WelcomeEdit

Hi, welcome to Dead Island Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Baseball Bat page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- IDave Ja Vu (Talk) 20:17, 7 September 2011

Sorry dude, i was in the middle of a major edit to the mods page. I think I undid the templates you created as i Just added a whole bunch of them, Please check it out again if you dont mind. And again sorry. Monster Mark 23:20, September 13, 2011 (UTC)Monster Mark

yea i took care of it. thanks for letting me know

Jgjake2 23:35, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Question Edit

Hey i seen you undid it since it out of whack. I was just wondering what layout you use for the site? Oasis or monobook? Gracey91 ✉ 12:45, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

I haven't a clue. I am just an active member of the wiki. That would be a question for First Tiger Hobbes. I think i fixed the front page if you wanna have a look.

Jgjake2

Yeah that looks better and i think thats what the original author was going for. Additionally you are the only one who knows what layout you use. Oasis is a modern looking site and monobook is more like wikipedia or any other WMF wiki. Gracey91 ✉ 12:51, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Jgjake2 19:52, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

that was refreshingly cordial. Thank you. Nocrosshairs 20:03, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Resort Map Edit

The resort map is pretty awesome, but do we really need a larger one? --Saphireking65 14:23, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

well it is kind of difficult to see since everything is so scrunched up. The code for the large one is just a reference to the small one with a parameter change so i thought "why not?". Plus the large one can open into a popup with all the overlays while the first one cant.

Jgjake2 14:32, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

I'm doing something wrong? Edit

Hi!

I saw that you edit most of the articles after i edit them, so i suppose i'm doing something wrong :/ If you could tell me what is it, i could avoid doing it, so you don't have to edit it afterwards.

Thanks in advance.Best Regards.

GamersGonnaPlay 21:56, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

I am just editing the links on the ID cards pages. The template is setup so whatever is between the "onlyinclude" tags can be dynamically used by other pages on the wiki; like the main ID Cards page and the Map Pages. However there cant be any links or quotation marks in the text, otherwise it breaks the hover capabilities (hover text cant have those things in it). But that is all i am editing. I just remove the quotations and add the following:

{{LinkIfNot|{{{hover|}}}|Link}}}

Sorry if i made it seem like your edits were wrong or something :) it is just a part of the template that i never bothered to explain to anyone.

Jgjake2 22:07, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, i see, i will try to do it that way then, thanks :)

GamersGonnaPlay 22:10, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Jgjake2, i didn't know that the template included a video gallery area, sorry about that, from now on i will add them that way.

Thanks Buddy!

GamersGonnaPlay 20:25, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oh no you have nothing to apologize for. I just now added the video gallery to the template because i saw how many videos you were adding and i wanted to move them above the footer. So it's my fault for not thinking of videos when i made the template

Number One Edit

Woo hoo, number one oh yeah! Four tildes, eeer I mean', Tim to the Adams 20:55, September 26, 2011 (UTC)'

RE:Syle Mods Edit

I put in the code for nav boxes and such and they should work now. If there is anything I forgot, let me know :)Romcombo^(Talk) 22:22, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

You are amazing! thank you! i am going to try it out now :)

Jgjake2 22:24, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I can't get the code for the sidebar to work..... If you know what I am doing wrong, go ahead and tell me as you should be able to view the code :) Romcombo^(Talk) 22:30, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I believe you probably know who to put in the navbox code and sidebar in templates. I probably can figure it out but I really don't feel good right now and am probably overlooking something. Romcombo^(Talk) 22:36, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I will fiddle with it for a while and I will let you know if anything in the common files needs to be changed. But if you aren't feeling good go take care of yourself. This isn't a pressing matter lol The world will go on without these templates

Take Care,

Jgjake2 22:41, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ok I think everything is fixed. The only thing that needs to be done is the following has to be added to the common css file:

.collapseButton {          /* 'show'/'hide' buttons created dynamically */
    /* @noflip */float: right;          /* by the CollapsibleTables javascript in    */
    font-weight: normal;   /* [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] are styled here   */
    /* @noflip */text-align: right;     /* so they can be customised.                */
    width: auto;
}
.navbox .collapseButton {  /* In navboxes, the show/hide button balances */
    width: 6em;            /* the vde links from [[Template:Navbar]],    */
}                          /* so they need to be the same width.         */

/* Standard Navigationsleisten, aka box hiding thingy
   from .de.  Documentation at [[Wikipedia:NavFrame]]. */
div.NavFrame {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4px;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    text-align: center;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    font-size: 95%;
}
div.NavFrame + div.NavFrame {
    border-top-style: none;
    border-top-style: hidden;
}
div.NavPic {
    background-color: #fff;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 2px;
    /* @noflip */float: left;
}
div.NavFrame div.NavHead {
    height: 1.6em;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-color: #ccf;
    position: relative;
}
div.NavFrame p,
div.NavFrame div.NavContent,
div.NavFrame div.NavContent p {
    font-size: 100%;
}
div.NavEnd {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    line-height: 1px;
    clear: both;
}
a.NavToggle {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    /* @noflip */right: 3px;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 90%;
}

Thanks again. Feel better soon.

Jgjake2 23:32, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I added it and it should be working now. I feel better now also, I think it is just my allergies acting up since the weather is changing.... I am also stressed about some other stuff so it isn't helping :) Romcombo^(Talk) 23:49, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome. I am working on a footer right now. And I know how you feel about the stress stuff. I have Physics II and Diff. Eq. on my plate so i totally understand stress.

Jgjake2 01:27, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

CatagoriesEdit

Sorry about the catagories, was trying to sort some and realized I was overlapping the info so I've starting breaking them down better and removed alot of the ones I had placed by mistake. I'm using the main description pages rather than the individual pages to link them together as a group rather than each alone. I'll have it all sorted out soon. Take care.Carinth 00:29, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I think I have the catagories sorted out on the pages I was working on. Sorry for the confusion, if I missed any or got any wrong just let me know, I'll get them sorted. Take care.Carinth 00:59, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Lol it's totally cool dude. It really wasn't that big of a deal. But thanks for sorting it out :)

Jgjake2 01:25, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Collapsible Tables Edit

Yeah that looks pretty good. Idk if it is my browser or not but the show/hide button sticks out :). Feel free to add that to any pages you wish and complete the documentation. Romcombo^(Talk) 20:55, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

The show hide thing has to do with the wiki's wikitable css (or i believe it does). It happens on all collapseable tables on this wiki. i will look into fixing it.

thanks for the quick response. Take care.

Jgjake2 21:59, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Job? Edit

you do this as a job?

Wah? No. I do this when i'm bored in class. I'm a programmer, but this semester I'm not taking any technical classes so working on this wiki is fun and keeps my brain from turning to mush :P

Jgjake2 21:44, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

CategoriesEdit

I guess I just hadn't thought of it at the time. Btw, I never added any tape recordings to the category. Either way, I went with what you said and added the "No Image" categories as sub-categories to Articles Without Images. Reversinator 22:06, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you. BTW, i've kinda been out of it the past few days studying for tests, is there anything you/the wiki needs help with?

i've been trying to figure out the algorithm the game uses to calculate weapon damage for various levels once generated with the following: GameFiles:Inventory_Gen.scr/Melee. But i cant quite figure it out. I wrote a program that analyzes the game's files, but i cant figure it out >:( i've used differentials and thrown a crap ton of data into mathamatica but the game's algorithm is a mystery to me. But if i could figure it out, i could make a program that generates pages with the stats of every weapon (approximately) at any level.

Rights Edit

Your request for adminship has been approved. Welcome to the team and congratulations :) Romcombo^(Talk) 19:45, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

awesome! thank you. I feel powerful >:D

Jgjake2 23:03, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

You do realise that if you wish to delete a page all you have to do is hit the down arrow and delete, but try to only do so if the community has decided so or it is off-topic/spam. If you have any questions message me :) Romcombo^(Talk) 03:00, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Well the only pages i have deleted are duplicates and pages accidentally posted on category pages (which themselves were duplicates). I'm avoiding pages that are still under debate. Also, I am hitting the down arrow and delete. Why? Am I doing it incorrectly? :(

jgjake2  talk  contr 03:06, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Nah, I was just asking because you commented on something with someone please delete this :P Also, is you sig under the tides thing or code?????. --Romcombo^(Talk) 21:06, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Oh crap i forgot to take out the comments! it should be a single line i just have the comments in the make it easier to edit. But yes it is under the tilde's thing.

Game FilesEdit

I've noticed on GameFiles:DICharacters.scr, half of the characters are missing from the list. Could I ask why they're not there? Reversinator 21:15, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Ah damn...It's just the massive size of the page. there are so many template substitutions that the server cant handle it. I will just have to break it into 2 or 3 pages. Or just remake the whole thing so it is less expensive. But thanks for letting me know it broke. It was working when i first made it :/

jgjake2  talk  contr 21:23, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, I've noticed a few characters on the list that I've never noticed in the game, like Adna, Agnes, Chong, Brad, Cliff, Daren, Claude, Andrew, and Andy. Do you know who these people are? There are also the "Anarchists", who are those guys? Reversinator 11:11, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

I'm willing to bet they are characters created for future DLCs. There are a lot of things in the game's files that are there to prepare for future DLCs, like Ryder who will be a future playable character (based on what i can see in the game's files).

AchievementsEdit

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I think your achievement point count went down. On my screen, it shows that you have 2190 points, but you used to have 2550 points, right? Do you know what happened? Reversinator 23:11, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Huh, thats weird? oh well. It looks like you're #1 :D congrats

jgjake2  talk  contr 23:23, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

I think I would accept the congrats more if I actually passed you instead of some sort of glitch putting me in first. Reversinator 23:34, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Lol well the only reason I have that many points is because of all the templating I did.

That reminds me, I was looking through the request for rights submissions and I noticed your application was absent. Any particular reason why the #1 editor (or #2 depending on how you look at it :P ) on this wiki doesn't want Admin rights?

jgjake2  talk  contr 23:47, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

I've only been here less than a month. Shouldn't I wait a little bit longer before requesting rights? Reversinator 23:59, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well I don't think length of time really matters; the amount of work put in is what matters.

jgjake2  talk  contr 00:06, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

If you think so, I'll request for admin rights and see what others think. Reversinator 00:17, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

ImagesEdit

Some of the Map Numbers that you've uploaded aren't currently being used. Would you mind going through them and see which ones should be deleted? Reversinator 16:34, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to bother, but you never responded to me about this, and all the unused map numbers are still here. If they're not supposed to be deleted, could you at least tell me why? Reversinator 19:20, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I never saw this message. I have been planning on adding more maps for things like quests, locations, etc...which would use the numbers. I have just been too busy on other projects to get around to it.

jgjake2  talk  contr 19:56, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Here's a similar matter; as you can see at this link, there's a whole pile of unused templates, and almost all of these unused templates were created by you. Are these templates going to be used for a future project like your map images? -Reversinator

A lot of them are used, they just don't get recognized because the templates that use them use conditional transclusion. But some are indeed abandoned projects that I forgot about, and I will go through and clean that up. But there are quite a few templates that I don't use inside templates or pages (like loop15); I use them to generate content which I then copy and paste onto the page I am making.

I will look over them and clean up my mess this weekend

jgjake2  talk  contr 21:48, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Edit

Sorry I haven't been around recently, I have been having some computer issues (ugh). I wanted to remind you that when you block someone you need to use the block template on their talk page, especially if it is a more active user. Thanks, and If you need anything let me know :) Romcombo^(Talk) 02:57, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Template:ExistsEdit

Sorry to bother you, but something's been bugging me. According to this page, the template that I linked above has a link for "Police Baton", an article that doesn't exist. I want to remove the link to Police Baton, but there isn't an actual link to it. You know why it's showing that? Reversinator 03:04, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Both of those pages only link to the page if it exists, so i am assuming if you deleted it then if may just take a while for some cron jobs to clean it out. I could be wrong, but give it a while and it should fix itself. How long ago did you delete it?

jgjake2  talk  contr 03:15, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I never deleted it. I'm pretty sure the template linked to Police Baton since October. Reversinator 03:19, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well I just purged the pages and one of them went away. Give it another minute and the other should go away as well.

jgjake2  talk  contr 03:23, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Could I ask how do you purge special pages? There's a lot that I know about wikis, but there's still stuff I don't know. Reversinator 03:29, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

add "&action=purge" to any page and it will be purged. But it has to be the local url of the page (like with "index.php?title=blablabla") the easy way to do this is just click the edit button and replace "&action=edit" with "&action=purge".

GameFiles:Inventory Gen.scr/Melee Edit

Hello,

My name is Tim, I've been reviewing some of Wikia's logs lately and we've noticed an issue with GameFiles:Inventory Gen.scr/Melee. This page is so long (900,000 bytes) that our server is often failing to load the page in question. Obviously this is not good behaviour for your users nor is it for our servers since it's trying to render this page.

Is there any way you could please split the page up or otherwise help bring it down to a manageable size (anything above 100,000 bytes is large, when you get above 250,000 bytes you start to get these timeouts). Thanks in advance for your cooperation on this! --daNASCAT 20:49, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Chatango module Edit

HI Jgjake, I noticed that you are using chatango on the side rail of your wiki. This actually violates our terms of use, since it is modifying the right rail. Could you please remove this? We now have our own chat feature which you can enable in Wiki features. Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:14, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Make fork of popup-script for our wikia, maybe? I'm wayting reply from wikia support. For Debugging see this RU / Skyrim_Map East

About this error in firebug says jquery.min.js line 1300

— User:Set440

This is WRONG! —

balloonType.tBalloonLink = unescape(tBalloon.id.replace('\.', '%'));

This better:

balloonType.tBalloonLink = unescape(tBalloon.id.split('.').join('%'));

Elderscrolls popup-scripts license Edit

Egineer from wikia says: I can not click any of the items in the map, but that appears to be because of Access-Control-Allow-Origin policies that most browsers now have in place to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS). You will probably have to port the necessary JS and pages over to your wiki directly instead of trying to embed them from other sites in order for the map to function as desired.

You allow me to make a copy? What license your scripts? We don't want to pester you.
