There. I archived your talk page :D Now I can actually post on your page and SEE what I posted XD SeaCrane_1 03:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hunter lol... and should I keep the really weird Special category or move all the pages in it to a much more explanatory NX Function Items category? I think Special really isn't a very good category name tbh... SeaCrane_1 03:36, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

I believe Sea crane archived it. And at...usually its User talk:ZeroExalted/Archive 19:44, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Affiliates
The following is off the record; Should we start having open talks with combatarms HQ? Athough it appears they are our rivals, they dont specialize in CA information, only the community aspect. And we (mostly) specialize in info. So why dont we partner up. A big part of the deal though, would be us obtaining their dynamic signature source code.

Hey, I might not be able to make many edits over the summer. My mom is being Azn on me. She says my eyesight is too poor to be looking at a comp all day. The least I'll be allowed to do it play Combat Arms.--WingZeroKai 14:53, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Still they have a working dynamic signature code, which im trying to obtain from The CBL. If we get some sort of working dynamic source code we have a chace of having an CAWikia branded dynamic signature. 16:19, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Creation of The Board
Zero;

I formally request permission to create (and head) The Board of Projects. Basically, the board would have control over what different projects would be running around the wiki. Previously, I would just start and work on separate projects by myself. Take the Forums or the (semi-successful) Advertising Committee.

There needs to be some sort of authority over what happens on those projects to connect all of the creators and tie ideas together. The Board would not have unlimited control over the whole wiki, just the small details and templates, and would have the (second to final) say over template layouts, MediaWiki Interface, and off-site activities (take the CBL or See Next). I ask to form this Board because we currently have two abstract ideas underway; the Dynamic Signature Project (DSP) and the Offsite Template and Information Project (OTIP), and one fully developed idea that is having the technical aspects of it being pounded out; the Gun Rating Index Project (tGRIP).

There is little actually happening on the DSP, currently we are collecting and modifying Dynamic Signature Code from the CBL. I have had no luck myself with it, but a good-willed wikian has offered to help.

As with the DSP, the OTIP is an abstract idea that me and Quaranon are discussing. Basically it would draw stats from the Combat Arms website and turn that data into usable wikidata autonomously. The offsite server we would be using would be rstools.atx, which would draw data from the CA website, then use a wiki-bot (namely QBot) to write that data into templates. We could, in theory, draw player stats, gun stats, or even generate and update a list of the top players and clans with their relative exp (and lists of players in a clan).

tGRIP (pronounced “tee-grip”) takes a gun, and rates it based on damage, portability, RoF, recoil, accuracy, number of bullets, fire rate options, and other special categories. It then gives it a number based on 100 where 100 is average, <100 is below average, and >100 is above average. I can’t give away the “secret sauce” code yet, but I can give you a sample. The Damage rating for an assault rifle is

“(Damage/Average AR damage)*30”

The beauty of tGRIP is that, as more AR’s are added, Other AR’s GRI’s rating either falls or rises. So as better guns are added, other guns GRI’s fall because their worse than the newer ones. The opposite is also true. And there are different categories. A sniper rifle’s GRI depends more on Damage and Accuracy, while a SMG’s depends more on fire rate and portability; the qualities that their respected users look for in the gun they prefer. To compare say a sniper rifle with an MG (where there is normally two separate categories), there is a Universal Gun Rating Index, which sees all stats as equal and compares them number for number. Generally though, you would use specific categories to get a rating for a gun. For more information on tGRIP, see this page.

The Board of Projects would oversee these and many other projects. It would allow a person who is doing a project to get help and tie it with other projects. Imagine if all of the different things going on were tied together. Suddenly all of the different pathways become accessible from one central crossroads. It allows a forum, so to speak, for people to get help or give help with things that would improve the Wiki. Take tGrip for example; the only thing setting me back from putting it into place is that I need a master list of EVERY GUN including all stats (IE damage, total ammo count, integrated scope, etc.). That is a lot of work for one person. The Board’s page would have a list of projects that need help, and tGRIP would be at the top of that list, simply because it would make our CA site unique if we had a functional and accurate way to rate guns based on fact, and not “I like this gun more because it looks cool”.

Your “Executive” decision (shall we say) would obviously override whatever decision the Board makes. You the active, and to me and most of the active community, the only, Bureaucrat are here to help grow the community. You want what’s best for the community, and so do I, only I want to smoke out CAHQ and blow it out of the water >=). I’m more of a business person. I think, “Holy Shitake has an average of 2k views a video; we have 35k people looking at our site each month; If we pare up we get 5% more viewers and he becomes a face for the CAWiki. He gets more views and therefore more subscribers, and he becomes famous (if not more so).” We could have approached FallenHobo, who gets 10k views per vid, but he doesn’t have as much incentive to stay with us. Holy Shitake on the other hand greatly benefits from our partnership, so he WANTS to stay with us. Look at it like this; We partner up, we get quality reviews, he gets more vid views from our site, which in turn, makes his youtube search ranking go up, which means he gets more popular, and as more people watch him, they see our logo, and they go to our site.

The Board would be democratic, somewhat like a board of trustees. We would vote on which projects get precedence over others. We would make committees for different things (like the Advertising committee). We could come up with wonderful things and vote whether to implement them or not. Let’s say tGRIP has been written and the only thing that remains was cosmetics. How would we present tGrip? The Board would vote on that, though I already think tGRIP would be an adding to the standard gun description box; under a subsection that lists (for the G36E);

Assault Rifle GRI Rating: 110

Universal GRI Ration:105

The Board would act as a substitution for when you’re unavailable. Say if you’re gone and the CBL wants to cut a deal with us? We can’t put them on hold. We would leave a message on your talk page and if there was no response from you within two days the Administrators on The Board could make a decision on your behalf.

Votes would be counted in the following way;

B’crat = 2.2 counts

Head of Board = 1.1 counts

Others on Board = 1 count

Having the 2.2 and 1.1 votes prevents any ties on votes, and efficiently requires three trusted admins to make a decision for you. You could easily override any

It probably seems silly to have such a large “Committee” on a small wiki. But as the CAWiki grows, it would provide structure. Projects would have a home subpage on the Board of Projects Page. So tGRIP’s page would be

“CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index”. Then there would be subpages arranged according to the project’s designer. It would be somewhat of a standard setup though. There would be a requirement that would be set to have an index of pages in a project’s subspace. The index would be called “Page List”. tGRIP’s page list url would be: “CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index/Page List”. It is there to serve as a reference for all pages. Acknowledging that tGRIP alone would have at least 700 subpages (the number of guns in Combatarms multiplied by five to seven) listing separate guns and stats that could be automatically read by the MediaWiki software.

An example of a clean layout would be (for tGRIP, and with comments on whats its function):

CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index/variables/sniperrifle/average/damage;

(lists average damage for sniper rifles; used to rate sniper’s damage rating compared to others);

CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index/variables/machinegun/average/portability;

(lists average portability for machine guns; used to rate MG’s portability rating compared to others)

CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index/stat/sniperrifle/l96a1blackmagnum/damage;

(lists damage of a Black Magnum)

Note the standard layout. And how after viewing a few page urls you understand where a G36E Valkyrie’s damage rating would be (CAWiki:Board of Projects/Project/Gun Rating Index/variables/stat/assaultrifle/g36evalkyrie/damage). That way you could use a template to say that “The G36E Valkyrie is one of the most used guns in Combat Arms, and has an Assault Rifle GRI of. As the GRI for the Valk changes, so would the number listed on the page.

As previously stated, I’m still working out the kinks on tGRIP, but hopefully, guns with average ratings would have their number gold (for yellow), numbers with worse GRI’s would have red, and great GRI’s would have green numbers. Also, hopefully, I could setup a system for distinguishing the best gun in CA overall (judged by the Universal GRI), best gun in class (Sniper Rifles for example), best gun in Category (Portability for example, judged by Universal GRI), and add awards (say a platinum, gold, or silver star respectively) to the Gun Box on its page.

Please either accept or reject the creation of the board. I am already starting to create the necessary pages for tGRIP. -Hunter --~

Vandalising?
ARevolvingDoor 03:35, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Lol, I just have a quick question, so here goes:

Why is it that I get a mesage welcoming me to the wiki periodically, and there's always something that says I have one more warning before I'm banned for vandalising, and it says that it was issued in March. I don't know what you're talking about. The only Wiki that I've ever vandalized was the regular Wikipedia, and every time I've ever edited on this wiki was to help contribute. Could you make light of this for me?


 * Done. you know you can do it yourself right? Its MediaWiki:Sitenotice. Just edit the place thats in between the

Zero, go to my user page (then scroll to the bottom and clcik the centered link), then scroll to the bottom of that page and look at the picture.

Lol to smexy trickery. But yeah, you can get the BM renewed for permy. Lol i chestshotted a guy and he saw the damage i did to him and he's like "But that wasnt a headshot!".

New Image Code
User:Quarenon has developed a way for us to use CA's 'official' profile pictures of us on the wiki; they will automatically update depending on what you have equipped. Just place the following link on your page (with no brackets) modified to your characters name in Combat Arms: http://rstools.ath.cx/combatarms/avatar/ (yourCAnamehere) .png Therefore my character image would be: http://rstools.ath.cx/combatarms/avatar/H_Fern.png And would result in: http://rstools.ath.cx/combatarms/avatar/H_Fern.png

 * I was wondering if i should write up an image guideline, because theres been a recent flux of hacker/MODer photos, and that really shouldn't be on a good wiki.
 * Look at the very bottom of this page, would nexon approve of that? Hacking/modding/decompiling their game code (which is required to modify it) it against their ToS.

"While using the Service, you agree not to:...Modify the Software, Cash Items or the Service to change "game play," including, without limitation, creating cheats and/or hacks or using third-party software to access files in the Software or Service;..."

- Section 2.2 of Nexon's Terms of Service

Assume the following: And Assume the Following is Always True:
 * 1) A person accesses the game coding to modify their game files.
 * 2) The person taked a screenshot of the modified item ingame.
 * 3) The person uploads the photo to the CAW.
 * 4) We do not delete them.


 * 1) Modifying game files is against Nexon's Terms of Use.


 * 1) Uploading to the CAW, constitutes our usage (and the photo's release under CC BY SA) of the photos.


 * 1) Not deleting them constitutes the CAW's approval of keeping them, and

That lead us to conclude one of two things about the CAW
 * 1) Not deleting them constitutes us hosting hack/mod pictures from wikia's servers.

If it were (1 directly above):
 * 1) We willingly keep (and distribute, as per hosting them) pictures that are made against Nexon's ToS, or
 * 2) We keep pictures for informational purposes.

We would be in willing violation of Nexon's ToS, and could be viewed as "supporting hacking/modding/malicous bot usage", generally everything we say we dont do in Template:Hackwarning, which is added automatically to any Hack or Glitch Page.

If it were (2),

We can claim "educational purposes" (e.g. Title 17107. Limitations on exclusive rights ...). There is still a problem with this, as "...may terminate the service to and individual or group at will and without prior notice."

-- 18:09, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well, technicality no, all or most of the images on their site is based off (or actually is) images used on either CA NA, or CA EU. The point is though, CA NA wont do anything because the CBL does good things (eg show players which are hacker), while we are a nuetral source, reporting on both the positive and negative instances from nexon. Do you know how hard it is to sue over the internet? See Anonymous, they have successfully protested the Church of Scientology for years. But would Nexon sue a relatively popular wiki over minor copyright violation that might not pass in court? With all the bad rap a lawsuit brings with it? Proabably not. Also there is no copyright notices on any of the pictures (eg (C) ), so unless the send us a cease-and-desist request letter for their images they usually cant nail us a court injunction, much less criminal charges. With all this legal talk i would like to add that I AM NOT A LAWYER, and all information from me is usually opinion.
 * We are anonymous, do you know my last name? How am i gonna sell out "Connor Did it"? As for a house to bomb, wikia is a pretty damned big house, with guards i might add, and would require a pretty damned big bomb too. I would bet Wikia would defend us and itself because a case against us would be a principle case, that could send a message to the legalheads that a wiki is free and opensource. Imagine the Headlines;"Game Devoper Nexon Sues Wikia for Copyright Infringement", "Nexon v Wikia, is information really Free?", "How far can educational information protect you?". Long story short, We're too small of a wiki to be thinking about this already, its better to be safe then sorry and adhere to a set image rule.

Yeah, lawl. I ran a trial period of AWB to clean up those stupid errors like "its" v. "it's" and things of the such. Once UpBot is approved for Bot status it'll run weekly cleanups overnight that get rid of those simple obvious errors in the MainSpace. Eh, im relaxed enough, a week at Camp RAD drains you dry but in the end you feel great. Plus, apparently while i was gone my brother renewed the DSR to 40 days. ;)
 * I thought about asking you about an achievement system, but I dropped it because it requires an older MediaWiki Extension. Its really fun. but it requires getting wikia to activate the extension on this wiki. A lot of people don't know about what options are really available to them. Wikia Staff have the ability to block editing to users, think of our protecting a page from anon editing, just said page is our whole wiki.
 * Zero, could you give User:UpBot Administrative access? It allows the bot to scan and run in all areas of the wiki. Plus, theres a block on its userpage incase something malfunctions.

Refer to the page I created, for connection issues, you may want to try the Command Prompt thing that I said if defragging hasn't really worked.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the router. If that doesn't work, try the options after Command Prompt, they are fairly likely to work. Anyway, is Combat Arms the only thing you are having issues with?

ARevolvingDoor 21:32, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Are your offline programs running well? If not, it's either a virus or registry issue, but if your offline programs are working fine, then try the Command Prompt, resetting the router, or reinstalling. I had a similar problem yesterday, and when I reinstalled Combat Arms, defragged my Nexon folder, did the Command Prompt things, and then restarted. It began to work better in increments, but the next day everything was fine. (That would be today)

yay that makes my feel better... i'm gonna be on right now cause my computer finally works!!!

Variants
I could add a family box to so that a variants box would automatically open listing the gun variants. (DUH). It would be a little complex, but we could have a master page listing all gun pages with their associated variants (very manual at first, but big payoff in the end), or we could manually add the variant family on each gun page. Which one do you think we should do? OMG, a master gun page would also solve the problem of adding categories to each Primary template page. O.o

-- 20:21, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Update: Im creating a huge master database at Template:Weaponcategorydatabase, in theory it can list all weapons with their categories.


 * Dat wuz meh. (:    Umm btw, you can see the current layout of the new database at User:H Fern/sandbox.
 * The newest Template:Primary would look like this if you were on the M14 page, while looking like this if you were on the G36E page, because it would pull the family from the database and add it to the "guns you might be interested in" section.

Running away is out of the question. Even on my noob alt i can still rap3 Grunt Server n00bs. By "this guy" I assume you mean this one. If it is, I am formally requesting permission to have the final say on matters pertaining to The Infected page. This means that my saying would overrule your opinion on this page. It is requested because You, the highest authority, is involved in an edit war. Normally this would result in a temp ban of both you and the other party, its out of the question here, as we cant be without an active head. I will conduct an investigation on whether the term assigned to a 'female-infected NPC in Fireteam Cabin Fever' should be "witch", "nurse", "female infected", or another appropriate term designated by me and/or a committee. This investigation will be neutral, showing no respect to your status.

An edit war is a serious thing. -- 22:44, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Notice
You are formally being sent a cease and desist letter requiring you to stop editing the page "The Infected". Currently a committee is being put together to reach a consensus on the grammatical term to use in describing the 'female white-robed enemy non-player-character in Fireteam Cabin Fever'. Violation of this Notice may result in a ban of up to 30 days. You will be informed when the committee has reached a decision. Until then, please refrain from editing "The Infected" page. You are free an encouraged to constructively edit other pages in the wiki.

CBL Info
Hey CC Fang is asking for some more infomation. That and some other things.

"I can't have a CBL affiliate advocating such activities, and I am sure you understand that. Since this weapon has already been released, I would think it is a non-issue, just replace the shots with real ones of the gun and remove the mention of modding."

"I guess what I need to know is that this isn't encouraged or permitted."

"Also if you look on any of the CBL pages you will see a blue link in the upper right to our shiny new affiliates page. I need from your site a 3-5 sentence description of what the CA Wiki is all about to add under the image."

What do you think we should have ours be? Default:

Combat Arms Wiki is the definitive source for Combat Arms information on maps, weapons, gameplay, strategy and more, that you can edit!

MY DSR-1 TACTIAL REVIEW!!!!!!
Could you kindly please tell me WHY my perfectly fine DSR-1 Tactial review was removed??

There was no other review on that page

and there were no errors in the video

so WHY?????

If you could PLEASE tell me why I would be very happy

(It was the one i posted like yesterday and it is kinda making me mad that it got removed)

If you could get back to me right away please email me at thejuggernaut666@hotmail.com to tell me why thank you

Sincerely JuggernautJT a.k.a Juggernaut_J

Dear Zero,

Please checkout the wiki suggestions page and respond.

Also take a look at the wiki tasks page. Is this necessary? If not, where can I find the list of this needed to be done?

Also how do I go about becoming a Moderator or Admin of some kind?

Hey Im -Reloadz- I was wondering if i can join the anti-vandalism squad. Reloadz 20:54, August 24, 2010 (UTC)Reloadz

Added his vid code to the DSR-1 Tactical page. And then i told him if HMR does one, his is out, 22:39, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

On the contrary, he probably wont. You see, I offered to see if HMR wanted to review my dsr tact, but he declined =\ 00:03, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

HMR is a a guy... We can check too with the help of TEMPLATES!

Nvm...but its a he...

AND im not a nerd...trust me there. I love PE more than any other class. and CA is my dirty little secret...

You think i should add a youtube randomizer to my page? My user page is montrous already...

mbf123
Wow! Thank for actually responding to my message!

I have never been apart of a Wiki or forum with such active and responsible leaders.

I have two notes:

1. I am not very good at templates, is that a big deal?

2. I think the Wiki Tasks page needs to become a front page link and needs to semi protected (but i would like to help edit it). It also needs to be more organized, with link to the newly started pages/ old pages.

Basically i am saying there should be more info about what needs to get done, who is getting it done and the progress of what needs to get done.

Thank you.

I am annoyed by having to type a "word" every time I add a link to the Combat arms Website. Can you take away this annoyance?

I fixed and updated to tasks page.

When sending you our anyone else a reply to a message, do I put it on My talk page or the person that I am replying to's talk page?

did you know that drkdragonz...
LOL.. did you know that drkdragonz wasn't registered.. lol it says on his talk page where he has that moderatorcrown file click on it and it should say that LOLTehAznKamakazii 05:54, August 25, 2010 (UTC)Kamakazee

Heads up:
Your "moderator"s now have the ability to:


 * 1) Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt)
 * 2) Move files (movefile)
 * 3) Move pages (move)
 * 4) Move pages with their subpages (move-subpages)
 * 5) View a list of unwatched pages (unwatchedpages)
 * 6) Block users or IPs for up to 3 days
 * 7) Edit Admin locked pages

(Note: They CANNOT edit MediaWiki pages)I requested wikia do this, and they did. Now your power users have some power.

You should probably notify them about their new powers.

18:57, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

ALSO. im gonna break it into pieces so those spaces wont magically appear out of nowhere.

lol...Just the thought of me not being an admin. It would be like Seacrane only the wiki falls apart. And magically all of the tempaltes stop working o.O

Hey Zero. Just like to point out that Template:Secondary can be removed from the sitenotice list of templates needing updating. It is, at present, fully complete and categorized. Thanks, SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 01:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

vandalise this wikia
hey! zero i've come up a way for vandals to stay off this wikia. I made a wikia that is called VandaliseThis.wikia.com and now vandals can just go vandalise here =D TehAznKamakazii 18:15, September 7, 2010 (UTC)kamakazee

LOL!!!! nice idea 18:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Semantic Wiki
"Hey Hunter, Good to hear from you. Yes, Semantic MediaWiki would be ideal for your wiki.  For example, adding Does damage::40 (a semantic "declaration") to each weapon page would ensure that if you were to do an query, you would get a very simple, quick list of weapons. For example, all I would have to do is  and that would return a list of each weapon whose damage was declared with 40. In your particular case, it might make sense to add a line to the master infobox/template that says "  and then add a "Damage= " line to each page. Now, I would advise you to go to Semantic-MediaWiki.org, look at some of the simple tutorials. If you wish to proceed with enabling SMW on your wiki, let me know. However, I ask you to go look at the guides first. SMW adds some load on the DB server for your particular wiki (usually a minimal amount of lag is added), but if you start to do crazy things with code (Semantic templates with lots of or  parser functions, doing weird and complex queries, etc., etc.,) it will really hurt your site."

- User:daNASCAT

What do you think? I think we should go for it. It would organize our data...

Also, Im trying to get User:Faith Breaker to write a DT PRO guide.

-- 03:01, September 9, 2010 (UTC) lol ive been friends with him for awhile now...

lol you shoudl hear blueshift2... SO WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT SEMATIC WIKI?

Hey zero, tell me what gun has 35 Damage and 82 Rate of Fire?

Alright, now make me a list of all guns that have a damage rating of 60-70, without listing any G36 family guns. You have 30 minutes.

User groups?
Hey, according to Special:ListUsers, I'm not an admin nor a rollbacker. The interesting thing is though, I can see the rollback and block buttons, but the delete/protect tabs are missing.
