Unknown's blade forms

Would you be able to get rips of these?192.249.47.195 17:34, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

The reasons why no model was uploaded before is because no such thing exists, instead the weapon (and it's 6 forms: blade, double-blade, x-slash, spear, summoning circle and time rewind clock) are battle effects. I've ripped all the pieces but making a "model" out of them requires a level of skill I just don't have. Maybe Erry or Soxra can help. --ShardofTruth 18:57, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Is that the same for the forms of LW's Ends of the Earth in KHIIFM, by any chance? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 19:43, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

You mean these? The keyblade forms of LW and No Heart are all models/animations and therefore can be ripped without problems. --ShardofTruth 21:27, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

You think you can hand me the files of the Unknown? I can try to replicate some images. Erry ♓ 03:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Rip requests

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." Hey Shard, Kryten wanted me to ask if you could rip the models for Anti-Riku, Anti-Saix, Neo Darkside, the archers on the Infernal Engine, and the Shadows created from the Dark Follower.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 22:41, 3 March 2012 (UTC) That's not possible at the moment I'm afraid. The most sophisticated model viewer for NDS (nitro) models is Low Lines' Console Tool and even this program has problems with the unusual bone code of the KHREC and KHD models. And even if these enemy models can be viewed without problems they would still be in there T-render pose, because animation or model converting is not supported.

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." Understood. I'll pass this onto Kryten.

Can you rip the lingering wills spell circle from KHFM2 Please? Unknown3619 14:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Image cleaning request

Could you get the flamey thing here, without the shadow and on white png background? If it's no good, that's fine."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 22:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

The image is already highly compressed (and small). I don't think I can come up with something better than this. --ShardofTruth 01:58, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

You're so damn cool. I love you."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 02:23, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Are you going to get better images of the Drill Sai, Electric Unicorn, Li Flower and Obake Ghost Spirits? and what about the Bone to be Wild, Bokkun Rex, Ice Penguin, Kaeru Soldier, Kiba Tiger, Me Me Bunny, Taka Eagle and Zou Elephant Spirits?--71.58.61.68 12:15, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I will replace all screenshots and low quality renders (mostly magazine scans) of the Spirits and Nightmares, it just takes some time. --ShardofTruth 14:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

There's also a sceond form for the Hachi Queen and Ikage Sword. a second render for Meow Wow and Hanadawan'nyan. not to mention The Rare Nightmares, a render of Ansem phase 1 and 2.--209.212.4.2 15:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, also them;-) There is also a second render for the Aura Lion, but these will be be last I think. --ShardofTruth 15:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I forgot to tell you that there's also a render of Pete when you fight him in Country of the Musketeers.--71.58.61.68 03:03, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Again, i forgot to tell you that there's also a render of Pete when you fight him in Country of the Musketeers. also, you forgot the Me Me Bunny.--71.58.61.68 15:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

I think I won't upload boss renders that don't have an article yet, that's just an unnecessary spoiler. Also I will send my scans to Sign at KHinsider, so you'll be able to get all images from there faster than from here, because I don't have much time on my hands at the moment. --ShardofTruth 00:49, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

When are you gonna do the Nightmares and Special Nightmares? Also, you need to replace the Ana Mogura, Ele Kamriki and Hakozaru (Sora) Renders with better quality from the ultimania.--71.58.61.68 18:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" Now hold up. We already have renders for those last three. Shard doesn't need to do anything.

can't you just reupload them from the ultimania? plus, they're from the dream world navigation book.--71.58.61.68 00:11, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

doooood, unless there's money changing hands you need to not be so demanding of Shard. Be patient and grateful."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 02:00, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

i'm not being demanding, i just want him to reupload the pictures from the ultimania.--71.58.61.68 18:41, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey shard, how much longer till you reupload the Ana Mogura, Ele Kamriki and Hakozaru (Sora) Renders? and what about the Nightmares and Special Nightmares?--71.58.61.68 22:24, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

You are being demanding, give the man some time, he's not a robot where he can upload everything. Give him some time and he'll be able to give you what you want. I mean, if I had the Ultimania, I'd help you out but I don't. Erry ♓ 22:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

It's not that I don't want to upload the images but I just don't have enough time to clean them. That's why I sent them to Sign at KHinsider who is really good (much, much better than me) at this. If she doesn't upload some of them before the weekend I will begin uploading some of them again, so don't worry. In the meantime everyone is invited to help, all new KH3D renders can be found here. --ShardofTruth 23:17, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Shard, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you. maggosh 23:21, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

does Sign from KHInsider have an account on here?

Takaturtle

Were you able to get permission from her to use these? If so, we have a whole list of them that we can start placing on the wiki."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 02:33, 7 April 2012 (UTC)—

She said we can use her photos, the keyblades and the Dream Eaters as well. --ShardofTruth 17:43, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to make a note that she said that the glowing-esque Nightmares are Rare Nightmares that are found in Special Portals rather than being special ones in The Grid. The Nightmares that appear in The Grid appear as they normally would. Gabranth 16:46, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Tell takaturtle to make new images for the Naru Bird, because its face keeps getting obscured. --Littleman 22:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

She said the bird keeps flying of the screen, it seem to be very hard to make a good photo of it. --ShardofTruth 16:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

...dude, littleman, the word is "ask". We're not paying takaturtle, we're parasiting off of her.192.249.47.177 17:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

HELP

Help my talk bubbles are 'crippled'. I wanted to revamp my talk bubbles with nice bright colours but when I went to the template page they all became links. If I try to use them it becomes this -

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 17:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC) blah

. I have four and they all worked before so please help! TheFifteenthMember 17:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

That's not your fault, something's wrong with Xiggie's template. I'll try to find the problem. --ShardofTruth 17:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 17:51, 21 April 2012 (UTC) oh look you fixed it! :)

New request

Could you help me with images for Commands? (I know ripping the command menus from KHII is too complicated, but just a cropped and cleaned screenshot would be perfect.) --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 23:08, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Ah yes and the gauges, I forgot about them, sorry.^^ I have to rebuild them as they appear in the game but I don't have enough savegames to get them all (they can't be extracted only ripped) without replaying huge chunks of the games, something I don't have time for at the moment.

• Summon (ripped)
• Limit (ripped)
• Damage:
  • Hollow Bastion gate
  • Land of Dragons door
  • Cogsworth (ripped)
  • Megara (ripped)
  • Minnie (ripped)
  • Crisis (TR)
  • Ursula (ripped)
  • Timon & Pumbaa (ripped)
  • Core Energy (ripped)
  • Left/Right Unit (ripped)
  • Dragon (ripped)
• Special:
  • Morale (LD)
  • Escape (TR)
  • Clusters (SP)
  • Saïx
  • Luxord (ripped)

Anyway, the command menus. Do you want something like this?

--ShardofTruth 02:54, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, basically. I'd like to get the whole menu, though, if you can get it. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm still not sure how exactly the menus should look like.

Do you want the non-active menus (seen above), the active ones where all little symbols are shown or the different world design menus? Also, do you want every submenu (Magic, Summon, Items, Drive, Limit, Party, Friend) and if yes, what should be seen in the variable ones (Items, Party, Friend)? --ShardofTruth 17:14, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Those. are just. awesome. I'd prefer to see the symbols, but I'm not married to the idea. Similarly, I don't really need the world design menus, but I think someone else had wanted them, and, let's face it, those would be awesome if we could get them. We probably don't need all the submenus, the variable ones would be especially annoying (which one is Friend?), but Magic, Summon, Drive, and maybe Limit would be good. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 18:16, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

So to summarize, if you can get them without too much extra trouble, please do. On a semi-related note, is there some site like spriter's resource that uses the english versions? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 18:49, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

I updated the image post. The Ultimania displays always two versions of the command menu, the normal version and the combat version, although only the coloration is different, so I don't really see a point in that. I tried to make version with only "active" tabs (symbols appearing) but there is too much overlapping involved, I just didn't look good.
As for an alternative to spriter's resource I don't know of any. It's problematic to rip sprites from PS2 games anyway, especially if they are as complicated as the KHII ones where the depiction heavly depends on graphic options and resolution in comparision to a simple layer system in NDS games for example.
I guess it would be possible to get workable templates for the KH original menu skin by using this sheet and the ingame font.
--ShardofTruth 01:28, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 00:46, 1 May 2012 (UTC)   Phew. Aside from the rough edges on the TWTNW menus, those are bloody awesome. I agree we don't need more than one color's worth. Just do what you feel comfortable with. Regarding spriter's resource, I was asking for the sake of the Days command menu and Recoded command deck.

I hope I can improve the quality, there are still some tweaks left. I think I'll have no problem ripping the English version of the KHD and KHREC command menu although I don't know if they are any differences at all. --ShardofTruth 13:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Update: You can find the Englisch versions of the KHREC and KHD command menus here and here. --ShardofTruth 22:29, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

KH3D Ultimania Pictures

if you have the ultimania for dream drop distance, can you upload all the spirit renders?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.61.68 (talk • contribs)

I can't, because I don't have the Ultimania, I just used the scans that were linked at KH13.com and please learn to sign your posts, thanks. --ShardofTruth 21:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Guardian (World of Chaos) Images

Hey there, Shard. Quick question: File:Guardian (World of Chaos).png versus File:Guardian World of Chaos.png. What's up? The former image says it is a duplicate of Guardian World of Chaos.png. However, Guardian World of Chaos.png questions whether it is the same image, only with the background removed. Which image are, or do you think, we should keep? Thanks!--Xion4ever 17:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

It's pretty obvious it's a screenshot of the model. See the lack of anti-aliasing around the teeth? maggosh 17:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

It is a screenshot. However, it is a different one. Notice the angle in which the Guardian is in for File:Guardian World of Chaos.png? Different than File:Guardian (World of Chaos).png shows [upper body is better shown]. I wanted to ask Shard which image he thought was worth keeping since one of the involved images is his. I personally was going to keep Guardian (World of Chaos) since it was an in-game screenshot. However, Shard's image is clearer. Thus, I came here.--Xion4ever 17:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I think in-game screenshots are prefered in an article's body, so keep this image and delete the other one. I will upload an screenshot from the same scene with higher resolution soon. --ShardofTruth 22:14, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

The cutscene is very blurry so the original image won't get any sharper, I uploaded a screenshot from another scene instead. By the way, you're doing a great job with all the image renaming and replacing Xion4ever:-) --ShardofTruth 23:14, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

That was super kicky fast. Much appreciated, Shard! The image looks awesome! Oh, and thanks...You're too kind. ^_^;--Xion4ever 23:18, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts

Hey Shard, do you think you could get me the textures for Kingdom Hearts, above The World That Never Was, from KHII? Erry ♓ 13:02, 15 May 2012 (UTC)~

I know I had them still somewhere:-) Normal, Broken and Birth by Sleep. --ShardofTruth 13:07, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Your very welcome

No problem, glad you like like it. Also yeah, right got it about whole image crediting thing, I'll be sure to do so. And also thanks for the coding tip, I didn't even knew about that coding until you told me, thanks for that. UnknownCheisā ^{—— No one expects the Spanish Inquisition} 22:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Template:Enemy shortcomings

Anything where the coding of the template does not allow the full accurate info (Vanitas, Terra-Xehanort, the Days Dragons), just list in a section on the Template Talk page, preferably with the name of the parameter affected. It should be easy enough to create subparameters for these, though it would be best to do it on a case by case basis.192.249.47.177 17:11, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

holy burst

Hey. Holy Burst/Burst of Faith should get a separate article from Holy, in the same vein as Salvation. Could you please move that stuff to there? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 01:01, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Our Wiki again

Hey, I don't know if we can speak in German here, so I write in English. I had a fight with my boss at the wiki, which was affilieted with this wiki. We're splitted now (it was my project -.-) and I got a new server for the wiki. If everything is ready (just the domain is missing), can we change the interwiki-link again? .. Sorry for bothering you and you staff again. But this time, I'm the boss, so we should stay there a while. :) Sum2k3 13:03, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, Pain is already there. We talked right after I quit and she said, she'd follow me. She also found someone who may help us as well, so we're hopefully not alone anymore.

..sorry, I wrote this on my discussion page instead of yours. So, here is my answer about Painchen.^^ The Wiki also has a domain now (yeah) It's kingdom-hearts-wiki.de ..the most downside on our server is the speed, but this will be corrected sometimes. Sum2k3 09:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Is there any new information? Sum2k3 (talk) 18:48, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Could you clean these?

• The cats (together), and the gold guy (with the cats, if you can't clean them out)

Should the second one have a white background too? --ShardofTruth 22:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, if you can. There's no rush on this, though (I'm kind of hoping that the gold guy gets released on a card soon)."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 01:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Promotional Artwork?

Greetings, Shard. I've run across artwork images from here. However, I do not know if these are exactly promotional artwork or not. That, and I do not know an official name. As such, I have not moved them to your promotional artwork page. So, if they can help you, please use them. ^_^ Here are the images in question: KH Main Characters, and KH Main Characters 02. Thanks!--Xion4ever 18:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I've added them both. One is a variation of an already named piece from the Ultimania, the other's name is unknown. I'd like to add the promotional images to the respective game's gallery at some point. --ShardofTruth 01:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

3D Demo Logo

Hey Shard, cause you are the best for getting images, I just wanted to ask you, if there is somewhere a picture of the Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Demo Logo? ..I think I saw it somewhere, but can't remember where ..it was like the normal logo, just with the "demo" or "demo-version" below. if you know something about this, pls reply.

Permission request

Hello. I'm an admin of Polish wiki about Digimon called "Digimon Universe". I found out that you ripped image of Vemmon for our English friend, Digimon Wiki - [1]. Can I use that image (and possibly others you ripped) on my own wiki, of course properly crediting you? Thank you in advance, Final Cannon (talk) 21:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

That's no problem at all, you're free to use them and thanks for asking. --ShardofTruth (talk) 22:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Elemental resistances in KH3D

If possible, scan any pages mentioning elemental resistance, mainly about the Dream Eaters. But if there is something about the protagonists, that's swell too. Thanks. Erry ♓ 06:25, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I think I will be able to scan the pages tomorrow. --ShardofTruth (talk) 04:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Alright, could you also check to see if there's any info on how the Nightmare stats work? Erry ♓ 05:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Project:Images/Image Request Page

So until Kryten and I get the whole captions thing sorted out, I think you are the go-to guy for something like this. If not an entire image renovation/addition project, then an image request page like Zelda Wiki's would be great! - Eternal Nothingness XIII 12:56, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Ultimania

For KH3D, it looks like the resistances for Spirits can be taken from their Nightmare versions (either that, or I'm completely wrong and all Spirits are created with the same basic resistances).

However, there are several stats that only appear in the Ultimania:

• What Dream Piece the Spirit drops when it dies,
• Which parts of the Dream Eaters body correspond to its dispositions,
• What are the stats for the recipes, specifically, their chances of producing a different Dream Eater than the one expected,
• What the katakana are for the dispositions (do we want this?)

I coded the Dispositions part of the infobox so that if you upload sprites of the eyes, they would appear. I'm not sure if that's rippable, or if we're going to have to mock them up as vector art or some kind of thing. We'll figure it out.

Also, the full ability tables appear in the Ultimania at a level of detail I can't find on the wikiwiki or elsewhere."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 23:01, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the starting resistances for the Spirits, they maybe the same as the Nightmares's but I thought they can change with the Spirits's unlocked commands (seen on page 225 "『強化』の欄で遺んだデッキコマンドの種類とステータスの上昇量"). But I'm maybe completely wrong about this, hopefully the Bradygames guide arrives soon, maybe it can clear things like these up.

• It seem all these drops have only a small chance (Ursa Circus death drop chance for the Epic Fantasy is only 4%) , should it be included or is this info better to be put on the material pages?
• I'm not sure about the katakana for the dispositions, it depends on how bloated the info box looks and if we make a page for the dispositions alone, where the katakana could appear instead.

I'm not a step further with the ripping, I can't really tell if it's possible or impossible at this point, because I'm still figuring out how to get the data itself but I'm optimistic it will work out one way or another. So it's a good thing you already included a place for the eyes. I will scan the rest of the Spirit pages during the week. --ShardofTruth (talk) 02:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Are you talking about how you can combine deck commands with DE recipes to increase certain stats?

The famitsu has kana for dispositions (hiragana, mostly). --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 04:41, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
