Thanks

Hey Bleu Ninja, thanks for bringing all those older wiki pages back up to date! Many of them needed more TLC than we realized! It is very much appreciated! --Stux 21:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

You're very welcome! I appreciate the acknowledgement. -- Bleu Ninja 21:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Ripped Game Files

I see that you've updated images related to SBCG4AP by "ripping" the graphics directly from the game instead of relying on low-quality screenshots.

Some years ago I was working on completing the dialogue response pages for SBCG4AP. I did this by playing the game as atrociously as possible waiting for Strong Bad to drop hints or trigger unique error messages for unusual combinations, multiple times to see if he reacted differently if events were done in a different order. I'd like to ask if you have access to the game's source files, is it possible to rip out and examine all the dialogue recorded for the game, or can you only rip the graphics files? -- 68.37.43.131 00:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

It's possible to rip out and examine the audio files, yes, but unfortunately for that purpose the dialogue's audio files are named undescriptively (e.g. "92273664.aud") and conversations are split into different files whenever a new character starts speaking. I use the Telltale Explorer to navigate the games' data packs. While you could extract all the dialogue files and listen to them one-by-one to verify our transcripts, I don't know how (or if it's even possible) to access the code that actually shows how any of these lines are implemented. Not to mention there are unused sounds in the game files, too. -- Bleu Ninja 00:46, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

add ruffle?

Hey, the mirrors don’t have Ruffle on them so now they can’t be viewed. Maybe you could add Ruffle to them? TMBGLOVER 21:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm not in charge of the HRWiki's mirrors and I'm not sure who is. -- Bleu Ninja 21:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Thumbnail images for gifs

For the .gif file format, the image doesn't load in a thumbnail of a different size. In the case of Homsar Main Page right now, the thumbnail would have to be indicated at 360px for the image to show, which (I checked on Show Preview) is huge on the page. Do you think you could re-upload that gif image in a smaller frame? If not, that's okay too; the image still serves the intended purpose. The Knights Who Say Ni 01:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Just checked it and (at least on my end) the thumbnail is showing at 180px. If it would be better to be smaller, I can certainly reupload it at a different scale. -- Bleu Ninja 05:19, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Shows for me too -126.156.157.132 06:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
