Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 23:38, February 27, 2010 (UTC) Hello, ShardofTruth, and welcome to the Wiki. I'm very thankful for you getting those HQ, rare and needed images for us. Would you mind telling me how you got them so I could be a better help to the Wiki in th future?

Hi, I'm ripping the textures directly from the game with texmod and pcsx2. It's not perfect (especially when the texture is lit through an alpha channel, e.g. the Power material), but the quality is better than screenshots and most scans. --ShardofTruth 15:25, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

THANK YOU

KrytenKoro - "Space Corp Directive 195—In an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crew member must lay down his life in order that the living crew members might survive."  "Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'No chance, you metal bastard.'" TALK - I mean, wow.

Indeed, thanks alot for uploading those images. Much appreciated. ^^ Need anything just ask! Xion4ever Who am I? — 16:22, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Eternal Nothingness XIII - The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way. TALK - When I really need you, Ven, I know you'll be there. — 16:48, February 28, 2010 (UTC) Yes, your work has been amazing. Please keep the images coming. If you find an article that has the Betterpic Template or Image Needed Template on it, please do what you can to fix/find images! Again, thank you so much for your hard work!

Three images though, File:AP Boost.png, File:Defense Boost.png, File:Magic Boost.png. They should match the guide images closer.Glorious CHAOS! 00:38, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

No, I mean, the ones you made were good, they just need to be cleaned up some more.Glorious CHAOS! 00:52, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but your're right. These images are a bit complicated though and as long as I haven't cleaned them, I won't use them.;-) --ShardofTruth 00:56, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Dan - My friends are my power! — 19:13, March 2, 2010 (UTC) The images you've been uploading are amazing! Thanks so much! ^_^ Especially the ones for Proud Fang and Beast's Claw, the ones I uploaded were absolutely horrible quality. ^_^ Thanks again!!!

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? You know what, you deserve more thanks, so thanks! We really needed good images of the 358/2 Days weapons. As a thank you, would you like a talk bubble? If so, just tell me the character, colors, and/or quotes you want at the bottom ofthis page. Again, thanks!

Thanks, I'll get back to it.;-) ----ShardofTruth 21:45, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Hello and welcome to the wikia!!!! (Im late and i know it)I'm so bored 18:12, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Reward

Eternal Nothingness XIII - The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way. TALK - When I really need you, Ven, I know you'll be there. — 23:43, March 5, 2010 (UTC) You've done so much for this Wiki, and I think I stand for everyone (if it's not obvious enough) that your work is appreciated. To applaude your efforts would you like a reward in any way? A talk bubble or archive image, perhaps?

I think you're overestimating me, I'm just the picture delivering guy, although I'm getting better and better at it.;-) Writing the countless articles for this wikia is the real challenge and because I read them for so long, I wanted to give something back. --ShardofTruth 23:09, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Your pictures are wonderful contributions though, and to people like me, who have no image-editing skills, what you do is besically witchraft ;p. Anyway, if for the Days weapon images, I have a list of the weapons on my userpage. Bolded ones still need images, and italicised ones have images, but they're too blurry to work with. For reason I do not understand, the Lexicon section is messed up, so it's reversed or something. Point is, if they're not in normal text, they need [new] images.

Lexicon Images

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — This is, quite possibly, the best day of my life.... ever. Whether I like it or not, you guys are my best friends. — 17:50, March 7, 2010 (UTC) Dude, thank you SO MUCH for adding the images of Zexion's Lexicons. I've been trying to complete those pages for so long. They're still missing a few sections on each page but I had no idea where I was gonna get those images. I just thought I'd say thanks for uploading them.

The *

It's not part of the template. It's just an asterisk, explaining the use of that parameter. It doesn't need to be included.Glorious CHAOS! 19:42, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I really didn't know (and the Manual of Style didn't mention) that. --ShardofTruth 20:32, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Sprites

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA So where do you get those sprites anyway?

Directly from the game.;-) The models and the textures can be extracted.

But the model viewer is not perfect (it works for most of the weapons, but not for every object like the enemies or player models) and most texures have wrong dimensions in relation to other pieces of the weapon, so it's quite complicated to assemble them together without the actual weapon model. --ShardofTruth 15:48, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Aah, thank you, so who's are you doing next?

I'm completing the rest of the Organisatin XIII weapon sprites, releasing the complete Re:Chain of Memories cards sprites, upload better artwork scans of the KH I weapons from my own Ultimania (unfortunately the weapon models are encrypted in the game files, so there is now way to get better pictures at the moment) and hopefully get my copy of BBS at the end of next week.;-)

The next step is to get good pictures of BBS of course and help with other image request.:-) --ShardofTruth 21:48, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

where did you get this image: File:Decoy Soul Eater (card).png?--Xabryn 22:01, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

The picture was in the texture files, sadly no other hint about the name or use. Maybe it's no item card, but I found it between all the other "green cards". The weird color of the Soul Eater is intended though. --ShardofTruth 22:07, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

That's the false Soul Eater the player picks up after defeating all of Zexion's clones. The card is actually an Attack Card that stuns Riku when it's used. No Soul Eater Item Card ever appeared. - EternalNothingnessXIII 22:13, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I think I never saw this card ingame. ----ShardofTruth 22:42, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA get on youtube and watch a zexion battle. if you look at Riku's deck close enough, you'll see it

Does the Ultimania mention this card, maybe with a name? And does it actually allow Riku to attack, or does it just stun him?Glorious CHAOS! 01:50, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Here you go, that's all I could find. --ShardofTruth 16:56, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re:CoM Cards

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 22:11, March 15, 2010 (UTC) I've said it once, I'll say it again. Your image work is extraordinary. Rather than upload a bunch of new files, would you mind simply uploading new versions of images such as this (I mean what happens when you click "Upload a new version of this file"... : That way, it's easier on your and our part, as there are no replicas, and files are all ready categorized.

Two things

First, could you turn off the Rich Text Editor in your preferences?

Second, could you reupload the CoM images you added as "png" (not "PNG"), and could you reupload the Platinum and Gold Cards as "Gold Card (card).png" and "Platinum Card (card).png"? I know it sounds redundant, but the template's we use for the cards need that format to work correctly. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 22:22, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, the Rich Text Editor is gone, sorry about all the trouble. Is it generally bad to upload a PNG picture? Because I think most of my images had that ending. Secondly EternalNothingnessXIII wants me to upload better versions of the Re:Chain cards, he cut out (s.a.). They all don't have a "(card)" suffix, so should I upload them completely new or won't it make a difference? --ShardofTruth 22:42, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

All of the cards he wants uploaded already exist as CoM sprites, and if you can replace them with clean ReCoM versions, that should be acceptable. (Though I may have to rejigger the template to resize the images to 30px). As long as you always upload card images of the same size (preferably with only one sprite of transparent space between the card and the edge of the image).

The problem with "PNG" is that the templates that use the cards automatically call for "Image:name (card).png", so using "PNG" makes that inaccessible. It's weird, but it's what we need.

Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 02:29, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Do you think you'd be able to get the Bumble-Rumble cards, "Wind (card)" and "Honey (card)"?Glorious CHAOS! 04:07, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I got them, even the bee enemy card. Can you provide me with the names, the ultimania suggests?

I can't write (or speak) Japanese, but "Wind" seems only be the last part of the word.--ShardofTruth 09:25, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

The English names are "Keyblade", "Wind", and "Honey". The translated Japanese names are "Keyblade", "Gale", and "Honey". Go ahead and use the English names.Glorious CHAOS! 23:55, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Also, if you can get a good shot, could you try the World Cards and Reload Card? Or possibly the Premium or Roulette Bonus items dropped during battles?Glorious CHAOS! 23:55, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'm going with the English names then (I only have the Japanese ReCom). I have the world cards already, the Premium and Roulette Bonus items shouldn't be a problem either. The Reload Card might look pretty boring though. --ShardofTruth 00:09, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

There are two types of world cards, the big one from the level selection screen and the little ones in the inventory. I have the little ones already, the big ones are still to be put together.

Okay for the World Cards, the big ones are actually really good (you can see our World Cards article, for example). Please upload the little ones, too, but upload them under "File:World 2 (card).png", and replace the current images with the big images. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 01:21, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Funny question, but I don't suppose there's any chance the Jungle King had a sprite in ReCoM, is there?Glorious CHAOS! 01:22, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

If this card is still in the game, I maybe find it. But because SE added new keyblade cards in ReCoM I doubt they made an remake of this leftover card. --ShardofTruth 01:30, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

retry

Some of the images you replaced are not taking.

• File:Ultima Weapon (card).png
• File:One-Winged Angel (card).png

Hmm, I can see them. Maybe it's the browser cache or action=purge can help. --ShardofTruth 00:11, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, they're working now. EDIT: Okay, Black Room is still acting up, but it should cycle through soon.Glorious CHAOS! 01:17, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Oh! I think this is the last request - can you also get the two special Marluxia cards?

• File:Marluxia (Second Form) (card).png
• File:Marluxia (Third Form) (card).png

Okay, I probably I have the missing cards tomorrow. The 100 Acre Cards are up now.:-) --ShardofTruth 01:20, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sweet. These are all so awesome.Glorious CHAOS! 15:58, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Render Making

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 13:37, March 20, 2010 (UTC) Hello, ShardofTruth, and thanks again for your hard work in the image field. You may not realize it, but your contributions are making the Wiki a much better (and prettier) place :P Do you know how to extract in-game renders such as this : Dark Riku.png If so, I could provide a list of articles in need of renders, if you'd be willing to create them. Thanks, and reply soon :)

I'm not knowing exactly how it's done. What I know is that you have to unpack the models (mdls in KH's case and mdlx in KHII's case) and the animation files (mset) and bringt them back together in one program.

There are model viewers out there e.g. here or here, but without the animation the models will only stand with outstretched arms in the room.

To make things short: To get that specific poses you have to animate the models. --ShardofTruth 14:36, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

progress

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA got any of the arrowguns done that you can show us so we know what to expect?

Yes, some are ready, I added:
Diablo Eye, Dryer, Gullwing, Sharpshooter, Stingray and Trumpet.

For the others:
The model files of 358/2 days are standard NDS BMD0 files, but they have custom bone opcodes. Because of that all NDS models viewers I know won't display most of the ingame models correctly. That wasn't a problem before, because most of the weapons are either flat and can be recreated easily with the textures or are very simple built. Xigar's weapons though have to be displayed 3D to get a good look at them.

There are some weapons, which can be fixed by doing some editing:
Counterweight, Double Tap, Killer Bee, Precision, Star Shell, Stardust and Sunrise

But these are a total mess:
Armstrong, Bahamut, Blue Flame, Crime & Punishment, Cupid's Arrow, Dual Head, Energy Muzzle, Final Weapon, Hard-Boiled Heat, Ignition and Stand-Alone.

I wrote to the programmers of the model viewers, but didn't get an answer. The most promissing program, the nsbmd tool, wasn't updated since early 2008. And I myself don't know enough about programming to do it myself.

Sorry--ShardofTruth 10:37, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Image policy

The policy I was originally told was that we focus on the CGI images, and only use the artwork if it show something unique. For the FM articles, we have CGI images, and the artwork (while very nice) is basically identical. For the Days articles, I think we only have the artwork when it is to show the basic design of weapons with the same design.15:38, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Okay then, it's actually less work for me;-)--ShardofTruth 15:45, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hello and Thank You

MelodiousNature - "It's Not what you Say, that Judges you as a Person - It's What you Do." TALK - 03:34, April 6, 2010 (UTC) Hello ShardofTruth, My name is MelodiousNature or MN for short, nice to meet you. May I commemorate you on your images for the 358/2 Days Character Weapons. They have been desperately needed and you have helped this to happen. I wish you all the best for the future and I know you'll continue to be an asset to the KHWikia. Thank You for reading and Take Care!

World Renders

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 16:34, April 23, 2010 (UTC) Hey there. I've noticed all of the contributions you've been making with your HD image rips, and for awhile, I've been trying to get the best possible world renders that I can. A lot of our world images from the first KH are just scanned out of guides, and we still don't have a Castle Oblivion render. Are you able to get those for us? This is the kind of image I'm talking about: I know that the journal in KH2 contains a lot of the world renders. As for the first KH, even 3D models would be swell.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. No problem, although the quality maybe isn't what you hope for. I ripped the The World that never was images from Jiminy's Journal of KHII a while ago. They look like this: From page, where all world's are listed: From the world page itself: Logo from the world page (not complete, but completable): The ReCoM images are dissapointing as well, that's the biggest Castle Oblivion world image from the game: I upload a bunch of KHI world images, that I ripped from the European game site. Unfortunately the 100 Acre Wood, Hollow Bastion and End of the World are missing. Neverland and Destiny Islands look also strange. Neverland is missing the ship and Destiny Islands is just the normal artwork The 3D worlds aren't really a good replacement, I think. They are less detailed[[1]]. Instead I'm trying to get high resolution scans for the missing KHI world images. As for the world's logos, with clear screenshots I can deliver them all in a real good quality, same like this one: File:CastleOblivionTitle.png

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 21:06, April 23, 2010 (UTC) The quality of the KH1 worlds that you've uploaded so far look excellent. But yeah, TWTNW and Castle Oblivion are definitely too small. I'm not sure how you're going to be able to get a good Castle Oblivion render, but there must be some way. Anyhow, here are the ones we need the most: Destiny Islands Twilight Town 100 Acre Wood (KH2 Version) Atlantica (KH2 Version) Halloween Town (KH2 Version) End of the World Castle Oblivion Beast's Castle Port Royal Pride Lands The World That Never Was

Logo Request

First, thanks for your massive uploads, much appreciated. ^^ I know your busy helping GS with world images, but while stalking browsing the upload log I noticed you uploaded some world logos. Whenever you have the time, could you please upload a logo image for End of the World? Thanks! Xion4ever Who am I? — 20:55, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Days wishlist

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 21:47, May 2, 2010 (UTC)   Hey-lo. First off, thanks for all of your images. I don't want to sound too demanding, but there are a few Days images that are missing/need to be replaced. Panel icons for Perfect Block Block-Retreat Block-Jump Round-Block Air Rush Rocket Glide (We've got the icons for the Japanese versions, which are different) New weapon images for Two Become One The Empress Double Edge Sizzling Edge (I think the ones besides Two Become One are compressed horizontally from how they should be) Also, would it be at all possible to get images of each (multi-slot) panel so as to show configuration? I know you still have Xigbar's arrowguns to go through, as well as other projects, but if you could look into it when you have the time, I would be very grateful. Thanks again!

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. Okay, I got better images (at least I hope so). But I don't quite understand what's wrong about "The Empress". Mizumaru streched the image, so that the size is the same as the scanned card images. Unstreched it looks like this: I will upload the different configurations of the support and magic panels tomorrow. Xigbar's weapon have to wait a little longer, because the process is really boring, painfull and time intensive. As for the worlds and their logos: I'm still on it. I even found a good way to get the world logos directly from the game's textures in a real good quality.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 23:41, May 2, 2010 (UTC)   Thanks, they look great! The reason I brought up The Empress was because I assume it's supposed to be the same width as The Hierophant, which has the same design.

Multi-link Panels

Ooh, I'm torn between options 2 and 3. It most likely will depend on whether the images will be used in the body of an article (#3) or in a gallery (#2). I'll ask Kryten what he thinks about it. --Neumannz 16:50, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, go with the second option, but could you also do option 3 for LV Doubler, LV Tripler, LV Quadrupler, Magic LV2, and Magic LV3? --Neumannz 17:47, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

They look great . Nice work! --Neumannz 18:36, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

The Empress

File:The Empress.png: It looks like your version is of noticeably lower quality than Mizumaru's. Was his photoshopped or something?Glorious CHAOS! 01:29, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Panels

I tried to replace the sight unit on the image with the Power Unit, but I noticed that our version of the Power Unit panel (well, most panels) were pretty blurry, like they had been jpg'd. Do you think you could replace any that need, using this (where it's correct, though)?Glorious CHAOS! 01:00, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Done, I replaced Lon3wolf's contributions, the rest seems to be okay. --ShardofTruth 06:26, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Shadow - Pain and Panic Paradox

The guide says 70-41 for the STR-DEF. Is 54-31 from the Ultimania or something?Glorious CHAOS! 13:22, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

The values are from the Piggyback guide, the Ultimania has only some strange calculations for HP, STR and DEF.

The Piggyback guides says, that STR and DEF is fixed for every cup:

1. Pain and Panic Cup - LV 20 STR 21 DEF 11
2. Cerberus Cup - LV 28 STR 27 DEF 15
3. Titan Cup - LV 41 STR 39 DEF 22
4. Goddess of Fate Cup - LV 53 STR 48 DEF 28
5. Pain and Panic Paradox Cup - LV 60 STR 54 DEF 31
6. Cerberus Paradox Cup - LV 70 STR 62 DEF 36
7. Titan Paradox Cup - LV 80 STR 70 DEF 41
8. Hades Paradox Cup - LV99 STR 87 DEF 51

I thought that in the Shadow's stats the Titan Paradox Cup and the Pain and Panic Paradox Cup were mixed up. --ShardofTruth 14:02, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense. The Shadow shouldn't be more powerful than everything else in its cup, anyway.71.98.97.24 19:05, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Dimension Link

Can Upload Images of the D-Link Icons (The 2 Avatars and the 2 Symbols) That show up When you use them?

DL images

Could you also upload the logos under names like "DL Terra.png"?Glorious CHAOS! 22:46, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I got all of them except Vanitas. Do you think you could rip that?Glorious CHAOS! 23:35, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

It's not perfect but at 120px it works:-) --ShardofTruth 02:01, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Based on this, I think the black is supposed to be transparent as well. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 03:08, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I updated the image. It's really hard to see (even in the actual game) which part of the image is transparaent and which is not, because the background is almost black during the whole fight. --ShardofTruth 09:58, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Keyblade Master emblem

I don't know if it's a sprite in the game, but at least it's here. Could you either rip it from the game or shop it from the screenshot? Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 07:08, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again, dude.Glorious CHAOS! 09:57, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. But I should tell you, that the tools for ripping a psp game are still very complicated and underdeveloped. In BBS's case it's simply not possible to access everything at the moment. So don't get your hopes up;-) --ShardofTruth 10:02, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

D-Links

Thanks for Uploading The Pictures. But Can You Also Upload The Character Avatars?

If Erry helps we get them up in no time. --ShardofTruth 22:27, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

D-Link

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} I'll get to them as soon as possible.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} I've finished uploading Vanitas, Aqua and Maleficent's D-Links, they're found here.

Bright Crest and D-Links

And this might apply to the various KH2 item pictures you've uploaded as well.

Would you be able to post a version of the D-Links or Keyblades which have the black removed via photoshop, either through the wand tool or transparency?Glorious CHAOS! 21:09, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

For the synthesis items, could you add a white background? And is there anyway to expand the images to 128px like with the KH2 items?Glorious CHAOS! 21:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

The new Bright Crest looks really good. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 21:32, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, than I think by black you mean the edged borders or is is something different?

A white background for the synthesis items is no problem, but expanding them looks real horrible. This is my best attempt

--ShardofTruth 21:50, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, if you can't expand them, can you make the whiteness fill a box of the same size as the previous synthesis items? At their current size, they interfere with the thumbnail boxes.

Also, would it be at all possible for you to remove the chain from this image: File:X-Blade2.png? We might want to start getting images of the various Keychains, if we can.Glorious CHAOS! 19:18, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

No

I'm meaning to referring to who actually got it. Terra possibly retrieved from the Coliseum. But, nevermind, do what you want. [Ѧüя◎ґ]

I DO NOT CARE! Do what you want! I apologize if I seem hostile, but I am in a very bad mood! [Ѧüя◎ґ]

Again I apologize for my behavior here. You are the wiser one. [Ѧüя◎ґ]

Mushroom stats

Where did you get those? They didn't appear in the Bradygames guide.Glorious CHAOS! 23:45, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hm, maybe it's wrong to put the same stats in the after rescue column, an N/A would be more accurate. Both the Ultimania and the official Piggyback guide don't list stats for the three mushroom enemies after Kairi's rescue. It's like with Angel Star and Invisible but the the other way around. --ShardofTruth 00:20, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Command Styles

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} Hey, someone requested me for command styles to be posted for them, but what I was thinking if it was possible for you to extract them from the pictures? Or would that be too much to ask/be difficult?

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 11:57, May 30, 2010 (UTC) It's possbile and pictures of them would be great. But maybe we can save a lot of work, if we just take these[2]. I just don't know, how correct the images are in detail.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} Sorry for the late reply, I've got a picture of Speed Rave and that's it, never took pictures of Aqua nor Terra with their unique command styles. Hehe. Also, the way I'll be taking higher resolution images is by connecting the PSP to my laptop which will project what's happening on the PSP, then I can take a printscreen and upload the image to wherever.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 20:19, June 4, 2010 (UTC) I found the Speed Rave picture already, this is what I made of it: File:CS Ven SpeedRave.png Do you plan to use an adapter like the Vbox2 Advanced for the screenshot taking?

Hey!

Hi ShardofTruth, I'm TheLunarEclipse, and I have seen you are a very good editor. Would you like to be friends? -TheLunarEclipse

Yes, why not. --ShardofTruth 14:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Heartless Renders

I Saw A Render of the Wyvern Heartless You Posted. Are You Gonna Upload GC Renders of Large Body, Aquatank, Angel Star, Parasite Cage, Behemoth, Phantom, World of Chaos & Hook Bat? Kingdom210 18:34, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't find renders of Angel Star, Behemoth, Phantom and World of Chaos. All KH I guides I know use the artworks, maybe there are some in the Character Reports. I also didn't find a complete image of Hook Bat, there's always text in the way, but I see what I can do. --ShardofTruth 18:49, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hey ShardofTruth, Are You Gonna Upload More? --Kingdom210 17:28, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

All available Heartless renders are up now, I don't know where the missing KH I renders can be found. --ShardofTruth 21:06, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

What About the KHII Renders of the Air Pirate, Fat Bandit, Large Body, NeoShadow, & Wight Knight? And the Render of the Cursed Form of the Grim Reaper, As Well as the KHIIFM Renders of them. --Kingdom210 21:25, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

The image policy on the wiki is very strict, two pictures of the same thing are generally removed from the article. For example, there are three images of Hades on this side, the KHI, KHII, and BBS one, only the BBS is shown. If the images will not be used, I save my time;-)

I completely forgot about the Grim Reaper's cursed form. Thanks. --ShardofTruth 21:39, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well Then, Put The KHII Renders of the Air Pirate, Fat Bandit, Large Body, NeoShadow & Wight Knight in The Category:Kingdom Hearts II Heartless Images. And For the FM Renders, Put Them in The Category:Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix Heartless Images. --Kingdom210 22:18, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

That's not what I meant. The problem is that they show in principle the same thing and therefore won't be used in the article (because of the image policy -->you can find the discussion here). It's just a waste of time to scan, crop and upload them. --ShardofTruth 22:32, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Okay this time I think all official Heartless renders are online. But I am at my wit's end with the Behemoth and Angel Star images. There are official renders, but I can't find them in a good resultion:

If anyone has an idea please tell me. --ShardofTruth 16:10, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hey ShardofTruth, You Mind Uploading A Final Mix Render of the Opposite Armor? --Kingdom210 16:11, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Renders

Where Are You Getting These Renders? First, The Wyvern, Now, Giant Ursula. Kingdom210 18:56, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

KH Character Reports

Where Can You Get The Character Reports, Both Vol. 1 & 2? --Kingdom210 21:40, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Too many questions at once;-)

I scanned the renders from the Ultimania guide books, but even they don't have them all.

That's why I can only guess that maybe they're in the Character Report Vol. I, which I don't have, so maybe there isn't even one Heartless in there.

I don't know where to buy them either, but I would try Amazon or Playasia first. --ShardofTruth 22:04, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Help Offer

Kharon - "Not even the deepest darkness can shroud the connection our hearts share." TALK - "My inner darkness saved me when I needed help the most." Hello there, I would like to ask something. Regarding the renders you recently uploaded, I can't help but notice that the edges of some of them are rather rough. If you could send me the original page scans, I could cut them out with better edges and also, I am willing to cut out any future renders you aquire if you like.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 07:54, June 6, 2010 (UTC) Yeah, you're right, I'm not really good with the lasso tool. I gladly accept your offer.

Kharon - "Not even the deepest darkness can shroud the connection our hearts share." TALK - "My inner darkness saved me when I needed help the most." Could you upload all the pages you have scanned with renders on them to an image hosting site? Even the ones with renders you've already uploaded?

Kharon - "Not even the deepest darkness can shroud the connection our hearts share." TALK - "My inner darkness saved me when I needed help the most." Also another thing, I don't use the Lasso tool, instead I use the Pen tool, it's more precise and you get better results that way.

Can you help me?

How can you tell of the Unversed's emotions by there eyes? Can you tell us? User:Edgeshadow

Not really I'm afraid. I'm not better with emicons than the next guy. --ShardofTruth 07:55, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Olympus Coliseum

Could you get higher quality images for the KHII world and logo for Olympus Coliseum? The ones we have now are pretty ugly. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 20:28, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

In the next few days I will upload better versions of the logos but I'm still searching for good KH II world images.--ShardofTruth 00:26, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Just to ask, are the logos without the black fog when they appear in the game?Glorious CHAOS! 03:03, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Most of them are (for example the Olympus Coliseum logo), but others are simply not complete without some black fog (The Radiant Garden's logo needs it). I'm puting them together with the extracted textures (4-5 per logo) and a comparison screenshot from the game.--ShardofTruth 06:38, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I went through all the world images. These are the ones that need to have high quality, preferably large, transparent background png replacements. Take as long as you need. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 06:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Could you replace TLoD with this image, in transparent?Glorious CHAOS! 02:10, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I can't find better images for the KHII worlds, but maybe they are on the KHII official site?

Also, could you replace the Twilight Town image by ripping it from ReCoM? I'll see if I can find a better image, though.Glorious CHAOS! 02:14, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

This is the English site, but with the off-the-web flash program I have, I can't find the images used in the worlds section - just the basic background stuff. It might, possibly, be images from the server itself.Glorious CHAOS! 02:48, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Here we go.Glorious CHAOS! 02:49, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Weird, I still can't access the background, large world images. Are you good with flash?Glorious CHAOS! 02:56, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Found direct images, on the Japanese site: here. They're small, though, and they might be the original images we already use here.Glorious CHAOS! 03:05, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I ripped the world images from the NA site before, they all have a bluish cast and are cropped (to save memory).

You're right about the Japanese site pictures, for Disney Castle, Atlantica and Olympus Coliseum they are already used here. I don't remember if the European KHII site had better pictures, but I think it hadn't and the site is offline too with nothing useful to retrieve by the Wayback Machine.

I didn't upload the Twilight Town texture from Re:CoM before, because it looks awkward.

Because the textures from KHII provide only picture with the same quality we already have (or even worse), I think the best solution would be high resolution scans from the guide books. I'm planning to do them in the near future (with the missing enemies) and see what that brings. But at the moment I'm a little busy with university. --ShardofTruth 15:43, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Could you upload a version with white background? From a quick glance, most of the other character images have white backgrounds.Glorious CHAOS! 21:15, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Time Bombs

About the image you uploaded, these aren't all Time Bombs. Time Bombs are the ones that have a clock-shaped head. Would it be possible to get a separate image of these three Nobodies? - EternalNothingnessXIII 10:53, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Do you know the names of the other two? --ShardofTruth 12:43, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think they were ever named. They appear to be stronger versions of other Gummi Ship enemies. Try to find ones with a similar attack style and appearance in a Gummi Mission. I'd assume their stronger versions of those. - EternalNothingnessXIII 13:04, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Gummi Enemies

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? You're doing great work as always, ShardofTruth. Would it be at all possible for you to get images for all of the Gummi enemies (at least in KHII, since we don't have articles for the KHI ones)? Do this at your own leisure, since I know you probably have a big workload already, but it would be a great help to imporving those articles.

Kingdom Hearts Images

Where Are You Getting These Never Before Seen Images? Like The Keyblades from the Keyblade Graveyard You Just Posted. --Kingdom210 21:20, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm beginning to extract the textures from BBS now. It's tedious and without proper tools I'm doing it practically blind. Sometimes I find something useful, like these images or the 100 Acre Wood book. Sadly all model textures are useless without being able to render the models (which is not possible at the moment). So I'm only looking for plain textures like items, the hud images or the Awakening stations. --ShardofTruth 21:31, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Riku Replica

Could you possibly create a better render picture of the Riku Replica? If you could that would be great! [Ѧüя◎ґ]

That is all I can do, maybe a little better than the picture now, but definitly not SE quality. --ShardofTruth 22:52, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

File:NaminesNotebook-TheSymbols.png

Could you upload this with invisible background as "File:GalleryHeader Icon.png"? Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 20:04, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Done. A different angle on the sketch book wouldn't be a problem either. --ShardofTruth 00:08, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hm. DTN changed the gallery header template to use File:NaminesNotebook-CastleOblivion.png as well. I guess, can you invisible that one, and maybe flip it?Glorious CHAOS! 01:09, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

File:GalleryHeader Icon 2.png I tried to make the angle and the picture size the same. I hope you like it:-) --ShardofTruth 15:14, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

The server seems to have mysteriously dropped the image, like you never uploaded it, but the page is still there. Could you please re-upload this, ShardofTruth? --^DTN 16:51, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Behemoth

Would you be able to use this as a temporary render?[3]Glorious CHAOS! 18:20, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

That would be no problem, I even could get a better picture. I didn't upload such an image before, because it could be considered a fanwork. The pose from the official artwork seem to be a custom animation and is not stored in the game files. --ShardofTruth 18:34, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Direct game-rips should be acceptable, even though the official render is still preferable if we can ever get it?Glorious CHAOS! 19:13, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I get those and the Timeless River/Halloween Town/Space Paranoids appearances of the other enemies. But it might take some time, because I have all the gummi stuff pictures still lying around. --ShardofTruth 20:31, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

List of Needed Renders

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 18:35, June 27, 2010 (UTC) Hey, I thought I'd just give you a list of renders that we still need, whether they still haven't been uploaded or if they just need bigger/better quality replacements: Oogie's Manor (Boss) Angel Star World of Chaos Main Core Room Core Behemoth Groundshaker (The current one is actually an edit.) Shadow Stalker (We need the actual guide version.) Possessor Storm Rider Armored Knight Devastator Magnum Loader Nightwalker Hot Rod Aeroplane Graveyard Luna Bandit Morning Star Cannon Gun Hammer Frame Minute Bomb Trick Ghost Rabid Dog Silver Rock Crimson Jazz Shadow Sora Xemnas (Boss) (Armored Controller) Xemnas (Boss) (Dragon Form) Marluxia (Second Form) Marluxia (Third Form)

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 20:31, June 27, 2010 (UTC) These don't have official renders, even the Ultimanias use screenshots: World of Chaos Main Core Room Core Xemnas (Boss) (Armored Controller) Xemnas (Boss) (Dragon Form) Marluxia (Second Form) Marluxia (Third Form) So all I could get would be better screenshots, real model images might be possible, but the viewer has problems with some of them.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 21:05, June 27, 2010 (UTC) Good model images are probably ideal, but if not, at least go with better screenshots, yeah.

Personal favor?

Could you make the white backgrounds for the scroll sprites here invisible, and then link me to where you upload them?

If it's a bother, then never mind. Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 19:10, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Face

I can't figure out why, but somehow the server lost your upload of the World of Chaos Face. I've deleted the old image to prevent any more errors, but could you reupload your version to "File:World of Chaos - Face.png"? Thanks!Glorious CHAOS! 22:00, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ultimania ReCoM

Would you be able to grab shots of the boss strategy sections, or at least the parts that list their sleights? (Also anything that gives a name to Marluxia's vehicle, if you can). I'll start adding these stats to the thing, though.Glorious CHAOS! 23:27, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

You're right. The Wight Knight image seems also to be different, that's strange. At the moment I'm busy with BBS images, but I will keep them in mind. --ShardofTruth 07:12, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

X-blade images

It looks like the chain was pieced together incorrectly (or hell, missing pieces). However, it also looks like he didn't clean up the grey around the chainlinks. Could you get that? Also, could you do the rotate+invisible to the Vanitas, Xehanort, Vanitas-Sentiment, and Eraqus Keyblades?Glorious CHAOS! 01:02, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

I can do that, no problem. Adding a keychain is also not problem, because it's just a plain texture which I have access to now. But I think, we should give Dsfgd a bit more time. He cracked the model files and somehow canput the code a viewer to get a good result. Maybe he can solve that problem too. --ShardofTruth 15:52, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
