TF2 Classic page

I don't think we need the Team Fortress 2 Classic page, not only the project "illegally" uses the Source Code from 2008's TF2, but it does also have no impact into TF2 as a whole. This wouldn't be good for a Wiki which is stated to be "Official". Last time I checked, they got no permission whatsoever from Valve to change their Source code to make their own "different" game. This would cause several issues if Valve actually sees this on their Wiki, as well, it's advertisement for their project. I suggest asking someone first about it, I don't know if you've done that already, I'm barely in IRC Channel nowadays. ▪ - 09:58, 24 August 2015 (PDT)

I've already talked with the staff about the page and they said it's okay. I just need to change it's classification from fan game to modification since it uses the TF2 code. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 11:41, 24 August 2015 (PDT)

I don't really agree with their choice, but whatever. Thanks. ▪ - 20:19, 24 August 2015 (PDT)

Jump Gamemode

So you're saying that Jump is not a gamemode heard of? Why was it featured in 3 tip of the hats events then?

And plus it has a huge community of jumpers from around the globe. There are a lot of jump videos on youtube, how is that unheard of?

HyperDan2000 (talk) 08:40, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

Just because there's a lot of Jump videos on Youtube doesn't mean that the mod is popular enough to warrant an article. It's the same reason Slender Fortress doesn't have an article on the Wiki. However, if you believe that the mod gamemode deserves an article, then you should make a page about the mod gamemode instead of every single individual map. If you do though, please make it in your sandbox before actually submitting it as a real page. If it's in your sandbox then that shows that it's a work in progress page and cannot be deleted by the mods. Also, please look for more notability instead of just Youtube comments and word of mouth. We need more proof that the mode warrants an article. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 08:46, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

Okay, thank you for the heads-up. HyperDan2000 (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

You're very welcome. Also, make sure that you follow the Wiki Style guide for mod pages. You can use Surfing as an example. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 08:52, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

Some stuff of your pics.

I'll list some issues I found with your pictures, they look pretty good, honestly, but for having consistency with others, I list:

• Bad Cropping, clearly here, you can see the crop is not well done. On GIMP, you can use the Auto-Crop function;
  
• Non-HWM models, images for classes requires the use of HWM models for their high-quality;
  
• Non-Stock weapons, that's a thing I, myself, actually get bothered. I think that only stock weapons should be shown on those class images, so the reader doesn't confuse with them or don't have questions about the weapon (in-case they don't know);
  
• Way too large pictures, pictures that take too much wide space looks bad on the page, since they're going to be resized to fit on the Infobox or the gallery section;
  

Some other stuff: Try making the pictures not crop on the sides, but still keeping a good "size" on the character's head;
Never crop the top boundaries;
Check your Texture Quality settings, I think it's currently at Medium, but I'm not sure;
Don't adjust the lighting settings, just keep it default. You can reset by either deleting on regedit or placing the default value.

I think your pictures looks great, just some few things to make them perfect. ▪ - 20:19, 6 October 2015 (PDT)

Phononaut Images

Hey, you said you were going to do the images for the Phononaut but you haven't done them yet. Are you still doing them or should I do them instead? 15:30, 13 October 2015 (PDT)

I have the images done. I just haven't uploaded them yet due to classes. After dinner I'll upload them. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 16:16, 13 October 2015 (PDT)

Heh, alright I look forward to seeing them 16:17, 13 October 2015 (PDT)

Reversion of edit to Shadow Boxers article

Hey, in response to your reversion of my edit: Wouldn't you agree that the Soldier's voice responses only talk about the enemy team, and not his own? So from that we can agree that Soldier doesn't necessarily know his team's nationalities, only the enemy's.

And in response to the Trivia line "The Scout Robot head says BEEP BOOP OVER HERE after talking. This is a reference to the popular fad 'Need a despencer here!'". That's not a "useful piece of trivia", as it's not a verified fact. It's just a guess. I thought guesswork put down as fact was against the rules on the wiki? Minimuslim (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2015 (PDT)

To the first part, you have to remember at the point that Mann vs Machine happens the RED & BLU teams disbanded and fought together, and the trivia section is referencing the discontinuity between the voice lines and the comic.

The second one is debatable, but I was hasty and just undo'd the whole edit. If you think it's not noteworthy then go ahead and remove the Page 21 bit. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 00:10, 18 October 2015 (PDT)

I don't mind categorizing...

I mean justttt saying.... I mean that's what I started with >.> Ashes (talk) 05:28, 20 October 2015 (PDT)

Eh, it's just a personal issue with me. I want the guy to be the best at editing as he can be. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 06:23, 20 October 2015 (PDT)

Recent images

You've exaggerated the facial flex a bit too much on some of your recent images (and some of old ones too). Try not going too far facial flexing. Examples on these: File:Gamers Assembly Medal Medic.png, File:Gamers Assembly Medal Heavy.png and File:Gamers Assembly Medal Scout.png ▪ - 06:33, 27 October 2015 (PDT)

Okay man. Is it me or has the flexing controls changed? --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 10:34, 27 October 2015 (PDT)

Not really. You just can't put them too much at the max, try going on an appropriate value. Keep checking the model above and see if it's right. ▪ - 18:20, 27 October 2015 (PDT)

One tip I could give would be to try doing the expression in real life. That usually helps. If it's hard to do or is almost painful to do, then tone it down a little bit. 00:14, 28 October 2015 (PDT)

Questions from flamey

Doc, I'm gonna add information to ctf_hellfire. I just wanted to know if you could read it and see if I made any mistakes. I don't wanna get banned from editing! --Flammingidiot (talk) 12:25, 1 November 2015 (PST)Flammingidiot

Yeah I can proofread it. Write the information in your sandbox and send me the link and I'll tell you what changes need to be done. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 12:46, 1 November 2015 (PST)

Ok Doke doc --Flammingidiot (talk) 10:14, 3 November 2015 (PST)Flammingidiot

Also thanks for the compliment on health kits :3 I was constantly checking to make sure I was correct. Also yes I'd like help please :3

Okay, so what do you want done with your page? --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 12:28, 3 November 2015 (PST)

Hehe :3 I don't know, I was learning scripting like <command> etc, forgot the website. You seem to know how to make things look all perty'. Could you make mine perty

DOCTAH HEELP NOW :3 --Flammingidiot (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2015 (PST)flammingidiot

Well, you gotta be more specific. ^^; --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 07:22, 4 November 2015 (PST)

Very well Doctor. Also, did you report the exploit for Borneo? I can put it under bugs, I'm sure others have reported. I never can get in found bugs. The dream of the golden pan remains without my grasp. ANYWHO! You got like a little map box about your name. I don't know. Mine is blank and yechy. I'm sure you're brutally disgusted from viewing it. I might work on the hellpower sandbox soon. My issue is I have so many agendas and so leetle time. Or at least time used to fix my issues. I don't manage time well. For instance now I'm supposed to be working on homework! Still though, you're a big help. At this point I'm rambling away. See! Procrastination! I'm not sure if this a bug or not though, but I use MAC (Play the laughter from superior internet users) and the Halloween event map sd_event never works on my Mac! It always crashes and I can't complete my doomsday event contract! FORGOT TO SIGN. --Flammingidiot (talk) 08:38, 4 November 2015 (PST)flammingidiot

Okay I can start by fixing your infobox. For starters, you're using the map infobox on your page, not the userbox. I'll get that fixed ASAP. As for Borneo, I didn't get any reports of exploits. Any exploits on that map should've already been patched. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 10:28, 4 November 2015 (PST)

Yay! :3 basically the little hut in I believe 2nd (concrete building) you can build on top of. BUT PLEASE TRY TO GET SD_DOOMSDAY_EVENT FIXED! --Flammingidiot (talk) 10:34, 4 November 2015 (PST)

Doctor, I edited Mannpower's page to have a Beta difference section I was wondering if you could see if it's approtiate. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flammingidiot (talk) • (contribs)

Yeah. I realized I seem to be the only person editing hellfire. I like it c: --Flammingidiot (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2015 (PST)flammingidiot

DOC! I edited hellfire again and added some more locations, and added the discussion part and engineer strategy for hellfire. I don't wanna be a pest but could you please check it out? I don't wanna get banned.--Flammingidiot (talk) 05:23, 9 November 2015 (PST)FLAMMINGIDIOT

Themlocations just need some grammar corrections. As for the strategy you don't have to worry about that. Strategy is subjective and the rules there are more lax. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 05:36, 9 November 2015 (PST)

Chargin' Targe bug

If you've got time, I'd like to chat with you (on IRC?) about the Chargin' Targe bug. The current text isn't accurate to what actually occurs, and it's poorly worded and kind of misleading as it is right now. -FlaminSarge (talk) 00:49, 13 November 2015 (PST)

We can chat here. Plus I can't get on IRC at the moment since I'm on mobile right now.

First off, could you give me some reference to the bug? One of the reasons I removed the additions you made was because while it described the bug in more detail, it described it too much. Bugs should not be super long and should be quick bullet points after all. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 06:46, 13 November 2015 (PST)

If the point needs condensation, I can try for that, but I did want to reword it as the circumstances for it occurring were inaccurate (it doesn't occur EVERY respawn, where the wording implies it does), and the sentence itself is poorly structured. Not sure if I can provide a reference, per se, since nobody seems to record videos of the bug, but across any instances I was able to reproduce as well as any time friends reported they got it, the behavior was consistent with my edit.

I believe it's significant to note that it appeared at the map origin, rather than letting the statement imply that it appeared at a random location on the map. I also think it's significant to clarify that it disappears from the player's viewmodel, and that only that player can see it, as the current text leaves all of that unclear. -FlaminSarge (talk) 15:27, 13 November 2015 (PST)
