Hello Stooby!

Hey Super Paper Mario Bros. told me that I should ask you stuff about Userpedia. So he says I have to get a sysops approval... What is that all about? Petey Piranha in Mario & Luigi: Partners in TimeGalacticPeteyPetey Piranha in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Fo-rooms

OK, thanks for the note. Maybe I should give a bit of time watching the forums as many of the technical topics and other things around the wiki take place there... ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png

UP Forums

Please go check your message inbox at the Userpedia forums. It is of high importance. · SMB (Talk) · 00:24, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

UP!

Hey Stooby :) I lost my UP password :( What can i do??? --tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom 11:49, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Ok :) --tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom 20:19, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Re: SMB3

Thank you :3. I think that game really deserves it. Though it is not my favourite game (I actually suck that much at sidescrollers, that I never beat it), it is the very first Mario game I remember, and it was the game that brought me into the Marioverse (and overall videogames), so it's very special to me. I hope I can rewrite some more level summaries, as that gameguidish talk... well, it doesn't suit the game, I think. Well then, for a good collaboration ;3 - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 00:39, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Re:PMTTYD Beta

I did not. However, I didn't look at most of the item textures, which is where I imagine such a thing would be found. Plus, were I a programmer putting three different coin colors into the game, I would use a single texture for all three, and alter the hue in the program. That would make it extremely difficult to find them based on the ROM. Do they have any visual difference aside from color? - 2257(Talk) 15:00, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Well, the Life Shroom and Volt Shroom are purple and gold in PM1, is it just that they have unfinished graphics? Also, I don't think there's a way to do that, although you could probably at least take a screenshot with a video capture card. There shouldn't be any way for the system to detect that. Really I'm surprised they protect their internally released discs more heavily than commercial ones, I mean, if you had this before the "official" version of the game came out, you'd hardly need to hack it to cause damage. - 2257(Talk) 18:10, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
By the way, what did these red & blue coins do? Same as in 64? - 2257(Talk) 00:06, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
This is sort of out there, but Mario Party 2 had official art of an orange coin, which looked like the 64 coins but was unused. - 2257(Talk) 00:44, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
Funny, I felt that way about the final version Two pages?! I'm sort of inclined to think it's simply a bug, since they were blanked, but maybe not. What tool are you planning to hack the game with? - 2257(Talk) 00:54, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
Normally, I decompile ROM dumps and then do my best to figure out how the different file formats are encoded. Luckily, PMTTYD uses some fairly standard formats. The text in the ROM is actually Unicode in the original, although the English version uses ANSI (a Microsoft standard O_o) instead. The graphics all seem to be TPL, a standard that's pretty common in Nintendo programs. The model format is unique tho.
Obviously, none of that applies to you unless you can make a ROM dump. I found the GameCube Action Replay to be quite difficult to use (the way you have to decrypt and encrypt codes is extremely fail, as it prevents you from testing different values for a single address easily. The purpose of that was originally to prevent end users from creating codes at all, which is even more fail.), so I'm not that familiar with how it works, unfortunately. - 2257(Talk) 01:10, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

King Boo

The attacks on that article have become multitudinous now. Wouldn't it be better to protect it, so that this nonsense will end? - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 23:16, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Haha, I was in the process of doing that right as you messaged me. Anyway, good call. ;) — Stooben Rooben 23:20, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
Coincidences are weird ^^. Anyway, thank you for the protection. - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 23:23, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Monthy Report Reporter Found

I would like to take the position of the Monthly Report on The 'Shroom. I may be new, but I have been looking at the articles on the Wiki for quite a while now. I think I would be great for the position. Thanks! -User:Mario Galaxy97

Hey dude

Hey St00by. Haven't seen you like 2 hours... (JK, a couple of days) Watcha doing right now? I'm bored and I wanted to do something right now, give me something to do. :o RAP.pngRAP... School... tomorrow! :X

Haven't you even looked at my new topic at the staff topic? I need people to gather around for assistance. RAP.pngRAP... My secrets will be revealed there if I have enough support. :o

Ah, it's too bad that some other staff members are not responding right now, I sorta have other ideas to bring up problems... instead of posting problems that we would forget in the "Problems" section. I can feel a bunch of staff members missing some of the points. :X Any ideas...

Shroomerton

Well, it would be great if you could update the Shroombox :) oh, and I know it was not my conversation the one up there :P but anyway, I feel we should tell all admins that is strongly recommended they have a forum account, because many decisions are made there. TucayoSig.png The 'Shroom

The 'Shroom

Hi Stooben Rooben,
I dicided to sign up for The 'Shroom; I filled in position #8, the User Interview. I'm sure I can handle it, as there are over 10,000 wiki users. Let me know if I'm accepted for the staff, if there are any special rules for this position (ex: method of interviewing), and/or if you need to notify me about anything else. Thanks!

EDIT: By interview method, I meant something like, "Do I need to get e-mail addresses and host the interview off of the wiki?"

Guitar Steward

Hey, since I didn't know, do I need your permission to use the song template on the Guitar Steward page on UP? :S --Zephyr Mage 12:50, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

Shroom

P. Trainer here. Just wanted to say, i'm REALLY sorry about not handing in my Shroom section. There was a family tragedy, and I had to go offline for a while. I'm back now, and I'll be sure to get my section in for next month. Thanks, Pikachu SSB artwork.pngPaper PikachuPikachu SSB artwork.png
