Thanks
Hey thanks for cropping that Bubbles pic for me, the table looks a lot better now!
 * Yeah thanks for the tip. I'm trying to make the DK: King of Swing article more presentable so I will keep that tool in mind.

Favor
I have sprites I am willing to upload from DK: King of Swing, but the background is purple. Are you able to recolor them if I upload or send them to you?
 * Alright cool. I think the size might be messed up as well but I think someone with more skill image-wise than me can fix it.
 * Yes I'm really not that technologically skilled to do that stuff. Sorry.

Shiny sprites
Maybe you'd like to find some better sprites?-- 18:41, 10 December 2016 (EST)
 * I just found the texture from sticker star that makes the sprites shiny.-- 19:33, 10 December 2016 (EST)
 * Alrighty.
 * The Paper sprites are getting deleted, which I expected. Is there anyway you can get some native resolution png screenshots from Paper Jam of the paper enemies, for cropping? Like maybe using the Citra emulator, or through homebrew HANS or whatvere. I barely understand any of that.-- 09:45, 13 December 2016 (EST)

Re: Deleting bestiary leftovers
Look, I want to incorporate the enemy idle animations back into the Bestiaries, not on the page itself, but when transcluded the gifs show up in the enemy box. However, I can't very well do that if you're going to delete all the gifs.-- 23:30, 10 December 2016 (EST)
 * I've already added the Paper Jam gifs. Speaking of which, I might need to whip up a new proposal soon, one that will allow modification of images in order to give an accurate portrayal, ie adding the white outline to the sticker star sprites and uploading them under paper jam.-- 00:51, 11 December 2016 (EST)
 * Just please, take a step back on the gifs that belong to RPGs. They aren't leftovers.-- 01:14, 11 December 2016 (EST)
 * Actually, I'm only concerned with the RPGs.-- 01:54, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Re: Images and Categories
Hi! I am so sorry for not filling the spaces! I actually knew what I was doing for the template: I actually just filled it on the 1st frame image and the rest I left incomplete since I thought only filling the first frame would be enough, as the other images are just a sequence...

I left the categories empty because we didn't have a category page for those, again, sorry!!! If you are willing to create those category pages, I tramslated the titles of the comics: The Halloween one is "Ashley meets Halloween" (or maybe Ashley's Halloween meeting, I am not the best in japanese, sorry) and the 2nd, the Barbara one is merely called "Barbara and Ashley"

Thank you so much for warning me!
 * Thanks for the help! I will be sure to add the content about the comic to the pages! I will just need time to translate the Barabra one since this one has actual vlines -w-

Homebrew
Ok, I might do the Homebrew. I have a New 3DS XL, up to date, and my copy of Paper Jam is digital. Will this mess up my system, revoke my Nintendo Network account, is it reversible?-- 17:28, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * I remember seeing a homebrew thing that lets you make custom 3DS themes. Can I still do that with 3DSX? And will using the exploits in compatible games ruin the game?-- 19:47, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * I think only the smashbroshax will work for me, but it sounds risky since it can affect other smash players. Is the exploit, or exploits, a one time only thing or what?-- 20:07, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * I think I may need to find myself a copy of Freakyforms Deluxe because the smashbrosax sounds way too complicated for me to comprehend.-- 20:39, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * Okay, I did the freakyhax and got to the homebrew menu. I went to the theme manager and scanned for themes. It stayed there awhile and I couldn't exit so I closed the system. The screen was black and I couldn't do anything so I turned it off and back on. now when I do the exploit, it partially loads, but it stay on the black screen that says the homemenu ropbin is ready.-- 20:53, 14 December 2016 (EST)
 * Guess it takes a few tries. However when I try booting paper jam up in hans, the bottom screen goes red and the top goes black.-- 21:19, 14 December 2016 (EST)
 * What's NTR CFW and would it work as an alternative to using HANS for the screenshots?-- 18:24, 17 December 2016 (EST)
 * I'm asking you because I don't understand anything in the world of homebrew, and I'm not a redditor. You're my reference. Check this out here.--
 * What's a cia?-- 19:36, 17 December 2016 (EST)

MTM
I only managed to get the DOS version working by running Windows XP through VirtualBox, and even then the results are iffy. I can save, but some parts are oddly sped up. Still, I've been getting my images directly from the folders; it's convenient that the static images are .bmp, which can be easily converted to .png. Unfortunately, any elements that are animated, including Paradise, are stored as .anx, which is a lot harder (read: impossible from what I can tell) to convert. I can try to take a screencap of the ending, but that'll require going through the rest of the game first. 01:26, 14 December 2016 (EST)

image category
Do photos like this need a category besides the license one? -- 08:57, 15 December 2016 (EST)

APNG Optimizer (usable both with still and animated PNG)
In my past proposal about APNG you asked if optimizators for APNG images like Zopfling exist. They do indeed exist: APNG Optimizer is an open-source (zlib license) software that works both with still and animated PNG files and has, among the compressors, also Zopfli, making it pretty much a superset of current optimizators for still PNG files. I think it might be interesting for you, considering Google is about to implement APNG in Chrome and such an optimizer would optimize all .png files, both still and animated.--Mister Wu (talk) 21:05, 16 December 2016 (EST)

Re: Replace Images
Thanks for the advice. BTW is there any way to distinguish which screenshots in Cat:MLBIS Images are not pixel-accurate? I might have missed some JPG-converted-to-PNG images (as well as incorrectly configured ones like this). Also I have yet to hunt for images with emulator-generated borders or from a non-US locale. -- 03:12, 18 December 2016 (EST)
 * Ah, thanks for the encouragement. For JPG-to-PNG, I used MS Paint's "fill/color bucket" tool to detect irregularities in color around text or game elements. And the advice to use SoftRasterizer was in time too!
 * Unfortunately, this is what I can do for now because there's a Giant Bowser vs Fawful Express intermission which requires the player blowing into the microphone, but the noise sample provided by DeSmuME isn't recognized as blowing, nor is my microphone input when I really blow (even after setting the Windows 7 meters to maximum), so I'm literally stuck there. -- 21:24, 29 December 2016 (EST)
 * Can you tell me what that YouTube video is about? I'm unable to view it myself since YouTube is blocked in China. Thanks. -- 23:57, 29 December 2016 (EST)
 * Ah, great! It worked and now I can resume the project. By the way, it seems that simply turning on SoftRasterizer is not enough to correctly render the HP/SP panels in screenshots like File:Memory ML.png in DeSmuME 0.9.11. I had to check the "Enable TXT Hack" to get a better version of that screenshot. Even worse, even with "Enable TXT Hack" turned on rendering of Baby Mario is still wrong in File:Babybowserfight.PNG compared with the Spriters Resource. (I was using the x64 version without enabling the dynamic recompiler.) -- 01:08, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Re:Image Category Reminder
Thanks for the heads-up. I do try to categorize images as best as I can, and if I forget, anyone, including myself, can categorize them for me. Plus, if you fail to categorize images from an upload, the image will flash a reminder at you to add categories. 10:29, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Re:Signature
I fixed it. Better? 17:12, 21 December 2016 (EST)

RE:File Edit
Whoops, sorry! Didn't mean to remove that. I just meant to remove the information on the that wasn't used, but I must've removed the  along with it. My bad! 00:01, 23 December 2016 (EST)

Yes, you were right.
I was talking about how Daroach and Lord Count Blumiere "Bleck". They both leaders of a that (at one point) had four members, and were evil. They treat their group like family as well. They both wear hats and cloaks, and finally they both attack by releasing projectiles out of their cloak. So as you they have a lot in common and I just wanted people to know that. So, sorry.

omg
plz let me know if there's an original 3DS exploit on newest firmware, I'm dying for one. I hate using Miiverse to upload images :p 16:19, 28 December 2016 (EST)

RE: CTTT
Oops, I didn't know we had that image collection. If I make any future articles on these levels, I'll make sure to use them. Thanks for the heads-up! Quizmelon (talk) 05:17, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Re: Block template
Another admin agreed, so I've fixed the font colors of "block log" to match regular blue links, and also changed some magic word stuff.

Re: Deletion of Upload Wars
I should be up to date now, sorry that they slipped my mind earlier!

Sumo Robots!
On the article you created, Sumo Robots!, it says at the end 'this game tremors'. What is that supposed to mean? 10:15, 5 January 2017 (EST)

Chan missing from PM bestiary
Chan is missing from the Paper Mario bestiary and I don't know where to place him; i.e. which tow enemies to place him between.-- 19:04, 11 January 2017 (EST)

On issuing warnings
Hi Wildgoosespeeder. The admins agreed that it was necessary to post a message here regarding some types of warnings you've been issuing lately. Please remember that before giving out any of the four warning templates, that you are fully aware of the relevant policy, and have first given the situation careful and proper judgement.

The problem has arisen several times through warning appeals from other users, which involve templates that should never have been issued in the first place. The user should have just been told to purge his browser's cache, as you knew that was the reason why he reverted the upload. Secondly, to The RPG Gamer regarding using HTML markup had no standing at all with the warning policy: issuing a reminder was completely out of the question. Finally, the reminder that Toadette the Achiever recently appealed should also have been considered more carefully. You yourself linked to Courtesy with the reminder, even if it clearly states that " discourteous behavior is not serious enough to warrant an official right off the bat" in the first paragraph.

Warnings are a serious thing, and it's important that they are issued correctly. And if you're in doubt on whether a first-time or minor infraction deserves a warning or not, it's always better to go with an informal message first. Please don't take this as a discouragement from enforcing the rules: it's just to ensure that enforcement is done properly, and hopefully it may also reduce the number of users appealing their warnings. Thanks for reading.

OpenGL for Partners in Time battles?
If you've followed my recent conversation with, there's this screenshot that SoftRasterizer failed to render Luigi's hat correctly (like it did for Baby Mario). In such cases, do you know if OpenGL is a suitable substitute for the 3D rendering? I'm asking because after I retook it with OpenGL, Luigi's hat did get fixed but the action blocks above Mario got thinner except the one in the front. -- 20:43, 12 January 2017 (EST)
 * Thanks for the info. That's unfortunate. Oh, by the way, are there plans to get articles to use using a bot or something? -- 08:01, 15 January 2017 (EST)
 * Oh, I only grepped those tagged with and didn't bother to check the sprites. Thanks for the heads-up. -- 05:04, 19 January 2017 (EST)

Forum help?

 * A few weeks ago I talked to User:Shokora about the possibility of changing the logo for the wiki, and they told me I should bring it up on the forums, but I really don't enjoy forums in general, so I'd like to avoid that. I was wondering if you'd be my middle man here. Here are two designs I came up with; I like the second one more.-- 17:01, 18 January 2017 (EST)

Thanks!
Now I know how to use PNG Monstrous! Now I can reduce PNG'S file size.

Example:

File:Snes_battle_course_1_crude_minimap.png

Bytes before: 110K

Bytes after: 72K

You can also become my friend without asking to me. 16:14, 21 January 2017 (EST)
