User talk:Aburnett/Archive 1

Welcome
Heya Aburnett. Nice to see you around here again. I don't think the welcome notice message is necessary in this case because you've been around here for long enough. :P 19:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

You can replace me. 23:02, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
You now have the ability to use [ rollback ]. Please only use it for obvious vandalism; good faith edits deserve an edit reason. 23:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll use it wisely! -- 23:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You don't mind if I remove rollback from Aburnett001 right? 23:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

User:Aburnett001/GEMH Images
Can I remove the gallery in that page since most of the images have been updated? 04:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you think that it's the right thing to do, than of course! -- 01:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

RfA
Hey Aburnett, I don't know if you'll get a chance to see this message. But I'd like to apologise for my behaviour on your RfA (which was ages ago). Now rereading what I had said, I would most definitely crossout a couple of things I had said. Looking back, I can see that I was heavily influenced by the Stinkowing discussion at that point of time (Interesting how mindsets change over time ^^). Anyway, I'm sorry [for being a bit of a dick there, hope you can forgive me for that. Cheers. 13:11, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

CVU reports
If it's only their first offense (as long as it isn't uber serious) and you've already warned them you don't need to report to the CVU since nothing will happen..saves us all a bit of time. ^^ 17:00, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can understand that, but saying the f word a couple times isn't the biggest deal in the world. 17:05, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Welcome (questions)
I'm a bit new at the entire User Talk scene. Is there a way to correctly hide or dispatch with the automatic Welcome message without having to archive the entire talk page? (I mistakenly tried to edit it.)

Also, another question while I'm at it - I updated a couple Exchange prices and someone edited my update and told me I was supposed to use DD Month (eg: 24 October) instead of Month DD (October 21); However, the on-page instructions said to use 5 dashes, which I did! How do I change my date format to output correctly with 5 dashes?

Thanks, Crash Daemonicus 19:37, October 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your response. The format DD Month is correct for me, but I don't want to use it if it is going to conflict with other systems already in place or irritate other users. I assumed I was in the wrong from the above-mentioned user's actions.  Also, if it is important for the date to be in DD Month, shouldn't the GEMW Update instructions say that? Crash Daemonicus 20:19, October 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Er, I meant Month DD is correct for my area. Weird though, I set the format successfully in my preferences but that last comment still showed the old format. (Added after I saved my preferences.)   Thanks anyway, Crash Daemonicus 20:23, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Re: AmauriceBot
You're welcome to take a copy of the code and modify it. My only request would be that you keep the copyright and GPL header on my code that you use (basically saying that it's publicly available). This obviously does not apply to any additional code you add, which you can keep private if you wish.

If you try using the code (for any of the tasks), you should remove (or change) the updateWikiLog method in the Main class to not update User:AmauriceBot/Log, but instead update your own page, or just output to standard output. The reason my bot updates a wiki log page is so I have it run in the background and can check later (from any system) what happens. Next time I'm playing around with the code, I'll probably make the logging to a wiki page an optional feature (requested by arguments t the bot rather than "hard coded").

If you start writing your own bots, then you might find the WikiSession and Utils classes useful, and write your own main class to try things out. You won't need the GESession and GEChecker classes (unless you want to monitor item prices from the Runescape grand exchange web site itself). The SandboxCleaner class is used for cleaning selected parts of pages (currently below the header in the sandbox page and the combat level template call on the combat level calculator page), so you could use it for other page cleaning.

A simple program to start with would be one to just get the contents of a page. This can be done with the getText method on the WikiSession class. If you want to edit a page, then this can be done by calling editText. However, the edit text will only succeed if getText on the page has been called before it. This is a restriction of the MediaWiki API that protects against edit conflicts. The edit might still fail if someone else has changed the page between the call to getText and the call to editText. In AmauriceBot, I don't bother retrying the edit, but just log it and leave it for next time the Bot runs.

Sorry about the lack of comments in the code. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions or parts you don't understand. However, I've recently started a new job, so I only come onto the wiki once every 2 or 3 days at the moment so it might take a few days before I reply sometimes. 13:37, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * For testing, there are a couple of approaches I've used:
 * Temporarily modify the editText method to just print out the page title and the replacement text instead of calling the doCmd. If you comment out the call to doCmd in the editTest then it can safely run without makings changes to the wiki.
 * Temporarily change the code to work on pages under your user space (such as your own sandbox) rather than a main article page to check it's behaviour.
 * Hope that helps. 21:07, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Transparency tag
Don't bother adding it to jpeg images, they can't be made transparent. -- 11:20, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Your shield suggestions in Yew grove discussion: Crowns and AEAE
Hi! I originally voted for Karlis's shields, but I recently noticed how much nicer yours actually are! :)

Since there hasn't been much progress on the discussion, I was wondering if you could make me a userbox with your rollback shield. I'm asking you since I don't have access to the shields and I have NOOOOO idea how to make a userbox. :( I understand if u can't or simply won't do this.

Thanks in advance!

B.T.W can you sign my guestbook?

If you're gonna take the picture I found and took of that head at the g/e, at least credit me for it you scumbag.

RE: animations
just videoing em and then importing into photoshop. i tweak around with the gif settings until i get something thats pretty good quality and a nice file size. Thanks for the compliment :D -- 06:07, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * will do :P -- 06:16, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Your Shields :)
06:38, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making me a userbox.Your shields look better than the crowns. Is there anyway to possibly upload them into the image database, or is that violating the rules?

One user mentioned having all the designs available as userboxes, so you have some variety. I think this would be a good plan, as it would end the tedious conversation in the yew grove.

Give me some feedback!

Storm

06:38, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your help! I wouldn't want to encourage rulebreaking. Then I'd REALLY be in trouble, lol.

You just bet me :( 06:47, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

File:StrangePower.gif
Hai ! I just wanted to ask a simple question, seeing as I don't have the tools for GIFs. Could you upload a new version including the second part of the strange power to the current image? I know in the video he says "Wtf?!!?!" and so on, but oh well, it's an abbreviation, and I'm pretty sure 95% of players use "wtf" anyway. I mean, why show the first half, but not the second half ? 21:47, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah ._. sorry, totally forgot about that. Well, gl if you do attempt it Thanks again.  23:37, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * That looks great ! Thanks! 00:03, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
