User talk:Xbony2/2016 - June-Dec

Just a feedback???
Greetings, Xbony2

I was thinking of editing the bee species pages because most of them are not up-to-date. That is all.
 * Well, I encourage you to do so ^_^ -Xbony2 (talk) 15:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Kappa
We need a Kappa icon. get to it. just undelete the old file if possible File:Kappa.png. --  Jin bo  bo  07:48, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Look, Kappa!

-Xbony2 (talk) 11:19, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That's the wrong kappa.
 * Whoops. You'll have to take care of it then. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Mod vs Minor Mod
What determines whether a mod is minor or not? ScottKillen [ talk ] 13:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * - this is something that's been debated and discussed for a long time. Personally, I like to define a major mod as a mod the mod author sinks a lot of time into, and one with significant gameplay additions. It might be their main mod, or one of their main mods. Advanced Generators, which you're probably most interested in, could go either way (which is probably why you sent me this message :P). It doesn't have a huge amount of blocks and items, but they're all pretty complex. Personally I think Advanced Generators leans towards being a major mod, but feel free to go with whichever sounds more right to you on this one. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You read my mind. Several of my mods (not listed here...I need to fix that) are very subtle and probably considered minor mods, yet have some major implications on gameplay and took months of work to develop. Other non-minor mods (eg. all the many versions of Chisel) are widely used yet do not really affect gameplay and are decorative in nature. Some (eg. JuiceWares) have almost no content and are still somehow not considered Minor. I have difficulty seeing the value of dividing mods in this highly subjective way way. But, yes, Advanced Generators was on my mind because it is small but is has major impacts on gameplay. Perhaps some official criteria would help? -- ScottKillen  [ talk ] 15:47, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * We've talked about it, but you can't really make an exact formula to determine it. It's not really effect on gameplay, more amount of content and complexity of that content added. -Xbony2 (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The argument behind JuiceWares not being a minor mod is that it adds a new system, the Primal Enchanting system. I think that was the argument anyway --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 20:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Tilesheet request
Why did you delete Scott's tilesheet request? --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 22:49, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Nice try hiding your message ;) if you put anything here I'm not letting it go \o/

7:08:16 PM BunnyMoon: SatanicSanta: because xbony2|afk did the tilesheet request? 7:08:20 PM BunnyMoon: and moved it to the archive? 7:08:32 PM SatanicSanta: did he? 7:08:39 PM SatanicSanta: I didn't see that edit 7:08:45 PM SatanicSanta: oh yea 7:09:25 PM SatanicSanta: Kappa 7:10:57 PM BunnyMoon: SatanicSanta: its okay, I'll pretend to forgive you 7:11:04 PM SatanicSanta: <3 -Xbony2 (talk) 00:00, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up! -- ScottKillen  [ talk ] 02:30, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Tilesheet Fix
If I need an image renamed in an existing tilesheet that I uploaded, what is the best way to request this? (Fuel_Air Mixer should be Fuel Air Mixer) -- ScottKillen  [ talk ] 03:54, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean  to  ? Well, it depends on how fast you want to get it done. The fastest way is pinging someone who can do it on the IRC . Anyway, fixed.  04:04, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Retep!-- ScottKillen  [ talk ] 13:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

thaumcraft stuff so you don't forgot to do it

 * 1) Specify whether the Amber Block and Amber Bricks do anything but look pretty
 * 2) Specify the amount of time it takes for firebats to explode

I'd do it but I don't know TC past TC3 and I'm really, really tired. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 01:21, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Why? Can't you just move User:Sokratis12GR330661 to User:Sokratis12GR? -Xbony2 (talk) 18:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it wants those pages to not exist first. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess you should delete them then. Or I should, since I'm being the one requested. If the translation breaks, it'll be okay I guess, all of the translations were outdated anyway and this isn't a content page. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:53, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

 * 9 deletes away. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get there soon. I wonder if mass-deleting stuff triggers anything. Hi Gamepedia! :D -Xbony2 (talk) 00:58, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

French Translator Kiminou
This new french translator is good. He has either level 4 french or a native speaker. He finds better ways to say what I said. I tend to just translate the words to be as much matching as possible to the English version but at the same time comprehensible. He finds better way to express the words, makes them less obvious that they were translated (which is good ofc), and he has more experience than me in some areas. - Indestructible Pharaoh VII 09:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Convention edits
Can we just not change conventions in pages (particularly header styling and category listings) that don't make any impact and do not have a specific set style for the wiki? It makes it more annoying to read diffs and is utterly pointless. It seems like just another way to rack up slightly more wikipoints than a normal edit would. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 03:24, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I go by this rule- anything that's in my "realm" uses my conventions. Things in my realm include anything I'm documenting/have documented, anything translatable, sometimes things that I want to document that aren't already in someone else's realm.
 * Btw, with T3 chances are unstacked categories are going to be somewhat eliminated by a future template (the syntax will be something like ). -Xbony2 (talk) 11:42, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * okay but those aren't "your" mods or pages. The only time it's appropriate is when creating a page, or when a page mixes conventions (using no-space style at the start then using space-style later for example). --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 20:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's difficult for me for read and edit wikitext that uses bad [IMO] formatting conventions like 2space style and stacked categories, which is why I change it. And NedoComputers is a mod I'm going to document some time soon, so I consider it in my domain. And also, I'm not exactly the only person who has done this (I could provide a lot more examples if I spent enough time, but you get the idea) . -Xbony2 (talk) 20:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * People have different styles and really nobody should be messing with it so long as it uses an accepted and uniform style, including Choco. It's just that you are the main person to be doing this recently. If it were Choco I would be annoyed at him too, despite that he uses my preferred style. I think having "sections" (mods, really) of the wiki being uniformly styled is a good idea, but when doing maintenance edits across the wiki just to change the style from one accepted style to another is where there is true annoyance. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 00:18, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * None (or near none, try to prove me wrong) of my edits have been "just to change the style". They usually contain/focus on other changes. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:29, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, but in those edits, the changes to the headers and (I'm bored of looking at diffs now) categories are totally unnecessary. If I am capable (I am guilty of doing this too, though I'm pretty sure I've basically stopped) of not doing this to pages that use a style that I personally find more difficult to read then you are too. Loose conventions have to go both ways. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 00:53, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Blocking
When blocking someone, be sure to uncheck all of the boxes. This is a Gamepedia policy. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 16:46, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Good IP award
Thanks! :P

I technically have a wiki account, but I can't log into it because I changed my Curse ID and there's a user conflict. I made the edit in the meantime while my account is fixed. 71.190.151.84 17:49, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this would be helpful for you or not, but there it is anyway. If you want me to poke somebody from Curse feel free to ask too :P -Xbony2 (talk) 19:26, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Forestry Tilesheet
Heyoo! Do you think if I give you the big PNG dump from forestry 1.7.10 (on the FTB infinity pack) you could update it so the poor bees and it's products get all the icons they deserve? Such as the Carbon Comb and others alike. Frenchiveruti (talk) 00:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure ^^ -Xbony2 (talk) 02:12, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Here you go Frenchiveruti (talk) 20:44, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:25, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Great! I'll give you the Magic Bees one once I figure out how to make NEI to display all the items from the mod. Frenchiveruti (talk) 03:26, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

uh
I still have no fucking clue how Chunk Loading Ward works because Grid Power doesn't really explain how energy usage works. If it doesn't use ticks, how is energy consumed? It "using 8 power" isn't clear because it is never explained when or how that energy gets consumed, or if it even does get consumed. I should be able to understand how something works by reading its article and any other dependent articles (like Extra Utilities 2) but that is not the case for this article. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 20:39, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Language. :P - Indestructible Pharaoh VII 20:40, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It just uses 8 GP. It's like a point system. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You are making an assumption that people are already familiar with how the mod works. You should be able to read a wiki article (or a set of wiki articles) and understand how to do shit without having to open anything. That is not the case, and repeatedly saying "it uses X power" doesn't help in the understanding. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 09:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Does this make it better or not? I do not see the confusion. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:08, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that makes quite a bit more sense. Thanks. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:46, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
