Use the '+' tab at the top to create a new section at the bottom. If I've come to you, let's keep the conversation there; if you're coming to me, I'll be replying here. The archive can be found here. Template:If equal and other stuff Since I'm guessing you're one of the few that might take an interest in it, I thought I'd mention that I edited Template:If equal so that it's actually functional now. The old version didn't work with this version of the wiki software, but I figured out a way to get the same functionality by using switch statements. I also figured out how to do AND, OR, and XOR, and have a demo for all four of these templates here. Those last three aren't in the public namespace, given that I haven't seen a need for them yet and hate to post templates that won't get used, but I thought I'd mention them in case you had an opinion on my implementation or ideas for uses. Also, is something like this simply too much for the server? It's demonstrated here. And while I have you, one last question: did you ever figure out a way around that issue with using noinclude on nowiki? I was trying to figure out a way to get ~~~~ in a template converted into an actual signature only upon inclusion, but not be converted when saving the template itself. No luck, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious. —Aichon— 09:03, 1 January 2010 (UTC) Well, I'm not sure if I can think of any uses, but I guess you could keep it around if anybody ever thinks of something to use it for. Your demo for GSGM is probably too much, it can handle maybe 20-25 groups before dying. It you view the source code for the page (or any page) you should find an HTML comment near the end of the content like so: <!-- Pre-expand include size: ''blah'' bytes Post-expand include size: ''blah'' bytes Template argument size: ''blah'' bytes Maximum: 307200 bytes --> This is the cost of the current template transclusions. Each is considered separately towards the maximum and usually the pre-expand size is the one that maxes out first. Your demo is 70k out of the 307k so you can make a guess from that. It could be cut down, but for the GSGM I don't know if we need a monolithical table (despite what I may have said before on the GSGM talk pages :P) since everybody seems to get by with the by-suburb test we did before. I never did have any luck with the nowiki/noinclude parsing. For automatic signing I think they'd have to enter the four tildes themselves somewhere. I don't think you can get around it. --  RoosterDragon  21:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC) <3 Thanks for that edit to Template:NoNews, I haven't been bothered to find the actual code for that. Ah, good old Rooster, saving the world one template at a time.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:45, 10 January 2010 (UTC) sigh I do realise it could well be weeks before you find this message, but what the hell. Samhain Slaughter 3. I'm needing a hand on this sort of colossal fuckup. --         03:54, 6 February 2010 (UTC) I spent quite some time reorganising the code layout to try and give some sembelance of decent design. It's fixed the worst errors interfering with the external wiki layout, so it looks like I've fixed it on the outside, though it's still a mess on the inside. --  RoosterDragon  22:10, 8 February 2010 (UTC) If that's the best we can do, I'm happy. Nice one. --         22:14, 8 February 2010 (UTC) I could do more, but like, fuck that. --  RoosterDragon  22:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC) Radio Transmissions Rooster, Is there any way to get a transcript or archive of every transmissions ever sent from a certain frequency? Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tpelletier (talk • contribs) 14:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC). Not to my knowledge. I doubt Kevan keeps them archived or anything. So unless you can find a record on the wiki or in an iWitness report or similar, they're probably gone for good. --  RoosterDragon  14:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Awesomesauce! I noticed you used my word. Just wanted to say thank you for helping me to spread the awesome.sauce.--Sean Connolly 17:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC) Very sorry Sean, but...well...I've heard awesomesauce before. :( It's an "uncommon" thing to hear, but I've heard it. In other words awesomesauce is awesome but you didnt invent it...if that wat u thought. IF. Awesomeness is also a term used in the same area. :D--Supercohboy 20:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC) A/RE Thanks for the above help, you have once again amazed me with your skills. Anyway, the real reason I'm popping in is to actually notify you of your bid which was scheduled and put up, unfortunately though, no one told you. just a heads up. --         08:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Thanks for the heads up. --  RoosterDragon  14:27, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Example District Page Okay, so here is our example page already in the main namespace. Less work than I thought, although it is far from aesthetically pleasing. Had to create Template:District for the sidebar and will have to make a minimap for each district, but otherwise it pretty much handles itself. I also created a page for the district barricade plan linked right to the page, and that's pretty much good to go aside from coding up a boilerplate template for that and adding a variable to the suburb boilerplate to link to the district one. Thoughts? --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 12:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC) You could extend The DistrictFormX templates to handle both the map and resource building layout. That way you can save on needing an extra minimap which links them up. Anyway, the page seems to work technically, but I just wonder if we're in need of these. Maybe you should ask around and gather some opinion as to whether they'll actually be useful? Maybe start a GD on it. --  RoosterDragon  17:37, 19 February 2010 (UTC) What's with all the templates? I noticed you've been editing a lot of templates, and was curious as to what you were doing. So,.... what's up with all the template editing? -Poodle of DoomM! T 18:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Just cleaning up code and making sure the the categories are correct for the various flagboxes. Nothing special, but there are a lot of them. --  RoosterDragon  18:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC) I noticed that there were a lot of them.... anything I could do to lend a hand? -Poodle of DoomM! T 18:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC) You could list any that look like they need attention. But I'll likely get around to them all eventually. --  RoosterDragon  19:09, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Sound like you have it under control then? -Poodle of DoomM! T 19:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Dude Fuck BC2, get Shattered Horizon. Also, steam account?--Big Cat 23:24, 26 February 2010 (UTC) You mistakenly assume I have a PC capable of running any games from this decade. So fuck random PC-only title. BC2 ftw. No steam (obviously) but an XBL gamertag (no points for guessing it) --  RoosterDragon  23:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC) You have made me slightly sadder and more depressed than I have been. :( Also, with the hidden ultra low setting in TF2 you could probably run it.--Big Cat 23:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC) 384Mb of memory. I doubt that's enough somehow... --  RoosterDragon  23:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC) You need 512 minimum, but then again, the ultra low setting isn't factored into that.--Big Cat 00:01, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Still, my point is made. --  RoosterDragon  00:08, 27 February 2010 (UTC) DSS template Just wanted to thank you for the huge edit and add on onto the DSS Template you made.--No one ever pays Rufus in gum! 04:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Hey, is the EMR Bot Broken? I couldn't seem to find any page stating it was, but it hasn't done any updates since mid February. I only ask because people keep posting reports there instead of manually updating things themselves, which I have been for about a week now (no complaints, I kinda enjoy updating things myself). And due to people still updating only the bot page, about a months worth of reports went unprocessed and lots of suburbs are stuck in February. Hope it's an easy fix, I'd hate for you to have to slave over this or something. I also removed the oldest unprocessed report in an attempt to get the bot a'rollin, hope that doesn't cause any extra problems. -MidgetMe 01:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC) Not broken, it's just run manually. So when I disappear on months of gaming binge, no reports get processed. You can always just update by hand, and berate me for vanishing without warning, of course :P. --  RoosterDragon  17:39, 5 April 2010 (BST) Ah I see. Haha completely understandable then. Sometimes you just need to step away for awhile. :) enjoy your time, good sir. -MidgetMe 10:19, 11 April 2010 (BST) yo, babycakes I would kill for an update to this.... pleeease? --         01:49, 5 April 2010 (BST) I could get around to it... --  RoosterDragon  17:42, 5 April 2010 (BST) Wait, you're requesting a demotion? You fucker! --  RoosterDragon  17:58, 5 April 2010 (BST) Anyway, did the whole set of images. Enjoy. --  RoosterDragon  00:30, 6 April 2010 (BST)
