How'd you make such a great looking .gif? — Toshu (talk) 03:04, 30 January 2011 (PST)


 * I used FRAPS to record it in-game, I then had to make it a .avi to make it work in my Photoshop CS3. From there I changed the size and such and then saved it for Web & Devices.


 * FRAPS settings:
 * 30 fps, full-size


 * VirtualDub (encode it to an .avi movie Photoshop CS3 could read, not 100% on these settings though):
 * Video compression setting:
 * ffsshow Video codec with MPEG-4 encoder, mode: one pass - quality


 * Photoshop CS3:
 * Go File -> Import -> Video Frames to Layers
 * After you're done, go File -> Save for Web & Devices while there use the GIF 128 Dithered preset, uncheck the Transparency option.
 * I used this video for Photoshop, because I didn't know you could do gif files in Photoshop first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3MhUZCnk6E
 * Hope I helped nad you understand what I wrote! :) --Saucy 09:33, 30 January 2011 (PST)


 * Ahh, I was afraid you'd use the F and P words (Fraps and Photoshop). :P Thank you. — Toshu (talk) 10:43, 30 January 2011 (PST)

Linking pages
Hi, while I'm by no means an authority on this wiki, I think you should go ahead and add all the links that you can! For example, I added all of the links to the chapters (with a reg ex) on Items, Secret Locations, Moose, etc. As far as I can tell this wiki is open to anybody editing as long as it doesn't totally violate grammar and style! --XKCD 16:07, 31 January 2011 (PST)
 * Hey! Alright, good to know. Thanks for helping me! :) --Saucy 18:18, 31 January 2011 (PST)
 * No problem! (Hmmm.. that's a nice info box you have there, mind if I steal it? :-)) --XKCD 02:10, 1 February 2011 (PST)
 * Go ahead, I actually stole it from Dethklok52 and he said it was cool to let me use it. He said he designed it so others may use it as well. --Saucy 09:43, 1 February 2011 (PST)

nevermind :D --Dethklok52 20:57, 31 January 2011 (PST)

Image Categories
Hi Saucy, I dunno if you noticed but I've been working on some categories for images. Do you think for the future you could categorize your image uploads into one of these categories? I know it seems like a bit of a hassle but it'll make things a lot easier when the wiki grows and someone is knowledgeable about making a wiki bot. Thanks, --Arrow = Talk = Sandbox 13:25, 2 February 2011 (PST)
 * Hi Arrow/Sandbox, yeah sure of course! I didn't actually know you could input the while uploading, so I did it after it was uploaded, but lesson learned! --Saucy 13:30, 2 February 2011 (PST)
