RE:East Ardougne
It's ok. 17:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

New Signature
Yay, My new signature! It's got a Kandarin twist to it.  J  amesadams  7''' talk 05:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Herbalore
If you need an idea for herbalore, kill the chaos druids in Taverly dungeon. Also, save all herbs you collect enen if you cant id them for later. Atlandy 15:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

God wars dungeon
I know it is in a future update, but I dont think we are creating pages for future things. Atlandy 14:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Help!
I'm too dignified to give up. ;) 19:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice work
Nice work on those edits. Ever need any help let me know. I love to help people for the good of the wiki :D, 06:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

City Images
No, they're not squished up. 190/200px is just the right size, it keeps it from getting to small or too big. 15:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Cities
Sounds good, maybe we start with falador then? i've already done a transportation article.-- 12:10, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we use this as the template, and delete the stuff that isnt in certain cities

* 1 Introduction * 2 Entrances * 3 Transportation * 4 Banks * 5 Points of Interest * 6 Stores * 7 NPCs * 8 Quests * 9 Inns * 10 Park (Falador only) * 11 Surroundings * 12 Wordplay (if needed) * 13 Events (only certain places) * 14 Miscellaneous * 15 Music

look ok? -- 12:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick question, which city are you working on?-- 12:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Kandarin is good, i've just done Rellekka-- 12:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at Falador and Lumbridge-- 12:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Monobook and Wiki Clan
There was a discussion back in the June or something about changing the monobook settings, and we decided that it was fair that if someone wanted the RuneScape-Like monobook settings, they could set it themselves on their personal monobook instead of set it for EVERYONE else. Also, the wiki clan no longer exists. 20:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Your pictures
I noticed you're uploading new maps, but these are quite low graphical quality IMO... Could you use the PNG format, which is lossless, instead of JPG ? 07:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the pictures that were used before you uploaded your versions were in PNG and took only around 200 KB, so I suppose you can achieve the same size, since the versions you upload are a bit smaller (because you remove anything that doesn't belong to the city/region). If your concerns are about the "over 150KB" warning, well, the older versions were "too big" too. 11:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm... yes ? ;) (unless they are like 1MB each, but I don't think it's the case ;)) 13:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah... this is quite unexpected... 2MB in PNG for such a small picture... well, then I suppose you should stick with jpg but chose a little bit higher quality. 05:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Userally-Kandarin
You're making your life complicated ;) See how I edited your template by using the Userbox template, I think you'll find it much easier. 08:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Main income
I was reading your user page and noticed your message about having no steady income. When I first got my farming to 32, I made money farming ranarr seeds.

Using super compost and magic secateurs (which are gained during the A Fairy Tale Part I quest (you do not have to finish the quest), each herb seed gives an average of 6 herbs per seed (about 10-15% die, but those that survive yeald 5-14 herbs).

The ranarr seeds are currently 'gp each on the exchange, and the grimy ranarr sell for 'gp each on the exchange. This gives an average profit of around 0gp per herb patch. Even taking out cost of runes for teleporting to patches, this is still good profit.

Even if you were to only check all 4 herb patches once a day (pick herbs and planting next seed), you could have a steady income of about 70-80k a day. Note that the profit is average and will vary from day to day depending on seed deaths and yields.

Without the magic secateurs (but still using super compost), the average herb yield is 5.5 per patch, which would give still a profit of around 0gp per herb patch.

Thought I'd just share, just in case you were looking for a steady income. 11:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You can probably do the fairy tale quest, the problem is more likely to be needing to do the Lost City quest that is a required to start the fairy tale one. They will probably be easier when you get to 43 prayer so you can use protect from melee. 21:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think 43 prayer is really needed for Lost City, since the spirit tree can be easily maged from a safe spot. Just bring decent food for the zombies.  21:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Bot
I am not experienced in making bots, but I believe it requires some level of programming. Pointy has an active bot, perhaps he will be able to help you more than I can.

Once you get your bot operating successfully, we can have a community discussion about it. If it gains a general consensus, a staff member will be able to give it bot status. Dtm142 00:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The first thing you need to decide is what programming language you're going to use - if you don't have much experience with writing software you might find a bot a bit difficult as a starting project as it can be very fiddly to get exactly right.


 * If you're already comfortable with a particualr programming language a good starting resource is Creating a bot. Let me know if you want more information. Pointy 12:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Transparency
Actually, I'm just clicking "Random page" and finding non-transparent images. I'd love to see a bot mark images as transparent automatically, but I didn't know how to do it, so I just resorted to doing it myself. My simple little bots only do a few tasks right now, like categorize jpegs based on their extention, and categorize images for PointyBot. Although I am working on one to revert the combat calculator on the combat level page back to default values, nothing too complex. Good luck with yours. 07:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, with creating a bot, I recommend going from the framework, Wikipedia's Creating a bot article has a few. I actually use Basic Bot for my bots. I tried to create my first bots from scratch, and it didn't work out very well. Also, use the API rather than trying to get data out of the html code, it's much quicker, and easier. Also, when testing the bot, only run it on one or two edits, shut it down, and then validate those edits. I made the mistake of running nearly 50 edits when I first loaded Nq2hBot2, and all those edits were wrong, and I had to rebuild the bot to remove those edits, and continue its task. I know a little bit of Java, if you're going with that route, and a good amount of PHP, so I could probably help with bots in those areas, and I know Skill has a java based IRC bot, he could probably help you out too. Pointy and wowbagger also have bots, so you could also ask them if you have questions I cant' answer. 07:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry, didn't think about that. I'm not adding any more for tonight, but if you leave the template, and just upload the transparent images, I can just rollback my edits for you, as I've got the one click rollback button enabled. 07:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Bots
From what I can tell, you're trying to run PHP from the command line. Basicbot is designed to run from a webserver interface, through a browser. This means you would have to install a web server on your computer as well, then put the files in the server directory, and access them using this link: http://localhost/filename.php.

If you're not comfortable setting up a web server, I can offer you a little hosting solution, as I have a 300mb bot hosting account specifically set up. I'll give you 100mb, far more than enough (Nq2hBots 1-4 only use up about 0.5mb) That way, the files wouldn't need to be on your machine or anything, and you can access it from any computer. 03:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

If you're going to be the only ony using your bot, you can set up a home server quite easily using XAMPP. Or you can install Apache and PHP manually, I made a tutorial for this a while ago. 08:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

...Why would I have to add in my input when I'm the one who started the vote/discussion of which you speak? -.- Christine TalkFlickr 23:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Transparent images
Something should be done about it eventually. 03:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Shop image policy
It looks fine. Maybe some headings could be added in or something to give it some structure, but other than that it's great. Would do it myself but I only have a few minutes on the computer right now. Skill 15:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The main problem I can see is that relative location would have to remain its own template, as not all locations use the city infobox. Skill 04:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Stronghold of Security Floors
I want to ask how to add transparency to images that are not transparent yet, and also, if the Pages "Vault of War", "Catacomb of Famine" and the other floors of the Stronghold of Security are deleted, because they once had individual pages for each floor of the Stronghold. --Kakashi hatake34 05:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Needed?
There was some discussion Quests talk page about using a table. I did notice the changes being done, but think I'll wait to see what it looks like when completed.

It will be a bit squished on small screens, but it might still be more readable than the current page. The only variation would be to use images for the QP and skills rather than words (see the talk page).

I was going to let the editor finish (to avoid edit conflicts) and then maybe try out with images to see if any better. 10:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Shop image proposal
I think it's a good proposal. What you need to do is start a discussion on the talk page for people to add their supports/opposes/comments, then after a period of time, depending on the voting and comments, it could be made into a policy. 10:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Rollback Rights
Your edit history looks good. May you now clear vandalism with a single click. H YENASTE 17:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Templates Page
Ive forgotten what the main template page is titled as, the on that has miscellaneous templates and others.Like the one where it says which god you follow in runescape. Also if have any discontinued items. Noob Protector etc. The examples are in my user page, which i have updated. For example: you have the templates in your user page, the boxes that are coloured, say 'this user owns a snowglobe'. oh, and about transparency, i have photoshop and i et the hang of it. --Kakashi hatake34 09:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
When moving pages (such as with Hunt for Surok), please use the "Move" button at the top. Don't just paste the contents to the new page, as the page history and any options set on the old title won't go to the new title. If you can't move the page to the new title because it already exists, ask an admin to delete the title you wish to move to, or place   on the page you want. I've also reverted your move/redirect, as "Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok" is the correct name, as mentioned on the main runescape site. -- 16:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

New Messages
I stumble across new ,messages whenever i come to anyuan753's User Page, hes been fooling people to see who he fools apparently. Well, i stumbled across it about 5 times and people have been reporting it on his talk page.--Kakashi hatake34 13:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Monaco (or whatever your header was, which I forgot XD)
Thanks, I hope people see it in the Yew Grove. I've just taken a screenshot of a normal page and I'm about to post it, if you want to look at it. Christine TalkFlickr 00:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

your user page typo
I just figured you might want to know I think you have a typo. "trying to remove all transparent images and replace them with transparent ones" I figure one of these words transparent is meant to be non transparent or something--Degenret01 06:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sea
I've move the Sea to Southern Sea. The Northern Sea and Lunar Sea articles look like they need some work, and maybe even need merging. I'm not sure I understand the real difference between the Northen Sea and the Lunar Sea. 10:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
