User talk:A Helpful Little Gnome

My talk page: When leaving new messages, just hit the "+" symbol for a new header. I may or may not respond here, depending on who you are. Unless you're a mudkip, in that case the response will be a knife to the knee.

Other talk pages: A tip for making a talk page: Keep it simple, don't over organize like this and remember to archive, to prevent duplicate headers and general annoyance.

User:Pestolence

Is having some sig issues. Any chance you can have a look at whats wrong with it? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the signature's code, but something might be messed in the preferences. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I have that code in the signature box, and the box for raw signatures is checked. When I unchecked the box and tested it, I got the code that was in the box as a link. User:Pestolence

Well then, yes, I have that code in the box and the raw signatures box checked. User:Pestolence

It seems to be fixed now. I just took out the navigator template on that subpage and it seems to be working now. Thanks for the help. --Pestolence^(talk) 16:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I did. :) see you around, --Pestolence^(talk) 16:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Your user page

I like it.. I'd been thinking of making a cross of Myst and UD on a wiki.. _■^■ 23:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Glad you like it! --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Can't wait to start exploring it :D Wiki Extensions would help, atleast, could.. What's really needed is a special type of page where they can store things..

I like it too. Reminds me of the Pker Museum page (I can't find it at the moment.) I was planning on doing something similar for a Malton History project I've been thinking about doing for a while (and probably will do, when the time comes.) Linkthewindow ^{Talk MCM} 09:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you could improve it with template-foo? Though parser extensions would win.. Or even not on the wiki! >.> Also, can I map it? _■^■ 05:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You mean this map? And yeah, I could have templated the entire thing. But I don't like templates. :) --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 05:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Mrh? will the map be all crumpled? Or could it be a table? _■^■ 05:37, 16 November 2008 (UTC)~

That link won't work on my browser. I was thinking the map could be a bit vague (so not listing every block), and crumpled yep. I have a bunch of coordinates of what I have planned so far in a word doc, but that's secret. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 05:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yay. It would be nice if the wiki had something more dynamic built in,but that's not exactly the purpose of a wiki.. You just need to make twice as many pages for a small change. That's why I mentioned templates, but probably not. Still love it. Cheers. _■^■ 05:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Can I get directions to Tikhon? _■^■ 05:39, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I thought of templates, but decided to be lazy and not bother. I didn't want the template to end up restricting me in some way, I like the bare code so I can any little detail I want. Duplicating the same page isn't too hard, since it's a simple manner of copy + paste with a slight change. Oh, I'm not bothering the fields at the moment, but perhaps later. Too time consuming. By Tikhon do you mean in game or my game? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 05:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

So I tried out your new UDGame template here. It's looking good-you'll want to move {{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox3/Nav}} into the mainspace and make a version of {{UDAction}} without the link (for inventories) and again put {{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox3/N}} into the mainspace and make it customizable.

Maps and breaking things

During discussions over the Mall Status Map between myself and The Rooster, I created this atrocity to illustrate my point about how I thought it should be displayed. It's a hybrid of Status Map and Omnimap code, but I can't get the status borders, the suburb links, the location blocks and the background to mesh properly and accurately. My ambition exceeds my coding ability, is there a way to fix it? Or should I just abort it? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 22:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I can make it bigger, but not smaller. {{Omnimap Suburb Status}} may be your culprit... --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:56, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, these little things are images and won't resize since their set at some value. Maybe [[:Image:Burb-edge-yellow.gif|auto]]? Scratch that. You could try doing it in code, ie a box, dashed with auto width and height instead of an image. Perhaps a %percentage will work instead...--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to go test it on the page Gnome, because you just lost me. Bigger or smaller doesn't matter much (for now at least) I just want to see how viable the usability is. I'll see about creating new versions of {{Omnimap Suburb Status}} if this test looks successful in order to bring the sizing into line with the other status maps. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The Rooster seems to have an idea of the necessary sizes if that helps. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

User:A Helpful Little Gnome/M 79.5px ish, don't know if the .5 did anything though. You'll need to make a new template instead of User:A Helpful Little Gnome/X (although you could use it if you wanted)--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Cheers Gnome, that's pretty much how I wanted it. The only problem I see (and it was on my original as well) is that I think the transparent link pane is slightly off, I noticed it around Bale Mall on the map, the top blocks read as being in Yagoton, when they should be in East Boundwood. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it might need to be shifted a wee bit. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Tenth time lucky with these edit conflicts. Ok, I'm sure it should be 79px with a 1 px cellspacing. I set up the map for nice integer dimensions. Not sure why it's not coming out (I gave a quick test on your template, I was that sure), maybe the same reason the images look so fugly, the wiki can't resize them quiet right. I was so sure in fact, it was what I coded. The 2px border would make a total size of 79x79, add the 1px cellspacing. Kinda bemused now.--  RoosterDragon  23:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
