Hi

We typically do not put trophy data on universe pages outside of a gallery of them. Please be aware of that. Thanks! Serpent King 23:03, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Hi there.

Please review SW:MOVE. Pretty much all page moves require consensus. Serpent King 00:56, 28 January 2016 (EST)

Quick note

Template:Smasher Infobox has a parameter called nnid you can use :P Serpent King 18:20, 7 February 2016 (EST)

I was wondering if you knew how to get the signature on my userpage actually set in preferences. I essentially plugged that stock icon in since it was futile. RobSir zx 21:08, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Well first of all, we have a rule about not using mainspace images in signatures, but you can reupload it as RobSir-sig.png or something. Second, yeah, all you should have to do is copy and paste the code (should be short enough). Alternatively, you can create a subpage in your userspace (User:RobSir zx/sig or something) and copy the code there. Then the preference line would be {{SUBST:User:RobSir zx/sig}} Serpent King 21:12, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Okay, thanks. I'll be sprucing up my page later RobSir zx 21:29, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Lazy Request

So I've uploaded some images for articles (mainly logos), but I have done nothing in terms of categorizing nor tagging them properly. So if someone were to be so incredibly kind and do that for me, that'd be great. I'll really owe you a solid. Will do my best to do it on my own in the future. Just click here. RobSir zx 00:25, 24 February 2016 (EST)

when welcoming users

use {{Subst:Welcome}} Poultry(talk) the Pumpkin Pie 20:07, 24 February 2016 (EST)

Ah thanks a million. RobSir zx 20:09, 24 February 2016 (EST)

Your RFR

Your first 2 examples seem fine, but that third one is definitely good faith. You got other examples to use in its place? Also, I helped you out in the formatting department (which technically, I am not supposed to do...) so yeah, good luck and all :D Serpent King 06:18, 1 March 2016 (EST)

Alright, thanks man. I think I got a good chance. Good luck to the others going for it, too. By the way, Toomai makes all the decisions there, right? RobSir zx 08:02, 1 March 2016 (EST)

Yep. Serpent King 08:06, 1 March 2016 (EST)

That new example is also definitely not a reversion of vandalism. Remember, it doesn't have to be a reversion of multiple edits. Serpent King 08:33, 1 March 2016 (EST)

Challonge

Account created, SmashMaster09. Smash Master 17:38, 10 March 2016 (EST)

I thought you could sign up yourself with this link. If I doesn't work I'll add players myself. RobSir zx 17:44, 10 March 2016 (EST)

It works, I just added myself. BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 17:47, 10 March 2016 (EST)

IRC

The tourney's starting soon; wanna hop on the IRC so we can communicate? BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 19:51, 11 March 2016 (EST)

Sure, but I think Challonge has a chat as well. RobSir zx 19:52, 11 March 2016 (EST)

SW:SIG/external link from SmashWiki

You can not link external links with your signature. However, The sound file you linked is on SmashWiki (not a page on Smash), so it may not count as an external link. -- Ethan(Discussion) 22:04, 12 March 2016 (EST)

Hopefully this does not go against that policy, it is sort of an easter egg. It's just an .ogg file that is not in any way external. RobSir zx 01:28, 13 March 2016 (EST)

I don't see a problem with it, you're fine. Serpent King 01:30, 13 March 2016 (EST)

Cool, I was thinking of doing it before but I thought it may be prohibited. -- Ethan(Discussion) 14:15, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

The new did you know

I don't understand Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 19:57, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

Imagine you're on for glory, and you play as mario. Your opponent plays as mario, too. Next match, you play as mario, but he plays as Luigi. Then he plays as peach, and so on, until all 58 characters are played against mario. After that, you finally decided to play as Luigi, and your opponent plays as every character besides Mario again. Actually, that's a bad example considering Mii's are banned on for glory, but I hope it still makes sense. RobSir zx 20:56, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

I understand now, thank you. Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 21:19, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

Sound Files in SSB4

I am going to start uploading some sound files from Sm4sh for various articles. However, while sometimes universal, many sounds are different or slightly altered from previous smash games. It really isn't an issue if the at least sounds similar, I guess. There is also a surprising mount of unused sounds in the game, it at least came as a surprise to me. RobSir zx 22:07, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

...What sounds are you getting? 98.9% of the sounds in the franchise are unnecessary and/or overkill. Disaster Flare (talk) 22:11, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

It's hard for a few KBs of data to be overkill in any circumstance in my own opinion. Mainly, the effect articles would greatly benefit from them. I don't intend to go crazy, kinda just testing the water. Although I have already run into complications since all of the attack hitsounds have several very minor variations of each other. RobSir zx 22:42, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

I was hoping someone could give me translations of this Japanese from raw in-game soundfiles, google doesn't recognize them at all (thanks google translate): Hoshikie, Doyomeki, Hakusyu, Kansei. There is more but this is what is relevant to me right now. RobSir zx 22:42, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

A few KBs or not, we are not TSR, we don't keep audio files on everything, just as we don't have every sprite or texture the games have to offer. Serpent King 22:45, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Please don't overreact. Only doing effect-related hitsounds (minus the star ko sound I just put up; guess that is unnecessary). Here is a pretty stupid example but I hope it gets the point across: *reading the Slash article* "Oh, Judge #4 is a slash attack? It's a freaking hammer, not a sword. I don't think so..." *listens to hitsound and subconsciously remembers since sounds are directly linked to most effects* "Oh, it is a slash attack, my b." The reasoning for having these sound files uploaded isn't limited to this example by any means, I hope it is understandable why I am doing this now. RobSir zx 23:00, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

I am trying to tell you that inclusion of such sounds is something that needs consensus from our community. If you want to go through with it, please make a forum discussion first and try to gather a consensus. Serpent King 23:02, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Just wanna point out

I'd advise against using the welcome template for IPs. The point is to try to convince them to create an account if they're good faith. Using the welcome template on them kinda defeats the purpose. Penro's currently working on a version for IPs. Disaster Flare (talk) 13:10, 31 March 2016 (EDT)

Ok, cool. He seems to be good faith for helping so much with Bidou. RobSir zx 14:24, 31 March 2016 (EDT)

Ask and ye shall receive

As requested, I have compiled all of the Smash @ Xanadu tournament results, and I will be finalizing the edit as soon as I am finished typing this. I am glad to be of service. CpnFlacon (talk) 20:48, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Help

I just uploaded a new version of File:SourceGaming-logo.jpg, but it is simply the same image enlarged. What have I done wrong? RobSir zx 01:46, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Refresh the page when you're looking at the image. Disaster Flare (talk) 01:48, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

K thanks. RobSir zx 01:54, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Thanks

for rewriting the whole welcomeIP template thing. Penro 20:20, 28 April 2016 (EDT)

Greetings fellow Sm4sh modder

so i herdz u got in to wii u hacking. Maybe message me to see what mods I can do as well? I've already replaced several music tracks, added uncensored costumes for Corrin and Bayonetta, added a costume for Mega Man, and enabled all stages in 8 player smash (though i couldn't reenable hazards, yet). - EndGenuity (talk) 08:15, 20 May 2016 (EDT)

Well I'd love to but SW:TALK is a thing. Are you in the wiiuhacks discord? RobSir zx 03:37, 24 May 2016 (EDT)

No I am not. And yes, I am wondering if this violates policy. (i hope not) EndGenuity (talk) 14:23, 24 May 2016 (EDT)

The Userbox Conspiracy

I know I screwed up your userbox, but how do I fix it? Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 00:27, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

I can fix it for you if you like, you just made some typos. (Which, I'm kinda confused about. Please don't tell me you typed all that out rather than just copy + paste) RobSir zx 00:34, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, go ahead. and I copy-pasted Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 00:35, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

I never forget to say...Thank you Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 00:41, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Regarding page moves.

In the event you wish to move a page on top of a page that acts as a redirect, it's generally preferred that you contact an admin about it, as they can delete the redirect, then move the page to the new location; we try to do it this way because it preserves the page history, which can potentially come in handy for some users. Cutting and pasting text onto a new page rids of us of the page history, hence why we should avoid it (a similar system exists for talk pages precisely for this reason).

Skål.

Hitbox images

Where are you getting the hitbox images from? Or did you make them? Either way, they're way better than the ones Furil makes. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 16:47, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

I am making them with a program known as smash forge https://github.com/jam1garner/Smash-Forge/releases. And while the quality of the program is great, it still is getting updated and it has some issues with things like animations. (Duck hunt is broken, and falco had no hands since it looked terrible with them visible.) RobSir zx 17:31, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

You may have been planning on doing this anyway, but it would be great if once you get all the hitbox gifs for a fighter, that you make a page with all of them, like with the melee hitbox pages. I'd really like to see those. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 14:28, 25 July 2017 (EDT)

The switch logo

What do you plan on using it on? Since Smash isn't featured on the switch as of yet, we do not need an article on the console. Meaning that the logo is useless unless you plan on using it as a user image. Serpent King 01:53, 7 August 2017 (EDT)

Yes, treat it as a user image for now please. Just about done with a draft. RobSir zx 01:54, 7 August 2017 (EDT)
