User talk:TheLastWordSword

Personal Image
Hello. An image or video that you have uploaded appears to be personal. Personal files should not be hosted on the RuneScape Wiki (see RS:NOT). If you want to add a picture or video of your RuneScape character, or any other media that doesn't fit in an article, you may upload it on an image hosting site, such as Photobucket or ImageShack. You can then insert it into your userpage simply by copying and pasting the URL where you want to insert it. Also, if you do not wish to use one of the afformentioned sites, you may also upload them on the Photo Share Wiki. Since it is also a wiki, any images it has will also work on this wiki if used correctly. If you have uploaded a picture of your avatar, you can instead directly link to your avatar picture by pasting http://avatar-rs.runescape.com/your character name/full.gif for full avatar and http://avatar-rs.runescape.com/your character name/chat.gif for chathead. If you need more details feel free to ask any question you have on. 22:31, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I hate to tell you, but that's not just a set of personal images, that's a CONTRIBUTION, OF WHICH I AM RIGHTLY PROUD. I will upload them again, and you will keep your unwashed newb hands off of them until you have read the talk page for the Orb of Oculus!65.37.105.102

Ok, that -was- rude, but...
I ended up uploading only two images for the discussion page on the Orb of Oculus. Other users with dodgy, unmemorable names keep editing my user page, without discussion or notice. I would like that to stop please.

On a lighter note, I've noticed that there is no Userbox template for total number of questpoints, and would like to know if I should create one myself, or if someone else would prefer their own version. Thanks!

Images preferred in .png
Note to myself on capturing images in .png format.

Recapturing the images isn't that hard, but may take awhile in-game. Can I convert the files I alredy have in MSPaint (yes, I think...) and will the image quality suffer (dunno...hope not, saves me a lot of Fishing work!) (unfortunately, answer is obviously yes, and more work)

In Summary:

1) Capture original images in .PNG

2) Crop and process images BEFORE uploading them to RSWikia

3) Mark files for Speedy Deletion (hopefully as few as possible from now)

Uploaded the PNG
I succeeded in uploading the png files, but just barely. It was a real pain, and I had to spam-click it into submission, not the best methodology, I know, but it worked. 8-) Would someone else like the hellacious job of deleting the old files? "Take my old files...PL0X!" No such luck, huh? Ok, it'll happen eventually, but I'll have to stomp on buggienesses to get it done. Thanks.

Check out the images of the Shilo underground mine "Karamja Hard #" (#s 1-8) for the images (in .png!!!) for discussion, debate, etc. Where does that discussion take place, for the files themselves or the destination pages??? 0_o

Your "hidden area" images
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the image you uploaded is not a hidden place. It's in the same area where you fight the Jungle Demon in Monkey Madness. As such, I have deleted them. If you wish to keep the image on your userpage for any reason, please upload it with either www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com, not here, since we are not an image-hosting site. Thanks. 16:15, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tons of places are like that, but we don't have images of them taken with the orb because they already exist (and thus they are unnecessary, since we already have images of them). The picture of the Jungle Demon area is already on the Monkey Madness article, with the wooden platform and the gorilla statue. The one you uploaded was essentially a duplicate of that image but with things missing from it. That's why it was deleted, along with the fact that it was not used in the mainspace and also the fact that you used it on your userpage. Images for your userpage should not be uploaded here, but on either of the two sites I mentioned above.
 * I'm not sure what you mean by the "value" of these images for players who have completed the quest. If you intend to keep these images for yourself so you can remember the quest, then simply upload it on Photobucket or Imageshack, and there you go.
 * In addition, if you want to mention the fact that you can see the Jungle Demon place from Ape Atoll Dungeon, you could make a trivia section in the article and add it there. I'm not trying to cause you strife or anything; it's how the wiki works. 16:33, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling you haven't read what I've said. Feel free to keep the images you took for personal use, but just upload them on www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com instead of on the wiki. Surely you still have them saved in your computer? If you intend to use the images somewhere in the mainspace, I'll undelete them for you since mainspace images can be uploaded here. The reason I deleted them in the first place was because they were unused in the mainspace but were on your userpage (thus making it a personal image). 17:30, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Clarification of the above: Everyone else got to upload their images of "hidden places", even as I was being denied the same level of participation, because I PHYSICALLY & "COMPUTAIONALLY" COULD NOT put my images on Photobucket at the time, and it wasn't until MONTHS LATER that I found Portable Apps and a Mozilla Firefox browser that runs off a stick. I wanted to be in the middle of this process while it was still ongoing. There is no glory in running up and down the field after the game is OVER. That was the whole purpose of my Catch-22 rubber-hose beat-down described above. If that is NOT the case, why wouldn't a REASONABLE person make an exception for an urgent and otherwise unavoidable exception to a red-tape pendantist's rule, especially in light of RS:AEAE? Taken together with Psycho's BLATANT violation of RS:AEAE, this is starting to look like a "hidden" pattern, no? *****

RE: I'm almost ready to give up...
I am too, actually. It seems like you haven't read any of my paragraphs above. Here is the key point you seem to have ignored: Also, no one is stopping you from uploading images on the wiki. Just make sure you're going to put it on the mainspace somewhere, or it will be deleted. This goes for all images. If it's not on an article, then someone will delete it. In addition, make sure that it isn't a duplicate, or someone will most likely delete it too.
 * You can still upload images for your userpage if you want to. If you want to upload that Jungle Demon place again, do so on www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com, not here, since are not an image-hosting site. Just make an account on either site, upload the image, and copy and paste the Direct link on your userpage.

Just trying to help. 19:53, February 6, 2010 (UTC) . Hope this isn't too confusing. -- 21:03, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * When linking to images on other wikis, you need to keep going until you're past the page with the file history/file links on it. For example, if you want to link to File:Banana crate.PNG, you need to click on the image again until you get this link:

Re: Your Userpage Code
Nothing on the wiki is owned by anyone, that goes with mainspace, files, templates, etc. Do you mean that you couldn't get Template:Goal to work?? Sorry, but I really can't be of any help since I don't really know much about templates and such. User:Azliq7 is probably the biggest brain on templates and coding and such and you should ask her if you still need help. 23:48, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Upload under Original
Re-upload your Music interface picture under the original on the playlist page. This is to prevent the loss of previous versions of that file that others have uploaded. This is for posterity and for consideration. Before uploading an image, check to see if there is an older version of said image. 17:36, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cropping
Sometimes it happens, nothing you can do but re-upload it. =) 19:54, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Split Notice
You might be interested in the templates page which has just about every template that you will need to use. Also, why is your child hunting me. I must have missed something  06:59, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, how did I forget about that. lol In case you are wondering I am not specifically targeting you, it automatically changes what it uses to the user who is currently viewing it. I might see if I can make it randomise what phrase it says!  04:58, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Brimhaven Dungeon
Technically, if you're referring to a single player, you should use "he/she" rather than "they." What you're talking about is a "he-she." 00:50, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * A slash usually indicates "or." Anyway, seems like you're a fellow grammar fiend... you may want to offer your opinion on this Yew Grove thread. 01:00, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Summoning Familiars
Hey man, great works on the HD closeup images of summoning familiars! They're great =D Mr Moo Cow99 23:44, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, on your picture Obsidian Golem, someone said it was taken from game guide? Please have a look at that before I make it trans... Mr Moo Cow99 23:48, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems like this is fixed =P Mr Moo Cow99 00:29, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's me again =P I wasn't on wiki for a while, but now I'm back! About preping shots for transparency. To make it easier, you can take the shots at a place with a non-changing background. Like for example, in the desert or in a POH. Personally, anything's ok with me when it comes for shots that I need to make transparent. Mr Moo Cow99 03:42, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Ket-Zek
I've added the original filename back to the Ket-Zek article, which shows your version of the Ket-Zek (although Damnads applied transparency to it. He actually did it as I was placing the image ). So, now everything should be fine. It wasn't a bother, if you need anything else just ask ! 22:06, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Userpage
Threatening an admin of blanking their userpage is never a good thing.. Especially if they were just doing normal things. 19:54, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Exceptions point 2  23:14, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I felt that it was overkill to create a sub page for something which fits perfectly on the main page. I kind of go into more detail at RuneScape:Requests for undeletion/Hidden locations. 01:43, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Odd
What's so odd about February 19? -- 22:21, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Staff of light.
I reverted the image simply for the fact that the 'orb' for the loan really wasn't needed and we already had an image with all the requirements on the page. I didn't feel that the loaned item symbol added to the image in anyway. If you have any concerns, please by all means revert it back or contact and administrator. -- 22:00, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

hidden faces
That's a great imagination, but that's all it is. Like looking at clouds, or people seeing Obamas face in the smoke cloud of the burning twin towers.--Degenret01 08:23, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Tytan H., a staffer at Jagex, is known by some for his vague allusions to certain unsavory ideologies. This in fact, is one of the reasons Mero left, as he had inadvertantly exposed a very young player to an analysis of a coded message found in Dorgesh-kaan. I think I would have left too. Who needs that kind of crap, much less having to be a leader under those conditions? *****

If inserting a picture into an article, please make sure to size and place it correctly. If you need help, please let me know ‎Atlandy 16:07, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Picture that take up 1/4 of an article should probably be re-sized. It was re-sized and moved. Please stop re-inserting the large size. ‎[[Image:Keg_of_beer.png|20px‎]]Atlandy[[Image:Beer.png|25px]] 16:19, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Interesting that you took our talk to the article to point it out to everyone. My point is that I am not against your image. I also agree that we need a picture of the event. For you to just insert a large picture in the beginning of the article haphazardly looks poor. If you would like to continue this discussion, please do so on my talk page. I will be happy to correct the picture to look more streamlined in the article. Thanks ‎[[Image:Keg_of_beer.png|20px‎]]Atlandy[[Image:Beer.png|25px]] 16:48, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Event Illustration Atlandy, you have no event pic whatsoever. You need to let those who can, do, because you can't'. --Sw0rd1801 16:32, March 29, 2010 (UTC) If you want to be the Alpha Dog, you better **** bigger turds, purse-poodles. I produce. You don't. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheLastWordSword (talk • contribs) on 16:38, March 29, 2010 (UTC).
 * In Atlandy's defense (not defence, this is my talkpage) the image was huuuuuuggggee. However, as it showed the entire room, you had to have a certain size to see what the heck was in the room, instead of a smaller pic with a bunch of one-pixel objects. Yes, you *can* click to enlarge, and yes, sometimes big images make a page slower to load. But the traffic to this site has fallen off a cliff due to a dangerous lack of 1337, and the resulting HORRENDOUSLY HHHHHUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE, OBNOXIOUS, LOUD!!!!!!!, AND SILLY "VIAGRA FOR SIX-YEAR-OLDS" ads make the pages load *infinitely* slower than any large pic, and send people away running and screaming. You can see how a positive-feedback loop results from this, right? I originally objected on aesthetic grounds, but my inarticulate artistic impulses were basically spot-on; epic pics and content create traffic and more importantly, CONTRIBUTORS (as opposed to plagiarizing some other fansite). Such contributors, when they bother to show up here, (and "vandalize" the Hunter Gear pages with *ENTIRELY ACCURATE DATA* ((**GASP!!!**)) ) are thinking something like what I say here:

Which is, indeed, not my prettiest moment, but all too true. Of other contributors of even more EPIC material, it would be even MORE true. If we actually had any of those. Which we mostly don't.

And don't even get me started on the conversations that "conveniently" disappear from discussion pages...*****

Re:Gif Ent pouch
No, the way you say it is the only way to do it. On the few occasions I have done that I open each page I will need to change in a new tab to be sure I don't miss any. And don't worry about "Don't edit user pages", this is one of the exceptions. Or if you are worried about it, let them fix it when they see the red link/no picture on their page.--Degenret01 00:30, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Highscores Box
Hi, if you're using the Hiscore autoupdate template, you just need to change the player name in the template. I found one at User:TheLastWordSword that looks like this currently:

Once the player name is fixed the data should start updating again. -- 15:25, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Quality images
I saw your screenshots page, and your images are pretty good! Maybe you'd want to join Project Myface, as you'll have your own subpage then, and more visitors. You do have to keep the page a bit refreshed, as you have some images(File:Juna1.png, File:New spider.PNG and File:Tz kih.PNG for example) I hope to see ya. 03:11, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Admins Amok
Thank you for your comment. The D.A.Project isn't the end of projects focused on admins, their behavior, and their interaction with the community. However, I do hope for it to be a stepping stone, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, as they say.-- 04:57, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Ice Titan
ORLY? Did you think it was good? I had a fair bit of trouble at the semi-transparent part lol. I'm happy you liked it though :). 21:09, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sure go for it. It don't matter none to me. I've never even read that page actually. 19:56, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

All dialogue pages and sections were deleted because it violated UK copyright laws. The discussion is here, if you're curious. 19:57, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

But I have to admit, I do kind of miss them, especially the ones for Familiars. Gave me something to look forward to when I finally got the levels. {SHRUG}*****

Re:Request
Sadly, I am no scripting wizard, or even in the least knowledgeable about them at all. Sorry. But perhaps the AutoWikiBrowser could be of use depending on what you are looking to do exactly. Even for that I know only its' name, not how to use it. If you go that route be aware that if you choose to edit at over 5 edits per minute, it needs to be on a separate account. Check here RuneScape:AutoWikiBrowser/Requests for details. I know that User:The_last_username_left does some scripting/coding stuff of various sorts, he may be able assist you better. Good luck.--Degenret01 22:19, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

What is it with you and not transparent ;/ -- 13:29, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Spirit Coraxatrice
Hi, when an image doesn't update like that, its not because of anything you did, and its not something that you can fix. Just wait and it'll fix itself after a while. The problem, in case you're curious, is with wikia's image servers. You can't fix it no matter what! So we must just wait... *waits* 19:05, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

So you know
When making subpages of any page, MAKE SURE THE CAPITALS ARE THE SAME. If you don't it makes a completely different page. 20:44, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Sandboxes
I'll just field the questions you asked Degen. No to both. Sandboxes can be completely empty if you'd like, and you can have as many as you want to. 13:59, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Transparent? I could elaborate more but that's really all there is to it. You can check the Recent Changes to see if any admins are online (since they will generally be able to answer any queries) or you can leave a note at RuneScape:User help. 14:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * This "transparency" was in reference to PsychoRobot's rather unhelpful information that I was not allowed to create my own private sandbox. (As per above, the blatant violation of RS:AEAE. Sinister, or just Psycho?) I was too new to know any better, and as for Psycho's reason for telling me so, his name seems to solve the mystery adequately. After all, it's not like editors are competing with each other, and therefore, there is no need for a "competitive advantage", right???*****

Re:Wikibugs
Nope, all's well over here. Are you using Monobook or the (shudder) new Wikia skin? 21:01, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Turns out it was more than likely Jagex's Highscores page. This is why they constantly warn you about your antivirus. They have only three Mel-class programmers over there, on a steady diet of meth. Everyone else uses Runescript. That's what I'm willing to wager "muh hat" on anyway. *****

RE:Oh! You're here, instead of playing? What a surprise!
Hey, the version you uploaded might be slightly bigger, but the lack on anti-aliasing and transparency makes it slightly less appealing. 15:13, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Er, so what're you suggesting? 23:43, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you think that you have images superior to those that we currently have, then by all means go ahead and upload them. 22:26, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

(Set your user preferences to "ads on" for a week. How often do you run and then flinch at coming back?)

A Wiki is supposed to be open to anyone, and having rules that help form a Community from a bunch of individual "anyones" is the Business Model of each Wiki, and the Wikia system as a whole.

RE:Help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, we've been going through lately and tagging all non-AA images to be replaced. So even if we did keep yours, it'd just be replaced sometime in the near future. I'm not saying my version of the image is great, but it does have AA so it's nice and smooth. I take it you can't run AA on a shared computer? Even so, your image is half a pixel bigger than the former, has no transparency and no AA so... It has a lot going against it. An ideal uploaded image would be taken with an Orb of Oculus, have all graphic settings at the max except for Lighting Details, fullscreen with the object as big as can be, and have transparency. That would certainly make "everyone" happy. ( 23:36, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Btw, since you seem to insist on reuploading your image over and over, we have to talk it out to determine which should stay for now. Otherwise it's just revert warring. 23:38, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Elite Membership has its privileges.
Morning (: Yeah I saw you discussing it a few days ago. *Looks at picture more closely* It looks like a mold for a gigantic ring or.. collar. Nice find on the hinges and handle. I wonder what's inside.. Also I wonder what strange creature will be wearing a collar. <.< 16:20, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Cramulet isn't shaped like that. ): It has a rectangular pendant, though I suppose that could go in the hole. Bob or Neite could make since, since they're involved with the dragonkin. Not sure about a catspeak amulet. 16:31, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Screenshots
I just visited this page, and you seem to complain about how your images are constantly replaced, and I'm assuming that you know the reason, but I'll say it anyways - a majority of your images do not contain 4x Anti-aliasing, which is not applied to most of your images, such as this particular one. If you wish to improve your images, I suggest you apply 4x AA to your images as it makes the image smoother. Best wishes, Spine :) 14:53, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
