:: Thanks for the tip! :) I'll definitely keep that in mind. :) '''Xamikaze330'''

==Wouldn't you?...==
Wouldn't you rather edit on a nicer [http://stargate-wiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Stargate Wiki] where they would appreciate your work? [[Special:Contributions/150.203.222.57|150.203.222.57]] 04:10, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
:: I most certainly would be on that, but as it so happens, must of my work has already been done on stargate.wikia.com [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Stargate_Wiki], and even then, this Stargate Wiki you posted, while it is much nicer, it is not like Halopedia--I don't know how to begin uploading new images to this, not to mention some of the pages here are lacking information. But, when I feel I should help this one out, then maybe I will. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:30, 18 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:::Wouldn't you want to be part of this, its pretty obvious that my wiki is going to eclipse the one on wikia soon enough. The bureaucrat on the wikia one doesn't care in the slightest about your efforts to help out and is quite happy to ignore everyone.

::::And so I'm beginning to notice that. I am strongly considering becoming a part of the better Stargate Wiki (stargate-wiki.org). Though some users say my images are a welcome addition, others seem to not really appreciate what I'm doing, all the great images I've been contributing. Things are going to have to change soon. And yes, you are right--Halopedia (halopedian.com) has already easily eclipsed Halo Nation wiki, though I still put some effort into Halo Nation, simply because others have submitted images that are clearly done by myself, but has been changed--I do not like that! Still, the better Stargate Wiki needs the addition of more information, and not just nicer images like mine. --'''Xamikaze330'''

== When uploading images... ==

... make sure to add a [[template:delete|<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag]] on the old files.

::Okay. Sorry, I forgot to do that. I'll try to remember next time. Btw, what was wrong with the old file I submitted of H3-M808B-ScorpionMBT-Thumb800x494.png? Aside from the fact that I did upload a bigger image sized 1024x633, was it just because the file name was too long? --'''Xamikaze330'''
:::Well, partly yes on the filename being too long. Also the fact that the filename is misleading (as you stated, it's no longer 800px).

==Unrelated to Halo: Alternative Stargate Wiki==

Did you sign up for an account on my stargate wiki? I only ask because the vandals have impersonated poeple before. [[Special:Contributions/150.203.223.123|150.203.223.123]] 20:20, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Yes, yes, I most certainly did. On my honor as a Christian, I am not a vandal. No one has been able to hack any of my accounts before, and with God on my side, that never will happen. --Xamikaze330

I couldn't help but notice that your still editing on Stargate Wikia? Your not gonna edit/upload the same things on both wikis are you? I intend my wiki to be a better source and if they have the same stuff, then thats not good. [[Special:Contributions/150.203.223.123|150.203.223.123]] 21:03, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Well, truth be told, I have been editing both on Halopedia and on Halo Nation, so I can't really make any promises. But, as a consolation, large quantities of data often is the key, not just the images. (Which means I may have to start buying Stargate reference books. FYI, I may also have to start borrowing and modifying data & images from the Stargate Wikia to get things started, and not forgetting GateWorld data.)That's my theory on how Halopedia (halopedian.com) become more popular than Halo Nation, also due in part to other users not being serious enough on Halo Nation, which is why Halopedia was created, to weed out the people who aren't serious, and to keep those who are. To me, stargate.wikia.com is like that. Some people just aren't serious enough about all this Stargate stuff. l Besides, Halo is at the top of my top ten favorites right now, and I don't expect that to change. In other words, I expect to be working on Halopedia more often than either Stargate Wikis. And keep in mind I may want to become an administrator at some point, just to keep things in line, and other such things like that. --Xamikaze330


== What do you need help with? ==
Yo, I'm about to go on Halo for a screenshot extravaganza.  So I was wondering if you could give me a list of EVERYTHING you need, so I can get that all done.  Thanks!  Vegerot goes RAWR!

*('''Please check all other miscellaneous weapons, vehicles and character pages, because I can't remember them all off the top of my head.''')

====Recommended Specifications for Great Screenshots:====
*Rule #1: The image screenshot(s) need to be of high-quality, high-resolution material. Nothing too small and blurry. High-definition screenshots is a must, so make sure that they are nice, big and no details obscured by blurriness. 1920x1080 is good, other numbers greater than this one standard size are also appreciated.
**Lighting has to be just right, not too dark and not too bright.
**Must have little or no shadows to obscure essential details.
**Background must be the right color in order to make the object, whether it be a weapon, vehicle, or character, to be able to stand out clearly with no details obscured. 
***With weapons screenshots, recommended background colors are a desert sand color, or metallic/stone grey, or a nice grassy green. Must be on the ground, not a Forge spawning point, it will have a "St. Elmo's fire"-type blue light teardrop! 
***For character screenshots, the background can be any light color, as long as the lighting is just right! Also, make sure character is seen at an angle, like this [[:File:H3-Usze Taham Portrait.png|example image provided]] here.
***For vehicle screenshots, specifications are the same as all the above, if it is remotely possible at all. Please do the same as you would with characters. If you're not sure, try looking at this [[:File:H3-M831TroopTransportHog.png|example image provided]] here.
Hope this helps, and thanks for helping to improve the wiki!

These, I think, are all the most important screenshots I want to see uploaded to Halopedia and/or elsewhere, where I can go save them to edit later when I have the time to work on them. So hopefully this is relatively helpful, and to further ease any screenshot-taking guy's concerns, I will try to update this little list every time I remember something. Thanks, to all Halopedians! --'''Xamikaze330'''

Okay.  But with the Spartan Laser, you said you couldn't find any with the correct lighting.  Mind telling me what lighting you're looking for, exactly? Vegerot goes RAWR!

Already done downloading. Standing by to await new screenshots. --'''Xamikaze330''

Something not too dark and not too much light, just about right in between. Something with the same kind of lighting as in the ''Halo Encyclopedia'', or very similar. Do you have the ''Halo Encyclopedia''? I do, but unfortunately I do not have a good enough printer with a big high-quality, dare I say, ''high-definition'' scanner to do the job just right, without any of that bothersome blurring that comes from scanning, something I'm still looking around for. A screenshot with something along those lines would be great, perhaps even better than. Does that help a little? (Don't forget to answer the other question too!) --'''Xamikaze330'''

Done. Standing by, waiting until tomorrow. FYI, maybe try to get a couple other screenshots of M6 Spartan Laser, but with a better background, like not snowy? More like desert sand color almost, something like that. What is that funny glow-blur, that St. Elmo's Fire-type phenomena thingy? --Xamikaze330

? Where? Vegerot goes RAWR! [[File:Icon-Vegito2.gif|21px]] [[User:Vegerot|<span style="color:midnightblue; font-weight:bold">Vegerot</span>]] ([[User talk:Vegerot|<span style="color:grey">talk</span>]])  01:01, 17 October 2011 (EDT)!

How are you taking these screenshots? In Campaign or in Multiplayer? Whichever way make sure it's something like on the sands of Sandtrap, or maybe somewhere sandy and sunny in Voi, Kenya, or on the Ark maybe, or ''something''. Surely this cannot be too much to understand (no offense), right? But if you are unable to, then these will have to do, just need to change a few things in Photoshop, hopefully with little or no problems. --Xamikaze330

No, I understand that.  I was asking about "What is that funny glow-blur, that St. Elmo's Fire-type phenomena thingy?"? Vegerot goes RAWR!

The, uh, little blob of light near the handle or trigger. That's what I'm talking about. What is it? --Xamikaze330

It's a teardrop.  It denotes where objects are placed by the player.  Pretty much a complex thing showing where it will respawn.  It was stupid so they removed it for Reach. Vegerot goes RAWR!

Oh, that's good. Still, if it's not too much trouble, please take some more screenshots of the M6 Spartan Laser with a sandy-type background, or maybe some green grass, with lots of sunlight, and hopefully that "teardrop" of light will be slightly less noticeable. Do whatever works best. --Xamikaze330

Well, the Covenant Carbine scopes screenshots are excellent, but the newer M6 Spartan Laser screenshots from ''Halo 3'' were not quite what I had hoped for, but I made do with the previous ones I already downloaded. So, all in all, thanks a lot! Please keep checking back with me on the above list! Btw, did you get the screenshots of the Type-31 Needle Rifle's scope and the M6 Spartan Laser from ''Halo: Reach'' yet? --Xamikaze330

No, and why is the current one not sufficient, respectfully.  P.S. For all the ones that you have completed, you might consider crossing them out from the list above (<nowiki><s>here</s></nowiki>).  Just a suggestion. Vegerot goes RAWR!

A), your probably forgot to put up a  new link, or B), If you referring to the current screens of the M6 Spartan Laser, then it is because they are not "perfect" dead-on profile shots. As for the ''Halo: Reach'' M6 Spartan Laser, I just don't like that bothersome black shadowy edges around them. Not to worry, though. Everything will be fine, you will see. I'm actually quite pleased with all the screenshots I downloaded, and I think you shall really like the end results. Just a few tweaks, and they are ready to go. Stand by, and prepare to be impressed, or whatever. Oh, FYI, they are on my [http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/ DeviantART] right now, if you want to view them (I make it so it is easier to find on the Internet, rather than just having them isolated to one site). --Xamikaze330

What's wrong with [http://www.halopedian.com/images/4/4e/Ih_shotgun01b.jpg this]?  Also, was there something wrong with the Fusion Coil, Forklift, and Sentinel images, because I can't help but to notice you have not removed them yet. Vegerot goes RAWR!

First off, I changed your comment a little bit b/c the image you posted is way too big. And secondly, that image is not something I wish to edit in Photoshop without being accused of copyright infringement (because it belongs to Isaac Hannaford), something people do not seem to understand despite my [http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/journal/ official statement] in my journal, and thus have been forced to take other measures to preserve what little is left of my honor as a Halopedian. So, if it is not too much to ask, could you please get me those screenshots I asked for, please? Besides, this image does not have the kind of color tones I wish to display, in fact, it lacks in color other than black, grey or white. That is another reason why I wish for these screenshots. So, please accept my humble apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused. --Xamikaze330

'''UPDATE:''' Just forget everything about DeviantART. I'm making a move to Tumblr, a website that is much more art-friendly than the former. I was really just doing a service, with no thoughts towards profit. It'll still be there, albeit with much less artwork posted. But still, for the sake of Halopedia, I would still like to have those screenshots, when you have the time to take them. Just wanted to let you know. --Xamikaze330

Yeah, I've already submitted it to Halopedia, but someone else keeps taking it off, claiming that it "looks exactly like the one(s) already on the page". As for the legal stuff, I'm going to try to find a way to contact both Bungie and 343i about what I've been doing on DeviantART, promoting and community interest in Halo (as well as effectively advertising for Halo), with absolutely no thoughts towards profit, only doing a service, as I've constantly insisted that I was. But that's only if I can find a way to successfully contact them, preferably by email. Otherwise, I may just have to stick to PhotoBucket--I'm just trying to make it easier for people who love great digital art such as myself
to be able to find what they are looking for. Halopedia is of course the primary website for all things Halo, just sometimes what one is looking for does not pop up on a Google search, like getting Google hits, if you know what I mean. Let me know as soon as you have those three or four images ready for me to edit in Photoshop, so I can submit them to Halopedia. --Xamikaze330

== Images and anti-aliasing ==

First off, you've done a fine job with most of your image cutouts so far, but looking over some of your reuploads, I have to ask - how exactly is making the edges more pixelated supposed to improve the image quality? To illustrate an example, [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/4/4e/20111026191909%21Engineer_renderized.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/4/4e/Engineer_renderized.png after]. All the difference I can see is that your version lacks the anti-aliasing of the original, making the edges more jagged. In the following image: [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/7/71/20111006164800%21H2V_Elite_Major.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/7/71/H2V_Elite_Major.png after], even the colors in the new one seem lower quality when closely inspected. The color quality downgrade and the edge pixelation can also be seen in these: [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/a/a7/20110825151748%21PORTABLE_COMPUTER_H3-transparent.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/a/a7/PORTABLE_COMPUTER_H3-transparent.png after]. So what's the deal with that? To me, anti-aliased edges look much cleaner than the "sharpened" ones. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 16:31, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

I've wondered what all that "pixelating" thing was called. Now that I do, perhaps I can rectify that, with a little time and work. But to answer your question, especially with the H2V Elite Major and Minor, I just didn't like all the unnecessary blurriness around the edges, so I tried to change that by indexing it, and by default, the colors become anti-aliased. But maybe I can fix that now. Just need to do some research, though. This can be fixed. Oh, about my other renders I did myself, I used Refine Edge, with contrast set to 100%. So, sorry about any inconvenience I caused, I was just trying to help improve the quality of the images. What I did seemed to make them look a little better. Anti-aliasing isn't all that bad, I mean, they are plenty of indexed color images already on Halopedia that I did not already change to indexed color. I will try to fix this, without the anti-aliasing, if you like. And even if you don't, it may still come in handy in the future. --Xamikaze330

:I, too, share Jugus' concerns. I was wondering why you removed the added anti-aliasing in several images; images look better with anti-alias rather than without. With regards with the Elite Major image, it appears you've added some noise onto the colour... is that due to the indexing? — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 20:19, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

::Uh, yeah. That little part of indexed color is kinda hard to control. There is no checkbox for aliasing and/or anti-aliasing, and I kinda wish there was, or at least something like it. All I wanted to do was remove that blurriness. I have to admit, I do have perfectionist tendencies, although I do not consider myself a perfectionist, just a guy with perfectionist tendencies. Furthermore, I kinda like it a little bit better when it is aliased, because it makes the edges more sharply defined. Some people don't like that, and some others do like it. If you like I can re-apply the blurring to the images, albeit with a reduced blur. --Xamikaze330

:::When cropping image edges with Photoshop's cutting tools (such as the polygonal lasso, which I tend to use since it makes it rather easy) it anti-aliases the edges by default. I think it's for a good reason, since it makes the edges more smooth and thus more natural. See [[Wikipedia:Spatial anti-aliasing#Examples|the Wikipedia article]] for a more detailed explanation on why it's a good thing. Also, there is some actual blurriness to be seen in the original Elite Major image, but the others didn't really even need any improvement. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 05:53, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

Very true. I actually use the Quick Selection tool, but I never really tried to use polygonal Lasso tool. Most of the images I've done have their edges "sharpened" by default when I set the Refine Edge contrast to 100%, without it being anti-aliased.It's a technique I'm still working on refining every time I do it.  --Xamikaze330

'''UPDATE:''' I just tried the polygonal Lasso tool, and I must say I am very impressed with the results. Of course, by default, the checkbox for anti-aliasing was selected, but I was able to override it by (again) using Refine Edge, with Contrast set to 100%. Results still reasonably impressive. No aliasing or indexed coloring. Almost perfectly smooth, yet edges sharply defined, no blurriness. Beautiful. Thanks for the tip! --Xamikaze330

== Inclusion of "transparent" in filename ==

Just wondering if you could avoid adding such as the above in future images/filenames. I personally think it's unnecessary and the best of practise to keep it as short as possible. :) — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 15:52, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

So, I am unable to edit your sub-pages myself since it is limited to you and the Administrators. Here's what you should do on your part:
*I've created nine dead links that would redirect you to your sub-pages. Since I don't have access to those sub-pages (even when they are red-links), you would need to click them and paste the relevant images to your own liking.
*[http://www.halopedian.com/index.php?title=UserWiki:Xamikaze330&action=edit&oldid=961749 Click here] to access the images data. Just copy them and then paste in the sub-pages.
*Click save and you've finally create a sub-page. Repeat this step as much as you want.

Having a game guide also helps too. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 22:32, 23 October 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330
