Transparency
Dude you "added transparency" to three pictures I uploaded yesterday but I don't see any transparency?--  NuparuMahnika   09:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I know... I don't see the transparency either... I asked some people about it and they said I just had to be patient, and that it takes hours for it to update. I didn't really know what was going on so I just left it lol... Here's the discussion page where I asked: Talk Page --Psycho Robot 16:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Transparency
Heya, can you explain me how you make images transparent? They seem to blend in with the background very well. o.O I don't know how to make the outlines blend in like that. (also check out my poll about this on my userpage) -- 17:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Firstly you need Photoshop. You can technically do it in paint, but its really difficult and slow. If you don't have Photoshop, you can get a program that's a lot like Photoshop called GIMP. Its free and you can download it here. Most people just use the magic wand (which, if you don't know, selects all pixels that are the same color) to select the background and delete it, but that makes jagged edges which I think look bad. Instead I use the eraser to go around the edge. Unlike the wand, when the eraser deletes, it gradually fades from the colored pixels to the transparent pixels. It sounds like its a lot of work, but its actually not bad, because a feature in Photoshop is that you can hold shift and click a spot to erase, then click another spot and it erases a straight line between those two spots. It makes erasing around things like legs and arms really fast and easy. Then I manually erase around faces and other places with lots of details. Once I have a thin line of erased area around the subject, I make the eraser bigger and erase the rest. This does take a lot longer than some of the other methods, but I think it makes the images look so much nicer. Except when the image is really small. Then the faded edges make the picture look really fuzzy! --Psycho Robot 20:40, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * How do you add transparency with Paint? 06:36, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well you can't really add TRUE transparency, but at the very least you can erase the background. This will make the background white, which is the color that transparent parts turn when they are put on a page anyways. It also makes it very easy for anyone else to add transparency. Basically you just erase (the eraser is in the second row of the toolbar) along the edge carefully (you don't have much control) and once you get a line, go to a bigger eraser and go over it again. Erase the area around the subject then use the rectangular select tool to draw a box around the subject. Then select edit -> cut (or press ctrl-x). This will cut the rectangular box that you just made out of your drawing. Then go to file -> new. Don't save the image you're closing right now, you don't really need it anymore. Once your new image is open, go to edit -> paste or press ctrl-v. This will past your image with the white background. Now go to file -> save and change the file type to PNG, then save and upload. Done. --Psycho Robot 15:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Adding Transparency
--Psycho Robot 13:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC) I read your post above but I still have no idea how to add transparency. Could you explain to me clearly how to add transparency using Photoshop? Thanks. Respond on my talkpage.--  NuparuMahnika   13:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That was long! Thanks anyway.-- [[Image:Summoning.gif‎‎]] NuparuMahnika  [[Image:Shield2.PNG‎ ]] 06:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope I was able to help --Psycho Robot 13:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Submarine
I thought it was best to keep an image that includes a map, to have visual proof that it was spotted along the coastlines. :s 22:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think you need to try so hard to prove things. ;-) Besides, I don't think I've ever seen any other image that has a mini map in it. It kinda looks like it was cropped bad. In any case the primary reason I think the other image is better is because the periscope is larger. You have to admit that the periscope did appear pretty small in the other one. --Psycho Robot 16:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Evil Tree
I don't really understand how to use this stuff very well but about that Evil Tree edit I tried to make. I do understand I need evidence, so if I got a Mod to say 'yes it's true' in the forums, would I be able to upload the proof picture too? Also, how do you upload pictures...? 133-134-581-59060879 <-- That thread has my question on it in the RS Forums.
 * Yea any sort of proof would be good. We just have a really bad problem with rumors making their way onto the pages of relatively new features. That same thing has been added numerous times before, but no one has had any proof and no one has been able to confirm it. This is exactly the kind of rumor that peope love to make because its practically impossible to prove. Evil Tree clan chats practically ensure that every evil tree has at least 20 people on it, if not more. Anyways, to upload pictures you have to take a screenshot. If you're on a windows computer you need to press Shift + Prnt Scn. Then open up MS Paint and press ctrl+V or go to Edit -> Paste. Then save the picture and go here. Locate the picture on your computer and upload it along with a brief description. Also, when you post in talk pages, make sure you sign your comments using four tildes, like this: ~ . --Psycho Robot 18:57, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done it!! I have got proof of the lightning strike! I just got an Elder with 3 other people and it got hit at around 85% health and dropped to 50%. ALL OF IT RECORDED! I hope I signed it right this time... lol
 * Couchodyj95 23:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If the image uploaded isn't convincing enough, what would be? Sorry for the poor quality, it's the best my computer can do. High quality Runescape gives too much lag, too.
 * Thanks! I'm still not a pro... or even anywhere close to it... So I wasn't too sure on if it was up to a high enough standard. I tried anyway =D It only took over a 2 months of filming evil trees to get it!
 * Couchodyj95 00:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The image you got is certainly proof enough, granted the image could be better quality, but at least we have proof now! 00:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Signing without any hyphens
Mmm, it does look easy... but I always manually type it in anyway, lol. You get used to it once you've messed around with css in signatures and coding templates and whatnot. 15:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol. I turned the toolbar off for a bit, it made me lag. The four tildes only produce what's in the signature box in your prefs (depending on if custom signature is checked or not) so it should always work  17:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: People seem to have lost interest....
That happens. Best to just leave it - making a new thread would be considered forum shopping. Consensus is a slow process, unfortunately. Maybe a post would give it a jolt into life, I'll post my thoughts now. 14:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Riot images
Firstly, in the interests of me being a self-proclaimed annoying twerp, I will point out that one of them was deleted for the reason you gave. Secondly, they fall under the category of, as they're screenshots of actual riots and, in some cases, impossible to replicate. Thirdly and completely apropos of nothing, I don't believe you've voted on any of the polls on mah userpage. WWTDD? 18:12, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I guarantee you that more than half of the people who've already voted don't know any of them either. [[File:Zaros Statuette.png]] WWTDD? [[File:Zaros Statuette.png]] 18:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Lol. You sounded like Larry from that penguin quest. Haha 04:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Hours/days later...
I've had that too, as have a bunch of other users. Wikia's rather slow servers is the problem. And purging the images doesn't work either. Just an annoying thing to work with  10:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Indexing
Okay, but first of all, what program are you using to edit the images? 12:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I use GIMP, but I'll try. Does your program show what kind of colour format it is in? The three that I have are RGB, Grey scale, and Indexed. Try and find a place to change that. If you do, it might ask you how many colours you want there to be. The lower amount, the less the file size, but the quality might go down. Generally for inventory images, I use around 7-13 colours. Just be sure that when you do index, don't do it too far down. If you have any more questions, just ask. 17:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, have fun! Thanks for helping with the images. 21:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Experience formula in excel
Hello. I don't use Excel for calculations much, but I came up with this method. First, I made a worksheet called ExpTable containing the experience table found in Experience. I just used the $$ = \frac {L} {4} + 75 \times 2 ^ {L/7} $$ formula to create an "XP To Level" column and then the SUM function to create the "Total XP" column. Then on my main worksheet, to go from a given experience to the level, I put =COUNTIF(ExpTable!C2:C100,"<="&B1), where ExpTable!C2:C100 is the total experience values in the XP table and B1 has the total experience value. I uploaded the Excel file here if you want to see it. -- 12:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry
I fixed it, I think I updated my page, I will now if I haven't already. 22:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Abyssal whip.png
"(Reverted to version as of 17:57, 28 July 2009 I think my version with no equipment in the way is better...)" I only uploaded a transparent AA of mine was because for a day, it did not change to your new version for some odd reason, same issue occurred with "File:Runescape weapons specialattacks dragonscimitar-sever.gif", although it was fixed with a couple reverts today. Didn't mean to show that I thought more highly of my picture over yours, I forgot to put a comment with my upload to tell this. But you should take the same and not include that in the comment. I would like to point out that just because someone wears another item does not mean you need to say that it is better (but yours is a more clean transparency and all I wore was a QPC and the Abyssal whip). Thanks for reading. 03:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahum.
Hello there! I'm not nuts And uh, do you prefer a black line around a transparant image? Example: File:Silly Jester Outfit.gif. I'm not sure yet, I need opinions. . 11:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism
Sorry, I didn't intend to vandalize. I only kept removing the pictures because at the time it was showing the wrong picture. Later I looked in the picture box and it said that the picture may not have been changed due to server lag. My mistake, though I hardly intended to vandalize.
