wut?
I didnt get what you meant here. 09:53, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, now it makes sense. 09:58, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Meh, you were the hardest working one there, nub. 10:00, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Colouring users
Thx, but Psycho Robot explained to me. 16:19, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

You're spamming my talk page with thát...? 16:31, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dunno, possibly. There are some very cool familiar images out there; Compost Mound and Desert Wyrm for example. This image is great, but the Titan itself it not the prettiest creature in the world. That's this one.  16:54, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great guide. Problem is that it's designed for GIMP, but I've got another programme, which is no problem, only I've paid like €90,- for it. >_< But I think it has a lasso tool, so I can try something. 19:15, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Confused
Were you responding to my post on Robot's talk page? 18:12, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Improving images
You do very good work in Project Myface, but i see you keep improving my, and other myfacers' images, while they're quite good. Examples: File:Cabbage Detail.png, File:Meerkat.png, File:Luminescent Icefiend.png, you're going to improve File:Rune Essence Mine.png. Those images were quite good already, but you still improve them. Could you please improve the images that are bad quality or not very good quality, instead of good quality images?

I know i also improve images previously made by Myfacers, but if you look at the image history you will see that either the angle is bad or the transparency is not very good/not done. GE clerk: bad angle. Ess mine: half cut off at bottom, no trans. Fire: no trans inside fire. Range:no texture, and i didn't directly improve your image. I didn't see those were the same first. Goblin: pointy hat was cut off, he had eyes closed and was in animation. Furnace: removed background. And i'm going to improve File:Oasis.png because i'm going to nominate it for replacing File:Al Kharid Desert.png(going to make oasis.png bigger). 14:10, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Even though it is not personal, could you please check the images on the wiki before taking a shot of it? that will save you time to make worse pics better, instead of making good pics better. BTW, how do you add transparency to AA'ed pics? 14:22, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that thing beside the oval selection? and do i have to select antialiasing or feather edges? 14:50, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this a good image? I just took the first thing i saw, and that was the animated background 16:46, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's quite nice, and clear 18:11, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you like File:Cactus-spines-HD.png? 20:22, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Transparency guide
No problem at all, fine gentleman. Mark ( talk ) 15:20, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Per the consensus at, could you upload the new version of the image? Thanks. 08:01, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Images from GE
Why? They're not game guide images, and they shouldn't be tagged as such. The only tag they should have is Category:Item Inventory images, which I'm working on adding.
 * The images still aren't from the game guide, even if some of them are slightly different than the way they are rendered in-game (which, I might add, includes minor colour changes from client to client in an attempt to prevent botting).
 * Do one or two pixels really make a difference? For those items where the image does happen to be different, the difference is so small that you need to zoom in to see it. I really don't think it's worth going through and tagging all of the images because they "[aren't] the correct inv icon" over a few pixels' difference, but if you want to, go ahead.

Yay! By the way, get that infobox back on your page! >:( =P Also, I've seen that platypus. He's called Perry and is currently in a cartoon, fighting crime, especially from a German scientist. m0n3y p74wk5! 15:25, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Spider image
When an image which is not anti-aliased is scaled down on an article, the normally jagged edges are anti-aliased (this is why anti-aliasing, truth be told, is so unimportant for screenshots). In normal anti-aliased images, when the image is saved, a matte colour is set. This is the colour that appears under partially transparent pixels. That colour can be set to transparent, which is what you normally see, however by default it is set for white. Because when the image is scaled down, the edges are anti-aliased, a matte colour must be applied, however since there were no partially transparent pixels when the image was saved, the matte colour may be undefined in the image itself (sometimes image editors define it anyways). This is where the browser takes over and sets a matte colour, which is white. I'd be interested to see if every one of my aliased images from that time has this issue for you, I don't believe they would currently because I switched image editors. Take a look at Mourner, do those images have the same white outline? I uploaded those images just a few hours after the spider queen image. 02:22, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

"Re:Edit summary" and "link to talk"
Ok, ill do that. But could you please include a link to your talk page in your sig? that will make it easier to reach it. I suggest LordDark |Phantom. Thats what quite alot ppl have (i have it too, joeytje→userpage, 50→talkpage). Thanks 15:42, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Thanks
You're welcome! 10:41, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Thanks
Yeah, sure. Haha...I'll keep that in mind. 15:17, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

(added link; *talk page stalker*)
Lmao, and thanks dude. So you just need to add a colon. 18:28, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Lol, I beat you to it since I was looking at recent changes. 18:30, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Personal images
Thank you for clarifying the rule. I was aware of it but wasn't sure exactly what it entailed -- I now see this includes images of runescape characters.

That said, I have a question for you. My first preference and intention was actually to use my photobucket account for the images on my page; I really didn't want to have to store them on the Wiki as it seemed inappropriate to me to use the server's space, also. However, when I attempt to link the image to the template I have, no image shows up. Instead, it reads FILE:(then the URL of the photobucket image.) I'm aware that there might be more complicated ways around this, but I'd rather not destroy my ability to use templates in the rich text mode as I'm yet inexperienced at the "Wiki language" format. How can I get the template to allow me to use off-site content?

If you can check my user page in just a moment, you'll be able to see an example of the issue I am talking about.

Chrishankhah

Thank you, I'll switch to that template. What about the gallery one that I used? That seems to be the big one. It's a nice one included in the Wiki's own text editor, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to allow for personal URLs? I don't have a problem making minor edits in the source, I just don't want those edits to prevent me from ever using the WYSIWYG editor permanently afterwards!

Re: Reverting
Because you keep recoloring images and all images show should have their true ingame color, unless you brighten something adding fake colors is baaaad. ScionCrush 21:37, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

re:image ownership
Answering later. My mother is calling me. Srry!(saying this so u shouldn't expect an answer too quickly) 15:50, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * And i'm back... Yes, i took more than 1h on that image, as it really has some tough edges, harder than normal images, and taking the pic was also harder than any normal npc, as i went into the waiting room, but weren't chosen, so i hadda wait 20 min, and then another 10 min for the pic, as he walks around alot and it is impossible to trap him, and none of these methods worked. About those credits:
 * Its just the thing, why are there credits at the end of a movie? because those people want to be more famous, and they want recognition . That's also what i make images for. As i don't get paid for it, i like to be paid by credits. that's the least the wiki could do, and it is entirely free.
 * "this sentence strongly suggest you are doing this for yourself" I am indeed also, i repeat also do it for myself.
 * "what's wrong with showing the quality, and not it is made by you" Because i'm not proudly saying: "this is a nice image, isn't it?" -"did you make it?" -"no, actually not...." -"why you're showing it to me then?" -"bcus it is a nice pic" -"well, tell that LordDarkPhantom guy who made it that it is a nice image." I mean to say, i'm not proud of what i didnt make myself, as that is actually some sort of "stealing"
 * "asking other people not to upload your image is a slight step too far" ok, but at least they could have said something like "credits to Joeytje50" like they did for you at File:Stub.png.
 * PS: congratulations on almost 8888 edits 16:58, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know its all straight lines, but i did the same spots(the yellowish places) bout 4 times, and the result is what the current uploaded version is. It is not hard making the trans, but surprisingly, the artefacts remain longer than at normal images. I also don't know why that is. Maybe because of the light "armour" and the black background. PS: Grats on the actual 8888th edit. 22:31, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

spider&TOG image
I saw you reverted the spider image again, and i wanted to talk about it. I took the shot again of the spider, and i didn't edit it in any other way than adding transparency, so i didn't tilt it. Also it is ugly bout the current version that the leg that is closest to the camera is just one line. You also did a bit too much trans, and his 2 back legs are cutted off half way, and his left legs all look like they used to be inflated, but all air escaped. What do you think that's better about your image than mine? As if it is only the angle, i think it should be reverted, as the angle might be better, but also costs much more than it yields. i'd rather have a slightly worse angle than have 5 of the legs looking bad(1 is just 1 line, 2 are deflated, 2 are cut off half way) 07:40, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * And while i'm talking anyway, please turn on lighting detail and check the TOG cave again. The glow on the ground is still there. Most likely you have a slower/lower quality graphics thing in your computer, and as i have a better one, i see it and you don't(that is the only explanation i could think of) 07:44, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that i discuss those things, but as i really think my image is better, i want that one to be the current one. I totally agree with the images you have improved, but this image is really worse than my image. 08:46, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE:vote
No problem, your image work is really impressive- you deserve it. 08:32, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Image category
Thanks. 22:06, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

RE:chrome
Wow, thanks a lot. Yes, the main problem is not the browser itself but my internet connection: it basically disappears every few minutes. Might have something to do with the fact that it's wireless... I'm getting myself wired internet soon anyway, so I'll see soon enough whether the problem really is the wirelessness of my network. Again, thanks a lot for your help  08:41, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

A no, Its not Vandalism, and it does exist.

Transguide
I once made a "keeping NPCs still" guide, and i thought, lets put it on a subpage, and i added a link to your trans guide, so could you please add a link to my guide? that will solve all problems for people not knowing how to trap NPCs. 14:37, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
