Cookies picture
Nice. Did you take it yourself? --Mistertrouble189 18:56, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice dude! We'd love to get pics for our picture-less weapon/store/location pages and even replacements for the lower quality pages. =D Keep up the good work. --Mistertrouble189 19:30, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome! And I fixed it, all good! --Mistertrouble189 19:48, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes, I've had that problem. Sometimes the new image won't upload, so best thing I found to do was to upload it under an entirely different name. Deleting the current image and re-uploading won't work so try it under a diff title. --Mistertrouble189 20:07, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

open bcs file
how do you open a bcs file? In really basic terms, thank you!

RE:

I think dialogue is stored in the \data\frontend\str_ .bcs files. They seem to be lots of NULL separated flat text strings with a bunch of header data. The readable bits start around 0xED80 in the English file, with meaningful text a little further down.

 * thank you, i found this too, a bcs to txt editor, but you need to be registered to see it:

you have been incredible
Thank you so much for all your help. I may not come here every time to say thanks, but your comments are VERY appreciated. Anno1404 03:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, your an admin now
Congratulations I just promoted you to admin. I am talking to Mister on Special:WebChat right now, and he thought it was a good idea, and I think Frank/Jax will too.

Reading the comments on deadrising.wikia.com, I see that they had some kind of list or something. I just think I need to say congratulations :) Anno1404 04:42, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

IRC
I saw you came on, then where dropped. what happened? the same thing happened to phil too. Anno1404 17:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

suggestions?
RE: http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?16009-internet-explorer-%28ie%29-font-size-signifigantly-smaller-than-firefox-in-skin/page3

Unfortunately only I am able to change these ported Monaco files. Any suggestions here or at mwusers sure would help! thanks for everything, the "to do" list is not getting any shorter, because the issues keep coming up, but the finished section thanks to your help, sure is growing! Anno1404 09:13, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * thank you, actually i was not clear, sorry, the ie problem is fixed (yeah!) it is the very last thread that I am still having problems with:


 * This html which allows me to embed shoutbox, a chat box, shows up fine in monobook, and about half of the other skins I have:


 * [url]http://deadrisingwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Dead_Rising_Wiki&useskin=monobook[/url]


 * But does not show up in monaco. I have looked at the monobook coding and have not gotten anywhere. suggestions?


 * Thanks a million, you have been a godsend! Anno1404 15:03, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * thank you, I will try that! Anno1404 22:00, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

templates protection
nice job on the block.

I would like to avoid protecting as much as possible. I believe the more people who can edit pages, the better our wiki will be. If it really starts to become a problem I can put in a captcha for unregistered users, I was planning on doing this anyway. Anno1404 22:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * nice: Template:Blocked User‎
 * you must have been on wikipedia recently :)
 * Neither wiki ever bothers with these templates in the past. your welcome to use them, i personally find them extra work which these vandals do not deserve.
 * i am so glad i promoted you to admin. :) Anno1404 22:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Great points, I will start using it too. Are you having lag? For some reason this site just got really laggy for me. I know it is only this site, because others run fine. Anno1404 23:17, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

allstores
strange, the allweapons works.

I was aware of the timeout. I will look at it. A 18:57, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * it works, http://deadrisingwiki.com/wiki/User:A/34
 * it just doesn't work in large numbers, what page were you playing with? A 19:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have the same problem. Weird, maybe that is the reason Dead Rising 2 Stores doesn't load correctly, yet Dead Rising 2 Weapons does.
 * thanks for pointing this out! I am looking at it now. A 20:13, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * God you are a godsend. I got it to work. I think I need to remove some of the entries, moving stores with large items to the respective pages.
 * Thank you SO much for your efforts. You and mister have really distinguished yourselves as superstars on this new fledging wiki. A 21:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

RE: gallery tags

Lets mess with the php!

I have the gallery code up, just change what you think i should change and I will! Lets try it! A 16:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

actually the edit counter was done by dantman in his latest update, who is responsible for the dantman monaco port.

There is a new update which just came out an hour ago, I will try it.

You can offer the correction there: https://github.com/dantman/monaco-port or I can after I see if it works! A 16:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * hello, better than before though... I did not design this...I would have made it smaller, although it was like this before. I don't like how the buttons are over so far either.
 * I am adding back the chat box, although I cannot talk on it until tonight.
 * I need to move up the side bar. I know I have it somewhere.
 * check the to do page --really excited about the file:image: idea and ready to do it after update! A 17:48, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * found it: Add_shoutbox_to_every_page_of_your_site A 17:51, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * raising the side bar does not work in this update, here is what we have on monaco.css:

/*** Height of logo from dec 26 irc chat with otherworldbob and anno1404***/ height: 0px !important; }
 * 1) wikia_header {

top: 100px !important; }
 * 1) widget_sidebar {


 * Suggestions? A 17:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Chat box is back. although I cant talk on it. A 17:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I will try it. A 18:13, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * remember you have access to Mediawiki:Monaco.css too. I will try now. A 18:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * FIXED! Thanks for showing me how! A 18:19, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

want to play with the forum css
After WEEKS, literally, I finally figured out how to change the forum skin. It is a vast improvement but needs tweeking:

[[File:SNAG-0007.png|right|300px|thumb| the font is too small on the overview forum pages,

the font is gray instead of black on the overview forum pages.

the who's here font table at the bottom is also too small]]


 * 1) The rollover on the thread pages is purple...i think it may look okay when the main font is changed.
 * 2) the who's here font table at the bottom is also too small.
 * 3) the font is too small on the overview forum pages,
 * 4) The buttons for the thread pages for "start new thread" and "subscribe", the font is gray instead of black
 * 5) the font is  gray instead of black on the overview forum pages.

I know this stuff is like catnip for clones for you. :) Lets see your techinical and artistic prose!

See how to access, below \/


 * you can access all the forum css here:
 * http://deadrisingwiki.com/wiki/Special:AWCforum/admin/css/css_edit_get
 * There is a copy of the css file called "bulginggreenalienhead" which you can play with, once and change to default to test. Once you are done, make it the default permanently, and that skin will be named after you! Hooray! A 21:21, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
