User talk:Ajedi32

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Roblox Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Graphical User Interface page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- CatherineMunro (Talk) 22:03, November 6, 2009

Was wondering*
Would you like to help me and Trenex Here and on roblox? as a 2 class engineer? ~Alagor-Trenex~

I don't have a whole lot of time to build things on Roblox right now, but I might be able to help a bit. What do you mean by a 2 class engineer? --Ajedi32 23:44, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Are you the admin of this wiki?
Are you the administrator of this Roblox wiki? -Conmiro

Yes I am. (PS. You can sign your comments with four tildes "~")--Ajedi32 00:49, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking···
Since you're the only active Sysop, we should have a thread in the forum where a user may nominate themselves or others for administrator privileges. Most other wikis do this, but I want to know whether the community or just existing admins should be able to decide. --PeejsterM 21:37, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * It might be a good idea. Although I am only an administrator on this site, not a bureaucrat, so any requests for adminship would eventually have to go to the Wikia staff. But yes, it might be a good idea to have a forum. --Ajedi32 22:41, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * But you're a Sysop. You should be able to promote others. Also, I made the thread in the watercooler forum.--PeejsterM 21:22, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope, only bureaucrats can do that. --Ajedi32 22:33, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Then I suppose you'll have to bug Leira about that. --PeejsterM 05:10, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lira is never on anymore. The last time she was on was about a year ago. Oh, it sounds like Roblox is going to unlock the official wiki sometime soon. --Ajedi32 23:22, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Two of The Same
There seems to be two pages of the Verified Gift of Legitimacy, a Verified Gift of Legitimacy and another V.G.o.L except in lower case.

Deletion for the lower cased article? --RobouserY 18:30, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yea, I'll do that. Thanks for letting me know. --Ajedi32 19:55, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hey i can help you
My name is epicfail22 on roblox and superfail22 on youtube. im the one that sent u the pm. I can build you something if thats what you mean by 2 class engineer, but im no good at scripting. I will build you anything but something that has to have scripts. For example i will build you scenery. PM me back if you want me to build you something.


 * Thanks for offering, but I don't really need anything at the moment. I don't recall saying anything about a "2 class engineer", so you might be thinking of someone else though. --Ajedi32 22:54, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
Looking at the templates in use, I think that the Object template should be renamed to Instance, and a new Object template created.

The Instance template should be used for game Instances, and have a properties, methods, and events section. The Object template should have a constructors, members, methods, and operators section, and should be used for uninstatiable userdata such as Vector3s and UDim2s.

NXTBoy 08:38, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, that sounds good. A lot of the people on this wiki aren't very technical-minded and probably don't know the difference and I have been working mostly on pages that are not scripting-related, so nobody ever got around to changing that. If you think that instances and objects would work better if they each had separate templates, go ahead. Happy editing! :) --Ajedi32 14:05, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Patrolling the Wiki
Ajedi, is it hard keeping articles vandalism-free? With all those unregistered users, it could get very hard... Catblox 19:32, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * So far I haven't had any problems, right now the wiki is so small that I can personally review every edit they make. =) Ajedi32 19:50, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Do you like my signature?
Well, do you? And if you want your own, I could try to make one for you.

04:09, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's pretty cool, and you can make me one if you want. It's really unnecessary though, I don't really need a special signature. --Ajedi32 20:49, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

More of the same
Yeah, I got another case of double-ups (sort of), I've spotted two articles on explosions, Explosion and Explosions, now intersetingly, the Explosion article is older than the Explosions article but the Explosion article also has less detail...I just thought I'd note that out...RobouserY 08:16, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, which one do you think should be the official article? Ajedi32 20:50, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Like I said, Explosion is older than Explosions, but the Explosions article has more information, I think we could move some of the information (like the script thingy) of Explosion to Explosions and get rid of the Explosion, so that's my opinon on what to do, and that's my vote...RobouserY 10:21, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, I think I see. Explosions is talking about explosions in general, while Explosion is referring to the explosion object in specific. They might be able to just say separate. Then you could just link them together. But I am not sure if they are big enough to each have a separate article... What do you think? Ajedi32 18:20, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty of merging the two articles together at Explosion, given that that is the name of the Instance that Roblox uses. Besides, aren't all explosions Explosion objects? NXTBoy 20:49, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, not ALL explosion but most of them. It is possible to make super-sized explosions such as nukes that do not consist entirely of explosion objects. But generally, yes they are the same thing. I have deleted the Explosions article to complete the merge. --Ajedi32 22:41, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Adding CSS classes
I'm trying to make a general purpose code documentation template. However, my web-design background is shouting "No no no!" at putting inline styles in all my  tags. How would I go about defining a CSS class on the wiki? I've googled it, but all I get is wiki pages telling me about CSS.

NXTBoy 08:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know a whole lot about CSS, so I am not entirely sure what you mean. help.wikia.com has lots of information on using the wikis though, so you might be able to find what you need there. I am not really sure if wikia supports using CSS in articles or templates, but I am sure you can find the information you need in the help wiki. If not you can contact the wikia staff at community@wikia.com. Thanks for asking.
 * Ajedi32 20:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been poking around a bit, and it seems I would need to edit MediaWiki:Common.css. DO you have editing rights for this? If so, could you add some code to it for me at some point? That or grant me edit privs. Thanks.
 * NXTBoy 16:52, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It looks to me like that page is used to change the skin and other information for the entire site. Are you sure you need to modify that thing to accomplish what you are trying to do here? Why don't you show me what you are trying to do first before we start messing with the code that determines how the entire website behaves?
 * Ajedi32 18:47, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're right: it is. However, CSS can be safely appended to the end, leaving the important parts intact. Have a look at Template:Func, which can be seen in use in Cframe_(Object). At present, there are a bunch of repeated inline classes, which increases the page's load time, and makes no logical sense. I'd like to append something like this to the CSS:

/*** Lua Documentation stuff ***/ .function { color: #404040; font-weight: 900; } .function .args { 	display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; } .var { 	color: black; font-weight: normal; } .vartype { 	background-color: #f0f0f0; color: #303030; border: 1px solid #d0d0d0; font-size: 90%; display: inline-block; vertical-align: center; line-height: 1em; padding: 0.25em; text-align: center; }
 * Make sense?
 * NXTBoy 20:31, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea, that sounds reasonable. Is that the exact code you want to use, or would you like to make some adjustments before I put it in? --Ajedi32 23:33, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thats pretty much the exact code. I've changed it slightly (see above). Should be good now.
 * NXTBoy 08:09, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have appended the code to the end of MediaWiki:Common.css let me know if you experience any more problems or need to make another edit to the code. Thanks --Ajedi32 16:07, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well that's odd. The CSS my browser is receiving is the same. Ctrl - F5 doesn't do the trick either.


 * Hmm, did I do it right? =/ MediaWiki:Common.css --Ajedi32 17:48, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind. Had a look at the HTML I was being served. "maxage=86400". Thats the number of seconds in a day. Clearly it won't send me the new CSS until tomorrow. Thanks. NXTBoy 18:39, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Lua code highlighting
Could you install the plugin at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi? It would allow lua code to be syntax highlighted in the wiki

NXTBoy 20:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems that I don't have the authorization to install that plugin (it is only available on request), but yes that does seem like a good idea. I'll put a request in with the wikia staff. Ajedi32 23:39, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yet more duplicates
After doing some drastic recategorization, I noticed that there are duplicates for Part (Part) and ForceField (Forcefield). Merge into ForceField, methinks?

Surfaces.
I'm not quite sure about the structure of the wiki. Is it better to rename Motor (which implies the Instance) to Motor (Surface) or Surface/Motor?


 * I would say to just leave them separate. Motor implies the Instance, while Motor (Surface) refers to the surface type. Ajedi32 00:46, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. The old article Motor talked about the surface, which I felt was incorrect. At present, I've renamed it to Motor (Surface), but I'm wondering if it would make more logical sense to rename it to Surface/Motor NXTBoy 07:38, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. I think it's probably fine the way you have it right now. Ajedi32 18:29, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Pipe escape plugin
I've been fiddling around with templates recently, and I've been getting really annoyed by the irritating way that Pipe characters must be individually escaped, and line breaks screw up. Could you perhaps add the Pipe Escape Extension to the wiki? Thanks NXTBoy 21:52, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * That does sound like a good idea. Unfortunately that extension is not supported on wikia wikis. =0 You may be able to use the alternative solutions listed on the Pipe Escape Extension page. Sorry if this doesn't solve your problem. Ajedi32 00:51, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Escaped string functions
Could you add http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctionsEscaped to the wiki? I'm working on a new method of documentation for the lua objects, but I need to be able to search strings for newlines and tabs. The current String Functions don't allow the searching for these. Alternatively, could you perhaps try and add the regex parser found here. Thanks. NXTBoy 09:30, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Argh! Wikia doesn't support either of those extensions either. =( Here is a full list of all supported extensions on wikia. --Ajedi32 00:02, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * In what way are they not supported?NXTBoy 07:29, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * What I mean is that it's not in the list of available extensions. I suppose we might be able to get around it by putting the extension source in the wiki's global CSS. Do you think that might work? --Ajedi32 13:48, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. The extensions are written in PHP. Firstly, I suspect that the wikia software sanitizes any PHP-like input from users to prevent database loss. Secondly, it is highly unlikely that .css files would be parsed by the server as PHP: it doesn't make any sense. Finally, the PHP needs to be inserted into the file called "LocalSettings.php". Looking at the page, do you have a "MediaWiki install dir"? Or does wikia not work like that? NXTBoy 17:35, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah right, I am confusing CSS with PHP. In that case I don't think it's possible. Wikia only supports some of the MediaWiki extensions and doesn't allow users to mess with the PHP, probably for the same reasons you just mentioned. I think the only extensions they allow are the ones listed here, and even then the extensions have to be enabled by a wikia staff member. It's kinda too bad, but I guess we'll have to make due with what we have. --Ajedi32 18:56, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

More CSS
Add please?

.template-documentation { 	background-color: #ecfcf4; margin: 1em 0px 0px; clear: both; border: #aaa 1px solid; padding: 1em; }

Thanks. NXTBoy 17:49, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, no problem. --Ajedi32 18:50, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * And again? Thanks.

Even more double-ups
Hopefully this'll stop one day, anyway, here's your fourth case of double-ups on your talk page, right so I've noticed more pages about the same thing, this time I've found Sugahbabe and Sugahbabe (X-101st). They are talking about the same Robloxian, I'm voting for Sugahbabe (X-101st) to get deleted because it's got less information then Sugahbabe without the X-101st. So that's my voting. --RobouserY 19:04, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea, I think you're right. --Ajedi32 20:28, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Another duplicate
I've found another duplicate article, well, sort of, but I notice in User:Dom2d2's contributions that he created a page under the name Outrages builders club, I'm not sure why he did that, it's meant to be about Outrageous Builders Club, but right now, we've got all the OBC information on the Builders Club page. So I guess it's deletion for the Outrages builders club? RobouserY 16:17, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll just make it a redirect to the Builder's Club page. Ajedi32 18:38, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making a roblox wiki!
I like this ROBLOX Wiki, it is much more up-to-date than the current one!


 * Actually, I didn't create this wiki, I just manage it. There's still a lot of work to do, but yea its great! Btw, you can sign your posts with four tildes. (~) Ajedi32 18:25, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hello.
Hi Ajedi32, thanks for your message sent to me.

I don't really need anything right now but I will tell you if I do.

Body Position / Angular Velocity
You may not know of this, but, i need help with it.

I put it together in one object but then it goes to where its meant to go the it starts spinning, stop, spinning, stop.

Isn't that what angular velocity is supposed to do? I think what you are looking for is BodyGyro... Isn't it? Ajedi32 22:35, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Dont know how to use it.

There is a value called CFrame in the BodyGryo object which scripts can change to change the orientation of the part the BodyGyro is in. For more on CFrames you might want to check out the official Roblox wiki, we don't have a whole lot on that here. PS: You can sign your posts with four tlides. ( ~ ) Ajedi32 19:23, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Can you teach scripting?
You said that you script most of the time your on roblox, so can you teach me to script? I followed your scripting guide and it helped a little but i still want to know how to script fluidly. I mean like i want to think of something in my head and then script it right of the bat. Do you think you could teach me how in your own words and answer my questions? I am willing to pay you Robux/Tickets if you teach me alone so i can best understand it. That would be great if you could. Thanks.

P.S. Im Superfail22 on youtube and Epicfail22 on Roblox and other things so ya i've contacted you before
