Robot Hat Trivia

Heyo, Gonna throw this out there but. Robots wearing a specific hat doesn't classify as trivia. Robots are pretty much bots. Anyone on a custom mission can put whatever hat they want on any robot. Also its not trivia material in the matter. It fits more under "Notes" than trivia. Ashes (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2014 (PDT)

A lot of articles that I've seen have robots in the trivia section, so I just used these articles and implemented into others. Do you wish I put those informations into "Notes"? (Just like the old Bolt Boy?) Thanks for your attention. Gabrielwoj (talk) 06:34, 7 April 2014 (PDT)

Done. I've moved all the old trivia about robots to a new section "Notes". I'm sorry if I've made it wrong, I just followed up pages that already had robots content, most of those pages were marked as "Trivia", and I've only seen the Bolt Boy as Notes. I've chosen the Trivia section, since there was more pages with it rather than the notes. Future edits about the headgears worn by robots will be added to the Notes. Gabrielwoj (talk) 06:52, 7 April 2014 (PDT)

Yeah, whoever added them as trivia messed up. Notes would have been better anyways. Ashes (talk) 07:06, 7 April 2014 (PDT)

Ok. Thanks for your help and attention to those pages. Gabrielwoj (talk) 07:14, 7 April 2014 (PDT)

Steam ids

Steam ids do not *magically* work. You have to add them to the id list here. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 17:11, 19 April 2014 (PDT)

Haven't you read what I've posted on the Ashes page? I already know that. The bot was taking too much to push. The bot finally pushed around 2 or 3 days ago, but now it's having problems with all the steam id dictionaries (check any page with a contributor). Gabrielwoj (talk) 17:16, 19 April 2014 (PDT)

Even though, thanks for the attention. Gabrielwoj (talk) 17:24, 19 April 2014 (PDT)

You're doing the inverse then? Hahah, awesome mate. We might get at the middle in the same time (might). Also, I would like to edit the All Class ones, there is plenty of items though. Gabrielwoj (talk) 07:42, 1 May 2014 (PDT)

Cheers for adding my name to the project helpers. I've done most of the All-Class hats, but some still need doing. .kool (talk) 10:45, 2 May 2014 (PDT)

Yep I've seen it. No problem, I'm glad that more people is updating the pages for cosmetic items link. No rushin' about the all classes. I'm going to check all the items, even the ones that were edited, just to be sure if everything is ok! Gabrielwoj (talk) 10:47, 2 May 2014 (PDT)

I've changed all All-Class hats and miscs to Cosmetic Items. .kool (talk) 11:22, 3 May 2014 (PDT)

Ok thanks, I'll still check if everything is right! Thank you. Gabrielwoj (talk) 14:11, 3 May 2014 (PDT)

Overlinking

Apologies for my ignorance but I was wondering what overlinking is. --Atf412 (talk) 08:30, 28 May 2014 (PDT)

For example: "The Last Breath is a cosmetic item for the Pyro. When worn, the Pyro will have a skull-shaped head." It's having 2 of the same link in a very close area. However, sometimes, external links/see also doesn't count as overlinks (See Bolt Boy, the Bonk Boy is being mentioned above as the normal cosmetic item that was based upon to, and the see also has the Bonk Boy again). But, one of the most overlinks is when a page has a item set, and the external link/see also has the links for each item of the set (with the exception of the page you're currently in). The external link and the item set table is really too close and adding each of the items in the external links is not necessary. ([Example]). No problem to ask, I'm fine with that. :) Gabrielwoj (talk) 08:44, 28 May 2014 (PDT)

Welcoming New Users

Heyo, Although we appreciate that you are welcoming new users, perhaps you may want to tone down on that, especially on new users that have no contributions. Reason is, I just saw that you welcomed a "new user" that turned out to be a spam account. So try to only welcome users that are "actively" editing rather than just making an account and lurking. Ashes (talk) 00:06, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

Alright, so only users with at least 1 contribution? (EDIT: And sorry for that). ▪ - 07:33, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

I have another question. Is it ok I welcome a person that registered 2 years ago but came back only now? I welcomed Special:Contributions/Drake3011 recently. ▪ - 07:40, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

Assuming they don't know the guidelines and other things after 2 years go for it. But if they do, Don't bother. Ashes (talk) 12:31, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

But they don't have any welcome description on their talk pages (not even the talk page was created on that user). I thought they didn't knew about it, as nobody welcomed the target user. ▪ - 13:09, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

You don't have to be welcomed to see the policies. We have links as well on the main page. (On a side note, I took a 2 year hiatus from the wiki and came back editing, never got a welcome. (Nor do i need one)) So keep that in mind. Ashes (talk) 13:23, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

Well, alright, I'll stick only to people that recently came to the wiki / has only 1 contribution. Thanks. ▪ - 13:25, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

Sorry

Hey, its me, gsilverleaf. Sorry for messing up the Congo page. I wasn't sure to put it in the action slot category or the new taunts slot. But there is no page for it as I see. I'll try to use preview button more often. Again sorry.

Alright. You tried to edit something that a template is already defined to. Someone needs to edit the template (and if it's an important thing to put) to support action taunts 1-8. Also, please sign your comment in Discussion and Talk pages using ~~~~. ▪ - 21:07, 23 June 2014 (PDT)

Are we allowed to edit qualities?

like, if there was a unique quality on a hat on the wiki, could I add another quality or change the existing quality? Insolemn (talk) 19:39, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

Talk page stalker</stalker> You may want to be more specific on this question as I don't understand what you're asking. Ashes (talk) 19:42, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

Each item has the quality added in a complex template. True qualities of the item is shown on the page, like Vintage Whiskered Gentleman and Unique Whiskered Gentleman. "Glitched" qualities shouldn't be on the page, like a Vintage Bill's. ▪ - 19:48, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

oh, thanks! i actually was going to add a vintage quality to the bills, xD Insolemn (talk) 20:17, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

Question.

Greetings, mate.
Well, I seen your user page, and... it's beautiful. I'm wondering if you can teach me someting.
On your page, there's your Soldier. My question is: how did you do to have your Soldier like this (transparent background, you know, with all his cosmetic items, etc) ? I'd really like to have mine like this.

Thanks a lot, mate. Scher2o 10:01, 17 July 2014 (PDT)

I've made on HLMV. I was planing to do a tutorial video for how doing the paint gallery stuff,but I think explaining to you right now doesn't hurt.
You'll need: Source SDK, TF2 Installed, GCFScape and GIMP (I use 2.6.12)
1. Download Source SDK on Steam (and Team Fortress 2);
2. After downloaded, head to Steam/steamapps/Common/Team Fortress 2/bin/;
3. Open dxsupport.cfg (Open with Notepad);
4. Follow this Tutorial for how configure the dxsupport;
5. Get the fire overlay removal, read the information here: Help:HLMV#Program_limitations;
6. After everything done, open GCFScape and extract the models you want. For soldier, cosmetic items are in (materials->models->player->items->soldier), cosmetic items added in recent updats are in (materials->models->workshop->player->items->soldier->...);
6.1. You need to extract the textures (tf2_textures_dir.vpk), the materials and models (both on tf2_misc_dir.vpk);
7. After you finished that part, you open HLMV;
8. Go on the file tab, and "Load Model";
9. Load Soldier model (I suggest you load the HWM version);
10. On the bottom, go to "Sequence" and select an animation;
11. If you want to put cosmetics, weapons and such, go on the tab above and click "Load Weapon" (Weapon is any model, not necessary weapons on the game);
11.1. (Some items have no $color2 on the .vmt, so you'll need to put manually the $color2 the same as the $colortint_base), then save this .vmt in the custom folder of your TF2;
12. After loading everything, you can Shift + Left Click to move the character, using Right Click to zoom in, going on the corner of the image (until a yellow circle appears) to rotate the character. Control + Click to change the lighting.
13. You can edit the facial flex, this part may take a while to do;
14. Print screen HLMV (taking screenshot via the program does not work);
15. Open GIMP;
16. Open the screenshot or just copy and paste;
17. Go on the layers, and right click. Apply "ALPHA MASK" to the image;
18. Click on Fuzzy Select Tool (fourth icon), and put Feather edges: 2.0, and Threshold: 0.0;
19. Click on the background (watch out for backgrounds that are in arms or other places);
20. Go Select and click "Grow";
21. Type "1" and okay;
22. On the toolbar of the right, go on Paths (third icon);
23. Click "Selection to path" below (sixth icon on the bottom);
24. Double click the path above;
25. Now click the fifth icon on the bottom (path to selection);
26. Finally, Control+X;
27. Check if it's everything right;
28. Now, with the first item on the toolbox, click on the rectangle select tool;
29. Select the area that the character is;
30. Go on image tab and click on Crop Image;
31. Go on image tab again and click "autocrop" image;
32. Save as a .png file;
33. Finish.
If you still need help, add me on steam, I can help you. Good luck! ▪ - 10:18, 17 July 2014 (PDT)

A lot of this is unnecessary. You don't need Source SDK, it's literally not used for anything, all the files you need come with TF2. You don't need to extract anything other than the VMTs if the item has paint, you can just load stuff through the "(Steam) Load Model" or "(Steam) Load Weapon" options, and just create any folders you need in the models folder in the tf folder, or in the models folder in another folder in the custom folder. Extracting all the files is an utterly needless step and just bloats your filesystem. A lot of the steps regarding setting up TF2 and everything can be skipped by using TFMV as well. It does all of the loading files and sorting out paint for you. --Omolong (talk) 10:28, 17 July 2014 (PDT)

I'm explaining what I do, because for me, Load Steam Model doesn't work. But I agree with TFMV part, I always forget this program. ▪ - 14:09, 17 July 2014 (PDT)

Thank you very much, it'll be usefull. Scher2o 12:44, 17 July 2014 (PDT)

Infobox/Class Images

Got a few that wouldn't hurt to be done. They're not super urgent (and should be done after all the Love & War stuff, I think we still need good images for the taunts), so I'm not adding improveimage on them or anything, but it'd be useful if you could handle them soon. The majority of the reasoning is just awkward angles/lighting/cropping and so on, more or less the normal stuff. Here's the list:

• Dark Helm - Class Images
• Deadliest Duckling - Infobox and Class Images
• Heart of Gold - Class Images
• Kiss King - Class Images
• Pocket Horsemann - Class Images
• Polar Pullover - Class Images
• Tournament Medal - AU Highlander Community League (Season 1) - Infobox and Class Images
• Tournament Medal - OWL 10 6vs6 Tournament - Infobox and Class Images
• Tournament Medal - UGC 6vs6 Tournament (Season 13)/Tournament Medal - UGC Highlander Tournament (Season 11) - Infobox and Class Images

Looking over Category:Articles needing images and Category:Images that need improving a good place to find images that need doing too. Again, none of this is urgent, handle all the Love & War and any other images you want to do first, these would just be helpful. Thanks in advance. --Omolong (talk) 09:51, 28 July 2014 (PDT)

No worries. I'm almost finishing the Love and War ones, but sadly, I won't be able to do Tower of Summer Shades variation. What I can do is take a screenshot of HLMV and ask my friend that knows how to remove background from reflective visors, if he gets a spare time to do it. I can do these with no problem, just remember that I got this [huge list] to do as well. Thanks. ▪ - 09:56, 28 July 2014 (PDT)

The background isn't that hard to do in Photoshop, but I dunno what it's like in GIMP. In HLMV, you just take a screenshot with a white background, and one with a black background. In Photoshop you'd then just make them separate layers in the same document, and set the top one to use Difference blending (I normally do the black one). Then you hold CTRL and click on the RGB channels, and invert the selection. Then, you can either delete the selected area, or set it to be an alpha mask/channel. Then it's just the standard cropping and everything that you have with normal images. Dunno how much that helps with GIMP or Paint.NET or anything like that, but there might be something similar.

And yeah, I was checking that list to make sure I didn't link anything you'd already included, that's why I said it wasn't urgent or anything like that. Thanks, anyway. --Omolong (talk) 10:06, 28 July 2014 (PDT)

I'll search another ways to remove background on gimp later, but thanks anyways. ▪ - 10:45, 28 July 2014 (PDT)
