Images

Sorry to bother, but could I ask for a source from the two images that you recently uploaded, File:PMTYDDarkbones.jpg and File:PMTTYD Dark Bones.png? It helps the wiki greatly if you specify how you came across the image, whether you extracted it directly from the game's files or pulled it from another website. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 23:18, 14 June 2016 (EDT)

I don't know, because all I did was take the already uploaded image and reupload it as a PNG so I could make its background transparent. The original file didn't give a source. If you want to know where it was from, ask the original uploader.

Recent Uploads

I see you have been trying to fill in image gaps for Wario World with your recent uploads. Also good job labeling the uploads {{image-quality}} as a better source than YouTube videos should be used. Can you emulate, specifically Dolphin? If you can and have a physical copy of the game, you can use that instead. You will need to dump the disk contents using CleanRip to use it in Dolphin though. This requires a Wii with an SD card or external USB HDD with NTFS formatting with native GameCube support, as starting with Wii Family Edition, the compatibility was ripped out. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:11, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Unfortunately, Dolphin doesn't work for me. Those Youtube screenshots are the best I can do. A lot of our Wario World screenshots are really bad, to the point where my uploads look good by comparison (see Battle Ring (object) for one of the worst examples). 17:58, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Bummer! Any reason why? Error messages? Hangs? Crashes? Insufficient hardware requirements? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:28, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Hardware requirements. 14:00, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

Linking Files

Insert a colon before the title of the file. It won't file link that way. Difference:

That way you don't have to use Media:PM Mariothininking.PNG. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:46, 12 August 2016 (EDT)

Paper Mario Color Splash course links

I can see that you're trying to link up the courses based on how they connect on the World Map, correct? The way I was doing it was based on the logical level progression, which makes more sense. I want to discuss this instead of changing it back right away.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 18:57, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Actually, scratch that. I'm going to change them back. Its confusing and the different paths you can take to or from each course are already mentioned on the page.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 19:18, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Linking levels by how they connect to each other is standard practice for any game with a non-linear map layout. The order you access the levels is not set in stone; so the "logical level progression" thing doesn't work. 19:21, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

True, though Color Splash is actually fairly linear in its level progression. even though you can unlock Golden Coliseum and Redpepper Volcano after getting through Kiwano Temple, only Golden Coliseum can be played through next. That's just an example, though I'm sure you see my point. No one seemed to be against the way I ordered the http://www.mariowiki.com/Template:PMCS when I did.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 19:30, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

I want to come to an agreement on this, as I believe Color Splash is linear enough to warrant the way I did the links.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 20:08, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

It isn't linear enough. For instance, you had Cherry Lake linked to Indigo Underground. Not only does Cherry Lake not link to that level, there is nothing dictating that you play it next. You can get the blue Mini Paint Star and do Bloo Bay Beach instead. And since BBB links to Daffodil Peak, you can do that level before IU too. On the other hand, if you do choose to play IU first, it links to both Daffodil Peak and Bloo Bay Beach, depending on the star you get. Both of those levels are immediately playable upon being unlocked, so there's no designated order. Regarding Redpepper Volcano, even though you don't explore it proper until very late, the game forces you enter it early on anyway because there's a Rescue Squad Toad there you need to get past the Sacred Forest pipe.

Take a look at Wiggler's Tree House from Sticker Star, for example. It links forward to three different areas specifically for this reason. 20:53, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Alright, I concede. In my play through, I went to The Crimson Tower right after Cherry Lake, and repainted the Bridge Master, which prompts me back to Port Prisma to get the Blue Mini Paint Star and unlocks IU. When then faced with where to go next, logically I went with IU as I just unlocked it. Then when you get the stars there that unlock BBB and DP, I went to BBB because it had already been unlocked before. I guess I didn't notice I had other choices at the time. Can you see how It'd make sense to go IU BBB DP now? However with RV, while that's true, everything was ordered by the order its properly explored, so RV would still remain in the same position. Other than that, I can see how your system works better now, but I think it'll try refining it once we can get icons of the other mini paint stars.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 22:31, 27 October 2016 (EDT)
