User talk:CyberShadow

The infoboxes on this wiki don't work at all with IE. Hmm. Try it yourself. -Lex 17:52, 11 July 2006 (MST)

Fixed. Also upgraded to the latest version allowed by my hosting (1.6.8). --Vladimir 23:35, 11 July 2006 (MST)

Um...Why have you mentioned a version of WA that isn'teven out yet in the wiki? where do you get it?

I was testing how fast would someone notice a leakage of information on this wiki. The data is made up.

Oh, and please sign your comments on talk pages, so I won't have to check the history to see who left that comment. --Vladimir 03:19, 26 September 2006 (MST)

Wormnet Server List

On your wormnet server list, FoeXnet should link to wormnet.foex-gaming.com , not wormsnet.foex-gaming.com (This is why it appears to be down).

And where did you get that information? http://wormnet.foex-gaming.com/ gives the same page as if you enter any invalid 3rd-level subdomain, like http://nonexistant-abcdef.foex-gaming.com/ - and besides, they don't have an IRC server running on either of the two hosts. So please check your facts before complaining, and PLEASE sign your comments when posting on talk pages!!!!! --Vladimir 05:24, 30 June 2007 (MST)

protecting pages

I've decided to protect the "installing on linux" pages so no one can tamper with them maliciously. The same ought to be done with other installation pages, really; anyone could change the link to the beta .exe with a link to a virus. I don't think there is actually any threat of this happening, but having the "locked article" message at the top of the page will at least let users know that the instructions and links are safe to use.

tl;dr version: MadEwokHerd needs sysop priveliges so he can edit the linux pages as he sees fit :)

I monitor the wiki's recent changes, so any vandalism wouldn't live more than a day. I guess it's a good point about the banner. Also MEH is now a SysOp. --Vladimir 09:33, 18 February 2008 (MST)

Hey just wanted to say that i created a brand new snooper for WA and its very nice.. its based on www.solixa.com client only ported to wormnet let me know what you think i would like to have a link to it on the software section —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solixa (talk • contribs)

Umm... okay? It's a wiki, so you can add it yourself. Write an article describing your software and add it to the Software page. --Vladimir 10:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

im not 100% sure i know how to do that.. not used to all this wiki stuff, lol

btw.. wow that was a fast response.. lol anyway you have skype so i can talk to you in realtime —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solixa (talk • contribs)

mission records

hey CS... i'm trying to clean up my webspace and get rid of stuff i don't really do anything with any more... do you want to save this somewhere or do you know anyone who does? i was thinking it might work as a page on this wiki somewhere but on second thoughts that might not be such a good idea. still, someone might be able to do a fancier presentation job than i've done with it :) Run! 16:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I reckon it can fit in fine as a protected WKB article or on a separate page (missionrecords.worms2d.info?). Send me an archive of the entire folder (I lost the FTP login credentials), and I'll figure something out. --Vladimir 18:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Sweet. It's up here Run! 18:36, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I assume you have it all now? Cause I'm gonna start taking stuff down Run! 15:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I just didn't have time to put it up. Will do soon-ish, thanks. --Vladimir 21:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I uploaded the contents to Mission records, hopefully someone with more free time than me can work on the style so it fits in better with the wiki's. Please add a redirect from the page's old location to that page. --Vladimir 05:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

wkFkeyRearrange

Hi. Could you please upload my wkFKeyRearrange module here on worms2d.info or somewhere else? And fix the link in FkeyRearrange?
Thanks. Boobl 12:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Muzer did it Boobl 12:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Request to delete Image:Supersheep.PNG

There is another Super Sheep icon called Image:Supersheepicon.png, which is the unpalettized version. So I suggest deleting this image and use the other one. Explorer09 14:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind. Deadcode has done it. Explorer09 12:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Bug Report (problems with registration on Team17 forum)

I tried to register on Team17 forum and report bug there, but I didn't recieve registration e-mail. I tried to register two times - first with unstable e-mail adress, which doesn't work sometimes, and second time with my Gmail. It was about two hours ago, and I still didn't recieve mail in both adresses. I didn't find "resend activation email" button.

So, that bug - I played Bow and Arrow online today. My team have custom grave set with TeamED. It looks like oil drum. When one of my worms died, someone thought that it is real oil drum and shoot at it with bow. Then, it fell through terrain and into water. I uploaded that replay here, sorry that I didn't asked for that, but its only for this use (to show you that bug). Replay here --—Preceding unsigned comment added by Drury (talk • contribs)

It's not a bug, it's a design choice. If the grave intersects with land, it will fall through. Arrows create land pixels when they impact land. The alternative would be to have the arrow magically vanish. It's pretty cool, though, that an animated "oil drum" grave turns into the correct "sinking oil drum" sprite when it hits the water. --Vladimir 21:52, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

So it cannot happen with default or not animated grave? --Drury 22:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the sprite doesn't matter. --Vladimir 22:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

First, this issue has been mentioned in the forum. You should read that thread before you post. Second, can someone finish the article named "Longbow arrow absorption by a Grave" (which was the glitch that made this design)? --Explorer09 05:17, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

RE: Weapon Cquotes

I can see your point. But on the other hand we need to really improve the weapon articles, especially usage and tactics. Some now tell only how the weapon works. Could there be a nav template in the end of each weapon article (like weapons in second generation or something) so it could be easy to switch between weapons? --Tiku-Orava 13:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

A nav template? Sure, I can help. --Explorer09 13:38, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how adding quotes would improve weapon articles. Also, where do you get these "quotes" from? I see some of them are from their Wormopedia entries, but not all. That doesn't make sense. Adding extra info as long as they are true, make sense and have value is okay, but people are not coming here to see quotes they could (mostly) read in their original... habitat.

Color problems

Nope, none of those work. And I tried all of them. Are there any more solutions? --Tiku-Orava 10:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I find that hard to believe. You don't have any terminatable processes in your palette.log and killing Explorer.exe doesn't help? Also, this is not a support forum --Vladimir 10:29, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Russian ReadMe

While translating the W:A ReadMe, I've stumbled upon a few things that were not entirely understandable (to me, at any rate). I suppose it would not be good to have any haphazard things in the ReadMe, so would you mind answering some questions? Cb14 16:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I should have probably brought this to light earlier, however there have been at least two Russian ReadMe translation efforts so far. I believe one of them was done independently on the worms.org.ua forums for the exclusive means to be included with a pirate compilation of W:A. The other was done by Mr.X and myself and hasn't actually been completed (IIRC we got stuck on the proofreading/corrections stage), however for the love of everything I can't find it. All I can find is the translated 3.6.28.0 section, here. Perhaps Mr.X still has a copy? --Vladimir 12:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Now, I sent him a PM on worms.org.ua forum. Awaiting response. Cb14 17:54, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

We've discussed this issue with Mr.X, and it turns out that no "Fixes" sections were translated until v3.6.28.0. Looks like I'm going to need your help, after all. Cb14 14:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but I can't even find the document with the translated features before 3.6.28.0. Anyway, feel free to ask questions regarding the translation on some talk page on this website, or you can find me on IRC. --Vladimir 15:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Template:Rename media

I hope this template could help people like FoxHound who want to rename files but couldn't do themselves. (Files can only be renamed by admins)

CyberShadow (and other administrators): You can watch this category for any file which needs renaming/moving. --Explorer09 14:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Article about poison

Should we create an article about the poison game effect explaining what it does etc, including weapons which create this effect and other situations with poison like sudden death? --Tiku-Orava 18:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
