[edit] Effects are now skills?

Please have a look at User_talk:TulipVorlax#Does_this_deserve_a_page_.3F; you're the one who knows about these things. --◄mendel► 07:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your User Page

Sorry if im doing this wrong, im new as of about 30 minutes ago. I was looking at your main page, of characters, and was wondering on how I can get a template or something to help make it look very similar to how you have it set-up. If I could get your help, id appreciate it. X Jstn X 16:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

The simplest way is to just copy my page, then modify it however you want. One thing to look out for is wherever you see double curly braces around something, like {{this}}, that's calling a template. If it's calling a template in my userspace, like {{User:Dr ishmel/this}}, you'll need to change it to your userspace instead. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 18:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for updating the skill costs

Skill points are used to buy skills from skill trainers. Each skill costs one skill point and a certain amount of money. The first skill purchased costs 50 Gold, and the price increases gradually up to a cap of 1 Platinum on the 20th skill.

I've read four different game guide explanation of the costs and they are all horribly confusing. This is the first one I've read that makes a simple thing read simply. Nice job.

Also, thanks for the other re-wording (esp. since you fixed the #s; I could only copy what was there before). Thanks! --Tennessee Ernie Ford 23:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ohai (Sysop question)

Hi there :)

For the last while I've been trying to learn more about this site and was wondering something. Would you be able to try to help me grasp the level of understanding of coding Sysops are required to have?

I'll understand if you can't be bothered or don't have the time, just thought you'd be the best one to ask. -->Suicidal Tendencie Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg 12:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Just basic wikicode that you learn in 3 days? I still don't know how over 3/4 of all the cool stuff works :D --- Ohaider! -- (contribs) (talk) 13:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Ah, so there's not an Ishy level req? -->Suicidal Tendencie Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg 13:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC) Hope he doesn't mind me calling him that...
Not at all. Most of us are pretty clueless still. :P Image:Entropy Sig.jpg (T/C) 13:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
(EC for no reason, at all) Hm... so... Ishy if he does mind I'm in for it now... + Mendel, anyone else I havn't noticed? :P -->Suicidal Tendencie Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg 13:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)something strange is going on...
Oh c'mon... surely 2 people aren't responsable for about 90% of whatever happens when I click a button? WTB Moar Techies :) -->Suicidal Tendencie Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg 13:20, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Warwick's pretty good, PanSola is proficient, Wizboy can do them too, I think, just call up some pages in Template: namespace and see who did them. Or call up Forum:Coding and see who signed. (Though I guess we can delete that section now?) --◄mendel► 13:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help on my title pages

hello, sorry but I'm going to steal your time once again. I updated my title page this morning here, but it won't update on my character page here. and on the titles page, down at the bottom i get this message "Expression error: Unexpected < operator", even though that part of the page was just copied and pasted from the Title List template. your help will be appreciated! 22:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I think you forgot to get rid of the last ) --JonTheMon 22:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
rah-ha! thanks!, still have that weird redt text error deal though... ShoganKiller 23:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Removed a parenthesis that was messing up your code on your titles page, then null edit on the character's page fixed the red error text.  :D -- Image:Isk8.png Isk8 (T/C) 23:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
ty for your help guys, now i just have my sig issue, but i think i can get that on me own ShoganKiller 00:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
ok guys, this is starting to piss me off, everytime i edit a page that is linked to another page by the means of {{ }} those types of brackets, the page (such as my user pages) dont update the linked part of the page, is this an IE bug or somthing? because this has never happened before... ShoganKiller 15:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
moving this to the bug page... ShoganKiller 15:24, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
You may just need to purge both the inclusion and the page that contains it (Ctrl+F5 on both, plus a couple extra minutes and refresh again, usually works). Other than that, I've never seen this problem. RoseOfKali Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png 04:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Hiya, help?

Hey ishmael, since you're a [PRO]grammer, I ask you: we have some problems over at Template:Armor art gallery trying to implement the "without helmet" thing. I tried my best, but there's a really bitchy issue with the line-breaks. Can you look at my revisions and try to retrace and see what I did there? Before 10th August it was almost right but with that line-break issue I tinkered around for over an hour, just to split the images up in the end. However Kali doesn't like it, so maybe you find a way to fix it? --Image:Takisig.jpgTaki Fujiko 04:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the reason was for the other edits on the page, but you broke the Clipping parameter at some point (you changed it to display {{{Clipping6}}} for some reason), and the changes you made to the "Profile" text aren't working. To make this easy, I'm going to roll back all your changes to un-break both of those, then add back only the "nohelmet" stuff, then I'll try to see what's wrong. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 04:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Oh, and now I think I see the problem - you were adding two new table cells outside of the table you wanted them in. Of course that's going to look goofy. I'll have it fixed in a jiffy. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 04:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Teehee. Quote from Tonight's History Detectives Episode, spoofed: "Suddenly, EXPLOSION! Hip-hop! Everyone died. Tonight on the evening news."--Łô√ë Roar.îğá†ħŕášħ 05:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey, it's been a while since I've done that. :P I've been away too long, I totally didn't think of switching to my bot account for that.
Taki, it should be fixed now. The reason for the RC-bustin' was I changed your "nohelmet" parm to "Nohelmet", in keeping with the title-case nature of all the other parameter names on that template. Let me know if you need any other help! —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 05:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! :D RoseOfKali Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png 18:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] hiya

hey i was looking at that file with ur picture as a necro with the mask of the mo zing and was wondering if it clipps the mask with the armor "asurian armor"? just ummm edit mab the thing and say it there thnx The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.142.133.58 (contribs) .

If you look at the "Summary" section on the image page, you'll see that I didn't upload those pictures originally - I just re-uploaded them to the correct filenames. I don't have a necro with the Mo Zing mask, so I wouldn't know. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 03:32, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Test version of Cootle Sizzlehorn

Hey Dr Ishmael, I was wondering if you still need/are using Cootle Sizzlehorn/Test version. If not, I'll delete it. Thanks--Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg (Talk) (Contr.) 19:51, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Damn, I was going to ask the same question RandomTime 18:57, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
I deleted it because a) it's orphaned (I edited MP47's post above to make it so), b) Dr Ishmael is inactive at present, and c) if he decides he does need it when he becomes active again, he can undelete it himself. --◄mendel► 20:04, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hunter's Ale is not an "Alcohol Point", it is "Alcohol"

Good catch. I think this was an artifact of the original organization, which grouped things according to which title they, erm, abetted.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 04:56, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Transmog Tonic

Actually, I've seen it too. Right after using the tonic, sometimes (but not always) your character will do one /clap. There's also something similar in the Costume Brawl. When entering the outpost or battle, your character will perform one emote over and over (different for each profession and gender) until you move for the first time. I think it has something to do with humanoid disguises in general. You never notice it with other tonics because, well, they have no emotes. --Macros 15:11, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Come to think of it, the emote Livia does in the Costume Brawl is /clap, too... suspicious. --Macros 15:17, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
Hm. Like I said in the summary, I've never noticed it myself. I'll watch more closely today - I'm expecting the next quest to become available, and we'll probably have to use tonics to enter the UW again, so I'll have plenty of chances to see it. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:27, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I just saw it on one of my wife's characters. Seems to be pretty rare, though. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 16:55, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
That IP you reverted was actually me. :P And I've seen it clap up to 3 times in a row after transforming. You worded it better. RoseOfKali Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png 01:27, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Maybe I'm just blind, but I still can't remember ever seeing my characters do that. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 02:11, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Cartoony? Oh, those things are very much real and wet... I'd still pick the eye over the more concave parts of the face. RoseOfKali Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png 00:09, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
Nope, I had it worse than that. A couple weeks after we brought her home, she made a mess on the changing pad while Jink was changing her. Jink called me in to hold the naked baby while she put a new pad on the table... and she pooped all down my front and onto the floor. -_- —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 00:53, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] The kind of person who...

This is the kind of person who refers to TEF as, Ernie. ;-)

PS Good Every Bit Helps edit; seemed like the least we could do is explain how to complete it 1x.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 23:38, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

As I said in the summary, that was my intent. Either repeat the single Skeleton capture 3x, or use a solo farm to get 3 at once. I had actually written that before I knew it was repeatable, thus I couldn't have intended that to be relevant for completing the quest more than once.
And if people want to call you Ernie, then they're gonna call you Ernie. Fighting it only makes it worse, as I found out long ago. —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 02:24, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
