User talk:M&SG

This article is designed for people to talk to me about various articles that I've either made, edited, or redirected. If you have something that you need to talk to me about, I suggest you follow my standards below.


 * 1) Use your section of the article: Whenever someone talks to me for the first time, I'll create a section for them to talk to me from. This will make things easier for me to find out who has recently talked.
 * 2) If you haven't talked to me before: I have a section called Other Users on this article. If you don't see your personal section, talk through that section until I've created one for you.  I'll move your discussions onto that specific section during the process.

As of 12/20/2011, I will no longer create sections for each user to input his/her messages. But remember to give names for the topics that you want to discuss with me.

Regarding how I'll reply, I'll create my own section on your User Talk article and then create a sub-section regarding a specific topic. To find my replies, look for the section name M&SG on the Contents if you have one available. Additionally, my signature will be shown after my discussion for you.

My signature:

If you follow my standards, then that'll make my work a little easier.

=Archives= This section will display all of my archived messages throughout my session on the Mario Wiki. If too many discussions are in this article, I'll be moving any discussions displayed on the Discussions section onto a new article.

Keep note that once I've moved the past discussions onto a new article, you might have to post your new messages onto the Other Users sub-section if I don't happen to have your personal section displayed. If you've had a lot of discussions with me, I'll keep your section name available.

Dude, how can you create a userbox on your talkpage.

Re: Hidden stats
They're not exactly from Prima. Many users on GameFAQs have tested the differences of each kart for confirmation (where their life was I will never know.) I trust them, as I can see slight differences in a few combos I choose. Maybe there can be a proposal or something if it's a huge deal. --Mechawave 09:46, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Re:Cheats
These are not cheats, but actually a glitch. It's very easy to reproduce even on unmodifled N64, so I though it's appropriate to upload images with only 16 stars collected. As a matter of fact, there's no possible way to cheat on Mupen64.

Hey
I found you're helping the Gold Tires article with my pictures.

Contributing for e-Reader levels?
Title says it. Should I add videos for e-Reader levels? I was planning to do a video for Wild Ride in the Sky. -- danimario9 03:52, 12 January 2012 (EST) Or i just download a converter to change AVI to OGG.

Please.
I've uploaded the video, but my converter made it an audio file or cropped it. Could you please remove the old 2 revisions?

??? (Solved)
Solved, the problem was: file exceeded max size allowed. Shall you do a Template:Media for .OGV and .OGA files? By the way, I've made a page: 60 Seconds It's about the 21st e-Reader level.

I can't upload a video though i'm autoconfirmed. Why?

Hi
What was the reason for reverting the Bullet Bill image?-- Hyper    Yoshi  08:12, 13 January 2012 (EST)


 * Ok, sorry. I've never heard of that proposal.-- Hyper [[File:Red.gif]]   Yoshi  08:22, 13 January 2012 (EST)

I see now what's bad. Thanks for reminding.--New Super Yoshi 11:11, 18 January 2012 (EST)

Re: Mario Kart 7 Images
I had to hack them from Prima's website. Some I couldn't find, which were scanned from a guide. --Mechawave 10:58, 23 January 2012 (EST)
 * You're correvt. I don't feel like paying $20 just to get artwork so I hacked my way in. The scanned artworks only look bad full-size. --Mechawave 14:35, 23 January 2012 (EST)

Articles on things that haven't been in any released games
Should we have an article on this Tuber_Tug i ask because it hasn't appeared in a released game yet

Re: Fan-made Media
Oop, I don't know how to tell tha diff...I googled n' used wat came up 'cause I couldn't find any decent ones here, pretty sure it was from Amazon. The only thing I did was change it to a PNG.Malestrom 09:07, 28 February 2012 (EST)

Re: M&SG
That one you have to use Dolphin's widescreen hack that has been built with it. You have to have that checked and the aspect ratio is stretch to window. Thats how you get true theaterical widescreen outputs.--Mickey 17:49, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Thank you!
Hello :) That was a valuable contribution you made on Princess Shokora. You know how you uploaded all those images? Thank you so much :) I am currently trying to bring Wario Land 4 to Feature Standard, and what you did is really a big help. When the article is ready and has been nominated, I'll send you a message :)


 * I've never heard of the Sprites Resource. Can you give me a link?


 * Wow! There are so many Wario Land 4 Sprites! I'm so exited! I will upload lots of them :) But we should give credit to the website, like it says. Can I just ask a favor from you? For the sprites I upload, can you give them transparency for me after I upload them. Sorry, but I don't know how to myself.


 * The GIMP, eh? I'll give it a go. Thanks! Also, I saw somewhere, you deleted a page. Did you used to be an Admin?


 * You a terrible admin? I don't believe it. You are super helpful and kind to me. Want to be friends?


 * Okay. I won't bother you about it anymore. I hope you are well :)

RE:PipeProject
Yeah, i agree.

Logos
Okay if I make them transparent? For tennis.  Yoshi's egg is hatching. And hatching!  21:58, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Mrcrackerpants
Hello again! Just wondering, we can both see that makes excessive Userspace edits, but I have already issued that user a, and I noticed you did again recently. Shouldn't the userspace you issued be made a, instead of two Userspaces?

I think you should tell an admin to protect his user page. YoshiKong.--New Super Yoshi 08:10, 10 April 2012 (EDT)


 * If the excessive edits continue, an admin will be notified. Also, M&SG, I want to tell you that I have trouble deciding if it's appropriate to issue a warning as well. The whole thing is kind of confusing, see here. Even though this happened a few months back, but I'm still quite ashamed of it. I was quite harsh on that user.


 * Too true! I'm trying to tread more carefully nowadays.




 * Sorry to cut in, but the Warning Policy outlines exactly how to escalate warnings appropriately (see Step 2). Basically, if they received a Reminder (including Userspace Reminders) but keep breaking that rule, they should next receive a Warning, and if that still doesn't stop them, they should be given a Last Warning, and after that, a temporary block. In this case, Mrcrackerpants should actually be on his Last Warning by now, rather than having accumulated three Reminders. - 18:26, 10 April 2012 (EDT)


 * A Warning has just been issued.


 * Your welcome :)



RE:Revision Deletion
Done.

Vandal
I don't mean any disrespect, but when someone is repeatedly spamming the wiki, giving a reminder is not going to do anything. He will just keep vandalizing the wiki until he is banned. GreenDisaster 10:13, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Friend request
Here's the user box. (P.S. don't bother giving me a user box, if I have more than one in my user box tower everything get's squish into it.)

&#34;Goo-Goo!&#34;

Color
Hey, I saw your work, and I was wondering how do you change the color of the images?

Oh, I should probably request to be your friend first. Could we be friends? NinjaYoshi

Would paint be included as one of those programs? Or would I have to download one? Because I really wanna make a a purple Yoshi in a Mario Kart from DS and 7. NinjaYoshi

Ok. It's a program yeah? Should I just do a google search or...? NinjaYoshi

Friends
Thanks for helping me out on this. I probably should have started out by say this, but... Can we be friends?

Here's my userbox if you're ok with it:

Once again, thanks! NinjaYoshi

permission
I think you may have seen it around,but I'm currently using the red rosalina picture from your user page. I would like to ask permission for using it. B.T.W. Would you like to be friends?User:RosalinaSilverCrown 20:14, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

Favor
I see you can get high quality Mario Party 9 images. Can you upload a better version for File:BowserJr-MP9.jpg, File:Mp9 b.jpg, File:Bowserjr.BreakdownMP9.jpg, File:KingBooPuzzleAttack.png, File:MP9 f.jpg and File:Mp9febtrailer47.png, please? I can't get them by myself. :) 16:48, 8 July 2012 (EDT)


 * OK. Thank you. 20:30, 8 July 2012 (EDT)

Re:The 'Shroom Error
You're right, thank for that, I'll try to fix that at this moment.

Wario's kiss
Hello. I can see now that you have uploaded this file, while I recently uploaded an identical one here without my knowledge of the second one's existence. My apologies for uploading duplicates.


 * It does? I see now, on the shoulders. Thanks for your reply.

Re: Image Categories
No problem, I just didn't know how.

Your Proposal..Which picture .png or .jpg
Last week, I decided to re-upload some .jpg pictures as .png to add transparent but Walkazo deleted them and told me about your proposal. but I wasn't uploading them just for transparent. He told me that they are both the same picture, I know that they are the same picture but (somehow) previewing .jpg pictures as thumbnails(smaller) will make some bad effects.

See this example:

Hmmmm? What should I do now? Should I just cancel all my work (on the whole gallery of PMTTYD)? or should I continue it? or should I ask someone else?? or what?!

-- 12:17, 18 December 2012 (EST)
 * Are you inactive or what? -- 14:49, 24 December 2012 (EST)
 * Then Should i continue? -- 08:47, 25 December 2012 (EST)
 * Since the border is black, I think adding transparent is easy and The result would be great, What's your opinion? -- 12:20, 28 December 2012 (EST)

Mario Party 9 Request
Can you please rip the sprites of each character in the boss fight screen? As you can tell in, the characters' pictures are clearly sprites. Thanks.
 * By the way, maybe this is asking too much, but can you also get the sprites from Spike Strike as well? I don't have the Boss Battles; otherwise, I would've gotten them myself. Thanks, again. 20:50, 2 March 2013 (EST)
 * Really? That's great! Um, can you rip the LAN mode title screen from Mario Kart Double Dash!! too? I mean, I think that screen is necessary to put in Mario Kart Double Dash!!
 * We can't even access its contents?

Re: Image
Aha, so you figured out that what I was using was weird. I mean, I uploaded these:

Er, I actually cheated the game. It's totally random items in item boxes. With that cheat on, I can get any items from any item box. However, I don't think these need to be replaced, as there is a feasible way to get hearts and triple green shells at the same time, especially if you have two player co-op. It's just very hard to do so.

It's impossible to tell in the first screenshot, but Baby Luigi is the one who used the hearts :P

What?
When was I uploading images with bad transparency? -- 14:40, 16 July 2013 (EDT)

Re:Tricks
Yeah I just noticed that. This also applies to large characters too, right? I mainly use small characters so I didn't realize it 14:57, 25 July 2013 (EDT)
 * Sigh, I'll add them too. I've known that there are also different animations when you go on boost ramp as well. I mean, Baby Luigi does a backflip for one of his stunts but he does a forward flip in a boost ramp.

Re:Small Miis
showed me how.


 * 1) Open Dolphin, Right Click on any wii game that has two Partitions, 1 and 0, Select "Properties".
 * 2) Select the tab "Filesystem" and expand "Partition 0"
 * 3) Expand the "_sys" and search for "RVL-NigaoeNR-v4.wad." Or anything similar of the sort. I got RVL-NigaoeNR-v6.wad from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
 * 4) Right Click on it and choose "Extract File..." choose a location then click on "Save"
 * 5) Close the properties windows then open the file you just extracted (using File --> Open, or any other way) via Dolphin Emulator.

You can now play the Mii Channel and it saves your Miis you created to the Dolphin Emulator.

Wiki Discussion: Wii & GameCube screenshots size
Hello. I'm here to bring your attention of the Forum discussion about what size we should get while taking screenshots form Wii & GameCube from the emulator Dolphin. I decided to contact you directly because you uploaded several images which aren't the original size as the wii and/or the GameCube.

Thanks, and have a nice day. -- 14:11, 11 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Ok, it seems solved.. Only Subspace videos screenshots must be original size, because they will be bad quality when taken bigger than the original size from the emulator.-- 09:02, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

Rainbow Road
Hey, that information you just put in is already on the Rainbow Road (3DS) page, where it is probably better suited. I was going to remove it, but then thought it does kind of make sense of it being there, but would you be fine with it being removed?

Image
Thanks for the resize, I was going to go and rename them to get rid of long files names, were you planning on re-uploading anymore because I don't want it to affect anything.

Model hacks
Hi. You should remember me from the MSM hack emails (I am not anymore the boring boy I was). I was miding if I could model hack MP9 and Replace Waluigi by Rosalina (Using her SMG model). I also wanna hack her voice. You think that this is possible?? Ashley  ( and Red )
 * You can descompress .bin files with ntcompress?? If yes, reply on my talk please. AshleySmooth.png  Ashley   ( and Red )  Ashley WarioWare Touched.png

KC:MM

 * I sent you a messenge there.... Could you help me with a thing?

MSM Model hacking

 * I wouod talk to tou about it trought KC:MM, but it is down. Do you think I can replace a Mario Sports Mix character model (rigged obviously)? Maybe this would work? I mean, rig in 3DS Max, and replaces in BB. If so, want to help me try?

Table help
Hey, I'm trying to change the background colors on the Mario Kart 8 tables for the playable characters where their names are listed and while I'm inserting a different color code, it's not changing color. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I kinda need a bit of help.


 * Yeah, I get that. The thing is I'm editing the character table for MK8, but when I change the background color coding, the color doesn't change.

Baby Rosalina MKwii (Hack)
I've downloaded this hack and used it over Toadette (not in Baby Peach) and it freezed my game. Tought, I've did my own hack using Peach's model and replaced Yoshi with the Peach hack. This worked fine. You know the problem?

'Mario sports mix debug There is an file called "debug.cmp" in MSM game's data. Are you able to open this file?

Bowser MGTT
Hi, just something about this, the transparency doesn't seem to be any more pixelated, if anything, better. Could you please explain why you changed it? - 19:48, 10 May 2014 (EDT)

Nice job
I think you did a very nice job on the new MK8 course table! - Robert ^.^ (talk) 16:39, 22 May 2014 (EDT)

Pics
How the heck did you find the multicolored Yoshi pics? I am amazed that you uplaoded them SO early. Kep up the good work for the Shy Guys!
 * I'm waiting to see them, but good job reardless. It sound a lot harder than double-sized and trasparencing SMK items...

Anyway, do you mind if I ask you how these will be added? A new screen will pop up for both Yoshi and Shy Guy or the roster screen is largely amplified?
 * Gotcha. Y'know, I don't have Internet for consoles so I'll try update everything at November somehow.

Random question
Why did you change that section thing? Whithout the page was better?
 * Sorry, I was referring to your talk rules that you used in the past, that every user has a section to use for talk with you.

Link, stop trolling
I have now seen the character selection screen, because 1) I don't have my Wii U for some days 2) I don't have Internet. Feel free to put it into the article and move Link now that it is official. Anyway, put it into the article but still keep the other.

RE: Personal Images
Okay. Thanks for the heads-up.

1920x1080
Sorry to bother, but could I ask how you're posting those recent images? Every image I've tried to upload always maxes out at 720p, but yours have gone to 1080p. Did you find them on a site, or did you take them yourself (and if so, what sort of equipment are you using)?
 * I'm fully able to take screenshots, and I've already uploaded plenty to the wiki. However, as I said, the images that you'd uploaded are of higher quality than mine. All you're doing is uploading the images from the Wii U to the wiki?
 * Conveniently enough, my computer has an SD slot. Thanks for letting me know!

Images
Stretching? Proper display settings? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
 * Hm. Didn't notice that. I don't believe that I'm doing anything much differently otherwise; I take the photos on my SD card, drop it onto my desktop, and (since the images start off as .bin files), I use a bin2jpg converter. I'm not sure what I could do to cause that stretching.
 * My only thought is that it could be the in-game screen resolution (4:3 or 16:9). I have it set to 16:9, since that's what looks good on my screen. Could that be the cause?
 * Still, are the current image proportions such a bad thing? I mean, it's certainly different to the original proportions, but it's straight from the game, so it's hardly wrong, just... different.
 * You're not bothering me, it's just that... It's like if you write an essay in pencil and then the teacher says that you need to rewrite it in pen. In any case, here's a comparison: 4:3 vs. 16:9. I swear Torchic looks like a pancake in the 4:3 image, but now that I'm looking at both of them, I can't say that I'm entirely comfortable with the 16:9 image. Which one do you think looks better?
 * Well, one more thing for the checklist, I suppose. It's not like I haven't gone through worse with image editing, but it's still gonna be a pain to go through all the images I've already uploaded. I'll try to get started as soon as I can.

Peach's in-drift glider trick
Hello, I'm here to say that Peach also has a different glider trick when using in-drift bikes, so can you add a picture of that when you've got time? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 08:42, 20 May 2015 (EDT)

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition -- World Images
Hi! I saw some of your P&D:SMBE images on Miiverse and wanted to ask, because I don't have the game, if you could take high-quality screenshots of the normal and special worlds from the Toad Houses -- to replace my low-quality screen captures I took from YouTube -- as well as the maps from the bottom screen (the rips from Spriters Resource only show the maps themselves). Appreciate it! --Zootalo (talk) 12:34, 19 June 2015 (EDT)


 * Thanks for uploading those! I was going to ask - again, since I don't have the game - if the secret exits for the special worlds require the same Orb colors like the normal worlds, or different ones? --Zootalo (talk) 15:03, 16 July 2015 (EDT)


 * But the Orb colors for other pathways are the same, too? Deleting that construction template just now seemed like an indication that Fire Orbs were used for the "normal" branch in Special W1-4. Am I wrong? Also, I was wanting to create an ImageMap for both the normal and Special Worlds like this one for New Super Mario Bros. 2. Would it be possible to snag some screenshots of those world selection screens as well? Thanks. --Zootalo (talk) 15:25, 16 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Right; I could have two separate Image Map templates (normal worlds and special worlds) and just place one on top of the other. --Zootalo (talk) 16:19, 16 July 2015 (EDT)

P&D:SMBE Item Drop guide
Hey, I stumbled upon this incomplete item drop guide for Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition that I'm currently using to create a table here. Any feedback or contributions to it, like the "List of characters" page, is always appreciated. --Zootalo (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

Thanks for the information! I was able to add that to my chart which got uploaded not too long ago. If you find any new item drops, feel free to add them there. --Zootalo (talk) 22:57, 19 July 2015 (EDT)

P&D:SMBE Levels
Hey M&SG, as you might've seen, I've been making articles for the individual levels for this game. I tried finding videos of World 1-3's course layout for the left path and couldn't find anything -- same goes for the secret path colors for the Special Worlds. As usual, any help/contributions would be great. Also, have you gotten around to taking screencaps of the Normal/Special World map selection screens? --Zootalo (talk) 10:12, 26 July 2015 (EDT)

P&D:SMBE Skill/Awoken Levels?
Me again. Is there a certain number of levels that characters can reach with ordinary/Awoken Skills? I'm thinking about creating another table that lists that (as well as the required Skill items to be used and the turn numbers). --Zootalo (talk) 16:30, 29 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Got this page up not too long ago. As always, feel free to fill in any gaps that're there. Thanks once again for the help! --Zootalo (talk) 01:53, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Re: Mario Kart 8 parts
Probably. Unless you want to help out, that would be greatly appreciated. Though someone should inform RandomTBush that he forgot to rip the blue Sport Bike and Comet body part. 23:32, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

Helper Skill Item amounts
Hey, M&SG, what are the Skill Item requirements for the following characters: the Winged Yoshis, Cat Luigi, Super Rosalina, Boom Boom, Bowser Jr., Super Peach, Dry Bowser, and Bowser the Koopa King? I just need those characters so I can complete the Skill Item table -- it's gonna take a while for me to get that myself (I'm currently at ★World 4). Thanks! --Zootalo (talk) 23:09, 13 August 2015 (EDT)


 * Right, I know what KINDS of items they use, but I just need to know how MUCH (like, if Super Rosalina uses 5/8/11 for both types of Comet Medals; I know normal Peach uses 3/5/7 for both Super Stars). Skill items requirements seem to follow a set pattern (2/3/4; 3/5/7; 4/6/8; 5/8/11). --Zootalo (talk) 23:25, 13 August 2015 (EDT)
