TtG Cont.

Silent Arbiter - you know, that is not a bad idea at all. And I understand; MtG/TtG is not for everyone, but I figured it would be an interesting program on the Moose if anyone wants to challenge each other and earn extra site credits. ^{Some Assembly Required!}

Raiders

Hm, I detected some raiders during the training missions and I can say the ones at Sniper training are troublesome, since they cannot be acessed (their door is locked, there is no key and cannot be picked). I know they have that raider armor, not sure which rifle they use. Is there a way to check them via the editor? Also, what do you think about the question I left about the ghouls?

Retaliation

That's what I figured. Very juvenile, especially from a fellow Fallout man. I'm off of VSTF's blacklist, however I just don't want that blemish on affiliate. --TwoBearsHigh-Fiving (Talk) 23:21, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Request

Do you think you could check my latest additions to the notable loot on Sierra Madre vault? Also, would you consider them notable due to quantity? --Skire (talk) 23:27, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Interesting. Looks like I was lucky then! Thanks a lot, J. --Skire (talk) 23:49, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Sure, just let me know. I think it's particularly important because it's not like you can keep going back to this part of the casino... --Skire (talk) 23:59, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks. When it comes to notable loot, I think we should always include as much as possible. With the new template, the issue of "clutter" is resolved. The readers would want to know what to take with 'em (along with the gold bars). You know, I was just play through DM yesterday and I managed to take all 37 gold bars with me! --Skire (talk) 17:50, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, perhaps 5 is too few to display at a time. Newer users that are not familiar with the site could indeed easily miss the expand button. Maybe we could display 7 or 8 items at a time? Also, if you want clutter, check out Beyond the Beef#Bugs. --Skire (talk) 18:16, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I've made the changes to the template. If there's opposition I'm sure we can sort it out. --Skire (talk) 19:36, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you changed the template. Did I mess something up? --Skire (talk) 01:33, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Darn, and I thought I had tested it out fine already in my sandboxes =P You'll have to excuse me then. --Skire (talk) 23:00, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Emil Pagliarulo & Fallout Tactics

Hello. I am hoping you can help me find an inerview from Emil Pagliarulo. One in which he says that "High-Level Events" of Fallout Tactics are canon. I believe it was from No Muntants Allowed. If you know anything about this interview or even if it really exists or not will be a great help.

Chat

Yep, chat is quiet. There's a bug at the moment which means anyone without Admin or VTSF privileges can't get in. I'll let you decide if thats a good thing or not :P Agent c (talk) 10:41, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Reported it last night. It's just is from what I've seen. Agent c (talk) 14:58, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

The problem actually just got fixed. A staff member, Kirkburn, came on chat and discovered that an IP block caused a bug blocking all non-admins. Everyone can get back on now. Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 16:00, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Notable Quotes

Can I ask for clarification on what a quote has to be to be "notable"? 5.66.97.210 18:23, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Helena

The background component of the image was used without permission. Hail and peace are coming up with a solution. Agent c (talk) 19:09, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Request

Excuse me, but are you able to put images of Vulpes Inculta's head sliders (age, tone, shape etc) from the Fallout New Vegas G.E.C.K. from PC. The reason I ask is because I really want to cosplay Vulpes Inculta as the Courier in Fallout New Vegas for the Xbox. I do not have the game for PC, or I'd do it myself, of course. SniperKing1 (talk) 20:28, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I want my Courier to look like Vulpes Inculta completely. SniperKing1 (talk) 05:58, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

So get screenshots of his sliders in the G.E.C.K. And put them on my talk page. SniperKing1 (talk) 15:23, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry if I was unclear.

So in character creation, I am trying to recreate Vulpes Inculta's face entirely.

Figuring out where exactly to put the vertical slider notch for each slider (forehead, age, nose, hair, hair color, and so on) will be practically impossible with just head-shot image.

On the other hand, taking screenshots of his sliders in the G.E.C.K. will make creating Vulpes Inculta much easier.

This may help you for what screenshots might have to be taken of in the G.E.C.K. to know Vulpes Inculta's sliders completely (note: this is Miraak's sliders in Skyrim; they may appear like it in the G.E.C.K.; I am not sure) -- http://i.imgur.com/zB5li1r.jpg

I just created Vulpes Inculta. It looked quite a bit like him, but I happened to notice something. On that image of the GECK sliders of him, I noticed it lacked the texture sliders (i.e. Tone: shade, blue/yellow tint, eyeliner etc). SniperKing1 (talk) 18:50, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

A recent edit

I'm relatively certain it wasn't you. But I figured I'd bring this edit to your attention.

Never know. Someone could of hacked you. But I was pretty certain it wouldn't have been you anyway. What would be the point of logging out just to leave your username after all?

Pictures

What's going on with the pictures? Some of them are very blurry, and clicking on them shows that they have been resized to a very small portion of what they used to be. Leea (talk) 18:10, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

That would be good if thy were notified. I had first noticed the problem over at the F.E.A.R. wiki yesterday, and had contacted the admin over there and she said she would contact Wikia about it. I don't know if she did or not, I hate to pester someone, but maybe if Wikia gets multiple contacts about the bug they'll get a fix out faster. Leea (talk) 22:22, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Articles

I think I should convert the Ghoul (Fallout Tactics) and Humanoid robot to characters instead. The reason is that they carry items and can use any kind of weapon (unlike other "true" creatures: scurry bots, brahmin, dogs etc.). Plus, they would have more information as characters than creatures, since their derived statistics can be put into the character infobox. Energy X 12:31, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps. But the fact stays that the article has more info as character than a creature. Energy X 13:29, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Voice Actors

I haven't heard anything, I'll try again. Agent c (talk) 14:33, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

I know you're busy but

Would you be so kind as to answer a quick question for me...

I've already changed my username here on the wiki once...so wikia wont let me do it again. If I make a new account, will my current edits still count for me on this username?...i know they wont actually move over to the new one but if i redirect and then any future edits count towards the new as well. (ie. Dr. 0 - has 452 edits..."insert new name here" - has X edits...would yall be able to just add them together to get a total edit count for me?

If you need something clarified ill be on for awhile.Dr. 0 17:32, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I enjoy how you're so dedicated to Fallout. And I am writing in response to a message I think you left me, I got the "limited number made" information from the Sentry Bot article. I'm sorry if this was wrong.

Wolf's Bakery

I have 2 questions:

a) Could you add the G.E.C.K. model from Wolf's Bakery sign to the page (like you did on the Hotel page) and link the references to that picture?

b) I missuploaded a picture and now the most recent Smitty's has the filename of Wolf's Bakery, could you take care of this? I can't change filenames without admin.

Thanks in advance! - ^Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 22:09, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, turned night while I was investigating all and forget to mind the lighting. I'll take new pictures later. Another thing: The feet of giant statues I found in the back of Zapp's Neon Signs intrigue me since nothing similar appears in the game. Does the G.E.C.K. give them a name that might give us a clue? They somehow remind me a bit of the giant in Paradise Falls. - ^Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 23:58, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

You missed a few signs from Uptown Drugs Prescriptions, I've also seen signs of them in North Freeside - ^Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 14:01, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Yup, they were part of a barrier. I didn't know it was called differently in the G.E.C.K., I thought you just looked over it or so. I made screenshots of the barriers as a whole and via tfc also every sign layer that wasn't visible from the global one. Everything I found with it is already put in articles, but if it could help you in any way, just let me know, then i'll upload them.- ^Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 14:22, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Enclave image

How is it a good image when the same image is already shown elsewhere in the article, in the Rise to Power section? 14:48, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

The one at the top, zoomed in? Probably some debug tool or something, maybe even a modding tool, to get a good look at the floor.

15:11, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Image

Hm, it is odd that there was no .50 DU round image. I took the image from the game, but it does not have the transparent background... Energy X 21:55, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Also, I have some images that have been taken from FOT ending cinematic, which could be inserted into some pages (like Civilian (Fallout Tactics) or Tribal (Fallout Tactics) etc.). What do you think? Energy X 22:20, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Timeline Error

Hi, I saw an error on the fallout timeline, but I don't have the necessary information to fix it..or really know who to contact. Details below

2135 Elder Roger Maxson dies of cancer, and his son, already an accomplished soldier, takes up the role of "General" (Elder) within the Brotherhood of Steel. John Maxson becomes a member of the Paladins, showing tremendous promise as a soldier.[17] The Jackals lose a major battle against rival raider clan The Khans, survivors are forced further east.

2141 Spring: Vault 15 opens.[17] Winter: Raiders begin to organize in the region as food supplies run low. The Khans and the Vipers begin terrorizing local settlements.[17]

They fought battles and moved east before ever leaving the vault?

Source validity query

Yo Js, I noticed the use of this source: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tmgl8dzv2ja55i/fnv%20cut%20stuff.txt on several pages and I have a few questions about its integrity.

Who is the author?
Where did we find it?
What kind of source is it? (ex. primary/secondary/tertiary)

I'm not sure who to ask but I figured I'd bring it to your attention since you have been involved in a great deal of pages I've found this source on.

Regardless, happy editing! --The Ever Ruler (talk) 21:42, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Machine gun

Just wondering where you want to go with this page. Since I can potentially see someone start adding other weapons due to varying definitions of what constitutes a machine gun. For instance, someone may potentially want to add the Assault Carbine or Minigun from FNV to the page. Great Mara (talk) 16:38, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, but I can see someone on US side trying to add more because anything here that fires fully automatically with a single depress of the trigger is considered a machine gun. Perhaps we should have something pointing to specific pages for automatic firearms? Great Mara (talk) 16:47, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

I was just wondering if we should put a notice pointing users to the different pages is all, not really full blown templates. Also wondering about the Battle Rifle page now, mainly the Service Rifle. It wouldn't be classed as a battle rifle since it uses the weaker 5.56mm cartridge. Great Mara (talk) 17:10, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the machine gun page, shouldn't the Chauchat be on that page too, despite its lack of functionality? It is technically a machine gun. Richie9999 (talk) 17:18, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

I have a question

Eh, figure since I saw you edit I may as well message you about this, too.

This is just out of curiosity, but what do you think would happen if most of the admins started vandalizing the wiki out of the blue? Let's say it were all the active bureaucrats. What do you think would happen in this hypothetical situation? Юра 21:04, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
