When will we see...? (General suggestions thread)

[desmond_kof]

I'm rather surprised that its in that condition... I thought there was an ample amount of '98 (OG & UM) players... I can try to do something to assist...

I agree with that, I think it's time to start putting more work in the 98 wiki too, especially since the SRK wiki's are down currently, also since the 2002UM wiki has been filled with a nice amount of plentiful information.

I'll try to put in some work myself into some characters and ask around too.

Your image may have been too big. If you scroll up this page a bit, you can see Desmond's animated avatar.

Word... I'll see what's up with the img... I'm content with what I have for now (or am I?)...

While I'm at it, are smileys available here??? (My bad if they're under my nose and didn't see them).

I think smileys are not available, but when you post a new message there's an "Additional Options" thing where you can check/uncheck the use of smileys.

So i'm also confused and asking the same thing.

[nilcam]

The buttons and directionals are our smiley set, so no, there are no standard smileys available. I'll add some smileys when I get a chance.

Edit: I've added a few smileys.

With all of this talk of arcade boards, sticks, pads, and things of the like, can we get a Tech Talk sub section under Pao Pao Cafe???

[jinxhand]

In conjunction with the last post, is there any interest in having a separate Media Section, for videos (cmv, matches, etc), art (gallery) and other forms of media???

I'm bumping this thread to ask:


- When will we see a spoilers/hide option? Mainly to hide or "shrink" posts that are too long, or when quoting very long stuff or something like that.


Not saying that my posts are the longest around, just needed to ask this.


- Also something that i need to ask is if my email is visible below my avatar, because it doesn't matter if i check or uncheck the "hide e-mail" thing i still can see it.

[spoiler]You got spoiled![/spoiler]

Use [spoiler ], minus the space, for spoilers.

Your email is hidden from normal users but you can always see it. It was confusing testing that since I can always see emails.

I second this notion! While our numbers are small and even smaller is our tech savvy people, it couldn't hurt I think. I always like seeing people's custom sticks and discussing parts and PCBs etc.

I was wondering... how hard is to have drawn command inputs in the wiki pages? I mean stuff like  + > MAX , etc etc.

I think that would make it easier for non KOF or fighting game beginners easier to read combos and inputs on the wiki page.

[Giby]

Someone just has to upload them, then edit the pages with them.You should join the wiki crew and make that your job

[DarKaoZ]

I have never worked with Wiki, so I'm clueless on it. But it shouldn't be that bad to try it out. If I have time next week I should definitely try it out and see what I can do.

[nilcam]

We've discussed doing that before. There are a few things to consider. Many people find it easier to read hcb, as opposed to . Also, most other fighting game wikis use the letter notation rather than arrows. The other thing to consider is the massive amount of effort this will take. There are probably close to 200 hundred character pages at the moment. I would rather use that time to fill in character movesets for 98UM or 2002 or to get a Garou wiki started.

[DarKaoZ]

Well I was thinking of making some icons that show the curve instead of having individual arrows. That way instead of writing HCF you can just add ":" before HCF and get the icon. This is me assuming the Wiki page works like forum post.

[nilcam]

The wiki uses [[file filename.ext]] type of notation. Post up the icons in the wiki thread and get some opinions: http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=301.0
