Hi again. Phone calls from characters sometimes occur in between missions, sometimes it unlocks certain missions or things, while some serve no particular purpose, yes? Which mission should I place these calls, the mission that triggered the call, or the mission that is unlocked after the call (applies for phone calls that unlocks a certain string of missions)? What do you think? Please reply by tomorrow, as I need this information to work on the transcript tomorrow.

RE: Rename

Sorry WildBrick Russelnorthrop is only a patroller, only admins can move/rename pages. Ask a sysop like Tom or Winter Moon to move pages. ExtremoMania Talk To Me This Way 15:41, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, as Extremo said only admins can do that. RusselNorthrop(Talk2Me--Contribs) 22:00, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Images

They are just versions of already released artworks, but that's not the point. I removed these images becasue they don't follow the wiki's Image Policy, which says every image has to be with a licene and proper name. Your images didn't match with those standards, so they were deleted.

I sorry if that may sound like something "ruthless" or "awkward", but I'm just trying to maintain the image uploading of the wiki. -- ILan (XDEditsHome ) 18:23, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Videos

Hey Wildbrick. We only have GTA Series Videos here. Even though your videos are good, we only use his because of the driving and shooting skill and because he shows the best ways to complete it. Sorry for the inconvinience. Patroller Vault Boy (Message Me!) 16:35, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah sorry about that. An idea I have though is, if you begin making videos of GTA myths then you could freely upload them to the GTA Myths Wiki as we want someone who actually edits there to do the videos of the myths. Patroller Vault Boy (Message Me!) 16:50, February 6, 2013 (UTC)


Well if GTASeriesVideos doesn't have any then sure! :) Patroller Vault Boy (Message Me!) 17:18, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Pages with no info

Last time I checked, there were no pages without info. Check out the pages requiring Cleanup and you can clean up  usome of those pages.

P.S. I just saw you come online on Xbox! :D

RE:

It says that it needs to be re-written along the lines of the Controls for GTA San Andreas page. Basically open both pages in different tabs and Change the Controls for GTA III page so that it looks like the Controls for GTA San Andreas page. Also, your signature is messed up; have you tried adding links to it yourself?

VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 20:13, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, three things.

  1. I don't think you can have a signature like that, it needs to be small like mine.
  2. Why don't you add to your User Page to tell people about yourself.
  3. Are you into Minecraft? I thought you might be because of your profile pic. If so, and since I know you have xbox live, why not join the Minecraft:Xbox 360 Edition Wiki? I'm head Admin and if you get enough edits I will make you Admin too.

Think about it. VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 20:20, March 28, 2013 (UTC)


The signature is much better now. Also, if you want a link to the minecraft xbox wiki then go on my profile and click on the link on the my favourite wiki section.

VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 20:29, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid it's not likely you will have a chance because there actually isn't any room left. You'll have to ask messi about that VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 20:43, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Admin

I like your knowledge on making templates so I made you Admin on the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Wiki.

Congratulations! VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 14:21, March 31, 2013 (UTC)


It doesn't matter, you can still be an Admin, as long as you continue editing there, that is.

Hey Dodo, I noticed the other day, on the Fallout Wiki, some users have animated gifs as signatures, so some will flash and some will spin. VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 07:47, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

2003

Do you have any evidence that the prologue takes place in December 2003? Tom Talk 18:10, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Someone archived my talk page so I didn't see your reply. There's evidence for both, I'd argue that the date on the grave is the more substantial evidence. However that gravestone also says Michael was born in 1965 which conflicts with evidence that he was born in 1968 so I'm not completely trusting of the grave.
The planner could be outdated, and the christmas decorations seem like they've been up for a while, so it could take place in January. We don't know for sure. If it was in 2003 then surely it would say "ten years ago" at the beginning.
I'm not sure about this, but the general consensus is that it took place in 2004 so that's what I think we should stick with. At least until we get some confirmation from Rockstar, or find some overwhelming evidence. Tom Talk 16:55, November 29, 2013 (UTC)
I haven't contacted Rockstar in a over 2 years, but I don't think it ever took longer than a week to get a reply. Tom Talk 17:15, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Mission Templates

That looks great. Yeah, if possible give each template a colour which matches each games theme, like you've done with pink for Vice City - though maybe a less bright pink if possible. I can't think of any changes to make really, it looks very good :). Tom Talk 17:56, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Crop(Duster)

Well dude, i'll wait for more people thinking about merging both pages, but don't let anyone edit it, so, if everyone decides to merge, i'll just undo the last edit (AndreEagle17 (talk) 21:32, August 16, 2014 (UTC))

Warning

It is heard that the Cabbie is manufactured by Albany. please refrain from removing Cabbie from 'Vehicles' list, removing GTA CTW image from the gallery on the Albany page, and replacing Albany manufacturer to "Unknown" back on the vehicle infobox. Don't make an edit like that without proof because this vehicle is manufactured by Albany. XPanettaa (talk) 14:16, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

RE:

I can't have a video proof that clearly has the police chatter saying "Albany Cabbie". It is comfirmed instead that the Cabbie is possibly manufactured by Albany. XPanettaa (talk) 16:59, August 18, 2014 (UTC)XPanettaa

Yea but it was you who removed Cabbie from the 'Vehicles' list, removed GTA CTW image from the gallery on the Albany page, and replaced Albany manufacturer to "Unknown" back on the vehicle info box. And first of all, you said that possibly manufactured does not mean that it is manufactured. Alright then, I'm gonna re-add Albany on the Cabbie infobox as a manufacturer of the Cabbie and we'll talk. XPanettaa (talk) 17:34, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Manufacturer re-addition

I've re-added Albany on the infobox as a manufacturer of this vehicle, re-added "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and the Cabbie on the 'Vehicles' list on the Albany page because of the fact that most vehicles appearing from the 3D Universe to GTA Chinatown Wars you are replacing it back to "Unknown" you've set up, removing "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and removing the Cabbie from the list of the vehicles. Don't make an edit like that without proof. Now I gotta go. XPanettaa (talk) 17:59, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

RE:

What? it was't me, WildBrick142. What do you mean "said possibly manufactured DOES NOT mean it is manufactured"? I'm the one who is constantly editing with adding proof, so here it the proof that you added that. XPanettaa (Talk) 19:23, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

But I don't have a video where the police scanner calls the car "Albany Cabbie" nor the user of Youtube uploaded it. You're making it a mistake, right? The Albany badge is encounted at the back of the Cabbie as seen located at the rear left near the left taillight. However, it cannot be seen in-game in GTA Chinatown Wars. XPanettaa (Talk) 20:03, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Warning

Quit removing Cabbie from the 'Vehicles' list, removing GTA CTW image from the gallery on the Albany page, removing "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and replacing Albany manufacturer to "Unknown" back on the vehicle infobox. You don't have any proof that the vehicle does not have a given Albany manufacturer throughout GTA Chinatown Wars or the HD Universe. You demands the video where the police scanner calls the car "Albany Cabbie" but I don't have it nor the user of Youtube uploaded it. Have you gone quite crazy against me. You really pissing me of, right? You said that will ever stay "Unknown" until I will provide solid proof that this in fact is Albany, but I said that the Albany badge is encounted at the back of the Cabbie as seen located at the rear left near the left taillight. However, it cannot be seen in-game in GTA Chinatown Wars. XPanettaa (talk) 21:22, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, here. take a look.

You ordered it, but I don't have a picture of the badge on the car. The Albany badge is encounted at the back of the Cabbie as seen located at the rear left near the left taillight. However, it cannot be seen in-game in GTA Chinatown Wars. XPanettaa (talk) 10:34, August 20, 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations and advice

Hi WildBrick. I came here to congratulate you for your amazing idea of creating the mission template of GTA III and adding it to the articles. So, I've been wondering if you will be making one of these for the missions of GTA Vice City. If you are, let me know and I'll help you. Thanks again. --Thomas0802 • (talkedits) 16:33, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

Amazing. I'm busy tonight so I'll add them tomorrow morning (UTC) :) --Thomas0802 • (talkedits) 17:48, August 23, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I know that it is comfirmed that the Cabbie is manufactured by Albany. XPanettaa (talk) 21:11, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

Vinewood Souvenirs

Hey Wild. I was checking your new templates and I noticed some mistakes in the strangers and freakes template. The true name of the first mission for Nigel is not Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill, but just Vinewood Souvenirs and its Vinewood Souvenirs - Willy not Wllie. Just giving you a heads up before you post the new templates. Good work by the way. 558050 Talk August 22th, 2014 18h43 (UTC)

Removal

I'm removing your edits because of the fact most vehicles appearing from the 3D Universe to GTA Chinatown Wars you are replacing it back to "Unknown" you've set up, removing "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and removing the Cabbie from the list of the vehicles. You ordered the picture of the badge on the car or the video where the police scanner calls the car "Albany Cabbie" but I don't have it at all nor the user of Youtube uploaded it. So quit removing Cabbie from the 'Vehicles' list, removing GTA CTW image from the gallery on the Albany page, removing "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and replacing Albany manufacturer to "Unknown" back on the vehicle infobox. You don't have any proof that the vehicle does not have a given Albany manufacturer throughout GTA Chinatown Wars or the whole HD Universe. XPanettaa (talk) 21:46, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry!

I didn't figure you added it,but at least you could have removed that stupid relation from a private jet to a big cargo plane, my bad

Anyway, check the Ghawar talk page,please (AndreEagle17 (talk) 20:35, August 28, 2014 (UTC))

Your right you did not do that edit I am sorry. Owen1983 (talk) 22:22, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

RE:

Yes, really. I know that it is comfirmed that the Cabbie is manufactured by Albany and I always have the proof that it is manufactured by Albany. And you don't have any proof that the manufacturer of this vehicle is "Unknown" and cannot be seen it's vehicles throughout GTA Chinatown Wars or the whole HD Universe. so here it the proof that you added that. XPanettaa (Talk) 8:37, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Warning

Quit removing Cabbie from the 'Vehicles' list, removing GTA CTW image from the gallery on the Albany page, removing "Vehicles Manufactured by Albany" category and replacing Albany manufacturer to "Unknown" back on the vehicle infobox. You don't have any proof that the vehicle does not have a given Albany manufacturer throughout GTA Chinatown Wars or the HD Universe. This is your fourth warning. If you even continue do this again instead of quitting that I report you XPanettaa (talk) 20:44, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!

This time i just came here to thank you for editing pages that i did wrong on them, thanks, i'm glad you keep the pages organized (AndreEagle17 (talk) 22:05, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

RE:

I'm giving you the proof, so here it the proof that the Cabbie is manufactured by Albany. XPanettaa (Talk) 9:02, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I have even played GTA Chinatown Wars. So here is the proof from the game. Cabbie-RearEnd-GTACW XPanettaa (Talk) 8:47, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Oh that was hard to see, but i saw it, it's written "Albany" on the rear windshield (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:15, August 31, 2014 (UTC))

However, it is still irrelevant as the Dump has Brute badges and is manufactured by HVY, i'm neutral in this edit war... (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:21, August 31, 2014 (UTC))

Cabbie (once and for all)

Hey, what's up? It's been so long that we don't talk, but hey, you showed some pics of the cabbie showing no badge, but okay, i'll deal with it, i gonna ask Rockstar in their support, yes, i gonna ask if the Cabbie is or not an Albany vehicle, are you fine with that? (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:54, September 13, 2014 (UTC))

747 Jet

Hey, you must be thinking: "Oh, seriously? Who in the world would say 747?" And i say: "90% of the GTA Players say this", just think about this: The Interceptor is actually called Police Cruiser in-game, the Police Buffalo either, so, do they deserve to be called "Police Cruisers"? This is a good case we all can discuss, the 747 jet is actually called "Jet" in-game, but everyone would be confused to say "oh i took a Jet" and other people would say "which Jet?" so i decided to suggest renaming the Jet page to 747 to avoid confusion and having the consideration of the GTA Community about this plane, so, renaming it to 747 wouldn't be a problem, also, if somebody searchs for "Jet", they would go either to a disambiguation page or be redirected to the 747 page, i've been talking this to Smashbro8, think about this case (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:52, September 16, 2014 (UTC))

Nobody complains about the Shamal, everybody still says Shamal, but the case of the Jet is different than all other vehicles you said, the Cropduster for an example, everybody calls it a Cropduster, they even call the Duster as "Cropduster" as it is similar, the Tractor is called Tractor because in GTA SA there was no other tractors and in GTA V everyone calls it as the "Rusty Tractor", even you, i'm sure you call it as the "Rusty Tractor", but the 747 Jet's case is because there is about 10 other Jets, people may be looking for the Twinjet, the Merryweather Jet, the Fighter Jet or the Trainer Jet (as it is called Jet in the flight school), so this would be easier and much less generic for the players to call the Jet as 747, just like the Interceptor, the real life counterpart is also called Interceptor, but in GTA V, all the players calls it the Interceptor to avoid confusion (AndreEagle17 (talk) 16:18, September 16, 2014 (UTC))

"I just call it a "rusty tractor" when people have no idea of what vehicle i'm talking about" So that's the point, many people have no idea of what jet they're talking about, if they say "the fighter jet", another person will say "what fighter jet?" and they'll say if it is the Hydra or the Lazer, but when we say "Jet", they'll have no idea of WHAT Jet, so they prefer to say eihter 747 or Jumbo Jet, that's the point, and yes, everyone that i know that took the Interceptor actually calls it interceptor, and another case, what about the Air Ambulance? Do you call it a police maverick? I don't think so, the Jet case for me it's the same case for the Interceptor, the Air Ambulance and the Rusty Tractor, but the latter don't need a rename, as it is just a better definition of tractor and not an actual name (AndreEagle17 (talk) 19:14, September 16, 2014 (UTC))

You won... Again

Okay, i'll admit you won this one again, but please, do me a favor, don't remove the "also known as" from the previous pages, thanks (AndreEagle17 (talk) 20:43, September 16, 2014 (UTC))

San Andreas Templates

The mission templates for San Andreas are extremely useful. Do you have them for other games? That would be even better becuase then it could be on ALL GTA mission pages. Leo68 (talk) 21:03, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Wild. The mission Planning the Big Score is not in the GTA V template. If I am not wrong, this mission is suppose to be in the part 5 of the Trevor missions. 558050 Talk 18h50 September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Mammoth Hydra

MammothHydra

:)

MammothHydra2

Here is the date









What I read is that the Hydra was cut from the update release and is not future content. RainingPain17 (talk) 19:08, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

It didn't exist before patch 1.15? What are you talking about? look at the date of the video, it was launched BEFORE the SA Flight School update, translate the video title and you'll see (AndreEagle17 (talk) 19:30, September 20, 2014 (UTC))

Yes, the Swift, Coquette Classic, Miljet, Besra and the dropped Hydra was in this list, the whole video showed it but i agree that it's better to wait for the patch 1.17, just let the trivia information as it was a beta info (AndreEagle17 (talk) 19:47, September 20, 2014 (UTC))

Fine by me, no Hydra mention in the Mammoth page, i agreed, this thing that you said just happened before, in the High Life update there was some files showing the Pigalle and Dubsta 6x6 and they were launched after the High Life update, and also, the Huntley S (named just Huntley) was supposed to appear in the business update, so i totally agree with you now (AndreEagle17 (talk) 20:43, September 20, 2014 (UTC))

Rat-Loader

Now, before any discussion, i want to ask your opinion, what about we put the Rat-Loader in the "Muscle and Sports Classics" section in the GTA V vehicles template? This is because the Rat-Loader is classified as muscle in-game and it's more like a Rat-rod vehicle, but if you think it should be kept in the "Pickups,vans and SUVs" i'll leave it how it is, what do you think? As soon as you log in, tell me your opinion (AndreEagle17 (talk) 15:14, September 23, 2014 (UTC))

We can talk to other members to modify the templates like you said,it's a good idea to keep cars in their respective classes (AndreEagle17 (talk) 15:49, September 23, 2014 (UTC))

Kart

I'm about to merge the page Go Kart with the Kart page, but first i'm talking to you and Smashbro to tell me your opinions about the merge, the reason is because they share the same appearence,almost the same name and same performance, so what about merge? If yes, "Go Kart" will redirect on the Kart page (AndreEagle17 (talk) 13:13, September 25, 2014 (UTC))

I don't think it's that different, it's like comparing the Bullet from GTA SA and Bullet GT from TBoGT (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:42, September 25, 2014 (UTC))

Race infobox template

I have included the Rockstar created credit on all 63 Rockstar-created race pages and will continue to do so for the other 3 race types. I have no intention of doing any work adding the Verified jobs to the wiki (since I think 99% of them are abolute rubbish) but I can see the need for the field containing the username of the creator if/when those jobs are added by someone else who cares.

However, anyone coming to the wiki from a web search for information on the race isn't going to know that if the field isn't there in the infobox it is a Rockstar-created race by default. It's vital information for any race. Smurfynz (talk) 23:10, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Promotion

I know that you don't want to send a request for being a patroller right now, but as soon as you send another, i'll be with you, you really deserve this :) (AndreEagle17 (talk) 18:02, September 28, 2014 (UTC))

Merging pages (correct and incorrect)

So, I decided to ALWAYS ask you to merge a page or not, because yesterday I had a review about our discussions and I just noticed that you were right in most of them.

Duster - I wanted to merge with Cropduster because I found both similar, they're biplanes, they are rusted planes found in the countryside, they can spray pesticides, but they have a different model in-game, actually, only the name and the spray ability is similar.

Jet - Because of the in-game name, me and Smashbro just found the name Ridiculous for a big passenger jet, but if it's the in-game name, it's okay, it will stay named as a "Jet" until the PS4 version says a different name, like "Jumbo Jet" or "AT-700".

Kart - This case I don't agree because it's pretty much the same thing as the Go Kart.

Someone in the Buffalo's talk page said that it should be separete from Buffalo S, this case I don't agree because the Buffalo S is basically a new generation of the Buffalo, like in the case of the Baller, I call the 2nd gen Baller as "Baller Sport", those cases are different from Sentinel XS, because the Sentinel XS is a modified/Sport version of the standar Sentinel, like comparing Mustang to Mustang GT.

Some time ago I wanted to merge Turismo with Turismo R, but I found this crazy, because the Turismo and Turismo R have only the name in common, it's not just a different model, it's a different car, like the Ferrari 360 and the LaFerrari, they're different cars...

Anyway, that's it, I will always talk to you before thinking about merging a page, okay? Also, talk to me when you have problems with troublesome users ;) (AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:11, October 4, 2014 (UTC))

Re: template edits

Hey. The undo without reason was a mistake, I was meant to put a reason, still learning on here and entered it too early.

As for the templates, the breaks are more of an aesthetic thing, and the Flight School separation I originally separated them two with aqua and yellow as they were added in different updates. The ones which are aqua come from the original Flight School Update and the ones which are yellow come from this update  so I figured it was necessary to differentiate between the two. 

ToJ (talk) 15:35, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, the br tags make it look weird on the actual template site, but they were added to make it so the links to missions wouldn't take up two lines on the page the templates were featured on and in my opinion looked a little neater visually, even if it doesn't make much of a difference in terms of practicality.

Example picture  (because I just know I explained poorly): I wanted to make all sections of the template look like Gerald's does by default, as opposed to Simeon's, where "All in the Game" needs two lines as it ran out of room on the first line. Again, it's not too important, just looks better in my opinion.

ToJ (talk) 15:51, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

I saw. The side-missions were a good addition. I did consider adding the Strangers & Freaks to the template too but I couldn't fit them in (the group function in templates stops working after the 25th group I think).

Dodo

Hey, I just saw in a Rockstar picture on Instagram, calling the Dodo Seaplane simply as "Dodo", so, if the plane basically has the same design as the Skimmer, but it's called Dodo, does it need to be merged with the previous Dodo from the 3D Universe or does it deserve the actual page called "Dodo Seaplane"? It's all about the same name AndreEagle17 (Talk) 12:17, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, i'm thinking the same, but they may probably release both a Dodo plane and a Dodo Seaplane, if they do this, so the normal plane and the seaplane should be separete, but i'd rather wait until november 24...

GTAV Vehicles

I made a couple of changes to the template to make it look like cleaner, but also because you were linking the stock car variants to unexisting pages. Monolith Patch Rain - Talk SCS Freedom 13:30, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Nice job you have done on that template, I really liked that, players now will find the vehicles in their respective categories, but BTW I moved Blista Compact to the category "compacts" as it seems to be categorized as a compact, unless if it handles like the Futo and therefore it's categorized as a sports car, this is debatable AndreEagle17 (Talk) 14:08, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hard Decision

Hey WildBrick, I was talking to Smashbro and we're having a hard decision, but I decided to talk to you, as you're the best one to merge a page or not... Anyway, the decision is:

The Go Go Monkey Blista is a considered a separete vehicle as its in-game name and paintjob shows...

However, the Stock cars (Pisswasser Dominator, Redwood Gauntlet, Burger Shot Stallion and Sprunk Buffalo S) also have different names and different performance and yet they're considered "variants", the Go Go Monkey Blista shares the same performance with the Blista Compact, yet, it's considered a different vehicle!

So, we don't know if we separete the stock cars from their civilian counterparts or if we merge the Go Go Monkey Blista with the Blista Compact, in your opinion, which of these decisions are right? AndreEagle17 (Talk) 00:55, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Jumbo Jet manufacturer

That ends all the mistery, thanks, this leads me to think that the Jumbo Jet is really an easter egg, no brand, generic name, nothing so important in the files, no door-opening animation, unrealistic handling, yet, it has a more detailed interior in the enhanced version, I can't believe that rockstar renamed some vehicles but didn't rename the Jumbo jet, its name is sort of ridiculous for such a nice plane...

The last time I checked a vehicle's brand on the police radio chatter, it was the Dock Handler, police chatter said "HVY Dock Handler" and then I added the Handler's brand on the infobox. AndreEagle17 (talk) 14:02, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Kuruma and company

It was said in the IGN website that it was a Kuruma, I added according to them, but the only confirmed named vehicles in that DLC are the Hydra and the Hind (which I thought it was a Hunter), there is also a Unnamed APC. AndreEagle17 (talk) 16:19, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Well then i'm sorry for that, also, it was also a speculation for the Kuruma to be based on a Lancer Evo in the HD Universe, but i'll leave it like it is right now, i'll wait till the heists update is released, I can't wait to take my hands on the Hydra and the Hind AndreEagle17 (talk) 16:25, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

It didn't say on the video, but according to the game files, it is 99% sure it is the Hind, because it's based on the Mil Mi 24, also, I believed it was the Hunter, some other user added the pic on the Hind page, I didn't add it AndreEagle17 (talk) 16:39, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Vehicle images?

Is this just blanket removal or have you actually looked at any of the enhanced version images and compared detail visible? I have ditched far more than I am publishing because I think they were of lower quality, the one's I'm putting up are ones I firmly believe are good enough. Perhaps you have some pointers you'd like to share as to why you think the old ones are better?  smurfy (coms) 11:30, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

Cheers, so your suggestions to improve my images would be:

  1. Rather than a 1/4 view, they should be more af a 3/4 view with more of the side visible?
  2. Center better, don't crop, or if cropping, keep it dimensionally proportionate to avoid stretch
  3. Save as png ( do keep forgetting to do this)

Another thing I've been noticing that isn't as obvious to me when grabbing the shot is the depth of field effects and field of view options on PS4 are distorting the image quality (I don't think it's just the jpeg compression). I may have to take some time to try to replicate my trusty 50mm wide aperture lens rather than just relying on the default view setting.

Also, looking closer at the Akuma images, I think it may have been an NPC spawned custom version rather than stock - that carbon look isn't enhanced detail, it's the modification.  smurfy (coms) 11:54, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

I'm off to bed (1:15am here) but I see you are uploading a bunch of the extracted vehicle badge images. Is that in response to my manual of style update proposal? I realise the direct "elevation" images may be a bit of overkill but I think it looks pretty good, especially if we can line up the quarter views facing the right way to match (none of my test examples do that properly yet). I've just about got the angles right on PS4 for screengrab images (as expected, removing the depth of field effects and narrowing the field of view helped a lot with quality) but I just resorted to snapmatic for the test shots.  smurfy (coms) 12:23, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Glad you like the ideas. Badges... yeah, have just been discussing that with JBanton before he starts updating the MoS. I wasn't keen on both the gamefile extract and the close-up image, one or the other should be enough.  Thinking of including a damage modelling image. here is the best example yet of the new layout, with all images aligned in the right direction. Just image slots 10 + 11 up for possible change.  smurfy (coms) 11:46, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. What you shown happened nearly 3 months ago and I doubt I'll do this again.

And about this friends list incident, it was just about a warning for refusing to follow image policy, but he didn't take it very well for some reason. When a policy is here it has to be followed, and there are reasons for it. But TBH, this is Wikia, and not Facebook, who cares about friends list anyway.

Rain also gave me a warning about image policy while I was uploading the pictures, I couldn't even add the license before adding them to a proper article, so that made me and Smashbro mad with him, that was it, it was tense man, it's been a long time since the last intense discussion here.

The game files may say that it has three gears, but it DOES NOT have three gears, can you hear any gear shifting?

Well, if you play with sounds, you will notice that the Faggio will never change any gear, even using cheat devices, I tried by myself, the game files incorrectly says that it has three gears, but it only has one, it's called oversight, the Voltic may also be said to have three gears, but electric cars has only one gear, that's what i'm saying, regardless if the game files says, the vehicle has actually one gear.

Peace Talk

That's good to know that you made me understand every single thing about what is in the game files, it's okay now, but what I meant back there, is that a car should have a specific engine, but if we don't know if they are really V6's or V8's, we shouldn't also say that they are Petrol, Diesel, Electric, Propane or Burning Wood (joking), so it's right to say that this shouldn't be considered.

About the Faggio, it may have three gears, but it's not possible to change gears in the actual game, therefore it's considered as a single gear vehicle, that's why I said that, I think we should add something that can be done with a vehicle in the performance section, like what Monk does with several vehicles, he tests a vehicle and adds the maximum speed that the speedometer lists, an example of that is what you showed me about the Helicopters, they are listed as cars in the game, it's been said that they have a single gear, but helicopters doesn't have gears, they simply work, so yeah, I think not all info that we take from the game files should be treated as an actual information, i'd still say that the Faggio has a single gear because of its lack of gear changing sound and animation... About its engine, I never said it was electric, a similar scooter, the Ventoso is an electric vehicle while the Faggio has a gasoline engine. That's all I wanted to say man, cheers. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 22:55, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Sure, better be like this, about the engines, the reason I said that the Cartel Cruiser is a V8 is because of its sound and performance, it handles more like a Muscle car than a pickup truck, after driving this car, I told myself: "Every car sounding like this is a V8" with some exceptions like the GTA SA version of the BF Injection, it's a very detailed 1.4L 4-cylinder, the others are evident to be V8's, the other cars with different sounds are variable. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 23:16, February 20, 2015 (UTC)
Yes, just like this, the BF Injection is 1.4 in GTA San Andreas, but in other games it's a V8 as it can be seen, all the other cars with this distinctive sound are V8's, only this engine sound is distinctive though, the others may be V6's or V8's, the Deluxo is a good example, we don't know if it's a V6 or a V8, it sounds like a V8, but it's unlikely to be one, due to its real life inspirations, cases like the Deluxo i'd rather leave it like it is now.

That's a good idea, agreed completely, also, the usage of the Related vehicles are to show similar vehicles in the infobox, like: "The Clover looks similar to the GTA IV Stallion", it's not the best section, but it's a bit useful when we want to check a similar vehicle without going to the Navbox.

Vehicle Stats temp

See Template:Vehicle Stats to see what i've added, in the case of engines. MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 10:12, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

I've been watching what you guys have been doing with that template for a while now (with a view to my proposed vehicle manual of style updates) and to be honest, it's been bugging me for quite a while. I just haven't wanted to interrupt the work you have been putting in getting reliable data into there. But I do think it's being made far more complicated than it needs to be. Surely you just need to split the data into two rows? Defined vs Observed? smurfy (coms) 10:36, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

The problem is, it means i have to redo them all, is there anyway i don't have to reinsert the speeds, cause i am definetly not collecting them all again! MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 10:40, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, with this new table, we can finally solve this problem, in the "stated" section, says "three gears" and in the "tested" section, says "single gear", that's a problem solved :) AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 13:45, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Mammoth Hydra

I was right all the time about the Hydra :p but it was better to keep the info away until today... Man, i'm upset about the vehicles, all I wanted was the Hydra :( AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:23, March 10, 2015 (UTC)

Also, when you get time, could you check the game files and see if the Savage is really named "savage" internally or if it's named Hind? I suspect they used the handling of the Hind to develop the Savage. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:51, March 10, 2015 (UTC) <smal>no shit, I still refer to the Savage as "Hind" </smal>
Just saw what you said about the XBL, that's really bad, I can only play GTA Online on the PS3, as the PS4 need to be paid :( I agree that having to complete a heist to unlock such a historical vehicle like the Hydra is really idiotic. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:58, March 10, 2015 (UTC)

In case you miss it, now is the time to apply. smurfy (coms) 23:04, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

DocVinewood is considering applying. If he does, you can apply for his patroller positon but right now we have seven and one user is already applying for spot number eight. Leo68 (talk) 23:07, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

DocVinewood will apply very soon, so there's room for another patroller, this will certainly be you, we all can't wait to have you as a Staff member :) AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 23:12, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
It's available now. Apply when you're ready but don't leave it too long or someone else will apply! Leo68 (talk) 18:01, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

I swear that if I had an Xbox 360 i'd help you, and I understand exactly how it feels, I remember when I have done Rooftop Rumble all by myself, the other guys didn't do anything at all, they were just watching me kill all the professionals... This is really irritating, no actual cooperation. About staff, if you apply tomorrow or sunday, everyone will happily vote yes, including me, about the heists? Don't worry, the wiki won't keep you too busy to do them.AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 22:19, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Finally you made it :P hopefully, this unlocks the best vehicles in the game, now all you gotta do is work more to get the blessed Hydra and maybe the Insurgent too! AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 16:15, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

33 Million?? Man, the world is yours :p I wish I had all this money, do you have a Rhino, a Buzzard and a Liberator? I only have the Liberator, as it was a limited edition vehicle, I did various missions whithin a day, then I bought it, I still have fun with it xD AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 00:02, March 15, 2015 (UTC)
The world is yours, 33 millions is practically infinite in GTA Online, even though most vehicles are insanely expensive :p I gonna sell 8 vehicles when it's possible, all this just to buy a Hydra. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 16:08, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

Heists vehicles.... FOUND ON THE SINGLE PLAYER??? :O

Your edit summary says: "This bike actually breaks single player" and "this picture is from the single player"

Is this for real?? They can really be found on the single player mode?? Oh my god! :O AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:01, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

Heists vehicles jpegs

I was waiting to get high detail PS4 shots before doing "final" png format images (as per Leo's blog). The jpegs were just placeholders really.  smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 20:55, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

I think you should leave Sean to collect the images. We need better images of the Savage and Hydra, I'm not conviced they're perfect. Also, Sean could get some images of the Interiors of some vehicles when he's ready :) .  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeypolice188 (talkcontribs) Please remember to sign your talk page messages with ~~~~.
@MonkeyPolice188 Not really, the images are better. I think Wildbrick's Kuruma images are better than Sean's, however, the Savage's image for the front view to me is too close up. Also, the image of the Pick-Up Insurgent could be better. Smashbro8 (Talk) 21:16, March 16, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8
There are issues with both sets of photos IMO. As stated above and on Leo's blog, we need Enhanced version images. So far NONE of them have come from the enhanced version so all will be replaced eventually. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 21:20, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

Prison Bus

Isn't it slightly different from the one that was already in game? Also it is an unlockable in the heist, unlike the other existing vehicles that were added to websites. I think it should be in the table, but will see if I can do a side-by-side comparison with old and new 1st to see if there are differences. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 21:20, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

New Vehicles For Purchase

Hey Wildbrick. Do you know which of the 11 existing vehicles were made available for purchase among the release of the Heists Update? I want to add them to their respective vehicle purchase company pages (Legendarymotorsport.net, etc). Thanks! Smashbro8 (Talk) 01:01, March 17, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Enhanced version exclusives

yep, at least those 3 have new descriptions, transcribing them now. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 01:57, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Interesting... they all now say "Exclusive content for returning players". I will need to log in with my non-RSSC connected account and see if they have been taken away for 'non-returning' player accounts. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 02:16, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
Confirmed - Dukes, Blista Compact and Stallion have been made "returning player exclusive" in the Heists update. I didn't have time to wander around to see if they still spawned in traffic in Story Mode or not, but they are gone from the website in Online. Damn, that was a sneaky one. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 03:40, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Missions infobox template and objectives bullet points

Hey there. Back on January 4th, you added a field (todo) and did quite a bit of work to get bullet points to display in the infobox. I don't know if anyone ever tried using them before now, but today a new editor has been adding them to GTA III missions and I think they make the infobox look terrible. We have attempted to stop the guy from using them for now.

Can you give me some input?

Were you happy with the design outcome?

Did you intend for them to be used? 

I also notice the field only displays if there is a BP template used. A single entry with no bullet point is ignored.

Cheers smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 06:08, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Having slept on it I was a little less "anti" this morning and now I have seen your column-span changes I think it looks even better. For most Story Mode missions up to and including GTA V, it will be great. The problem is going to arise when we use it for Online Co-Op missions (especially Heists) where the "todo" objective lists contain all 4 player roles and their simultaneous objectives... example. That's far more information than an infobox should be displaying IMO.
As far as the no-bullet, no-display (my last point), when I was reverting the edits yesterday, I left some of the data in the infobox but removed the BP template but the field no longer displayed on the article. I'll do some testing and see if I can replicate the issue.
Cheers smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 21:41, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
Yesterday, before your latest updates to the template, this one and this one did not display the todo field at all. Now that the template has been updated, they show up OK. I'm not going to bother rolling back the template to try and figure out what was broken, since it's obviously fixed now.
That's a great idea to collapse them, but it's still a hell of a long infobox, even when the objectives are collapsed. But that's just subjective opinion on my part. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 22:54, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

DLC infobox

Sort of, but I didn't want to force the rest of the table into a 50/50 split. It looks better with the field name taking up less than the field content. Hence the embedded table to only make the "horizontal" fields split 50/50 while leaving the "vertical" fields 40/60 (or more). See Template:Infobox DLC1 smurfy (coms) 21:28, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

Yep, that was my next step on the test template, wrap all the "If" functions around all of the fields. In some ways I liked the way the Saints Row Wiki used custom templates for the infobox fields and was tempted to copy that idea too. I've just renamed that DLC1 template to a "tester" page that can allow us to make all sorts of experimental changes to a template without interfering with "live" pages. smurfy (coms) 22:26, March 21, 2015 (UTC) p.s.

You should have seen the chat conversations, RockstarFanboy said that he wanted to be an admin, even with warnings and not-so-relevant edits, also, if you check GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion, you'll see a possible troll.

Edit check

This one and the one after reverted facts based on your comments after putting the Online exclusives into SP (for photo-taking) back on March 17th. I can't prove or disprove since I'm not going to use any save editors on my consoles. Can you check if the problems still exist and revert the edit if neccessary?  Thanks smurfy (coms) 05:09, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Well, my original statement based on your comments made no mention of "save game" corruption. UI bugs=corruption. Serves me right for relying on 2nd hand info. smurfy (coms) 21:04, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Airplane info

Hey, sorry to bother you, but could you give me a copy/screenshot/document/image (you choose) of the Airplane stats in GTA V (Including DLC aircraft), that tells me top speeds and stuff? The Handling.dat files of mine only tell me their weights. MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 17:14, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Some say 10kmh (Duster for eg), is that correct? MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 17:55, April 3, 2015 (UTC)
Also, do you have the DLC Aircraft, as i don't seem to have these.
And what are the SPSMALL, SPMED, HIND, NAPALM and SCAMP? Betas i'm guessing... MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 17:58, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

A plane that reaches only 10 km/h :p see, Monk's idea to separete "Stated" and "Observed" performance was excellent... 10 km/h is really a joke, even though the game files claims that the plane reaches this speed (which leads us to think the plane won't even take off) AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:01, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

It's a bit weird to understand, but I got it. AndreEagle17 (talk/stalk/blog) 18:17, April 3, 2015 (UTC)
It's easy to understand, until you get to Mammutus, as the Top Speed isn't really there. Unless its the 0.60, or the 30.0 which is a little bit further out of line.  MONKEYPOLICE188 (talk) | (stalk) 18:28, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Template Color issues

Hey Wildbrick. We have a large issue with the Infobox Structures template. We want the background color black, and the text white.

None of the bureaucrats here are allowed to demote other bureaucrats. I have spoken to a staff member at Community Central. GuildKnight will likely lose any rights but if I'm not mistaken, Thai420 is the wiki's founder and that may be listed.

Hello WildBrick. Congrats for your promotion to patroller. Since I joined this wiki, I had noticed your very big contributions to this wiki. So, in my opinion, you really deserve this spot. Also, you had mentioned that you had been a Bureaucrat in another wiki, which made you deserve this spot even more.  By the way, as I am busy with the transcripts for missions in GTA IV,  if you have time, can you continue to add the 'mission objectives' in the template for the missions in the 3D universe, including the remaining missions in GTA III? Thank you and all the best for your journey as a Patroller. MC (MyComputer) 07:49, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

"Area" Template

Hello! I'd first like to say congrats for (most likely) getting the patroller postion! You've earned it my friend! The main reason I came here though is to ask you for a favor. I was looking through some pages (Outlook, Raton Canyon, Grand Senora Desert, shit like that) and I realized that there isn't an infobox for any smaller boroughs or areas in the GTA games. I think that something like this should be put on the pages due to the sheer amount of things like this. Maybe one for "natural areas" like deserts, mountain ranges, forests and one for smaller neighborhoods like Hove Beach, Holland, Acter, Mirror Park, ect. If you're wondering why I picked you in particular for helping is that I heard you are good with templates and subsequent infoboxes. Please respond! Thank you! Mortsnarg (talk) 02:33, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Apologies

Hey, I'd like to appologize for the way I spoke about you/refered to you in your RfP, I'm sorry, I wasn't intending to be that rude or talk about you like that, I think I exagerated it.
