So... you did it! Everyday uploading a lot of map images and other things. (References: Thunder (CTF), Foundry (CTF), Gorge (Capture the Flag), Coal Town, Snowplow‎). Anyway, you do a good work with locations too. Keep in mind: I'm a stalker.

Thanks for the achieveable! I'm almost done with the Gun Mettle maps. Just have Suijin and Borneo left. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 23:32, 4 July 2015 (PDT)

There go, how to do what I've said on IRC about making the cp_snowplow hud 'gone'. Play it on HD for better reading. User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.png ▪ User Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 19:37, 5 July 2015 (PDT)

So how exactly do you want the replacement overviews? Just better quality? --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 15:55, 22 July 2015 (PDT)
Yes, you know — The preceding assigned comment was added by Tark {Finish Him! ▪ Contribs} 16:01, 22 July 2015 (PDT)

TF2 Classic page

I don't think we need the Team Fortress 2 Classic page, not only the project "illegally" uses the Source Code from 2008's TF2, but it does also have no impact into TF2 as a whole. This wouldn't be good for a Wiki which is stated to be "Official". Last time I checked, they got no permission whatsoever from Valve to change their Source code to make their own "different" game. This would cause several issues if Valve actually sees this on their Wiki, as well, it's advertisement for their project. I suggest asking someone first about it, I don't know if you've done that already, I'm barely in IRC Channel nowadays.

I've already talked with the staff about the page and they said it's okay. I just need to change it's classification from fan game to modification since it uses the TF2 code. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 11:41, 24 August 2015 (PDT)
I don't really agree with their choice, but whatever. Thanks. User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.png ▪ User Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 20:19, 24 August 2015 (PDT)

Jump Gamemode

So you're saying that Jump is not a gamemode heard of? Why was it featured in 3 tip of the hats events then?

And plus it has a huge community of jumpers from around the globe. There are a lot of jump videos on youtube, how is that unheard of?

HyperDan2000 (talk) 08:40, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

Just because there's a lot of Jump videos on Youtube doesn't mean that the mod is popular enough to warrant an article. It's the same reason Slender Fortress doesn't have an article on the Wiki. However, if you believe that the mod gamemode deserves an article, then you should make a page about the mod gamemode instead of every single individual map. If you do though, please make it in your sandbox before actually submitting it as a real page. If it's in your sandbox then that shows that it's a work in progress page and cannot be deleted by the mods. Also, please look for more notability instead of just Youtube comments and word of mouth. We need more proof that the mode warrants an article. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 08:46, 3 October 2015 (PDT)
Okay, thank you for the heads-up. HyperDan2000 (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2015 (PDT)
You're very welcome. Also, make sure that you follow the Wiki Style guide for mod pages. You can use Surfing as an example. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 08:52, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

You've been an amazing guide in helping me get used to the wiki and how it works. I think you deserve this, buddy.
Stank you very much. c: --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 14:10, 4 October 2015 (PDT)

Some stuff of your pics.

I'll list some issues I found with your pictures, they look pretty good, honestly, but for having consistency with others, I list:

  • Bad Cropping, clearly here, you can see the crop is not well done. On GIMP, you can use the Auto-Crop function;
  • Non-HWM models, images for classes requires the use of HWM models for their high-quality;
  • Non-Stock weapons, that's a thing I, myself, actually get bothered. I think that only stock weapons should be shown on those class images, so the reader doesn't confuse with them or don't have questions about the weapon (in-case they don't know);
  • Way too large pictures, pictures that take too much wide space looks bad on the page, since they're going to be resized to fit on the Infobox or the gallery section;

Some other stuff: Try making the pictures not crop on the sides, but still keeping a good "size" on the character's head;
Never crop the top boundaries;
Check your Texture Quality settings, I think it's currently at Medium, but I'm not sure;
Don't adjust the lighting settings, just keep it default. You can reset by either deleting on regedit or placing the default value.

I think your pictures looks great, just some few things to make them perfect. User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.png ▪ User Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 20:19, 6 October 2015 (PDT)
