Talk:Graphical updates

This page is becoming chaotic. Maybe we should divide it into subpages (Graphical improvements/NPCs, Graphical improvements/items, et cetera) or something else? 11:33, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Chaotic? The article is still under a major revamp, after all. At the moment, there isn't a large number of images, so I think we should leave it as it is, for now. We'll see later on. 11:35, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I meant later on. If all of the graphical improvements are put on this page... I daren't even think of that  11:36, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Still images
If anyone's not too busy, could they take a still image of this gif and add transparency to the picture for use in the article? We should limit the use of animations as much as possible, as we're using still images for comparison of old and new versions. Also, the black dragon gif in the article needs to be replaced too. Thanks. 11:55, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Delivary. 06:04, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. 06:21, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Guideline
Oh and just a guideline for addition of images:
 * 1) Adjust the image size to fit its counterpart
 * 2) Limit the use of animations as much as possible
 * 3) Images that go under "NPCs#Characters" must be full body images
 * 4) Images that go under items, must be of the item itself and not an image of a player wielding the particular item (assuming that the item is equipment). Otherwise, this doesn't apply.
 * 5) Remember to add the to the old version with the reason being: "Graphics for this NPC/Monster/Area/Item has been updated" (this is generalised, not a strict rule)
 * 6) Ensure that the historical image is no longer in its respective article

New section
I think there should be a section for things like rocks (which had a nice update) and trees and stuff. Maybe call it 'Interactive scenery' or 'Miscellaneous' or something? 06:14, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Seeing as the "Areas" header didn't have much to show, I've changed it to "Areas/Scenery", so the things you've mentioned can go there. Rocks though...don't they look mostly the same anyhow ? 07:23, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit conflict. Caleb said what I was about to say.  07:24, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh... You do remember the old, pointy rocks, which were all one colour, and you do know that rocks now show ores in them as 'lines' (indicating that there is a difference between the ore and the rock)? 14:26, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, those rocks. I thought you meant the regular grey rocks, not the ore rocks. 14:27, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Well
This give the memory's of the old times and for new players a look at the past and who though of this is a genius *hums thnks fr th mmorys* 21:42, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Animations
I added the dragon longsword special to the items page, I am not sure if it worked though. Both the images have gone weird, and I am not sure if they have a place on the page. Also, should the two other images on the abby whip page of it being wielded and the special attack be added?? I felt it is better ask the community rather then be bold since I am not sure myself. 00:41, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which ones are you talking about? 02:11, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Caleb removed it. It was this edit 02:53, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought this page was for stuff like that...  03:11, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Same 03:24, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't think that we should have animations as if we included too many of them, the page would be extremely laggy, not to mention the fact that the images of items themselves are more than sufficient. Just my opinion, of course. 06:25, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * We could make a sub-page for animations, it just seems disingenuous to the intent of the project not to include them in some way 14:21, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am with psycho on this one. I feel that the page will end up being split anyway, so we might as well make those soon-to-be subpages as comphrensive as possible. 02:58, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Full NPCs
There is already a section for Chatheads, but should there be a section for full length NPC images?? Such as this and this?? 05:14, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you mean every NPC should be in a section? 05:22, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * No wait, I understand what you mean, and I say yes, make a new section for NPCs. 05:42, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * We already have those, the "Characters" section? 06:25, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't believe that I didn't see that section  06:59, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
