Hey thanks for cropping that Bubbles pic for me, the table looks a lot better now! {{User:DKPetey99/sig}} | |||
:Yeah thanks for the tip. I'm trying to make the [[DK: King of Swing]] article more presentable so I will keep that tool in mind. {{User:DKPetey99/sig}} | |||
== Favor == | |||
I have sprites I am willing to upload from DK: King of Swing, but the background is purple. Are you able to recolor them if I upload or send them to you? {{User:DKPetey99/sig}} | |||
:Alright cool. I think the size might be messed up as well but I think someone with more skill image-wise than me can fix it. {{User:DKPetey99/sig}} | |||

::Alrighty. | |||
:::The Paper sprites are getting deleted, which I expected. Is there anyway you can get some native resolution png screenshots from Paper Jam of the paper enemies, for cropping? Like maybe using the Citra emulator, or through homebrew HANS or whatvere. I barely understand any of that.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 09:45, 13 December 2016 (EST) | |||
== Re: Deleting bestiary leftovers == | |||
Look, I want to incorporate the enemy idle animations back into the Bestiaries, not on the page itself, but when transcluded the gifs show up in the enemy box. However, I can't very well do that if you're going to delete all the gifs.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 23:30, 10 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:I've already added the Paper Jam gifs. Speaking of which, I might need to whip up a new proposal soon, one that will allow modification of images in order to give an accurate portrayal, ie adding the white outline to the sticker star sprites and uploading them under paper jam.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 00:51, 11 December 2016 (EST) | |||

== Re: Images and Categories == | |||
Hi! I am so sorry for not filling the spaces! I actually knew what I was doing for the <nowiki>{{aboutfile}}</nowiki> template: I actually just filled it on the 1st frame image and the rest I left incomplete since I thought only filling the first frame would be enough, as the other images are just a sequence... | |||
I left the categories empty because we didn't have a category page for those, again, sorry!!! If you are willing to create those category pages, I tramslated the titles of the comics: The Halloween one is "Ashley meets Halloween" (or maybe Ashley's Halloween meeting, I am not the best in japanese, sorry) and the 2nd, the Barbara one is merely called "Barbara and Ashley" | |||
Thank you so much for warning me!{{User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig}} | |||

== Homebrew == | |||
Ok, I might do the Homebrew. I have a New 3DS XL, up to date, and my copy of Paper Jam is digital. Will this mess up my system, revoke my Nintendo Network account, is it reversible?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 17:28, 13 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:I remember seeing a homebrew thing that lets you make custom 3DS themes. Can I still do that with 3DSX? And will using the exploits in compatible games ruin the game?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 19:47, 13 December 2016 (EST) | |||
::I think only the smashbroshax will work for me, but it sounds risky since it can affect other smash players. Is the exploit, or exploits, a one time only thing or what?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:07, 13 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:::I think I may need to find myself a copy of Freakyforms Deluxe because the smashbrosax sounds way too complicated for me to comprehend.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:39, 13 December 2016 (EST) | |||
::::Okay, I did the freakyhax and got to the homebrew menu. I went to the theme manager and scanned for themes. It stayed there awhile and I couldn't exit so I closed the system. The screen was black and I couldn't do anything so I turned it off and back on. now when I do the exploit, it partially loads, but it stay on the black screen that says the homemenu ropbin is ready.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:53, 14 December 2016 (EST) | |||

:I actually did manage to get NTR CFW on my 2DS and it works. The only issue is half the time when I take a screenshot, the game glitches out and stops rendering sprites, only models and textures. But if you can get the cartridge version of Paper Jam working with HANS, that'll be way more convenient. One thing though: DO NOT UPDATE THE GAME. It's possible that's the reason it wouldn't work for me.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 14:26, 1 February 2017 (EST) | |||
::Are you going to get the pictures then?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 21:29, 4 February 2017 (EST) | |||
== MTM == | |||
== Thanks == | I only managed to get the DOS version working by running Windows XP through VirtualBox, and even then the results are iffy. I can save, but some parts are oddly sped up. Still, I've been getting my images directly from the folders; it's convenient that the static images are .bmp, which can be easily converted to .png. Unfortunately, any elements that are animated, including Paradise, are stored as .anx, which is a lot harder (read: impossible from what I can tell) to convert. I can try to take a screencap of the ending, but that'll require going through the rest of the game first. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 01:26, 14 December 2016 (EST) | ||
== image category == | |||
Do photos like [[:File:Hitoshi Yamagami.jpg|this]] need a category besides the license one? --{{User:A gossip-loving Toad/sig}} 08:57, 15 December 2016 (EST) | |||
== APNG Optimizer (usable both with still and animated PNG) == | |||
In my past proposal about APNG you asked if optimizators for APNG images like Zopfling exist. They do indeed exist: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/files/APNG_Optimizer/ APNG Optimizer] is an open-source (zlib license) software that works both with still and animated PNG files and has, among the compressors, also Zopfli, making it pretty much a superset of current optimizators for still PNG files. I think it might be interesting for you, considering Google is about to implement APNG in Chrome and such an optimizer would optimize all .png files, both still and animated.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 21:05, 16 December 2016 (EST) | |||
== Re: Replace Images == | |||
Thanks for the advice. BTW is there any way to distinguish which screenshots in Cat:MLBIS Images are not pixel-accurate? I might have missed some JPG-converted-to-PNG images (as well as incorrectly configured ones like this). Also I have yet to hunt for images with emulator-generated borders or from a non-US locale. --{{User:A gossip-loving Toad/sig}} 03:12, 18 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:Ah, thanks for the encouragement. For JPG-to-PNG, I used MS Paint's "fill/color bucket" tool to detect irregularities in color around text or game elements. And the advice to use SoftRasterizer was in time too! | |||
:Unfortunately, this is what I can do for now because there's a [[Giant Bowser]] vs [[Fawful Express]] intermission which requires the player blowing into the microphone, but the noise sample provided by DeSmuME isn't recognized as blowing, nor is my microphone input when I really blow (even after setting the Windows 7 meters to maximum), so I'm literally stuck there. --{{User:A gossip-loving Toad/sig}} 21:24, 29 December 2016 (EST) | |||
::Can you tell me what that YouTube video is about? I'm unable to view it myself since YouTube is blocked in China. Thanks. --{{User:A gossip-loving Toad/sig}} 23:57, 29 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:::Ah, great! It worked and now I can resume the project. By the way, it seems that simply turning on SoftRasterizer is not enough to correctly render the HP/SP panels in screenshots like [[:File:Memory ML.png]] in DeSmuME 0.9.11. I had to check the "Enable TXT Hack" to get a better version of that screenshot. Even worse, even with "Enable TXT Hack" turned on rendering of Baby Mario is still wrong in [[:File:Babybowserfight.PNG]] compared with the [https://www.spriters-resource.com/ds_dsi/marioluigipartners/sheet/52561/ Spriters Resource].

== Re:Image Category Reminder == | |||
Thanks for the heads-up. I do try to categorize images as best as I can, and if I forget, anyone, including myself, can categorize them for me.

== | == On issuing warnings == | ||
Hi Wildgoosespeeder. The admins agreed that it was necessary to post a message here regarding some types of warnings you've been issuing lately. Please remember that before giving out any of the [[MarioWiki:Warning policy|four warning templates]], that you are fully aware of the relevant policy, and have first given the situation careful and proper judgement. | |||
The problem has arisen several times through warning appeals from other users, which involve templates that should never have been issued in the first place. The user {{plain link|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Appeals/Archive_2#LuigiBro_.28talk.29 LuigiBro]}} should have just been told to purge his browser's cache, as [[:File:MPAdvanceUKboxart.jpg#Licensing|you knew]] that was the reason why he reverted the upload. Secondly, {{plain link|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Appeals/Archive&oldid=2117672#The_RPG_Gamer_2 your reminder]}} to The RPG Gamer regarding using HTML markup had no standing at all with the warning policy: issuing a reminder was completely out of the question. Finally, the reminder that Toadette the Achiever recently appealed should also have been considered more carefully. You yourself linked to [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]] with the reminder, even if it clearly states that ''" discourteous behavior is not serious enough to warrant an official {{tem|reminder}} right off the bat"'' in the first paragraph. | |||
Warnings are a serious thing, and it's important that they are issued correctly. And if you're in doubt on whether a first-time or minor infraction deserves a warning or not, it's always better to go with an informal message first. Please don't take this as a discouragement from enforcing the rules: it's just to ensure that enforcement is done properly, and hopefully it may also reduce the number of users appealing their warnings. Thanks for reading. | |||

== | == OpenGL for ''Partners in Time'' battles? == | ||
If you've followed my recent conversation with {{user|Shokora}}, there's [[:File:MLPiT Petey Piranha battle.png|this screenshot]] that SoftRasterizer failed to render Luigi's hat correctly (like it did for Baby Mario). In such cases, do you know if OpenGL is a suitable substitute for the 3D rendering? I'm asking because after I retook it with OpenGL, Luigi's hat did get fixed but the action blocks above Mario got thinner except the one in the front. --{{User:A gossip-loving Toad/sig}} 20:43, 12 January 2017 (EST) | |||

Literally, no, but functionally, yes. Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and DK are the four starting characters in the game, whereas Gene is only unlocked late into the story.

== Virtual Boy Screenshots == | |||
= | Hi Wildgoosespeeder. I've been looking into taking screenshots from Virtual Boy emulators recently, because results in the color display can vary significantly. I've been using Red Dragon, which is old software, and I've understood that it's not recommended by [http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_Boy_emulators Emulation General] and [https://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Taking_Screenshots#Virtual_Boy TCRF]. Both of these sources recommend the VBjin emulator instead. However, following [http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=33319 this info] on Virtual Boy color display, the RGB value of the Red is evenly spread in intervals of 85 (0-85-170-255). Using this information, the following image shows the proper colors of the Virtual Boy: | ||
[[File:Virtual Boy Color Palette.png|left]] | |||
{{br|left}} | |||
However, no emulator matches this exactly. Red Dragon is actually ''much more'' accurate than VBjin. See the following table that I compiled (all in RGB values). | |||
{{br|left}} | |||

Should [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox|your draft]] be updated to reflect this difference? With GIMP, I replaced the colors of a Red Dragon screenshot with the correct ones, and it makes quite a difference. Compare the [https://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/2/2a/20170211104434%21Dinosaur_Fish.png original screenshot] with the one with [https://www.mariowiki.com/images/2/2a/Dinosaur_Fish.png corrected colors]. On your draft page, should we give instructions on how to correct the colors in GIMP? | |||
{{User:Shokora/sig}} 06:15, 11 February 2017 (EST) | |||
Yeah, the instructions to correct it in external programs could be a little complicated for everyone to view on the policy page, and you're right: the small difference isn't too significant. I don't mind making the colour-corrections myself, so I'm happy to just keep that level of accuracy as a standard to enforce for myself and any other screenshots which I feel could be improved. | |||

== ' | == RE: A User's Submissions == | ||
It depends on the image. {{user|Shokora}} brought up a point in regards to the Chain Chomp images: The original screenshot image might have certain features that would be good to have around (the stake it's attached to, in this case), so anything like that doesn't need total replacing. If that's the case, I think the source image should at least be mentioned in an {{tem|aboutfile}} template on the sprite page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:30, 15 February 2017 (EST) | |||
:I would recommend that. Rips like the Mario Run sprites seem alright, but ones like [[:File:GreenShyGuyMSS.png]] and [[:File:Bob-ombMP7.png]] don't look like they were cropped well. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:52, 16 February 2017 (EST) | |||

I believe that I'm now done.

There's nothing I can do about the Luigi artwork unless I happen to find it online.

Since you | Since you seem to have included this in a few of your edits, I wanted to let you know that when you're adding an image to an article, it's unnecessary to include "right" in the image tags. As the image automatically defaults to the right, "left" and "center" are the only tags you need to use. It's an insignificant detail, but it helps clear out clutter. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:42, 14 March 2017 (EDT) | ||
:I happened to come across the citation needed on your [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#Wii_U|sandbox]] for 1080p Wii U images. To my knowledge, the only way to obtain 1080p images is if a game has a method of saving screenshots to an SD card. The SD card can then be inserted into a computer of your choice, and you can obtain the images from there. This is how I uploaded the bulk of my images for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', though it isn't much help if the game has no such method. In most cases, the 720p method you outlined is the most reliable way of obtaining images from a Wii U. | |||
::And I hadn't noticed that you already made a note of that, so don't mind this comment. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 21:23, 17 March 2017 (EDT) | |||
:::The citation thing is there understanding the technical details internally the Wii U, not so much what software designed for it can do, if at all. Yes, the Wii U can output 1080p (1920x1080), but is that what is really going on inside? Could it be taking a 1280x720 image and upscaling the frames to 1920x1080? I have lingering doubts and need clarification somehow, probably by Cemu's developers reverse engineering the console by creating an emulator. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 21:27, 17 March 2017 (EDT) | |||
== Hah! Youtube!? == | |||
Do u think I choose YouTube? No. I also know that snips from YouTube are nearly always blurry. | |||
I still insist that the latest snip was also from an emulator. I snipped it while was playing Bit Boy on Dolphin. And about my file list, except the first two (which I don't remind from where) all others were snipped while I was playing them on emulator. SSG3 pics was from the game's assets. | |||
I REALLY don't know why even snipping tool makes the shot you have got blurry. I also have this prob while ripping sprites and logos, which I snip, but it isn't pixel perfect, as I compare them to pics from the other collab websites, such as TCRF. How the heck they are pixel perfect?? :-) | |||

[[:File:Bitboy2highscore.PNG|Damn]]. I used TCRF's guide (checking auto-adjust window size and using the screenshot button) and the new pic is in native res instead of that foolish 1090x636, but when I compare them, quality is NOT changed/improved.

Unless there's a third wormhole I don't know about, this isn't really needed, as only two articles under that name exist and both use {{tem|distinguish}} anyway. Just thought I'd let you know first. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:10, 7 April 2017 (EDT) | |||
:That's true, though the ones with two entries usually have no identifier as they are commonly found through searching. Having one with "(disambiguation)" in the title would be useful if there are multiple articles with the name, while one with two entries that isn't linked by other articles seems kind of unnecessary when {{tem|about}} or something similar takes care of it. I guess it's okay to have around if you intend to include [[vortex]] and [[portal]], but the [[worm hole]] page (since it's a generic subject) already lists them anyway. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:48, 9 April 2017 (EDT) | |||
