94.101.160.1 was vandalizing the calculator page.

   

Why will it not let me publish it? Trolly Polly Olly 21:29, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Worked out the problem. Seemed to be the numbers in the source. Trolly Polly Olly 21:50, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Removing content from Level page[]

Can you help please?[]

Hi, on my user page on the profile section could you please help me remove the "[[file:|240x240px]]" lettering above and below the image I made, also the section labelled "Random Thanks" will not lower and looks out of place and poor could you please help me lower it and make it look more aesthetically pleasing. Sorry if this has bothered you in any way. 666carl666 01:16, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a load I am really Grateful. 666carl666 01:21, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Sortorder of quests on location pages[]

Well to me I don't see the benefit of sorting them in that order when they are already highlighted via bold and italics. 17:40, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

If you think that is best, I just find it easier with A-Z listings. 18:53, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Interactive world objects[]

Goedenavond Jspoelstra ;)

Ghost proposed me an idea of ​​creating a new type of page for World Objects (like Containers and storage or Vehicles) for those with the interaction is more important than the norm (such as healing archway), and I think it's an excellent idea, allowing a differentiation of normal world objects and special world objects and allow the player to have an overview of these. We wanted to have your opinion on the subject, what do you think my friend? Itachou ^[~talk~] 17:49, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

In fact, Porter send me a discussion about that a while back (Forum:Fallout 3 world objects categorization discussion), but there didn't really come much out of it. Anyway, I think it's a nice idea and his proposition was approved by Ausir. I'll have to take the temperature with admins to be really set on the way forward, but on the proposal for Porter, what do you think my friend? Itachou ^[~talk~] 16:36, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Edits[]

I just go and proofread the articles and sometimes things just aren't "professional" enough for this site. But, should people be complaining about this, i would just tell them (no offense BTW) "Though".(Nemerian 22:46, June 18, 2011 (UTC))

Craterside supply[]

Craterside supply isnt a merchant, Moira Brown is. So it shouldn't be on the location page but on the characters page, otherwise you are duplication information. But I do love how people start up projects and re-write the layout guidelines as they see fit without going through the motions. 23:11, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that, seems I used to many ~. But yeah I have come across some pseudo-locations that where created for the actual NPC like Gustavo's armory, who is esstially a NPC that wonders around Tenpenny Tower (inside and outside). So you cant even have things like layout section etc, it was essentially a page purely for the merchant inventory items plus information about Gustavo that is already on his page. 16:54, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

unmarked[]

OK. I was curious why so many places without mapmarkers were just Fallout 3 locations. Doesn't make sense to me, really, but I can play along. BILLYOCEAN 00:14, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, would you like me to change them back or has it been taken care of? BILLYOCEAN 00:15, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

This guy is obsessed with the man-meat[]

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.206.78.254 <- Is at it again. Great Mara 02:39, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

A quick question[]

I tried looking in the forums but kept finding conflicting statements. Do armor and weapons that you give to your companions in New Vegas degrade at all? Great Mara 22:12, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Guess, I'll experiment with it when I get Boone later in this playthrough after I finish looting the REPCONN test site basement. Because I saw some forum posts stating that they don't degrade but someone else said Boone managed to break Knock-Knock in three seconds when it was given to him. Although I not sure if it was due to having it shot out of his hands or what. Great Mara 22:24, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

So far it seems at least the weapons deteriorate, although I don't think Boone's been taking too many hits to say anything about armor conditions reliably. Great Mara 03:14, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Light Switches[]

Okay. But maybe it should be changed though in policy, for names that aren't proprer names, e.g. child slaver, base commander, etc. Trolly Polly Olly 22:30, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

I have some capitalizing to fix then. Sorry, my bad. Power Bonkers 20:05, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Somewhat unrelated question[]

How good are you at math, specifically combonations and permutations? Kastera ^(talk) 20:39, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out the number of unique Radio New Vegas broadcasts there can be. I've put my reasoning here, but I don't know it I've gotten it right.

• The first formula deals with the broadcasts in which Mr. New Vegas announces that a specific song is coming up (In New Vegas, we know the pain that numbers can bring us, well so does Guy Mitchell whose got Heartaches by the Number), meaning that specific song is next, followed by two other songs. The second formula deals with Mr. New Vegas saying a generic, all encompassing track announcement (More classics coming right up for you, so stay tuned), meaning that any song can play, followed by two more songs.

I hate to correct you, but it's actually 5 billion.

My language[]

While we're on the subject, is Dutch more like German or Swedish in its' word and structure? I've learned a good share of Deutsch but I want to learn another (preferably Germanic). Kastera ^(talk) 01:00, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

No, I live in the central United States, in Colorado, near the east of the Rocky Mountains.

I've never been, but from what I hear from friends that have been, it's not all it's cracked up to be. They say it's more probable that you'll catch a disease than win the jackpot.

Plus, all of the prostitutes around the city add up.

Age[]

Do you add a characters age to their page?

Like so and so is a something year old resident of this place?

I've seen a couple that had them, but most don't, and I wanted to double check. --Xa3 02:18, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Sniper Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas) Sounds[]

I was wondering since I was just on that article, but is the sound of the weapon firing the sound made when the rifle has the silencer on it? I was wondering since it sounds off when I play the file. Great Mara 17:20, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Honest Hearts pickpocketing[]

Any idea why the player can't pickpocket any of the main characters in Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts?

Nifskope test[]

Hello Jspoelstra =)!

Ghost told me that you know well the software and I can ask you a few tips. I tested Nifskope today by the recommendation of Ghost and it's a very nice program. In fact, its superiority on the G.E.C.K. is essentially for light, which is absolutely perfect and full of parameters are customizable.

I tried to make a recon craft image just for test, tell me what do you think =): [4]

Also, I don't find something allowing to put the render in full window, for larger images. I currently just narrowed the taskbar for the recon craft. Itachou ^[~talk~] 19:10, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Goedendag Jspoelstra ;)!

Yes you also right, the two have an unique style which can be chosen depending on the situation. Nifskope sounds better essentially for armors or weapons, and the G.E.C.K. for vehicles or something need to have a special light. I'll still do some testing to see what it can give. Nice day and see soon my friend! Itachou ^[~talk~] 14:46, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Honest Hearts pickpocketing[]

Ah thanks dude, but i still don't understand at the end of Honest Hearts, why Joshua's and Danial's belongings are in a box by the southern entrence.

RE: Honest Hearts pickpocketing[]

Ah, sorry if I ruined the ending for you in anyway mate. I thought you may had completed it already.

Vault 22 Inhabitants[]

After reading through the Vault 22 terminal entries, I'm thinking the Marsha Bailey page may be wrong. From my understanding of the entries it should be:

• Dr. Bailey: Husband, couldn't find reference to a first name anywhere
• Marsha Bailey: Sick wife who contracted the Spores
• Elizabeth Bailey: Sick daughter who contracted the Spores.

Could I get your input on this? Great Mara 00:50, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to check around later to see if there's any info on which girl is which, but I don't think there was anything as evidence, even in the common area I suspect was meant to be their's. Great Mara 19:06, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously?[]

Jspoel, you're making the rest of us look bad! 500 edits in a day, and what's even worse is the Van Buren badges have been out for a day and you've already gotten the 500 badge! Grrr. Kastera ^(talk) 03:51, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Haha, yep. My record's only shy of 200. I hope you brought your ghoul mask! You're going to need it. :)

Three Card Monte/Three-Card Monte[]

Hi, I don't know if you're the guy to talk to about this, but I have noticed a number of inconsistancies with the spelling of Three Card Monte. Here it is spelt with a dash, and I changed a red link thaat was spelt this way in order that it should direct to the appropriate page; however, it is spelt consistantly like this throughout. What should be done? As far as I can tell, every other page spells it without the dash. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to cause trouble by changing it. Cheers, Grammarlad^(talk) 18:22, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

What do you want me to do?[]

OK, so I was bored last night and I decided to get every bit of dialogue for Desmond Lockheart as he's my favourite character, so after about 2 hours of listening an renaming files I now have a folder full of Desmond Lockheart phrases, I was wondering if you wanted them to put on Desmond Lockheart's page in the quotes section as I do not know how to do it or could you show me how to do it. 666carl666 06:11, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

OK, i've changed the deathclaw mistakes. Sorry, i didn't realise

Fallout 3 Quotes work[]

sorry for the long file names it's just that there's so many and I keep forgetting what is said on them when I add the quote.

All the files are already .ogg so I don't need to convert any of them but good idea to keep it playing instead of making the file name the full script of the quote, I'll use GOM player.

Sorry about the caps lock thing I hit it by accident but from now on I will shorten them drastically. 666carl666 18:02, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

It says on you're profile that your happy to answer questions, so I was wondering where all the info on Van Buren comes from because you have been very busy, and maybe I could help fill in pages? Thanks, GuardianOfTheWastes

RE:Van Buren creatures[]

my plan was to create the pages and then go back to start editing them and adding info,pics,etc. after i was done creating the pages, the wiki went down and i couldnt access it. i think my internet might of went down. sorry for any problems.

Notable fighters for unarmed and melee weapons[]

Hello my friend ;)

Well, an idea that spend on my mind for 2-3 days. I found nice to add a little background on some pages and I think about add "Notable unarmed figthers" to the unarmed page and "Notable melee weapons figthers" to the melee weapons page, since the person using these styles are rare, but extend it to other weapons could not hurt (but pose a small problem, will I mentions below). Of course, only important person and companion.

For example, for unarmed page it would give:

==Notable unarmed figthers==

• Caesar, co-founder and leader of the Caesar's Legion
• Dog and God, a psychologically disturbed nightkin and a companion of the Courier
• Dragon, champion in hand-to-hand of San Franscico
• Kane, bodyguard and right-hand of Decker
• Lo Pan, master in hand-to-hand of San Franscico
• Lucius, Praetorian Guard Leader of the Caesar's Legion
• Masticator, heavyweight champion of Northern California
• Salt-Upon-Wounds, war chief of the White Legs
• Veronica Renata Santangelo, a Journeyman Scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel and a possible companion of the Courier
• Waking Cloud, a tribal warrior of the Sorrows and a companion of the Courier

It could be the same for "Melee weapon". For the other, well I don't know, because the mix of weapons in FNV (especially because "guns") make a little problem. Anyway, for melee weapons and unarmed, I find it quite nice, adding a bit of background to a page and I'm sure some people found it nice. What do you think my friend =)? Itachou ^[~talk~] 20:37, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I also think for skills could be a good addition ;). Otherwise, I think rare special case must be treated as such, like Toshiro Kago (I only know him for now), as we know it's a samurai and he does battle with his katana, add him in the melee weapons page would be not a mistake, even though statistically it's not the case (devs are sometimes strange).

I also done for the melee weapons page but don't worry, I had these characters in my mind (as do I like these characters with using melee weapons or unarmed style of combat despite distance weapons exist, they release a lot of charisma so I remember them easier, especially Kane of Fallout 1, he was very strong, he can kill a character with T-51b easily just with spiked knuckles. In fact, I remember the name and who they are only for charimastic and well created character).

Hehe 30000th soon like you said, you are a god my friend =)! Well, I'll get you to make the sounds of Liberty Prime but you have already done hehe =D. I imagine taking a nice enough time to improve a weapon, a character or a place that you like it should be an excellent 30000th edit! Itachou ^[~talk~] 21:46, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

One before 30000th ;)! Itachou ^[~talk~] 16:46, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Signature[]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Didn't realise that it was a policy though. Thanks for telling me and it should be okay now... Please tell me if it is/isn't and if you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them too. Thanks, The Guardian. Well I did ask for your opinion. What can you expect when they have to be over 6ft (about 1.8m) ;). Done, but it's a bit harder to see now, may require tweeking: The Guardian.

Quick Question.[]

You may have noticed that on my user page I have a list of quotes and some sound files amongst them, I'd just like to know would I be allowed to upload a sound file for a George Carlin quote or would it be deemed irrelevant on The Vault Wikia?

Thanks I just wasn't sure I could because it has little to nothing to do with Fallout. 666carl666 21:40, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

About the medal system[]

Hi Jspoel, I saw the Vault Project Medal in your profile page and I want to adopt a similar system to my wiki. But as far as I can tell, the medal is just simple template which anyone can add. So could you tell me how it works? How do you prevent people from adding the medals to their own profile? |Arcius| 23:26, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

you mean the wikia lab's achievement add-on right? Well, we have a bunch of medal images taken from the game so it doesn't look good if we put a medal inside those star-shaped frame.
