Unarmed

Is there a particular reason why the more comprehensible 5 + .5*st + .5*ag edit was instantly reverted? (216.21.38.170 17:37, January 5, 2012 (UTC))

the edit was done in line with someone else's suggestion on the talk page. currently the math is needlessly convoluted and unintuitive for what is essentially just half a point per agility and strength. fallout 3/new vegas is a bit better if only because they also provide tables.

if the problem is one of consistency, i'm fine making changes to other fallout/2 pages. (216.21.38.170 17:48, January 5, 2012 (UTC))

More to the point, a lot of the formulas for fallout/2 are convoluted for unnecessary multiplication, like the (1% * some maths). Nowhere in any science that I can think of do you do something like that (i.e. 1 gram * some maths). The units are provided already in the left hand side of the initial formula, so the unit is implied. Adding redundancy in the example just adds more unnecessary information and slows comprehension. Just intuitively, which is easier to quickly read/calculate? 1% * (5 + 5)/2 or .5 * 5 + .5 * 5? or if decimals are too unfriendly, 5/2 + 5/2? (216.21.38.170 18:00, January 5, 2012 (UTC))
Thanks for the response. apologies for the hasty re-revert, more used to discussion on article talk pages than on user talk pages. (216.21.38.170 18:16, January 5, 2012 (UTC))
Barring any further objections, when I have more time later today, I'll do similar for other fallout/2 skills. might as well register then (216.21.38.170 18:21, January 5, 2012 (UTC))

New Name

As you've probably noticed they set the new name up today. It just doesn't look the same... =/ -ΣΔLet's talk! 20:29, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Images

First, you see that the logo has changed. I have my "second" thoughts about it... Also, I do make new images, but they are a bit far away. If I come closer, the character is much darker. Do you have any advice? MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 20:34, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

All right, thanks for the advice. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 21:37, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Uhh... I can only say that I can zoom-in by clicking the right button and to remove the sub-titles I enter tm, as you explained. I will see in future what to do with images. As for the refID's, don't you need a G.E.C.K. for them (as I don't have a one)?

I'll give it a try, then.

Intriguing vandal

204.203.50.129 just replaced the FO3 general tips page with "Dude you just got TROLLED". This is quite blatantly hilarious vandalisation eh? -ΣΔLet's talk! 22:52, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Cross limb damage & id #s

That game setting for the cross bonus limb damage is fcrossskilldamagemult and is set a 2.5. Also, I saw your note to MS about the editor ids for Drill Sergeant (000FE1C7) and NCR Sergeant (000E7E24) and figured I'd look them up too.The Gunny 21:38, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I just checked and the id # for the Drill Sergeant is already there, and I couldn't find the page for the NCR Sergeant (the one from the El Dorado substation, right?) or I would add it. Where's he at? Also, someone just created an account mimiking billy ocean's name.The Gunny 21:45, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
Deleted the Billy Oceaaan account. Hugs MadeMan2 "Say 'ello to my little friend!"
Sorry. NCR Recruit (000fe1e9) Drill Sergeant (000fe1ce)The Gunny 22:00, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
I Got lucky. I had a save right there at McCarran.The Gunny 22:08, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
You have those ID's. Truth be told, I don't know exactly how to "click" an character (you were reffering in G.E.C.K., I suppose).
Good. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 22:22, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────It seems tied to the freeform quest "VFreeformMcCarranQuest". That includes the mess hall quests, Pvt Morales's quest, the discount from Dr. Kemp and some of Contreras's quests. I looked at the associated script and I can't tell what conditions there are for them to appear. Then again, I suck at reading scripts. Maybe you just have to start any of those quests for the script to start running. Also, here's a bunch of lines I pulled from the geck. Some might make a few decent quotes:

Drill Instructor:
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Move it! Move it! Move it! Get those legs up you sorry bastards!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Move, you lazy bastards! Do you think the legion is going to slow down for your sorry asses?!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Quit dragging your feet, recruit. Pick it up!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You run like a feeble old man, private!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You can rest when you're dead, private! Move your ass!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You can rest when you're dead, private! Move your ass!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}How the hell did you make it through boot camp, private?!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You think it burns now, wait until I sit on your shoulders!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}The road to hell is paved by the bleached bones of privates that fell by the wayside, boys.
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Pathetic! My 80-year-old grandmother runs faster than you!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Good thing you're not a ranger. When a ranger quits he's dead!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Sound off like you've got a pair!
{Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}That's better, but you're still not winning the battle, boys.

NCR recruit:
Sir, yes, Sir!
The ref id for the other recruit is 000fe1cd. The Gunny 22:42, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

No, copy/pasted. I'm too lazy to type all that. I just saw that other dialog you pointed out. You might have it right. Next chance I get to test, I'll pay attention to see if they're there before/during/after those quests.The Gunny 23:13, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Super editor

Hey Jspoel, I saw this guy and thought of you, hopefully you can pass him one day, I've never seen someone with over 100,000 edits. You're doing an amazing job though, you'll pry pass him in notime. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/User:Toughpigs --Bunny2Bubble 20:06, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

No problem, I know you can do it! I just had to show you because I've never seen anyone besides you with those kind of edit numbers.

Br. or Am. English

I suggest you lock the "American or British English" page on the Forums. It keeps getting bumped to the top, not to mention it was absolutely useless in the first place as the creator could take a peek at the Policies and Guidelines. -ΣΔLet's talk! 23:42, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Page locked. MadeMan2 "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Question regarding blogpost

Hi Js! Since I'm not an able wiki editor, I was wondering what the reason for you to edit my blog post's videos was. One of them is now missing btw, so it's actually effecting the content even though I don't see what the codingchange does.

Btw. There seems to be an issue with the recent blog post page not showing latest updates and only going as far as december 2011, whereas the blog category page does indeed update properly. Can something be done about this?

The Vault=Nukapedia

I've come across some pages that are named as The Vault: something. Should we rename it to Nukapedia: something? MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 13:47, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

So I just leave it like it was? MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 13:51, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

New page

Tyler just made a new page about listing mods. I'm pretty sure we don't do that kind of thing here, do we?The Gunny 18:54, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Tyler obviously does not know how to/hasn't checked his talk page. He's put up the mods page again, asking why it was deleted. I left a note on it for him to check his talk page.The Gunny 19:21, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the Gauss rifle, Kinda new to the whole "Wiki" situation. I just thought that it might be helpful, if its not then delete it.

Re:Consumables

Grrrrrr! This would've been great knowledge before I had already updated over 20 pages. I'm on Google Chrome so I don't have that, and I'm sure most people don't use Internet Explorer, at least in the States. I'll start changing it to "min." and eventually I might go back and change 'em too. -ΣΔLet's talk! 22:59, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

I think for the space issue it's only for the Atomic Cocktail page, considering "Energy Resistance" and "Fire Resistance" are longer than the typical SPECIAL stat boosts. But yeah, I'll pay attention to that, and I also think minutes looks better than min. when it can be helped. -ΣΔLet's talk! 23:04, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
All FNV consumables updates are now complete! -ΣΔLet's talk! 23:40, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
Well, compared to Jspoel, of course this is not much work! But yeah, I'll get going on the linking. -ΣΔLet's talk! 00:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
