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 - "I'm the doctor, I'm the patient. Don't forget that - it's important! If you love me like I love me, everybody will be sorry." 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

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)
