That signature/picture of yours is quite good, you should put yourself into some sort of Users:Artists section if you created it :) --[[User:MaXiMiUS|MaXiMiUS]] 02:04, 25 June 2006 (EDT) | |||

But that has little to do with Elder Scrolls modding - my skills in Photoshop don't translate into texturing very well (though I've done a few good things), so I don't consider myself a texturer. Or an artist, for that matter - I'm technically skilled (know how to get Photoshop to do what I want it to do), but inspiration hits me rarely, and I'm really bad with colors. | |||

Daaaang... Nice. The only thing I'd suggest for that is changing the green to a more pale-grey-purple colour, or maybe crimson, but it still looks awesome. [[User:TheImperialDragon|The Imperial Dragon]] 22:39, 13 September 2006 (EDT) | |||

== scripting Q's == | |||
In my new cell, any summoned creatures do not appear, magicka is lost, the spell timer appears, but the creature is nowhere to be SEEN. i'm guessing there's a problem with the Z value. my dungeon's building blocks all have the Z set to 0. I just thought it would make sense. IS that the problem? | |||
also, whenever i summon a creature (a conjuration spell that i have CREATED, eg. summon timber wolf, which isn't availble in Vanilla) it does not follow me in to or out of my new dungeon. | |||
any suggestions or solutions with my two problems would be greatly appreciated! | |||
also, how would a create a spell which would allow me to summon multiple NPC's or Creatures at once. | |||
thanks, Luis | |||
Can you look over my talk page and look at the scripting articles there that i wrote to check them over for errors please. I am unsure on some aspects of the scripts and need someone a second set of eyes to look over them for possible incompleteness as well as balance issues. | |||

==Game Settings== | |||
[[User:Haama|Haama]] 17:46, 29 June 2007 (EDT):Umm... thanks, but before you continue, could you mark which ones don't have a description yet. I know no one went through and really worked on it, but it was at least possible to tell which one's still needed a description (and default's pretty easy to tell). | |||

I did them in alphabetical order, so from fAbsorbBoltGrowthWidth through fAICombatUnreachableTargetPriorityMult, with the exceptions of fActorStrengthEncumberanceMult through fActorSwimBreathMult, which had already been done. How would you like me to mark them? I'm not really sure how best to do that. | |||
::[[User:Haama|Haama]] 23:30, 29 June 2007 (EDT): Is there a way to do color codings? <FONT COLOR="F62217">Yes?</font> - no, tag of "Font color" doesn't work. | |||

Red a good color? | |||
:::By the way, you need to use the <nowiki><span></nowiki> tag. MediaWiki is apparently enforcing HTML 4.01 compliance. | |||
Game Settings up through [[fArmorRatingConditionBase]] have been added and/or checked for accuracy. Descriptions could still be wrong for all I know, but the settings are correct. | |||

==Linking to your fancy ?filtered? function categories== | |||
Ok, now they kind-of seem to be working (5 edits later), they're counted as external links, which is weird, but at least they work.--[[User:Haama|Haama]] 15:48, 5 July 2007 (EDT) | |||
:Huh? What are you talking about? You should be able to link to them the same as any other category: | |||

==Question== | |||
A fair number of tutorial pages added today were all signed. Wanted to know how you wanted to handle it. Should the name attributions just be moved to the Talk pages and a note left with the person or did you want to ask him to do it? Additionally, I removed some signatures on a few new pages for game settings and left a note for that individual that he didn't need to sign those pages and that signatures are generally used only for discussions or questions. | |||

I started a new Article for the Oblivion Shader Editor. I was hoping you could take a look at the article. It is a program Timeslip written a long time ago back in September of 06. I can not find a good description on how it function and the official thread that is linked to it is long winded and hardly anything about it but about something totally different so i cannot acquire a good description about it. I flagged it unfinished and flagged it needing updating since I just thrown together some basic information about it and thrown in some other things that follow suit to what it does. | |||

== Regarding Bylines and Mod Deisolation == | |||
I just read the whole discussion regarding bylines. I have removed the bylines from all of my articles, in the spirit of building a good wiki. Thought you would like to know. | |||
On a different note, I saw your comment about wanting to remove the warning from the door markers tutorial. (which, BTW is bylined, which is why my articles were bylined in the first place, I mistankenly thought it was common practice because the article I was editing was bylined...). Anyways, I do not agree that it is common knowledge to every new person reading thier first basic door linking tutorial that you cannot crosslink mods. Mod isolation rather kicked my arse for about three days after I read the aforementioned door linking article, got excited, applied it to all my downloaded house mods, got frustrated when my attempts at new mods did nothing but cause errors, then found about mod isolation in the FAQ section when I started to search all the help articles i could find to see what i was doing was wrong and saw others that were also having the same problem. Being the type to warn others about things which have kicked my arse and will probably kick thiers too, I added the warning. Also, I didnt even know about the deisolation tutorial, or that it applied to my warning, until today when I saw everyone ranting about it being edited then reverted in the bylining discussion. I rather think that my placement of the warning is strategic to "noobies" like myself who wouldnt know otherwise, but not cumbersome to those who do. | |||
I changed the title and significantly re-wrote the article to make it blend in better with the door linking tutorial, reducing the byline effect of the original warning article even more, in the spirit of being a good wick to the wiki. I would appreciate it if you would leave the warning in, in at least some form, so others wouldnt have the same problems I did. | |||
The deisolation techniques discussed in the deisloation tutorial were, by the way, quite beyond the average beginning modder (me included) so I kept the link to the .esp crosslinking solutions article I wrote, as I believe it is quite an effective, possibly original technique. I'm debating on whether it would be a good idea to include my "jigsaw puzzle" technique as an edit in the mod deisloation article or not, along with a discussion on merging mods using the new construction set. It is, after all, clearly marked as an incomplete article. I just dont want to piss off a couple of guys who are already fighting over edits in that article. Any suggestions? | |||

==External Links== | |||
Got a question about external links. If it is a small plug-in to something, like the script that used to be linked from the [[Loading Screens]] tutorial for Paint Shop Pro, is it possible to upload the files to the wiki? I am asking because the plug-in that was made for Paint Shop Pro is no longer available at the original link, and I am not sure where to even find it at this point (I am going to keep looking though). As time goes on, these external links to some websites are disappearing at a good clip (and messing up the tutorials that rely on them) and some of these files are extremely useful if you don't want to re-invent the wheel, so to speak, or for those who are less knowledgable about the programs being used. | |||
--[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 19:57, 11 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
:I agree, but I simply don't know. Feel free to experiment with the Upload File thing if you want. | |||

::Well, it looks like there is a 2MB or so cap on any uploaded files from what I can tell. On top of that, the only allowed file types are png, gif, jpg, and jpeg so uploading files for download isn't going to work. Looks like the only way would be to see if we could get space someplace for file uploads/downloads and then put any important files there. Of course, we would also need to locate those files in the first place. At least the corporate websites are staying up and keeping their free tools available so we don't have a problem there. The only other option I can think of is to increase the wiki's scope to deal with things like the script for Paint Shop Pro that was written for making Load Screens. | |||

==Wiki== | |||
Is it just me, or was the wiki down yesterday? I couldn't work on my ongoing mod since I needed a reference I couldn't get to. | |||
--[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 13:17, 20 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
:It was. I e-mailed Gstaff about it, but never got a response. Clearly, they fixed it. | |||

== Images in 3dsmax tutorial == | |||
For some reason, I was unable to make those images to show up in [[From 3dsmax to Oblivion CS]] tutorial, I tried uploading several times. | |||
But if someone can upload them, they are here: http://krabas.virusas.org/oblivion/tutorial.rar | |||

==Bit of an over-zealous edit== | |||
[[User:Winston1|Have you seen this?]]<br> | |||
I don't believe IPhill has the power to block IPs, but even the threat is harmful.<br> | |||
I looked into it - Winston1 only made [[ILockLevelMaxEasy|one edit]] (you have to go back from the redirect and check the history of Easy), it could simply have been a mistake, and it was 6 months ago. WTF?!?<br> | |||

:If you ask me IPhill is the vandal not Winston1... and he should be marked as such. | |||

== Deleted Article == | |||
[[User:Leon_852|Leon_852]] I just wanted to check something with you DragoonWraith. One of my questions "How do I bring up the Inventory Screen" has been deleted. I just wanted to know, has it been marked for deletion because I didn't get any warning. | |||
