Images[edit]

Kindly stop replacing images with your low quality garbage. Saya 14:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, of course you would know more than me about imaging and NPC pics since you've
a) Contributed extensively in the last few years and know all about the consensus regarding images
b) Have uploaded a great deal of your own and thus qualify to take a stand on other people's
and c) Happen to be an expert in imaging, which makes you understand the concepts of jpg size, resolution, brightness and contrast inside out
But wait, this description doesn't fit you. Shame. Now, do something useful or go away. --SerCenKing Talk 17:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
I've already told "Saya" I think s?he is talking nonsense but it's worth saying again. Of the images that were reverted, the only one that gave me pause was this one because I rather like my original version, but OTOH it's technically an interior so you're right to overwrite it - and the new image is excellent. This one is particularly good, even though it's not square. I'll let you off because it's such a good pic though! rpeh •TCE 18:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. You're right, I was a bit reluctant to overwrite that one but I figured we needed a view of the building, I'm glad you like the replacement. Ferrum was quite hard to get and I had to resort to a slightly distorted image, hopefully it didn't ruin the pose too much :) --SerCenKing Talk 18:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
I've reverted the images back to the old versions and kindly asked Saya not to repeat this behaviour. Jayden Matthews 18:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. Surely saved me quite a hassle. :) --SerCenKing Talk 18:30, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
You're more than welcome. Thanks for the star! Jayden Matthews 18:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment[edit]

How is/were/are my comment(s) unconstructive? –Elliot talk 20:31, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Of course, that is subject of opinion. I fail to see how a comment like the one you posted on MDS' page is constructive: it surely didn't prompt anything but further arguments. In any case, it seems to be settled and I don't wish to create an argument over something so small. --SerCenKing Talk 21:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Vitharn Images?[edit]

Hey there. Just a little reminder - and a bit of begging - for the pictures for the Vitharn page. Dlarsh and I have finished the page, and as soon as the images are there, we will launch. Most important one would be the square Althel image, but an image of the ruined city (maybe with some ghosts fighting?) and the battlefield in Vitharn Keep would be more than nice! Feel free to improvise - also, your thoughts about the page will be more than welcome! :) --Krusty 16:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll go grab some right now! Just to clarify, the "ruined city" is the exterior right? --SerCenKing Talk 17:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I think so - the image we already have only shows the sealed entrance and it's a bit boring. Would be nice with some fighting ghosts with the ruins in the background. --Krusty 18:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Right, I finally made that trip to Vitharn and I'm telling you... It was hard! I've uploaded new NPCs images (including Althel) and two others: one shows a fanatic and a ghost fighting in front of Vitharn and the second shows the final battle. I'm a bit worried about the second, I tried to tweak it as best as possible but it's still a bit dark. So if you like them cool, if not, I'll give it another shot. --SerCenKing Talk 11:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Not to worry! I like all of them - and realize that the final battle is a tough one to shoot. A few weeks ago, I tried to run around on the battlefield and it is a pretty messy scenery, no doubt. Thank you so much (from me and Dlarsh) - now, I'll launch the revamped quest-page and we can scratch that one from the list. --Krusty 11:18, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

(outdent)I agree, the new pics look great. A heartfelt thanks from me as well. I'm quite pleased with how the page turned out :) Dlarsh(T,C) 18:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I'm always more than willing to help... And thank you two for the great work you've done! --SerCenKing Talk 21:43, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Confront the King[edit]

I have reviewed the confronted the king mission earlier today, and it appears that if only if you paralyse manimarco, then hit him with the skull of corruption will the gitch work. I tested it with over 40 different spells, and the paralyse one, was the only one that worked --Manic 20:55, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

That is great information to know! Thanks for your testing - I wasn't arguing that it was incorrect, simply you gave no indication as to why you were removing the VN tag (see my edit summary here). If you don't provide an explanation, then your edit will be reverted as we do not know if you have really tested this or not. Thanks for bringing it to my page, but next time please remember to post a comment on the article's talk page explaining why you are removing the VN. --SerCenKing Talk 09:18, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Fathis Aren[edit]

Hey there! Right now, I'll begin investigating the Fathis Aren page - but before I begin I would like you to take a look at the pages for Dro'Nahrahe and Brokil gro-Shatur - and specifically the bugs section. On the page it says that Fathis will take the same midday trip to the statue (and the circumstances seem to be the same) as the two bugged characters - could you compare the schedules, just to check if he has the same bug? Thanks in advance! --Krusty 15:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I've just pulled up the NPCs that use that specific package and they are:
My best guess is: Fathis is gonna be bugged as well. Still, try checking in-game. --SerCenKing Talk 15:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Will do. And, just for the record: Fathis does not sleep - he just wanders around his quarters all night long. Back when we wrote the Janus Hassildor-page, we discovered that a certain quest had to be completed before he would sleep. Maybe it is the same thing here? --Krusty 15:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Nope, his conditions are set to "None". The problem might be because the package doesn't have the "Armor Unequipped" and "Weapons Unequipped" flags checked. --SerCenKing Talk 15:57, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Okay, this is the in-game schedule:
  • 12am-2pm - Wanders around in his quarters, Lord's Manor North Wing
  • 2pm-5pm - Mages Guild
  • 5pm-8pm - Wanders around in his quarters
  • 8pm-12am - Formal dinner
Now we only need to find out why! Seems like tow bug notes to me. And another detail to consider: When he "wanders" around his tower, he actually performs alchemy near the table in his study. --Krusty 16:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Yay! I've found the reason why he won't sleep! After a bit of tinkering and modding I realised that the sleep package is the last one in the load order and never gets chosen. You were right about the Arrow of Extrication as well - there were two conflicting packages and I chose the wrong one. I'll update the page. :) --SerCenKing Talk 09:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Nice work! As you can see, I added all dialogue and rumors and tried to clean up a little. Maybe we can somehow implement the last note into the second one? And maybe rephrase the service info from his introduction (since he never sleeps). Other than that, we can finish this page pretty soon! --Krusty 10:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Image[edit]

Hey again! You just prodded the image of Gruiand Garrana praying in front of the Altar of the Nine. Like I wrote in the cleanup-tag, that image will look brilliant as an "action-shot" on Gruiand's own page. I think it is a beautiful shot (you can even see the name "Arkay" in the background) and the only reason I didn't add it to the NPC page right away was that I would like the top cut off, so the image would be in 4:3. But, to remove it from the unused image-category, I'll go ahead and add it to the page as it is - and reinstate the cleanup tag. Oh and btw - can I point your completed-NPCs-hungry-eyes towards Dro'Nahrahe? ;) --Krusty 08:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, I see. Yeah I was checking the unused images cat and I thought I'd replaced it. Feel free to re-instate the clean-up and I'll crop it. And here's a treat for you :) --SerCenKing Talk 09:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Great. I renamed it (not entirely perfect as I accidentally hit the "enter" button) and put it on her page. If you will crop it, then I'd me most happy. Thanks for the spell-checking! --Krusty 09:07, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Btw.. do you want the image in 4:3 or square? --SerCenKing Talk 09:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
In 4:3 - I think the action shots looks best in that format (so we don't have two square images on the same page). You can actually just cut off the top until it fits - then it will be just fine. Thanks. --Krusty 09:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Soz, I just saw the clean-up tag.. Hope you like it! --SerCenKing Talk 09:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Yup, it looks great. Gives the page a bit of spice. Thanks again. --Krusty 09:43, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you[edit]

Thank you for actually explaining the desired guidelines and being generally helpful to someone wishing to contribute, instead of being seemingly more interested in demonstrating your station than helping Walbert 22:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
