User talk:Toomai/Archive 7

Toomai, you know the Smash Arena? I've noticed that when voting is in progress, The "Winner" picure at the top is blank other than the word "Undecided 0-0". I was wondering if you could make it so that Smash Arena will show the current score and the picture of who is winning. It would be a help if you're in a rush. Thanks, Meta Ike 10:54, 3 March 2012 (EST)

I doubt Toomai could do that unless he checks the Smash Arena every few seconds. Accoolx (talk) 10:57, 3 March 2012 (EST)

This was suggested before and didn't get far. There's a bunch of reasons why it's a bad idea:

Doubles the number of edits required to keep things up to date.
Updating the score may edit conflict with people who want to vote.
Possibility of bias towards leader is increased.

In addition, the reason you give of "be a help if you're in a rush" makes no sense the way you're worded it. How does a 2500% increase in maintenance help me if I'm busy? Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 11:54, 3 March 2012 (EST)

It would at least be nice to stuff an image like this

in there, rather than just blank space. lol 48,955 bytes Toast

12:45, 3 March 2012 (EST)

That's not a bad idea. I'll think about it. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 12:47, 3 March 2012 (EST)

I suggest to do this: "Currently Winning:<winner> ##-##. This is a modification of MetaIke's suggestion. One more note bring this to a forum. Anyways we can get a willing person (possibly me, but I have high school work) to watch that. Maybe on a daily basis, not hourly. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 22:03, 5 March 2012 (EST)

I still fail to see how the base concept improves the arena in a meaningful way. Toomai Glittershine The Spark 22:56, 5 March 2012 (EST)

Redirect

You deleted Rugia, but we have JP-name redirects, for example Dogars and Kabigon. Accoolx (talk) 18:52, 3 March 2012 (EST)

So, uh, does this mean I can create it again? Accoolx (talk) 19:03, 3 March 2012 (EST)

I didn't realize that. I'll undelete it. Toomai Glittershine The Non-Toxic 19:06, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Mr. Curious

Can I just delete all the posts made by Curious on my user talk, and any additional he'd make in the future? Unknown the Hedgehog 19:02, 5 March 2012 (EST)

I guess there's nothing wrong with removing future ones. Past ones however should probably remain. Toomai Glittershine The Chilled 19:12, 5 March 2012 (EST)

Ok. Btw, perhaps protecting both the article itself and the talk page is in order for the CrappyCaptureDevice page. Unknown the Hedgehog 19:19, 5 March 2012 (EST)

I don't believe that's necessary at this time, but we shall see. Toomai Glittershine The Labbie 19:22, 5 March 2012 (EST)

Flags in Smasherbeta

Hi Toomai. Is it possible to include a border around the flags in Template:Smasherbeta? Some flags, such as this one would display more distinctly with a border. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 19:43, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Yeah there was a discussion on IRC about that. I have an idea or two but for now I'm going to leave it alone. Toomai Glittershine The Labbie 19:44, 7 March 2012 (EST)

I found a feature that automatically adds faint borders to images. I implemented it for the Japanese flag; it can be given to other flags in the future if necessary. Toomai Glittershine The Awesome 20:38, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Speedy-delete

Hey, Toomai. Could you please delete Whatever.png? Thanks. MeleeMarth01 18:25, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

You didn't have to tell me here, I saw it on the recent changes. Toomai Glittershine The Inconceivable 18:26, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Userboxes

Are you the one I'm suppost to ask if I need help with userboxes? Smash Master 20:54, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Merged accounts

Why did you merge the Tοomai account to The Impersonator Account? And why did you delete the Tοomai account?--217.13.197.5 13:56, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

It was an impersonation account, created by a repeat vandal. Omega Tyrant 14:08, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

How about if the wikia staff accounts are merged? If they are merged then what happends?--176.31.108.212 15:02, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

This isn't Wikia, and merging staff accounts would be no different than a regular merge. Toomai Glittershine The Superlative 16:08, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

Brawl?

Prepare yourself. Mr. Anon talk 13:08, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Should I host I reserve the right to end matches due to severe lag that may or may not exist. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 13:32, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Pokemon name redirects

Should I make a redirect for every Pokemon because of their Japanese name? Or is that unreasonable? MeleeMarth01 19:00, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

There are american brawl players in japan. I suggest so, if necessary. LightningBlue: Music is Power 19:11, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Well, if most have them but some don't, then by all means fill them out. Toomai Glittershine The Celeritous 19:18, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Thanks. That'll be my newest project; anyone is free to help out. I just wanted to check w/an admin on those matters. MeleeMarth01 19:21, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Infobox

I noticed I was unable to edit the caption for the infobox picture of Shadow Ball. All that was shown is "Shadow Ball". Do you know if this is cause by the formatting of the template? LightningBlue: Music is Power 20:46, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Cannot reproduce problem. Can you be more specific with what you were doing? Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 20:48, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Editing Shadow Ball the caption for the image in the infobox. LightningBlue: Music is Power 20:50, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Were you changing the |250px|Shadow Ball]] text or the |caption=Shadow Ball. text? Toomai Glittershine The Interspacial 20:52, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh didn't know there was a caption= section to the infobox. Gonna fix it later. LightningBlue: Music is Power 21:41, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

A new name

In the Admin Noticboard, you said you could change my name. I have decided on it: "Delta Hawk". Mostly because I main Falco. Thank you! Meta Ike 16:21, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

DON'T DO THE ABOVE COMMENT! yet. I may or may not main Lucas. Hold on. Meta Ike 17:41, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

I personally suggest that you not take a user name based on something that is likely to change at an unspecified point in the future. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 18:45, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I know. That's why I had to change my user name in the first place. Meta Ike 21:47, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

When replying directly to a comment, input +1 colons the comment you're replying to has before your comment to indent it properly. Per Toomai, never use a username based on a character you main, when you don't have a consistent and clear main. Omega Tyrant 21:55, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

Following your and OT's advice, I have finally come up with a sufficient username:"Ryan". I know that wont change in the future. (I have no plans to change my name.) Meta Ike 10:51, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Glitch?

Hey, Toomai. I was just playing Classic Mode with Link in Brawl. Master Hand had 15 HP left an used Background Jet. I then hit him with my Dair, which put him at 0 HP. However, he didn't die right away; he started his dying animation after the animation for him ending the attack ended. Has this happened before? Is this a glitch?

Kind regards, Melee Marth 01. 19:54, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Not unusual at all, a few bosses have to finish whatever they're doing before they can die (e.g. if Porky is in the air he has to land before dying). Jet Stream is just one of the more obvious cases. Toomai Glittershine The Frivolous 20:16, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Interesting. ~~So is this a glitch? And if so,~~ Is there an article about it?

Kind regards, Melee Marth 01. 19:10, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Two things...

Hello, Toomai.

First off, I would like to thank you for contributing so much to SmashWiki and staying loyal to it after its move.

Secondly, could you please rename me DarkFox01? I now have a solid main in Fox, and I already changed my preferences for this.

Thank you! Dark Fox 01 17:41, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, Toomai. You're very kind. Dark Fox 01 12:42, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

An impersonator

I think i saw the impersonator 0mega tyrant. Would you merge that account into the The Impersonator Account please?--75.142.67.97 18:42, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

That guy was banned a while ago, and the impersonator account isn't used anymore. BlindCol ours 19:44, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

Name

First of all, thank you for letting me be renamed.

Now, I figured out what I want to get named:Ryan. Then, no matter how much I switch, Itll still be correct who my main is.

thank you! Meta Ike 11:14, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

CCD will Kick your Ass

You are not the boss of CCD. It's his article and CCD has no right for it to be protected. Now either unprotect it here and there or have CCD kick your ass outta here.

Could you change my name?

I've been using my current username across various sites for four years, and I've grown to dislike my current username. Could you change my username to "Air Conditioner" (a pun on my initials)? Thank you. Accool X File:Accoolx.png 20:49, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Could you please go ahead with the namechange? Accool X File:Accoolx.png 18:08, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

To clarify, do you want Air Conditioner, or just Air Con? I would opt for the latter, it's easier to type, makes for less characters in a signature, and is much better for IRC. Toast

ltimatum

18:43, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

Air Conditioner. AirCon is just for IRC. For example, sometimes you just use Toast on IRC instead of ToastUltimatum, right? Accool X File:Accoolx.png 19:28, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

Help w/an image

Hey, Toomai. I could use a little help with editing TabuuWhipGlitch.png. I'm having trouble re-uploading it with the changes I made (eliminating the YouTube bar at the bottom). Could you please help out?

Kind regards, Dark Fox 01 23:57, 26 May 2012 (EDT).

Re-uploading images can be a slow process. It seems to have updated itself by the time I read this. Toomai Glittershine The Inconceivable 09:07, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

Got it. Now I know what to do next time so this dosen't happen again XD. Dark Fox 01 13:04, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

Verification request

Hey Toomai, in the knockback page, it says that 1 stage builder block per second is a speed of 183.333 (so on). May you please verify that?--Bandit 22:25, 28 June 2012 (EDT)

I fixed it. One stage builder block is 20 units, so covering it in one second (60 frames) means a speed of 1/3 units per frame, which converts to a knockback of 10. (Note that you won't get that far because of slowing down, but that's besides the point.) Toomai Glittershine The Chronicler 00:09, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

Thank you.--Bandit 06:09, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

Possible New Forum?

Hello, Toomai! I just have a question regarding a possible new forum.

As you know, pages either have links to a video or use the YouTube template. Both are commonly used, and I want to help format this wiki and make it better by only using one or the other.

My questions:

Should we mae the forum?
Who can make it if we decide to?

Thank you! DarkFox01, E T C. 23:03, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

The idea is now under User:DarkFox01/New Forum Idea. DarkFox01, E T C. 23:07, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

Hay

Hey Toomai, I need to get into contact with you because I'm banned on #sw. It's an odd ban and I'd like to discuss it with you on #dk if possible.--Shwido ^.^ 10:13, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

deleting

Can you also delete the images that were marked for speedy deletion? Dots You can call me Pollyanna 14:17, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

DISPLAYTITLE

I've been forced to do these because my account isn't four days old yet and I can't change page names (and that's the same reason I have to go through the CAPTCHA page every edit). Sorry for the inconvinience. Naked Snake 10:37, 8 July 2012 (EDT)

Change my name!

I'm back since forever, and since I'm now high on Pokemon, can you change my name to "Typhlosion of Darkness"? King KirbyD 23:25, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Redirects

Can I ask you why you deleted the redirects for "Capt. Falcon"? It's not like it's random or weird or anything. "Capt." is a common appreviation for "Captain". I don't see why you would delete it. Chuck Norris 21:17, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

They're unused and unlikely to be searched for. We don't need redirects for everything. Toomai Glittershine The Non-Toxic 21:19, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Bytes

How can you check how many bytes are on a page since it does not show anymore on the history of the page? Dots The Hammer (bro) 17:31, 23 July 2012 (EDT)

You now have to hover the cursor on the (+47) part of the history; the bytes count will appear in the tooltip. Toomai Glittershine The Producer 17:53, 23 July 2012 (EDT)

Userbox

Hello Toomai it's a honor to meet you. I was wondering if you could tell me how to make userboxes or redirect me to a page were it tells you how to make one. Headmaster Hand (talk) 00:17, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

The {{Userbox}} page has some instructions on it. You can also copy other peoples' userboxes and fool around with them (just make sure you don't accidentally save these test edits). Toomai Glittershine The Inconceivable 10:31, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

You could use my userboxes as an good example so go to User:Dots/Userboxes as an example and to see the format of them. :P Dots The PSI Asian 10:42, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

Oh so, you mean something like this? {{Userbox|red|white|border-color=yellow|[[Image:OlimarIcon(SSBB).png|50px]]|info-color=purple|This user has many friends.}} Headmaster Hand (talk) 16:32, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Yeah you have it going right. Toomai Glittershine The Breegull 16:36, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Appreciation

Toomai, I'd like to take this time to give my formal appreciation for the work you do for this wiki. Not only are you here every day to help maintain the wiki, but you must spend a fair amount of time working on Smash Arena, thinking up creative fights (you never disappoint me). Again, I don't know what this wiki could do without you. Thank you, Toomai. Mr. Anon talk 23:59, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

I'll like to resonate with the post above, for being the only other admin around that's actually a positive influence on the Wiki's progress. Omega Tyrant 19:53, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

hey

We should chat sometime. – Emmett 21:31, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

About Character Icons

I was wondering how you accessed the character heads for all three games. Did you upload the sprites for them or are they on the dojo? I was thinking of adding the icons for Uprising weapons on Icaruspedia. LightningBlue 02:06, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

I don't think it's possible yet to access 3DS files, though I haven't looked to see how far people have gotten. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 09:27, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

3DS Files? What are those? LightningBlue 22:00, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

All the character head icons here are taken directly from the game files. Doing this requires the ability to extract the files from the game in some way, which I don't think we can do with the 3DS as of this time. Toomai Glittershine The Honcho 22:06, 3 September 2012 (EDT)
