Modding news[]

Making it appear on the main page would probably require copying The Vault's main page design and the appropriate templates to Vault-Tec Labs. And you need to add each news post to the News category. Ausir^(talk) 16:26, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Fallout 2 items[]

Thanks for adding the missing items. Some suggestions: if you don't fill out all necessary fields in the infobox (e.g. "value"), please include {{Infobox incomplete}} at the top of the page. And include the "proto =" field in the infoboxes, for the prototype IDs. Ausir^(talk) 14:21, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

BTW, you can find all the Fallout 2 item stats here: http://www.fanmadefallout.com/fo2-items/. Ausir^(talk) 14:42, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, you shouldn't really be putting the "extra" field in if there's nothing to put there. Nitty ^Tok. 16:21, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Noted. Cheers. - User:Dude101

Holodisks should be put in Category:Fallout 2 holodisks and notes, and should actually be merged with the holodisk Pip-Boy transcript pages (which sometimes have the same, and sometimes different names than the item name). Ausir^(talk) 22:12, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

And please put the images in Category:Fallout 2 miscellaneous item images. Sorry if this sounds like I'm complaining, you're doing some great work here, pal. :) Ausir^(talk) 22:16, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Will do, I just want to finish off these new pages first - User:Dude101

Edits[]

On the page Water chip, you added the extra paragraph: Apparently, many vaults are in short supply of water chips, or run low on them over time. In Fallout 3, the Lone Wanderer can opt to force the residents of Vault 101 to leave their sealed vault by destroying what is apparently their only remaining water chip, although this contradicts that everyone cans have the free purified water with the broken steel add-on. Honestly, I don't think this has anything to do with the item, and the option to sabotage Vault 101 in Fallout 3 is a little different because there are no mentions that the water chip there is malfunctioning or anything. I won't undo your edits, but for future reference, at least put this under a new heading, like Fallout 3 or something. Ghouly89 23:12, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

The FO3 part wasn't added by Dude101 but by XO"PIPBOY---2277"Ox. Ausir^(talk) 23:14, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry guys, I didn't realize that until I posted the comment, I guess I just read the edit history wrong. :) is he new to the wiki?

External links[]

They work fine for me. Ausir^(talk) 22:30, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

These work fine for me too. Ausir^(talk) 22:37, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

F1/F2 Restoration?[]

I hear you are currently the head/lead of a project involved with restoring some of the cut content from the coriginal Fallouts? I have really wanted to learn a thing or two about programming for games like that, or helping you guys out in any way that I can, so message me if you have more info! :) Ghouly89 07:33, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

OH, sorry about confusing you with someone else again! :P But I did check out Mutant Rising.com, and I guess i didn't get what the project you are working on is? Ghouly89 20:40, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, you're making Fallout: Mutants Rising. It sounds like a great game concept, but you guys are in need of extra people to help? I wonder if I can be of any use... Ghouly89 03:12, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Admin powers[]

I think you should apply for adminship in the forum. :) Ausir^(talk) 00:07, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

I thought I could get it automatically? okay, I'll start a thread Dude101 17:20, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

You don't need to fulfill the edit count and time requirements if you are an admin on a sister wiki (which doesn't matter much anyway, since you already fulfill these), but you do need to start a thread. But I doubt there will be much of a problem with that - I don't think you'll find much opposition. Ausir^(talk) 17:57, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

So, where's the thread? :) Ausir^(talk) 10:25, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Followers of the Apocalypse character pages[]

I have unlinked Scout on your created FotA pages, because it was refering to a perk. And if a character needs to have (character) behind it, like in Ganger (character), you don't need to capitalize the word character. Jspoel 22:06, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Cool. Noted Dude101 22:10, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

• Ghoul Manager should have been Ghoul manager... It's not a person's name, so manager can be decapped.
• Same for Ghoul refugee.

Okay. Sorry for the mess Dude101 23:14, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Thanatos[]

I was just looking at the Thanatos page you made, and I read the file it links to, and I was wondering if its possible Thanatos wasn't a cut character but that whoever wrote that was just speaking metaphorically and meant that person had died. Just an idea I had that I wanted to share. BILLYOCEAN 00:10, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe, maybe not. I'll leave it up to you as its your work, and I'm not very knowledgeable about FO 1/2. Just wanted to make the suggestion. Keep up the good work on the Vault dude! BILLYOCEAN 00:21, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'd agree with Billy's metaphorical interpretation here too. Ausir^(talk) 01:40, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Boyarsky[]

I restored the deleted page. The Boyarsky mentioned in FO1 is a separate character from the Boyarsky mentioned in FO2. Ausir^(talk) 15:19, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Adminship request[]

I read your adminship request and I'm still pondering what to vote. You say you want to improve, delete and merge Fallout 1 and 2 pages were necessary, but can you give me some examples? Till now I haven't seen you really do things you need admin powers for.

I'm sure you're skilled and knowledgable on FO1/2, but to be honest, I have a problem with that you've been given the possibility to make a request. I've taken a look at your profile/edits on the modding wiki and sometimes there are large gaps in edits. Sometimes a month, 2 months. I find those gaps rather large.

People here with such large gaps in their edits are denied adminship and you also haven not been a steady editor here for 3 months, what's another term for applying.

I worked very hard to earn my place here among the admins (a few 100 hours before I became one) and it seems like you're just handed it, just because you have the mod admin title on a sister wiki.

Please, motivate your request on the forum page. Jspoel 14:29, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

fanmadefallout.com[]

Ah, thanks - good to know :) Now we just need the critter tables. -- Porter21 _(talk) 11:40, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Seems like http://archive.org has a more complete backup of the critter pages. I think I should be able to retrieve the info in an automated manner - I'll get back to you later. -- Porter21 _(talk) 07:21, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

There you go - I've posted the complete dump at w:c:falloutmods:FO2 critter table. It has already been converted to wiki syntax, only the images are missing. -- Porter21 _(talk) 14:08, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Pit Boss[]

I coulda swore that Shark Club had a pit boss walking around. Used the newer tuxedo male sprite. Nitty ^Tok. 16:19, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Might just be killap's fault that I'm not sure on the guy's canonness or not. :P Nitty ^Tok. 16:23, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Neural interface[]

Where is this found in the game files, I am looking in both PRO ITEM.MSG (Fallout) and PRO ITEM.MSG (Fallout 2) and cannot see it. 17:21, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

My bad, seems it didn't want to show up first time around when I did a ctrl+f search. On a side not, while you are adding the page, could you also add pages for the capped version that redirects to the de-capped version, this will clear the red links in PRO ITEM pages. 17:28, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Nightkin thinkers[]

You should should probably make a faction page explaining that they were a cut organisation of intellectual nightkin. -- 20:51, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Children of the Cathedral guard (Adytum)[]

Hello my friend ;)

I see your message in Mikael page, it's done the page was renamed. Nice day and see soon! Itachou ^[~talk~] 16:43, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Creature stats[]

Do you happen to know much about Fallout 1 and 2 creature stats? We'd like to start a Fallout 1 and 2 creature page overhaul, but we'd need to know which of the critter stats are actually relevant (e.g. I'm pretty sure that radiation resistance is not). I have no idea, for example, about how damage dealt by creatures is actually calculated. Could you help out? Ausir^(talk) 11:26, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Cassidy Art[]

Thanks for letting me know. It was a screen dump crop job, so I didn't know.

Gun Runner[]

You can decap the word character when you create a page that needs it, like Gun Runner (character). Grtz, Jspoel 19:57, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Restoration project information[]

Hey hello my friend ;)

Dude101 of NMA right? I'm a friend of Aguirre, if you know. Nice job for Fallout cut content!

Well I thought, this Wiki is only based on official content so the Restoration Project information about characters and cities will be deleted one day, which I think would be a shame (not only if in the Vault-Tec Labs you have already the information). I thought you could transfer the data of The Vault to the Vault-Tec Labs, what dou you think? Itachou ^[~talk~] 21:45, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

For now not, but I think some times yes. Ho, I see you have already a nice page about it [1]. So I think there will be no problem if I remove them from pages or I transfer them in the Vault-Tec Labs (it should be done one day or another). But the fact that the restoration project restores them as cut content was remained in pages of course!

Well, good luck for Mutant Risings, nice evening Dude and see you soon Dude =)! - Keep up the good works for the Fallout moddings! Itachou ^[~talk~] 22:04, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

"whut"[]

Yes, but not forever, as far as I know. Maybe I'm just confused, but I could have sworn they were the same kid. Not a big deal, I guess. BILLYOCEAN 20:29, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Beat me to it.[]

You've beat me from reverting the GOAT edit from this guy. I know how to revert, but I lost the internet connection at a few moments <:( --M72 Gauzz 13:29, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Test[]

I removed the panda-image from your talkpage as well. Jspoel 22:30, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Mutant's rising[]

If you get a moment I have a question. Is the Mutant's Rising project still active? Thanks for the time.

Good, I was hoping it hadn't stopped. So what do you do as a writer? Do you need more?

I see :). Well that's the problem with finding out about things too late. What's the FMF tool? If its the mapper, I can't get it to work because it comes up with a [[User:GuardianOfTheWastes/sandbox|cannot load cities error]]. I wouldn't mind doing anything really because I've been ridiculouly bored of late. Could you link me to it if it isn't the mapper? Thanks again, .

Thanks a bunch! I'll see if that works and have a look for the FMF tool too. Do you mind if I occasionally ask you a few questions if I need help?

Thank you for finding that for me :). Do you think that I should sign up to the main page and ask what needs doing, or do you have a suggestion as for where to start? Thanks again for all your time.

I know that this will sound a tad poor, but if really don't know what needs writing. Could you give me a nudge in the right direction, or is there a list or something where I can start from?

Thank you for all your time. I've done that now: I really appreciate your help and the opportunity :). Thanks again, .

FO1 and 2 Character Project[]

Hello there. I see that you are currently on the Fallout 1 and 2 characters project page as a participant. However, you have not made any edits to the encompassed pages in some time. Please finish at least on page within one week, (so the 24th of August) or I will have to remove you. This is not personal, but the project needs to be finished so we need people to be actively participating. If there is a reason that you have been unable to do so, please contact me on my talk page within the month. Alternatively, if you do finish a page please note it in the appropriate place on the project page and then notify me on my talk page. Thank you and best wishes, .

EDIT: Apologies, I cannot ask you to do that, but please do not forget about the project. Any activity is better than none :). Have a nice day.

P.S. Ardent got back to me today (13:16, August 17, 2011 (UTC)), well I got his message today, so thanks :).

Super Mutant quote[]

Where did that quote on the super mutant soldier page come from? I'd appreciate it if you add who said it. Thanks! 08:53, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

i saw that post you made about the end game mod and was wondering how would you download that and install it on the game?
