Help Request
er... I was wondering if it'd be possible to clean up some of the pages that I've edited but don't want to mess things up more. It's in the Discussion sections of the Build:Team - "Steel Wall" Deep Group and Build:Team - Barrage/Pet (Tomb Ruins). Pae 15:21, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * I've answered your queries on the talk pages of those two articles ;) --Xasxas256 00:52, 2 December 2006 (CST)

Dye images
I recently upgraded the dye images to .png and all uniform size, style, etc (see User:Bexor/Sandbox for comparisons between the old ones and my new ones). I slapped delete tags on the old ones because most of them are crappy and the new .pngs can be used in a lot more situations (coloured bgs like on user pages plus they resize a loot nicer). Now the only page linking to them is my sandbox, so no probs right? EXCEPT GRAY DYE. D:

It's on 20 million pages!! I don't mind editing them all separately but it's so much, can you use robots to do it? I like robots. :D

So what should I do? I can go ahead and do them all - they are all merchant articles - but I wanted "official" advice first. ;D

Plus it's fun to stalk ya. - BeXoR   04:03, 2 December 2006 (CST)   (I'm joking rly don't call police).
 * huh? Last I looked, while the jpg format loses some resolution due to compression, it resized better than png on the wiki - while could be fixed with the right add-in, but as far as I know, it was never added.  In the past on the wiki, png has always tended to pixelate more and lose crispness faster than jpg when resized. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:18, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * edit: I just looked into the Dye article. Myself, I prefer the jpg format.  Less pixelation in the reduced size images. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:23, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * Sooooo we're leaving it for now? Does this mean I can go back to watching the cricket? :P --Xasxas256 19:50, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * I still much prefer the new ones, as they are more flexible now, and plus they match. The reason they are looking so pixelly is probably because of the way I cut the image. I will work on fixing it later on (doing xmas shopping today). If I fail completely I'll resave them all as jpg. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 21:14, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * The pixellation is a result of the images being png format. Check other resized png images, most will do that.  I've even seen some resized png images mangle the color assignments.  It's a limitation of the image rendering done by the wiki software, and is a problem that has been known for a long time (this is a large part of the reason that all skill icons are jpg and not png on the wiki).  An add-in exists that can allow png images to display better, but it doesn't appear to have been installed on the wiki as yet.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:36, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * I just added this at Image talk:BlackDye.jpg; but the conversation is fragmented, so I'll post it here too:
 * Note #7 under "Rule of Thumb" in GW:IMAGE: 7. Use JPEG format for most images, PNG files do not scale well in this Wiki, and GIF files are usually of too low a quality.  This is the same reason that we use jpg for skill icons as those get resized in some uses. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 10:44, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well that sucks. :( I'll fix up the jpgs so they look better, but it might be a couple of days away. Christmas time is.. ARGH! I decided I'm doing the table setting and it ended up costing a lot more than I thought and two of the things I couldn't buy so I'm making them. :S That's me, always over-zealous. Well, at least the .pngs are nice for userpages with coloured backgrounds. That's why I made them. :/ - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 01:28, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Your Userspace Table

 * You're not the first to use it ;-)  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:14, 5 December 2006 (CST)

 * Yeah but you don't see them that much, they're mostly hanging around guys with userspace tables! :P --Xasxas256 16:30, 6 December 2006 (CST)
 * You know, that's probably why I'm here. It's so powerful it's subconcious. Oh god save me. D: - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 22:04, 6 December 2006 (CST)
