Background music[]

Nice, I'll try to insert them into locations. However, shouldn't there be a description, like Beyond The Canyon - Arroyo's background music ? Energy X ∞ 16:30, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Saint Pain[]

Hey J, I was just wondering if there was anything that could be done about Saint Pain's chat ban? I personally think it is really unfair and that Saint is easily one of the most entertaining people on the wiki, and although he can be abrasive I feel it is all in good fun. I know it was put to a vote a while ago but I'd still like a revocation to be discussed again if possible. FollowersApocalypseLogo Apocalypse Now! 18:05, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Well I'm glad there is some support out there for it. I was just looking at the chat guidelines and I feel that they are a bit harsh when it comes to permanent bans. I understand he had several warnings against him in the past, although I think the validity of some can be questioned. What I am more interested in would be a revamp of the chat policy, so a repeat of this doesn't occur. Just throwing an idea out there, but maybe instead of 'permanent' bans we could have 'indefinite' bans, where the user is banned indefinitely until they are subjected to a community vote, within 3 or 4 month intervals. I just think the punishment for his actions are far too severe, and a year is far too long of a waiting period, as Saint is a good community contributor and it will only hinder us in the long run when FO4 is announced or released.

Music & stuff[]

I've tried the rotating content template and it does work with changing the music just like the quotes. It will change to a new playlist each day. So we could rotate all of the main themes from the games or something like that on the main portal if we wanted.

As for captioning the music, we'd have to do that either in wikitext, or better yet HTML. I'll see if I can get something to work in my main sandbox with the rotating player I'm testing there.

Also, as far as new background images go, I had an Idea. Yeah, it did hurt my head a little, but I would like your opinion on that most recent background image I uploaded. Vault themed, yet it still uses some of the old tiled background and background colors. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 01:46, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yup. Captioning works, even in the rotating content template. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 01:53, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Avatar change[]

The first one I've seen since I joined! Very nice =) --Skire (talk) 19:35, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

It was a good film indeed, definitely one to see. And what exactly do you mean regarding the NotY? I will be "coordinating" the overall process and writing the final edition for the news too, so I think it'd be best if I skip out on the opportunity of being nominated (not that I think I will be anyway). --Skire (talk) 19:44, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I don't really mind the slight disadvantage (I won't be nominating/seconding right now either). I'll be forming the board and writing the final so that'll be good enough for me I think. And I realise my chances are too slim to care about anyway =P Especially when we got all those superstar Nukapedians around here! --Skire (talk) 19:53, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Check User[]

Hey Jspoelstra/Archive 24. In honour of our 3 Bureaucrats achieving Check User rights I took the liberty to make a User box to showcase these new rights (hope you Don't mind). Anyways, here the new Userbox:

Hey J, do you remember the time when some articles had too much images in infoboxes? Well, seems to me that time has come again. Can you merge images on this article (again)? Energy X ∞ 21:04, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hey[]

Changed your profile picture I see? It'll take some getting used to, I've been so accustomed to Neo. Wall-E is quite fitting, he's a righteous dude.

Anywho, I've been out of the loop with school and what not, but with the year winding down, I'll be on here a lot more. Is there any specific task you'd like me to delve in to? I'll be happy to help. Thanks.--TwoBearsHigh-Fiving Intercom01 22:42, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Namespaces[]

Howdy. Agent c asked me about a project he's working on to augment the NUN. He and a few other editors are making some "How to guides" for new users. He wanted to know if the articles they make for it should be in the FalloutWiki namespace. I was thinking that if they're NUN related, they could just make them subpages of the Fallout Wiki:New User Network/ namespace. What do you think? I don't see any problem with them being in the "official" wiki namespace like that, do you? The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 15:59, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Category lingo[]

This has bugged me ever since I began editing; do you know what the vertical bar at the end of a category does (i.e. "[[Category:Fallout: New Vegas robots and computers| ]]". It doesn't seem to change anything. --Kastera (talk) 03:32, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

If you look at Luck on Doc Mitchell's Vigor Tester, one of the things it affects is enemy mishaps. I researched it, didn't see it here and wanted to add it, it's a very important aspect in combat. If you will allow, I'd like to create this page. I'm a big fan of Fallout, and I read the wiki often and would like to contribute.

My page[]

Thanks for moving it to my sandbox. My goal was to get it approved first, maybe if it could be placed someone where on an existing page. Possibly as a small note.

It's more to just show that Vietnam was mentioned, if only for a little bit in Fallout Tactics. A semi-canon game. I'll be happy to upload more Fallout Tactics images :D

--StylesV13 (talk) 19:18, December 6, 2012 (UTC)StylesV13

Anna Guarana[]

I can't say 100% that it isn't her name. But nowhere in the game is there any mention of her last name. Maybe there is some design document out there I haven't seen. You're right I shouldn't just go and change the page name. I should have left it as part of the talk page. Which I will do in the future when I have such concerns.

Hello J,

As you may or may not know, lately i have been rather inactive. Part of this inactivity was due to me moving from Canberra to Surfers Paradise. Lately, i have been losing interest. So from now i have completely stopped editing, for fairness for other users i would like for you to remove my Patroller rights. I have had a lot of fun here i and love (like as friends) you all. Everyone here made my experience fun and educational. I will recommend Nukapedia to all. Could you spread the word that i'm gone

Tactics Ending Slides[]

I have a bunch more and I will load them to on to the endings page.

--StylesV13 (talk) 18:46, December 8, 2012 (UTC)StylesV13

I added more images, but then it hit me.. Why don't I just load the video for each ending? Would it be ok for me to do that?

I can do the same for all the bunker slide shows.

Also the captions for the images aren't showing up when I load them to the page. I also screwed one captions up. The file is Barnaky 2 but I think I put the caption as "The warrior or Barnaky's Brain."

Achievements[]

Hi J,

Styles was wondering why we dont seem to have an achievement track for Fallout Tactics. I was wondering if there's any reason you know of why it couldnt be added?

Thanks. 21:44, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Tactics Track[]

Since there seems to be a need for character information edits for that would be good. Mission and location edits would be another. Weapons and creatures to be some more.

I would have alot of those by now if there was one :P And As for the bunker thing. After you complete all the missons at bunker you are told to move onto the next one. When you leave for the next bunker you are given more information in a video.

Hi J! The user rights requests thing is being done only by Agent c as far as I know. The page in my userspace is just for my own use in determining future applicants' worth in their sought-out positions. And yeah, my brother and I are both into music. He plays the violin and had a concert today. And as for the NoTY stuff I think having a winner and a runner-up is as far as I'd like to go. The winner will have all the stuff you mentioned, and the runner-up will have the knowledge of he/she being the runner-up of all the contestants! Maybe a silver bobblehead is ok, but I don't think a third is necessary. --Skire (talk) 22:54, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Haha, well you know, this is something kinda special and I think more exclusivity (fewer "winners") would make it better. --Skire (talk) 23:17, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
I can confirm Skire isn't involved in the stuff in my sandbox at all. its something I've been working on over a few months, but given that there is a user planning to run for mod who would be effected, its some time away from post. Its just a few minor tweaks to fill a few cracks/holes that have become apparent. No major structural changes - I think we're right there. Agent c (talk) 23:16, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Spawning a working Door to take me to Moira's shop in Megaton[]

Do you know how to spawn a working door in fallout 3? I mean do you know the right codes to use that would allow you to go from one place to another by the use of a door?

For example, I was able to place a tunnel in my modded fallout 3 gamesave but have no way of actually getting it to take you to a place because the codes are somehow tied into the door itself and beyond that, I don't have a clue.Hellrazordirty ([:Please support me by downloading my Ultimate Hardcore Fallout 3 Gamesave here]) 03:46, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Fallout Tactics characters[]

I noticed that the FOT characters don't have {{Interactions}} template. Should we make a one? Energy X Signature0 17:27, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Here, I made a bit of testing for interactions. The Recruit section is whether he/she can be recruited from the Bunker. Doctor is obvious - whether he/she can(not) heal you. Similar is for merchant. Missions involved section is actually from which mission the person can be encountered at. Similar is for location, but the location is more widespread (special encounters or bunkers). So, do you think it can be used? Energy X Signature0 18:09, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

I learned to not just remove things like that. We agree a source for something like that would be great. Maybe it is from a game file or something. I will try to look up the the maker of the page at some point.

Fallout Tactics characters' background[]

Do you think that since those characters' backgrounds are from game itself, should we just place the {{sic}} template at the end? Energy X Signature0 23:22, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

I understand that now, but still I'd like it best if it actually had proper grammar. The edits were minor too, the meaning is almost identical to the original too. It allows for more freedom in the writing, which I think it better for a wiki. --Skire (talk) 01:16, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
Right, and I get that, but in that case it shouldn't simply be a section in our article, but rather a quote or another area that uses exact in-game content/wording or even a quotation. For a wiki, I don't think it is appropriate having the in-game description (full of grammatical errors) in a section on an article and not allow it to be changed at all. --Skire (talk) 01:26, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

About the interactions box[]

Some characters, such as Mother (Fallout Tactics) appear both in Mardin, as a part of a mission and in Bunker Gamma, after saving her. The locations section would include that, with the note when the character moves to another location. In this case, it would be written that after completing the Mardin mission Mother would move to the Bunker Gamma. Energy X Signature0 18:09, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Actually i believe that i got everything right. Thing is, the slide we are talking about exists in game files as endscrn_jt06.dds while script for the fourth slide uses endscrn_ly01.dds (same as for the first slide). As for endscrn_jt06.dds, i suspect that it was meant to be used for Jackobstown (along with endscrn_jt01.dds and endscrn_jt03.dds) but i can't see that it's actually being used. My take: endscrn_jt06.dds is a cut content, just like this one. --Theodorico (talk) 21:11, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Background image forum closed[]

I have closed the the forum on submissions for a new background image. There were no qualifying submissions, and the forum had no activity for 2 weeks. I think this should be the end of any proposed changes to the site for a while. The survey I did clearly showed what people wanted to see in any change, but no one came up with a proposal that fit the criteria. Any suggestions for future changes needs to be done properly and vetted against what the community desires before anything is put up for a vote. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 21:19, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think that's a good idea. When some of the FO4 art assets start coming out, box art and whatnot, so we can see the dominant color scheme, maybe then we can look at updating to something different in line with the new game. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 21:41, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Fo3 Endings.[]

Hi! I'm done with sounds for Fo3 endings, but i've discovered that some slides are messed up really bad. We have: missing slides, out of order slides, slides from another segemnts, e.t.c. I suggest that i'll make complete overhaul, from the scratch. Sadly, this means that i'll remove some parts of your work. So, what do you think about this? --Theodorico (talk) 22:53, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, i think that you indeed have captured them all, or almost all. But searching them and trying to put in correct place, will require additional ton of hours. For example, in the end, i've found that slide File:FO3 FEV endslide 3.jpg. But for the sake of clarity, i'll remake all screenshots from the scratch, because i've found a way to make this automatically. This means that i'll get them in the correct order, without any possibility for mistakes. --Theodorico (talk) 00:37, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Sound icon.[]

Hi! I see you changed image for the sound trigger, it's OK by me, but it really shouldn't be more than 16px in height, otherwise it will distort line spacing. --Theodorico (talk) 20:08, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds and icons[]

Yeah, I decided I didn't like the colored one. Plus altering a copyrighted work probably goes too far. As for the sounds template I'm working on, I was just going to replicate what was already on the pages, but just make a template to use. Each sound would have it's own icon, just like they are now, and like you said, I ran into problems with the size of the .ogg player once it's expanded. I've made the template able to accept up to six sounds (I didn't find any pages with that many, but I figured 6 was more than enough for future use), but it will only display as many icons/sounds as you give it. If you want to see a different presentation, let me know. The actual template in use is at the very top of my sandbox1 (it's got the full 6 sounds to test to make sure I didn't screw up any coding). I really wanted to do something more like 3-4 sounds per line. I'll ask Theo about scripting the .ogg player site wide to a smaller width. Everywhere we use it I don't like how big it is. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 20:35, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

On another, but related note, how do you get the weapon sounds you've posted? Are you capturing them from in-game, or are you pulling them from the data files? And if you're pulling them from the data files, how is that done? The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 21:47, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

I looked into getting that program from it's main website but it tried downloading a bunch of other programs onto my computer. I don't care much for "free programs" because I ways get stuck with programs and tool bars I don't want and have a hell of a time trying to remove. My internet protection program was sending me some alarm bells when I looked. Just going to the sight, I got warnings about "trying to load program."

I will try to keep images uniform using an image you used. I have a friend that is good with computers, I will ask him to help with gettting a better image program. But that could take sometime. Would you like me to just stop till then? Cause I don't want be a trouble.

It is a seriously over complicated program. I can't even figure out how to save it as an image file like a npg or jpa. It only allows me to save in some screwed up thin I have never even heard of before. I feel like I need to have a PHD in computer programming to figure this thing out. Any help you can give would be great. Until then I think I will stick to paint.

NO DEAL unless you or have somelse answers my one small question[]

Listen Jspoelstra, I'm a fair and reasonable man and I respect your reasons for doing your job, but I can not do as you ask unless you help me with something.

My question:

I got all three pieces of evidence(inspecting the dead hooker,Clanden's rape tape,Troike's blackmail note) in the quest "How little we know", but whenever I show either/both piece(s) of evidence to Capt Marie Pappas, I don't get ANY NEW diagolue from her (I even went through the normal diagolues). My question is am I doing something wrong or is this a bug and how do I fix/get around this. NOTE: I am playing on XBOX 360 so don't give me PC mods/hacks or tell me to "modify" my console like some j-tagger.

P.S: I tried for weeks asking people on SEVERAL websites (this one included). I look through many tutorial videos and written ones and I can't get anything NEW info on this matter so don't redirect me to somewhere else or say this info is accurate when don't got any evidence to support this claim PLEASE.

Re: Tactics character images[]

Hi, Jspoel. Actually, the lines are applied to the image somehow by the game engine, because original .zar files doesn't have them. You can extract *.zar files from the game resources (.bos files are just renamed .zip archives) and use an utility called Zar2Gif. You can find it here on NMA. It's not very hard to use and can convert multiple files at once. veryblackraven 20:14, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Bidaux + PV13[]

Thanks... I kinda wish I could say I was drunk when I set up that IndieGoGo, but I was mad... Mad at the PV13 campaign... Still can't believe we have some pledges.

I kinda feel freaked out a bit though... Just as I've been working on the BvI Case article to bring it up to code, PV13 flares up again.

Anywho, the files should be linked properly now. I had some issues getting them to work (me probably be being unfamiliar with media files), so I linked em by the long file location, so thats probably why they came up as unused. I've linked em in the Thomas Bidaux page, as well as the current Bethesda Softworks LLC v. Interplay Entertainment Corporation page which I intend on replacing soon.

Hi J. I initially removed that logo image because I thought the quality was too low. So then I take a screenshot of the poster with the logo on it, resize and cut it, and come up with one that is ostensibly of higher quality.

Featured[]

I've checked a random sample, and I'm only seeing This portal page (and Gunny's TP) as linking to them. Am I missing something? Other links should be going to the actual article. Agent c (talk) 22:34, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Right, It looks like this works a lot differently than we thought it did... Gunny looked at the templates and thought only the first 12 were rotated through... Now with the word "Today" the number 31 suddenly makes sense... I'll undo it all now and figure out some other way to do this. Agent c (talk)
I was going throught them as a lot of the text in them was out of sync with the actual pages (which in turn were out of sync with reality...). Some of them link to pages that are little more than stubs (in one case, the featured article blurb was bigger than the page - it included some speculation that I guess at some point was removed from the article).
Might be worth checking the other featured article pages to make sure they match up with how the page is now. Agent c (talk) 22:52, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
Right, that should be the damage repaired, but with a few of the things I was concerned about fixed. Agent c (talk) 23:25, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
That featured article template has the count parameter set to only 12. It should only be calling for 12 articles, so I don't understand why it's redlinking anything over 12. Let me take a closer look at the main template. There's a chance the code is wrong for the count parameter. I should probably just rewrite it so that it autocounts how many articles there are and get rid of the count parameter. You should only need a full 31 articles when the type is not set to "monthly" and the count parameter is undefined. I'll get to the bottom of it. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 03:00, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
Was it redlinking to this page? It must have been. The template is only processing 12 articles properly. Today it's showing Chris Taylor, when number 24 featured article is Masthaed studios. All we needed to do was delete the excess links from that page. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 03:07, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Fallout Tactics Project[]

I don't know what got into me last night. Those tags just got to me in my sleep deprived state. It is a defunct project and I don't believe anyone even runs anymore. With the awards it will get more people interested in doing it. When I come across Tactics fans on the Bethesda forums I tell them they can help out. But I will leave the tags if you want, at least on pages that aren't close to being done. There is alot of inventory work I noticed.

I have saves from all the missions. But for Springfield. I have played it back in the day. I have the orginal Bonus disk but I think the mission only works if you register it. I also can't find the file to turn it from "false" to "true." I hear there is a patch that installs it. I will check out the High Res patch.

--StylesV13 (talk) 21:37, December 27, 2012 (UTC)StylesV13

I can't get the patch work because I downloaded Tactics off Steam and I don't know where the files are. The patch only works if you put it with the BoS.exe thing and I don't know where that is.

Would you like me to just stop? Cause it seems like you end up having to fix my posts anyways.--StylesV13 (talk) 02:29, December 28, 2012 (UTC)StylesV13

It's a no go. I can't find the file. If I install it from the CD then I might be able to do it. But then I would have to start all over again. Unless you know of a way to get the saves changed over. I don't like all the new windows because I can't find any of the damn file locations.

I just joined the Fallout wiki today. It's my favorite game series, and I've used these pages more times than I can count, so I thought I should finally contribute. I got the GOTY Fallout 3 and New Vegas: Ultimate on Black Friday (having already thoroughly beaten both games' standard editions when they were released). I made a few edits on the wiki and got badges/achievements I wasn't expecting. I am ranked #1000 apparently, although I think that might just be a way of saying, "You're far enough down the ladder to be considered irrelevant." When I clicked my rank it brought me to the leaderboard. You are #1 on that list, and this message is mostly to thank you for the astounding number of contributions you've made. I'm sure I've referred to an edit you've made to help me out at some point without even knowing it. I am truly impressed. --RAHMtheBOOYAKA (talk) 04:43, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Follower Interactions page proposal[]

I was discussing with Gunny earlier about how on New Vegas follower pages are listed various responses and remarks from various factions throughout the game. It came to my attention as well that some of these factions have in their notes section their responses to certain followers. After some discussion Gunny thought it would be a good idea to run a possible Follower Interactions page by you. A page where all the follower interactions would be listed or perhaps instead have all the interactions listed on their respective pages. Right now as it stands, it's unclear as to which article pages follower interaction stand on and even if it isn't, they remain incomplete.

Hey Jsp. Thanks for the kind words. I know my time and reputation here has had it's ups and downs, but you've always been an amazing editor and an amazing person. Just with the way life is for me at the moment, I need a break from a lot of things, the Wiki being one of them. I do love this community and I've always wanted the best for everyone here, but it's gotten to the point where I need the best for me.
I figured it was unfair to leave everyone so suddenly so I found the time to write up the poll and give some users closure, I suppose. Perhaps in the future when Fallout 4 is released I'll drop by, or maybe on special occasions I can write up a poll (sorry about missing your 100,000 edit by the way), but until then, I'll say my goodbyes.

Getting in contact with Devs of Fallout Tactics[]

Hello. I figure if anyone would know how to contact the devs from Interplay or Micro Forté that worked on Fallout Tactics it might be you. I am thinking of asking Chris Avellone if he can get me incontact with some of them. But before I bug him I'll ask you. I tried joining the Interplay forums today but I never got the confermation email and therefore I can't log in and the only help I get is "ask an administrator" yet you have to be logged in to contact them >.<.

Anyways, it bugs me that there are alot of Voice actors credited for Fallout Tactics, yet we only know a few characters we can put a human voice to. So I am hoping Interplay or Micro Forté might have some record of who voiced who for Fallout Tactics. So we can start filling in some of the blanks. The only thing I can think of besides that is to track down the email of the actors themselves and see if they remember who they voiced in Tactics lol. "Oh Hi can you remember about 11 years back the character you voiced one line for in Fallout Tactics?" :P

Bot work[]

The closest my bot can get to specific game pages is dumping an entire category into its script. There may be a few errors with that, though. If it's too many pages, it would be quite a bit of work for me. I could probably manage changing them to game-specific links, but it would take some tinkering for me to figure out. I've always had the karma -> Karma function set as default in the bot's script since it's supposed to be capped and it is mistakenly decapped so often. As far as appears -> appears only, I don't think my bot could do that without screwing things up. That'd be something for Theo. Let me know if there is anything else you need. ~ Toci ~ Go ahead, make my day. 05:58, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Toilets Paradise Falls[]

Hi there, thanks for looking into my changes.

I tried my best making up my first all new page, but I am not that familiar withg the editor. I can't access the console on my German keyboard (I know the key, but I'd have to fiddle with my windows 7) so I can't take the pictures on my own and I am completely at a loss with location id's and the like.

I just looked through this agin and the grille is titled "Drainage gate to Paradise Falls" from the inside and "Drainage Gate to the Toilets" from outside.

Image Size[]

Is there a limit on the size of the image file? I am trying to upload an image and it gets to almost done and then just stalls out. So I am thinking there is a cap. I have tried a couple of times to upload it, I have tried reducing the size of it. Nothing seems to work. It is about 12,700KB.

--StylesV13 (talk) 23:11, January 6, 2013 (UTC)StylesV13

I wasn't thinking to much when it came to reducing size. I got it down to just over 1000KB. That will save my internet usage alot. I need to get it upgraded. I have the basic package, I think it's 15G which is pretty much nothing.

As for the images of Osceolla. Taking several screen shots and then putting it together like a giant puzzle. It takes time to do it, but I have been fine tuning it as I go.

--StylesV13 (talk) 23:33, January 6, 2013 (UTC)StylesV13

Stil fine tuning the process. 5/6 for such a large image would be good, so you can zoom in like you said. Is the one I upload for above ground Osceolla ok?

Chat bot[]

Just to let you know, I'm experimenting with an automated chatlog bot. You can see the bot at User:FOWchatbot. Still working out the kinks, but the chat logs will show in the page linked on that userpage and in [[Category:Wikia Chat logs]]. I've given the bot a flag, so the edits don't show in rc, and if this works properly, we'll probably have to protect the logs and give the bot admin rights. I'll keep you posted on how it's working, but this will save me a ton of effort. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 05:36, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

It seems to be working correctly. As long as that account stays in chat, it'll keep logging, with a new log generated every day. The only differences with what I was manually doing is that the bot has to upload it's data dump to a server, while I could save it locally on my computer, and the bot script can not include the html elements like avatars, emotes and enter/leave/kick/ban/ notices. Not a bad trade-off for me not to have to run out to the garage every couple of hours and download the log manually. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 01:02, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
