Re: Harrison

Yes, I 100% get where you were coming from and would've said the same if I were in your shoes. Again, am sorry for the dup files & issues caused. As you said, I will keep an eye out for missing files on live pages and will re-add them, if they aren't re-added by the time I see em.

Also, from now on, before adding files which are part of a set of images (e.g. NPCs) will first make sure they aren't already uploaded and if they aren't will make sure to name them correctly by finding similar files.

Example: [Adding Dozer to /NPCs] > [Check if Dozer image is uploaded] > [If not uploaded, check for other NPC images & copy file name syntax] > [Upload Dozer under "File:NPCDozer.png" instead of "File:NGSUINPCDozer.png"]

Above is an example of how I will conduct thorough checks when I encounter missing info/files.

Note: You might want to keep the few files I uploaded of "AC Scratch: Original Creation C" items, so you don't go through the hassle of reuploading them when the scratch is out, but it's up to you. They are correctly named and are the correct images (names were taken from the official pso2.com website & filename syntax was takes from similar files).

Update: If you are able to, just delete all files named "NGSUINPC[Name]" even those that aren't duplicates, will fix the NPCs page afterwards and upload the files which aren't already on the site under the correct names.

[Super] Late Response

Hi, not sure if this is where I was supposed to respond, it probably was.

1) This page - In all honesty, forgot it existed. Adding a notification type system to the site might help (just a suggestion), sins I personally didn't know this was written here.

2) Editing in general - Didn't know filenames mattered, was under the impression that only the site's file names mattered, so as long as it's named correctly on the site uploading e.g. "image.png" didn't matter. Also, didn't know about the dds2png converter & png optimizer people used for images on this site - was using GIMP to simply import dds images and then export them as png with max compression.

3) [Harrison/NPC Images] - Sins the site didn't have the images for Aina, Manon & Dozer uploaded (which were the first ones I added to the page), I used the filename's syntax of "ui_npc_npc" which translated to simply "UINPC", and after seeing some files named "NGSUI###" decided to name them "NGSUINPC[Name]". Did NOT intend to cause any issues here, didn't know there were NPC images already uploaded under "NPC[Name]" and didn't know they were displayed in /Tasks. To keep syntax, and from making the edit page look "wonky", I simply uploaded all NPC images under "NGSUINPC[Name]" which probably, most definitely, wasn't a great idea, but in doing so did add images the site [didn't have/were removed]: Aina, Manon, Dozer, Xiandy (Halloween 21), Xiandy (Winter 22), Xitre (Spring 22) & some others. Have also made the "NPCs" page look a lot better than what it used to be - a list of titles & names.

4) [Harrison/Editing Conflicts] - After this week I see that you have everything covered, and will stop making "major" edits. Also, wanted to say that I am sorry for the problems caused, especially with the "Original Creations C" stuff - wanted to apologies for that for a while now, but didn't know how to.

5) Conclusion - From now on will stop adding stuff to pages on the site - e.g. [cosmetic entries], [weapons], [armors], anything else that may be considered a major edit. However, I will still contribute to the site in the form of: corrections, missing info addition & "minor updates". That's if you are ok with that. - e.g. [adding missing stamp commands], [correcting implementation dates], [correcting position of entry on the page], [adding missing weapon/armor stats], [updating an outdated image (like the location of the "Kvaris Devastators" portal)], etc.

Re: Editing Conflicts

Thanks for understanding, and sorry about the Talk pages being a messy way of communication, I don't really use them too often for that reason alone, but your account should hopefully be reinstated within a day or so. Right now I'm currently working on a few more additions, but I'm just letting you know I'll do a batch of housekeeping work (probably tonight if I have time) which will remove a lot of the duplicated or unnecessary files that were uploaded, and might accidentally remove some other files that are being used right now in the process, so if you happen to come across something on the live pages with a missing file, please feel free to fix those. Thanks again for your understanding.

Editing Conflicts

Hi, I genuinely appreciate the gesture of you trying to assist with the development of the site, and I want to thank you for doing so. However, within this week, there have been numerous occasions and conflicts where work on this site has already been prepared, scheduled, and uploaded, as it has always been for the year I have been managing, or at least trying to manage, this site.

As nicely and regretfully as I can put this, I kindly ask that you please leave all the managed work which I have been doing to myself, so the punctuality of this wiki isn't hindered by counterproductive edits and likewise. As I write this, I am not working on additions to the site, but rather having to resolve editing conflicts like these. There are also a lot of other problems that have arosen that I now have to deicide to resolve, such as the 79 duplicated NPC images which occurred within the previous month, the duplicated files that were uploaded just now, and the 50~ Cosmetic Files were prematurely uploaded and put on live pages, which contradicts with how the flow of how articles have been updated for the past entire year.

I genuinely do not want you to see me as dismissive or selfish, but truthfully, at the moment, the foundation of things on the site are being edited and published at a unproblematic rate, and as such, I really do not require the assistance of other users when it comes to this. There are certainly a lot of sections where I cannot complete, and could never dream of completing, and will need assistance in doing so. Xeno has kindly provided the Titles page with a plethora of information which I could never do, and has helped filling in empty bits and pieces where I mess up. Jared is doing an excellent work on developing and contributing to the Weapon Camos sections, categorizing the camos managing the base weapon camos of the game. Nack helps an astonishing amount with their contributions. I don't want to begin to think about how much Time or Ultimatecalibur has contributed to the site, but wherever there are places I do not have the time to do, or places where I do not have the expertise to do so, they have helped considerably. Classes, Status Effects, the Main Story, and so on. Everyone who corrects my silly oversights and mistakes.

So please, I really hope you don't take any of this the wrong way, but I hope you understand why I needed to write this to you. I know things are not very consistent across the site, and I know things aren't perfect across the board. I am trying my best to work on that. But in the meantime, I kindly ask for your understanding and patience when it comes to things, and whatever nonsense I put onto pages, or whatever things I don't focus on, I hope you or any other of this site's contributors will be available to fix my mistakes and nonsense.

NPC Images

Hi, I'm not sure if you're aware, but most of the NPC icons have already been uploaded and can be seen under the /Tasks page. Some have just not been displayed, but are currently under the "[name]NPC.png" format (was already like that).

Hey Space, noticed you tried uploading some images, I'll point you to the files I use. In the PS Fleet's discord search
in: jp-wiki-development 4,600
(Channel) what to search
You'll find 1 post jump to & you'll see a file PSO2_Images.7z.
It contains all Weapon, Ring, & Unit images aside from Global's Turkey Leg Camo and maybe a couple others.

Tools

The file contains DDS files, you'll need to convert them yourself visit ( http ://www.ddsconverter.com/ ) to download the converter. (when converting makes sure to make them png files, its an option on the program)
skipping ahead, once the files run through the converter then you'll need to compress the PNG file visit this site for ( https ://psydk.org/pngoptimizer ) & download the optimizer
after you optimize the file(s) you'll have 2 of the same images ui_item_1010001(optimized image) & _ui_item_1010001(can be deleted). then its ready for upload. aside from naming the file (of course). I've broken the links with a space, just a heads up.

Notes

Just thought you might want this since I saw the Felicity Edel image upload attempts, sorry if I overstepped my boundaries, but its not like I know your discord to point you to this or ask about it for that matter. Thought of putting this on your talk page, but chances are you'll see this first so here it is. Additionally I've created a talk page for you or others to reply or give a piece of your mind for doing this to your user page.
