I finally signed up.

whoo hoo, ask me a question anyone Mikeyboy52 06:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

this is where ill add stuff i find weird on oblivion

on the map where it says the west weald, north the t in west theres a houses south of the house there's a floating lady's smock

I was north west of where you fight umbra and suddenly I fell through the ground, The loading screen popped up and I ended up in a room with 2 doors, not wanting to crash the game I just tried quick travel, didn't work so I saved the game in a new save space. loaded a different file and resumed game-play

on ps3... when wearing heavy armour and trying to pick a lock, the lockpick starts to move left and right quite violently at first, holding down for 2 seconds fixes it

managed to use a horse to jump clean over the imperial city heh heh, thrill tactics :D :D :D

Ran into the infinite lockpicking sound glitch today, man its annoying. Mikeyboy52 15:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

i know after 2 mins of that i wanted to tear my own hair out lols (Ranger 17:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC))

save and reload fixed it just fine MikeTalk 04:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I think its because I use the "press up, pause see if its halfway, unpause if halfway press x" thing. MikeTalk 02:00, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

What I did today

Today I visited a friends house and he has the pc GotY version of oblivion, He said He always wanted to raid a dungeon with his own little personal army. With the console (something he did not know about) after research and Imagination we created a little army and gave them a few spells. If anyone knows how to change there dialog to include a few audio files I have, could you post it here, if I find it, I will post it here. I owe my friend a favor, so I'm helping him create the ultimate role playing environment. Anyone know how to change dialoge though? Mikeyboy52 04:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Eventually my friend managed to do it, hes much smarter than he looks :P if you want to do the same, theres a guide, should be first link on google if you search "dialoge change ESIV"

Questions that I have that havent been answered, answer if you wish :D

Q:How can I change factions of a NPC with the console?

A:

Check the section about SetFactionRank on the Console Command Tutorial article. --Timenn-<talk> 14:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Q:How can I change dialog of a NPC?

A:

You will need the Construction Set for this, it cannot be done in-game. You need to open the NPC in question, and use the "Dialogue" button to see its dialogue. --Timenn-<talk> 14:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Timenn, now I can finally pay off a debt I owe :D Mikeyboy52 14:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Q:Is there any way to change the magicka cost of a custom spell on the PC without mods?

• If there's already a page with the information, please leave a link :D

Oblivions almost downloaded, if I can find out I'll post the answer here for anyone that just happens to come across my talk page :D

A:

Q: How do you put a "this unsigned comment was added by:" and does this require any sort of ranking or can anyone do this?

A: type in {{unsigned|WhateverUser|WhateverDate}} and no, anyone can add that. --SerCenKing ^Talk 10:41, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Thanks, SerCenKing :D

Chinese Flag

I just uploaded a new version of the Chinese flag, but because you weren't using {{User Chinese}}, it completely messed up your page. I just edited your user page to restore what I think was the appearance you intended, but because you were editing it around the same time, I can't be sure if that's what you wanted or not. Let me know if you need help getting it to look different. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 16:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

It's fine, thanks for "balancing" out the colors. The reason I dont use the "user chinese" template is because I use that template to say in chinese "This person can speak chinese" I'm american though ;D Mikeyboy52 16:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Above comment confusing. Meant that I use the "userbox" to say i speak chinese Mikeyboy52 17:04, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I tried to respond to this, but it got lost somehow...guessing I didn't save. If you look on your page, you'll see that I've used {{User Chinese|text=只个人会说中文}}, which gives you the exact same effect but follows the {{User Chinese}} preferences for everything except the text. Also, I added a {{NewLine}} to your page in place of the blank lines. The effect of this is to ensure that anything that comes after appears below your userboxes, no matter what the user's screen width is; blank lines will only work at certain widths. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 17:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Do you mind if I ask how long you have been editing wikis? You know quite a bit about wiki code Mikeyboy52 17:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

This was the first wiki I ever edited, and I started just over four years ago. For reasons far too long to go into, I gained a lot of my knowledge just this past winter, when I decided to get into Template editing, which also helped me to learn about a lot of the other more complex wiki stuff, like CSS, extensions, java, and the underlying MediaWiki code itself. I'm not quite up to the level of Nephele or Nx yet, though. :) ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 18:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

To anyone that can..

To anyone that can fix the userboxes without messing with the table of contents: Please do ha ha Mikeyboy52 11:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Isnt it already organized? --Arny 11:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Look at the "this user is from the united states" userbox, its shifted. Mikeyboy52 11:12, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Sry messed up your user page will undo it --Arny 11:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I fixed it ;D Mikeyboy52 11:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

TOCright

Not sure why you were having problems, but I can take the __TOC__ off your userpage and I still see a table of contents on the right. Heck, that's even how you've done it here on your talk page. Are you sure it wasn't just a typo or a capitalization problem? ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 20:56, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know you didn't need a __TOC__ thing if you used the TOCright template. But if you had the TOCright template than the TOC thing, TOCright would show a redlink. For some reason, if the other way around, it would work. Maybe TOC is for placement use... Mikeyboy52 03:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Putting the __TOC__ first, I get just a regular TOC, but I'm still not seeing a red link, no matter where I put it. Anyway, doesn't really matter. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 04:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Yup, it might take a bit to respond, I'm going through Xedilian right now, I just got my new imperial up to level 32. Felt like I needed that one sword right about now :D ha ha Mikeyboy52 04:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Help

For those that dont see it, I added an "incomplete" tag to my userpage, How would I have a box that is this shade of blue, where I can choose the text.Mikeyboy52 13:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Along with some template info, I found out how to do it. if anyone can change the "well get him mother" to red, please do.

Also, if you know how to change the following images, try it on my signature page :P

MikeTalk

I've changed the text (but not the quotes) to red. You have two ways of doing it: the way I did it, and the way you did it on the text just below the quote (with <span> tags). Ultimately, they work out to the same thing, but a lot of people, even those of us who've been at it for a while, find the {{FC|color|text}} method easier to remember and use. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 16:02, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Just noticed the first question. The {{Notice}} template is the basic message box template. If you want to match a pre-existing template, you have a couple of options: a) edit that template without saving it, just to see what it does, or b) use {{subst:template name}} and save the page, then go back and modify it. (You can also click on Show Changes (not Show Preview like you usually would) without saving, which would show you the contents of the template as well. Then you can edit the text before saving.

So long story short, in this case, you'd use {{Notice|bgcolor=#EEEEFF|border=#AAAAFF|...}} ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 16:10, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :D I looked through the unfinished template (the one i had at first) and noticed the "notice" thing Mikeyboy5216:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Since Nephele asked us to take the discussion off her page (waves at Nephele whenver she looks through RC), I just thought I'd address a couple of points here:

1. You can fix the superscript line-spacing issue by adding "line-height:0" to the existing style.
2. The problem with images is that not only are they more resource-intensive, they're also prone to vandalism. I mean, imagine that someone put inappropriate images in place of the Daedric alphabet. All of a sudden, your signature would become a vehicle for spamming those images over every talk page you'd ever visited. Not good!
3. If you want to show off your signature even more, or offer it up for others to copy, you can also add <noinclude>[[Category:Signature templates|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]</noinclude> to the end of it, which will list it in Signature templates for anybody who's looking over that list. I don't recommend it with the Daedric one, though, as it may give users the wrong idea if they haven't followed the discussion.

Have fun with your sig. ‒ Robin Hood↝talk 22:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Unless I can find *some* way of using the daedric alphabet without images, I'll just keep the signature for memories (learned a lot) Mike/|\ 22:10, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Finally..

Signature is complete... took me (and robinhood70) awhile, albino orc helped to, by confriming that image-signatures are ok :D MikeAKA Mike 16:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

well, almost complete, need to find out something by myself, a challenge, if you will... ha ha MikeAKA Mike 16:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

After being informed that the previous signature might be against policy, I chose a different one Mike/|\ 17:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

( Scorpio got pissed and blanked his page :( --Arny 19:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

The notable people is a good idea though, I'm almost finished with creating the page, after I'm done, feel free to edit :D Mike/|\ 19:20, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

After you create the page tell scorpio I think he took it personally --Arny 19:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Redirect Pages

Why do you have two pages redirecting to each other? ‒ Robin Hood↝talk 23:38, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure he was expecting them to keep going and going making them a loop and seeing if it worked.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 00:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Heh heh, to bad it didn't work.. there was 2 reasons behind it, one: to see what would happen if such a problem happened, two: wanted to "pick the brain" of the code.. Mike/|\ 01:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Notable People

Scorpio added Notable people to 3 pages and you only put chorrol, do you mind that I redirected your page to my notable people which has a complete list? --Arny 10:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

k, krusty told me to revert it but if you want to see my version you can see it here --Arny 10:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

The point was to have Chorrol as an example, so you could see the "section" in action, so to speak MikeTalk 17:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

anyone know if tesv was released at e3? Im dying to know. MikeTalk 17:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

It was not. It was ALL New Vegas.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 17:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Man, how about those new playstation controllers than? I know that 3D gaming took a big leap recently (with the 3D television sets and all that). MikeTalk 17:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Dont know didnt hear anything about the new controllers, they just showed the ps3's 3d capabilities, the 360 got a new controller as well as a new console Arny 10:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

It was the motion-sensitive controllers, far more effective than six-axis, they were released and I already got 3 :P MikeTalk 15:45, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Keep The Feedback Coming!

Hi Mike, I got your message on my talk page about using the preview button. Being new to the web site, I don't know how everything works just yet. I joined in about 2 days ago. I do use the preview button when I am ready to post message but I'll have to admit I've changed some of the stuff I've written after it has already been posted usually when I think of a better way of saying what I want to say about a subject. Anyways I appreciate your feedback, it will help me as I learn how to use this site. I am playing Oblivion right now on PS3 from a disc with just Oblivion and Knights of The Nine on it because when I had the GOTY version of the game, I was experiencing to many glitches and bugs that made the game for me unenjoyable. I did some research on the GOTY version and found that people were recommending playing from a plain Oblivion disc all the way through and then adding The Shivering Isles afterwards. I ordered the plain Oblivion and Shivering Isles seperately from Amazon but the Shivering Isles that came to me was a French version of the game which of course is no good to me. I was able to find a used copy of The Shivering Isles at a local game store and it was in perfect condition so I bought it. To make a long story short the plain Oblivion is playing much better and smoother than the GOTY version I had. Maybe its just my imgination or maybe those people who wrote about it were right. Anyways keep sending me feedback as it is helping me to learn how to use this web site. --Chris McCallum 17:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

noticed the changes to your signature, why not just make a custom signature? :D My version of oblivion (GOTY) plays much smoother. but I only downloaded that game on the ps3 no others. maybe clearing up your hard drive would work :D MikeTalk 15:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey Mike, as I am new to the web site I don't know how to create a custom signature. I added the Talk To Me in green to my signature by copying and pasting the code from one of your posts and just changed the data in it to suit my purposes. Where did you learn how to add this code onto the end of a signature? I think it is pretty cool but I want to learn how to do it so that I don't have to copy others. --Chris McCallum 17:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

After looking over the web site for help on editing, I realized the codes that are being used to generate these kinds of signatures are very advanced, not for the novice editor. They can be learned but as a beginner, I must learn the basics. I found the Sandbox and some basic information there about practicing your editing skills so in my spare time I am going to go there and do some of that. I am no longer going to include the green Talk To Me on the end of my signature as I copied the code that allows you to do that from your work and changed it to suit myself and I am going to remove it from my posts that currently have it on them. I need to learn how to do this own my on. Only then will I feel right about adding stuff like that to my posts. --Chris McCallum 17:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

To make a signature, you need to do one of the more basic things first, create your own sandbox, try "Sandbox1" and you can create your first page. there are called userpages. To make a signature put code on the page to show what you want your page to look like my signature page. Than you need to go to your preferences and use the {{subst:*put the page name here*}} in the signature section, than click raw signature. I'd suggest checking my signature page, and other users signature pages. I looked at robinhood70 and guildknights signature. Oh yeah, once youve taken all the steps, you still sign the same way. with 4 tildes.MikeTalk 10:16, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Got Your Message

Hi Mike, I got your message on my talk page. Am I supposed to respond to your messages on my talk page or your talk page? Anyways I found your response to my question about how to create a custome signature on your talk page. I guess that it would have made more since to ask this on my talk page instead of yours so the response would have ended up on mine which would let me access it easier. Anyways thanks for the advice. I've created my User Page and it is still a page in progress. I've created my own sandbox from instructions I found on the site plus a bunch of other stuff. Please feel free to look my user page and make any helpful suggestions you may have to my sandbox. I always appreciate the feedback. Thanks, Chris McCallum → Let's Talk 12:42, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Discussions usually stay on one page, with a few exceptions from what ive seen. If you need real advice, we have a mentor service, but im not really in it :P because I'm not that sure how the system works MikeTalk 15:04, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Customized Userboxes

I noticed you said that you were starting to work on basic templates like making userboxes, if you want to see how to make some you can take a look at my necromancer and clone userboxes, to get familiarized with the process.--TheAlbinoOrc^{Got_a_question?} 18:17, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, for now I'm just sandboxing/showpreview. once i get some better ideas Ill start making the pages :D MikeTalk 07:49, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Drawings

If you're still looking for stuff to draw how about a female Dunmer vampire in Shrouded Armor (or maybe elven- either one is fine) who's standing over a troll body in a large Ayleid room setting it (the troll body) on fire with a torch (she has an elven dagger or maybe the Blade of Woe in the other hand. Also the Blade of Woe should have a brain spraining pattern on it if possible). This is based on Mhira, who unintentionally became a vampire, she was working on getting cured though so her being a vampire is not necessary just possible. Oh, and if you could please put this up on here so that I can use it for Mhira in place of a screenshot (which I can't make- PS3) that would be much appreciated.--TheAlbinoOrc^{Got_a_question?} 14:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Sounds awesome, but should the troll already be dead or standing up? I think shrouded armor with a custom dagger, maybe a dagger version of Umbra (sword). MikeTalk 15:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I would upload all my drawings, if I could, I can't find a good scanner in china and photoshop can never have the same "feeling" MikeTalk 15:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. Could you take a picture of it and upload that? As for the troll I was thinking already dead. But you could try doing other things with it, maybe even a whole set of drawings.--TheAlbinoOrc^{Got_a_question?} 16:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

If I took a picture it wouldn't look as good, it would do the picture injustice you could say. Ill try my hand at photoshop though. MikeTalk 05:42, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
