Sorry about my first edition
Hi! Sorry for the first edition of Mercenary Park (cosmetic item) on the Baseball cap/fi page.
I come to the wiki to ask to staff about the 3D module you use in the wiki, as the user User:Shahar told me that the module was originally from this wiki; however, when I tried to contact, I saw that I had to follow a series of steps before, and as I hardly know the saga I went to edit broken images. Then, I discovered that there were more pages in different languages and, seeing that you reversed my change, I did it correctly afterwards.
Staff to staff, sorry for the first inconvenience, I know it's frustrating to revert the changes and edit them again. I wish the best for your wiki, and I see that you have it very well structured and with hardly any bugs, congratulations! A22PG (talk) 16:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it, I've made similar mistakes a few times in the past mostly with Bonesaw (map) and Brimstone (map) linking to Bonesaw and Brimstone respectively. It's better that you made the edit and bring the mistake to someone's attention than to not have made the edit and have the mistake be there until someone else found it.
I also really don't mind reverting changes and editing them again.

I have a question
Hello Grampa Swood!
I recently registered on wiki, but already made a couple of changes (60+ articles edited)
And i just want to know 2 things: 1) How much edits user must do to be nominated for Wiki-cap 2) And can any person ask somebody to nominate them? I hope i will do much more changes and maybe one day get nominated and just want to know more about it. P.S. i bad in english, if there any mistakes, sorry XD TSTH 17:46, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- 1. There is no edit requirement for it, but that also does not mean 10 edits will grant the Cap.
- 2. Users should only nominate others if they think they truly deserve it. That being said, asking a friend of yours to nominate you will result in the nomination being removed.
- Translators are able to nominate themselves, but this is only if they meet the requirements to do so.

With the Boxes
Hey, I am definitely going to need your help with the boxes part, whenever I attempt to add this in below: /Template:Border | image = Main menu soldier.png | image-size = 20px | title = General info | content = Hallo, und Willkommen this is my TF2 Wiki Page! I am an American guy living in the West. I am a sort of Medic Main, though I do play other classes a lot, I enjoy helping my teammates, so I like Medic. And I also like German and am learning it, so I like the German guy. I also enjoy playing Sniper, though most of the time when I am playing Sniper, I use the SMG most of the time. I have a steam account as well. I also play games other than TF2, such as Team Fortress Classic, Fortress Forever, w:Stellaris, w:Europa Universalis IV, w:Crusader Kings II, w:Deltarune (yes, I do play this mix of games) and many others. It always comes up with User:Tenth class gaming/Template:Border (I did remove the {} in order for it to show.) Do you know how to fix this?

Issue i'm facing
Hello Gramps, I'm currently starting to make edits for AR pages(I'm aware that it's deprecated) but meh why not, ok so my issue is that I can't change some elements and names in edit page, it's visible in the original page but wherever i look in edit mode, I can't change it, looking forward to hear your reply.
Acceonit (talk) 23:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's likely a template that you're looking for? Anything in curly brackets
{{ }}
is a template. To find these, simply take the text in the brackets and put it after "wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:". For example,{{Painted variants}}
would be on wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:Painted variants.

- I guess I have to bother you more... sorry, so I noticed few things, most titles and statements are stored in a template, that's great, I can edit that but which one? and how can I know it's the original? for example, `السكاوت`, this how can I edit the original template of the Scout's AR Name?, another matter is translations.. for example Soldier in Arabic is الجندي but I have no clue.. why in someone's mindset to add it as صولجر, it makes no sense in arabic, i guess transliteration? ok but why? for foreign understanding? or just bad translation? can't really ask current ar translators, most of them appear to be 'dead'
- Acceonit (talk) 22:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Those translations are stored in the

I wonder if this template I just made would be useful
Hello. I made {{UberCharge Cart}} template, and I want to know if it would be useful.
These are couple reasons I made this:
- The information on Payload about being able to/not to push/block the cart while ubercharged by different mediguns is wrong, so I needed to fix it.
- It CAN be described all in texts, but I thought it would take up unnecessarily large amount of space, but this template could save time and space at the same time for me and others.
Since I don't use IRC channel, and because I don't know any other staffs/mods, I want to know what your/others opinions are about the template, if it's unnecessary, and if there can be anything else to improve it.
Nihil ( Talk | Contributions ) 15:56, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Also, describing all the informations in texts would be harder to see it by glance (which means it would need a lot more effort to read all texts) and understand it than describing all of them with the template.
- "Intuition" is a key-word, I guess. I really hope to see any feedback from you and others.
- Nihil ( Talk | Contributions ) 16:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Seems good, but I'll make some minor changes first. Preferably, these should be made on userspace before being moved to main unless it's a pre-existing table.

Projectile Shield Cleanup
Hey Grampa, I've been working on fixing up the Projectile Shield strategy page to bring it up to Wiki standards and was hoping if you could let me know if it's goin alright as of right now? It's at User:Payn/ProjectileShieldCleanup. Please be brutally honest with your feedback, I want to make it as good as it could possibly be, as it is still a W.I.P. Payn (talk) 06:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- I would remove the Medic section in the class-specific strategy, and merge it with the general strategy, or remove the general strategy and merge it with the class-specific section. I also wouldn't put the Medic section at the top of the class-specific list, but rather at the usual placement. As for content-specific stuff, I'll have to go over it 1-by-1 to see if they're useful or not. You'll have to give me permission either here or using
{{AllowedEditors}}
on the page.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 19:20, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- I went over the whole page, should be fine now. Feel free to move it over if you have no more changes.

Mannpower Powerups template
Hi. I'm working on making a template for mannpower's powerups. The link is User:Nihil/Template:Mannpower powerups.
Main purpose is to make it easier to translate/edit powerup table, and to make the list on Mannpower section on List of game modes shorter and easier to read.
I gave you permission to edit just in case if you see anything to fix/improve (I think language transition part might not be right). It would be glad to get any feedback from you.
Also, is it possible to make this table a bit smaller when used on other pages? I think this table itself is enough for Mannpower page, but would be too big for List of game modes page.
Should I make another template to shrink it, or should I make it collapsible? Or maybe there can be other ways to make it fit for the page. I don't know what would be the best, or at least a better way.
I'm greatly thankful for your helps and advices, as always.
Nihil ( Talk | Contributions ) 06:50, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. I would recommend either putting all the available translations in there already, or just not replacing them on pages that don't have support on the template yet. Otherwise, I fixed the translation switching template and commented it out (it adds a category by default).

Questions about korean localizations for {{other uses}}
template
Hello.
I've been using {{other uses}}
template, and I have always wondered if there's any way to change the order of the parameter texts and the non-parameter texts.
It is really hard to explain to foreign people how Korean works even with examples, but here's an example:
- If I use
{{other uses|this=(text 1)|for=(text 2)|(text 3)}}
on korean pages, it currently shows "이 문서는 다음에 관한 것입니다: (text 1), 혹시 이 문서를 찾고 계신다면: (text 2), 이 곳에서 볼 수 있습니다: (text 3)", which is not quite right (believe me).
- The order should rather be "이 문서는 (text 1)에 대한 것입니다. 혹시 (text 2) 문서를 찾고 계신다면, (text 3)에서 볼 수 있습니다". You can see the parameter texts should be inside the non-parameter texts. Yes, I know you probably won't even understand why it is not quite right
tl;dr: I wonder if you, or people you know, know how to change the order of texts and parameters in the template specifically for korean, or if I should make another template for this.
I think making another template is easier than finding out how to change the order, but I wanted to ask you before doing anything.
Nihil ( Talk | Contributions ) 04:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I believe some other languages had this problem too. Simply replace this template with
{{Hatnote}}
and write them out manually each time. It's unfortunate, but without changing up the whole template we can't do much about this. I'll see if I can do smth about it at some point.

Recently deleted edit to Super Zombie Fortress page
Hey i have a problem you deleted my contribution to the Super Zombie Fortress Wiki i added the image because it was different then Zombie Fortress. super zombie fortress and zombie fortress are the same gamemode but there is a difference uper zombie Fortress has looks based on left4dead while zombie fortress Does not have the theme of of super zombie fortress because it is missing the left4dead theme. i just want to know why you deleted my contribution to this part of the team fortress 2 wiki im not mad im just confused thanks for understanding my situation.
DocThenotable (talk) 21:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- As explained in the edit summary, the image didn't really show anything of note. It was a random screenshot taken on a part of a map where nothing of note could be seen. It just doesn't add much value to the page and seems very random.

New template
I made a new template you may want to check out. It is a template all about RGB. It would be useful for people that are used to RGB rather than HEX.
---- Talk Contribs Steam 17:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like this method is easier to use. The template is very big and basically repeats itself 3 times, it would be better to convert it to hex instead.

Blurry achivement images
I have been exploring the TF2 wiki when I came across to the achivements and I noticed that achivement images are either blurry or pixely. It can been seen on Achivements page. Is it from Steam exported or can it be changed to a high quality end? --Vinzesco (talk) 11:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Could you show an image of what that looks like? The images are taken directly from the game's files, but if they look blurry it might be because you have your browser zoomed in. If I zoom in to 110% instead of the usual 100%, the icons turn blurry.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 11:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps going to the image itself would make a difference? File:Tf spy identity theft.png. They all look high quality to me

- Perhaps going to the image itself would make a difference? File:Tf spy identity theft.png. They all look high quality to me

I have finally translated the Mechanics/hu
Could you check it up if I have made any misstakes or missing pieces? Just a quick look is enough.Thanks, --Vinzesco (talk) 21:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- I made some changes here. But there are many more instances of using redirect links rather than the actual pages, as well as a lot of overlinking. For example, it should be [[Minigun/hu|Gépágyú]], and not [[Gépágyú]]. There are still many more instances of that on the page that should be fixed. It's preferred to use
{{item link}}
and{{item name}}
instead, which you seem to use later on. In the "Eszközök" section there is also an untranslated line, as well as(record FILENAME in the console) , amelyeket
having a space after parenthesis, then 2 spaces after the comma (+ untranslated line in the brackets). Not sure if that's how Hungarian does it, but other examples don't do that. Remember to add{{lang icon}}
after links that don't have translations (such as the Help:Recording demos page, and the VDC links).
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 07:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the look up Grampy, I will look that up, there might be some mistakes in the HU translation but I translated how it felt natural and informative sometimes prepositon are on the ending sometimes on the beginning but they are both naturally good. --Vinzesco (talk) 19:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Question
Hi, as we talked about earlier, I am soon to begin working on a demo redo for the Cleaner's Carbine. I discussed my PC likely not being able to handle intensely high settings; you messaged me saying that the highest settings should suffice, but I beg to differ. If it's not a bother, and if it's something you're allowed to do, do you think you could write a config file that I could execute to tune my graphics settings to something that is not too high but still looks smooth on my hardware? For a point of reference here are my PC stats (these are from memory, hopefully they are accurate):
- Intel Core i7 (not sure which model), 3.5 mHz, 4 cores
- 16GB of DDR3 RAM
- My PC runs on integrated graphics
Yours sincerely,
Scorchshotgaming Scorchshotgaming (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- I believe that turning up the graphics settings in the settings menu should suffice quality-wise, if your PC can't handle that then it may simply not be suitable for demonstrations, unfortunately.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 19:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, once I obtain a Cleaner's Carbine from Scrap.TF, I'll try that. For the sake of performance, instead of directly screen recording it, I'll try and record a demo and then record it. Hopefully everything should go well. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 19:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- If recording the demo at the end is an issue, feel free to send it to me somewhere and I can record it.

- Thanks, I'll talk to you later. Hopefully I should be done within a week or two. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 19:29, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I'll try:
- Model quality: High
- Texture quality: High
- Shader detail: High
- Shadow detail: Medium
- Basically I'll do everything near-max settings and record the demo. But do demos actually capture with your own graphics and FOV settings or do they depend on the person watching it?

Problems with weapon demonstration
Hi, I have tried to begin making my demonstration, however I have been facing some technical issues. If I install tr_karma_wiki and try to load it, the game will completely freeze before it can load the map. This has happened no matter how many times I have tried, in windowed and fullscreen mode. If I remove tr_karma_wiki and join a community server everything is fine. Do you have a solution?
Thanks,
Scorchshotgaming Scorchshotgaming (talk) 09:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Where have you added the map? I only know that having a map in your custom folder can crash the game. Otherwise, I would have no idea, I assume it's something to do with the new 64-bit.

- Again, the game freezes at "initializing resources"! To be honest, I might leave this demonstration on hold until I get this issue fixed somehow. Talk to you later. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 09:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- That's fair, does the game actually crash or just take a long time?

- That's fair, does the game actually crash or just take a long time?
- As far as I know, when it is nearly done at "initializing resources", I sit there for two minutes and it just does absolutely nothing. I think it's just frozen. Maybe it's a fault with tr_karma, or I just didn't install it correctly. Either way, this demo is on hold for a bit until I can figure this out. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 10:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps I could go to Ashe for help? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 10:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
It's worth a try.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 10:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think it might be a problem with one of the props inside tr_karma_wiki. Can I try the legacy tr_target version? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 11:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Make sure to use the one provided in the weaponref.

- Wait, actually, the game doesn't freeze; the map loads, except it just stays on a static frame the entire time. I'll try and bind a key to "hud_reloadscheme", then reload the HUD after I think the game has loaded. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 11:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- The game is frozen on a static frame, what do I do? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 11:40, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like it is probably caused by the 64-bit update. You can either try adding
-nosound
to your launch options (I've seen some people say this works) or simply wait until there is an update to fix it.

- I've tried -nosound, to no avail. I suppose the demo is on hold until later. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 11:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Tried 32-bit and everything, nothing's working. Can I cancel this reservation? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, just remove it from the page.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 13:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hang on, I might try again. As long as you approve I can try tr_target_weapondemo_hdr (if that was what it was called) instead of tr_karma. It might look out of place, but as long as it works right is it acceptable for now? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 16:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah should be fine. Check if yesterday's patch fixed the regular map, though.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 16:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah should be fine. Check if yesterday's patch fixed the regular map, though.
- OK. Should be done within a week. I'll re-reserve on the talk page. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like tr_karma is still suffering the freezing issue, even with -nosound. However, the download link for tr_target_weaponref_hdr doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 18:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've tried the tr_karma_rc1 version on Workshop, which began loading but made no progress on "Upgrading steam resources” (I think it was called that). After it took forever and made no progress, I closed the game then restarted it, again for it to make no progress. Also, like I said, the tr_target_weaponref_hdr download link on the talk page doesn't work. A little help? Scorchshotgaming (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
I tried TF2 without my Mastercomfig launch options, everything was the same. Also I checked my installed files for integrity using Steam and it said "1 file failed to validate". I think that's referring to the tr_karma file. Scorchshotgaming (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
tr_karma
shouldn't fail to validate, it's likely another file. The download is fine on my end, try turning off any extensions you have. The file gets marked as "possibly harmful" on my PC, so maybe it has something to do with that.

Evidence for the bugs I listed in the HUD page
Hi, I didn't know if this is how I should submit this evidence, but it should work fine.
Here's picture evidence of both bugs.

- Hi, an external link in the edit summary is the standard way. This does suffice for proof, though.

Hello, I saw your reply, and, I get the 2007 version of TF2 in the public domain, and it is now available on the archive Here`s link, if you want: link, I checked this, and game is safe Also, there are SFM, Source ACTBusy tool, Sample tool, VMT Editor.
P.S:If I answered in the wrong place, know that I’m just starting to understand this website. LFino043 (talk) 14:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC) LFino043 (talk) 14:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Generally talk page entries are answered under the original topic, but this is fine too. Though it's not in the public domain, someone just uploaded it. It falls under "leaked content" as it was a build from before TF2's release. Please see our leaked content policy for more. I've deleted the screenshot for that reason. If you can find a screenshot of it in the SFM that's available on Steam, that would be a better reference, but using old leaked builds is a no-no.

Hey, Grampa, need ya help.
I'm trying to add something to my user page but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Basically, with my greetings paragraph, I want 2 beggars bazookas on either side of it. Now, the issue is I don't know how to do this. I have already uploaded an image of a flipped beggars bazooka from the wiki, so all I need to know is this. Cheers — payn.

Hello Grampa, I am back. I was wondering how I could recreate what Tark did with the TF Wiki Logo, as I was hoping to try and replace it too. I was taking a look in the source, but I couldn't find what made it work. Would be cool if I could be told, if it is able to be done with just the wiki editor alone. Thanks in advance — payn.

- You need to be whitelisted first. They never whitelisted me, unfortunately :(
- -- Talk Contribs Steam 02:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- To be whitelisted, you must ask either me or Wikipan and possess a proficient understanding of CSS. Someone being rejected before doesn't mean the same will happen to you.
- That said, we won't be granting access to users solely to change the wiki logo, it would be granted if they wish to push the limits and create something interesting with it (which seems to be your case here - your page is a gem). — Tark 14:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

3D Models, I wish to participate
Hi Grampa, I've been wanting to participate in more "useful" stuff for the wiki, for lack of a better word. As such, I've decided I want to contribute to the 3D Models project. Could you direct me to the page that explains what the required software is, and what I should do? Thanks in advance — payn. Talk Contribs 03:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
