)
 * "Dialup users do not make up a majority of this wiki's internet traffic." I do not agree with this statement, unless there is statistical proof to justify this claim.
 * "Making pages more friendly to them is something we should do just as a courtesy, it should not be our priority." I disagree, the point of this wiki is to serve everybody, not just a select population with DSL connection. I have Broadband connection, but I don't ignore those with dial-up connection, because it's not in my nature.  Shouldn't everyone get treated with equality?

The post was NOT targeted at new users, but existing users who do not follow advice given to them. I'm sure you had personal experiences when your HD image was replaced with another HD one, for no reason? It is this type of behaviour that I wished to address in the post I made in the Yew Grove. I commend your contributions to this wiki, and I hope I have not offended you personally. 18:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand, and I don't feel bad or have ill feelings against anyone. I also agree that having excess animations on one page just makes it load slow and look crappy.

I don't have access to specific usage statistics of this wiki, however I do know as a fact that dialup lost majority market share over two years ago. Feel free to take a look at a couple of reports that shows the increasing amount of broadband users and the decreasing amount of dialup users. My point is, when working on a page we should always try to make the page as accessible to as wide an audience we can, but we should not cater to a minority. TEbuddy 21:54, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. 05:41, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
