Your IM?

Also, I'd like to know at leats one of your IM Usernames, so I can keep in contact, if that's OK. --TwoTailedFox 17:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Okies, I've added you, just waiting for you to accept. --TwoTailedFox 17:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


Use Ideal808 for Card Images. They don't have all the early ones, but they have practically all mid-life English and Japanese Card Images, that are actually at a decent resolution.

Also, when storing card images, the eventual goal is to have -every- card image catalogued, so it would be good if you could store them via a naming convention I came up with. Example:

TriHornedDragonLOB.jpg

Now, at that point, I hadn't fully realised that each card has different language versions, so tags like -JA (i.e. TriHornedDragonLOB-JA.jpg) for Japan, -US (TriHornedDragonLOB-ES.jpg) for Spain, -DE (TriHornedDragonLOB-DE.jpg) for Germany, etc, with the default images (TriHornedDragonLOB.jpg") being English language (Which is perhaps the fairest I can make it, since this Wiki is primarily English in nature, both in content, and it;s original target audience --TwoTailedFox 17:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


Hi.

The problem you describe ia a fault of the software, since the # character is used to pinpoint a specific place in an article. So, we have to resort to Crawling Dragon 2 instead of linking direct to Crawling Dragon #2 direct


Hey Thanks....

I'm actually uploading all the images from my own personal collection that I've scanned over the last few years. The images are all .gif and 400x580 at 600dpi. The resolution is the key to the images that I've been uploading. Figure everyone should be able to read the card for themselves :) Again, thanks and I'll keep working until I get tired and decide to finish my Yu-Gi-Oh! Game and Database Manager.

BTW: How is UW these days... been a few days since I graduated from their.

--Pcouw

mmm... well given that I do want this site to be the best site for images and information about Yu-Gi-Oh! I think I can handle the "conditions". But I would like to say a few things... after a little testing with image quality and size can I suggest that images be 85% or better image quality vs. image size, 275x400x24b jpg images with preference to 1st edition images. Since there is a preference for 1st release, using 1st edition images where possible would make sense.

That aside... is there a way to do mass uploads? I can convert my collection via ACDSee to these requirements, just hope there might be away to upload quicker.

When it comes to "sets" I noticed there is the full list for TCG at the bottom of the mainpage and then there is the "completed" sets... which is correct for the naming of new pages since there is some discrepancy. For example, the GBA 2004, 2005, 2006 World Championships don't have the full name in the title (ie. 7 Trials to Glory - 2005 World Championship).

--Pcouw

Just read my page and saw what you were talking about... note I uploaded 3 images that were previously on the server already... once I read the page, I stopped... SDY and SDK are done imagewise. Other than that, nothing new...



I noticed the problem you mentioned... the funny thing is once I refreshed the page and cleared my temporary internet files it went away... not sure if there is just a conflict or a problem... give that a try before deleting all the 275x400 files. Actually the more I upload the most F5 I have to do... I wonder if its just the server hanging? --Pcouw

IMS?

Do you have any ims? --Evil Yugi 00:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, i'm working on that. --Van Ludwig 07:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Japanese Characters

I started on this about 3 days ago with TwoTailed watching over my shoulder all the way. He went along and removed the () for the 「」 but never said that he didn't want the Japanese names alongside the English ones. In my opinion it completes the cards information since nearly all cards are Japanese first and then have an english "Translation" to them. It's for completeness and really nothing else. Other names like French or Spanish aren't necessary since our target isn't that audience but this game is based historically on a Japanese idea thus including the Japanese names seems to be appropriate. If you know otherwise, please inform me... or TwoTailed can decree what is the idea for this site. --Pcouw 14:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I was just checking but it looks like TwoTailed agrees with the Japanese names since he reverted the Dark Magician to include the Japanese name.--Pcouw 14:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


Someone started adding the Japanese Text, and it looked OK from over here. It also provides a potential quick-snap reference to the Japanese Name for -any- card. --TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 14:28, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


Counter Trap

Ah. I was just gong by what previous lores have read, none of which have shorted "Counter Trap Card" to just "Counter Trap".

Talk:Horakhti the Creator of Light

Please refer to the talk page for information on the card on the article. Big Boss 21:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

You keep reverting to an incorrect effect for the card pictured. Please respond on my talk page for more information. I would really appreciate it. I am trying to be as diplomatic as possible. Big Boss 21:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't the real life version of the card override the manga/anime effect such as Card of Sanctity? Big Boss 21:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Question

I hate to burst the proverbial bubble but the real versions of the card were awarded at Konami sponsored tournaments. So wouldn't that constitute it being officially printed? However Upper Deck had nothing had to do with the release of the 10 Horus cards. They were also legal in all later tournaments. The suprising thing is that they have different effects. So how would this wikia handle something like that? Would it be like the Arkana and Yugi Dark Magician or not? Big Boss 02:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Answer

I don't know. Why would Konami make Blue Eyes Shining Dragon in English before making Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon? To put it simply I do not have all of the answers. And I never will. But to my knowlegde of why there is no copyright would be that since they wanted to make a card that is practically unplayable they would leave it off. This might also be the case if they printed without getting consent of the creator of the manga/anime. This could also be the case if someone outside of Konami made the design for the card. As far as no card number when Konami first made cards they did not put numbers for the series which the card belonged to. As far as your god card question I for a while wondered why the god cards would be able to have so much power and why they were the only 3 monsters with the Divine attribute. The answer is that here power does not come from a card effect but their attribute. That is what shield's them from other card effects. But as far as individual card effects I do not know if the Divine attribute applies to this or not. Even in the movie the god cards had the text that they have in the real world. So I can conclude that my above theory is probably 95% accurate. Big Boss 20:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Horus

Buy this month's shonen jump. Yugi summons it in this issue. And they did play the memory arc saga on tv about a year ago. Big Boss 15:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Text

So far everyone that I have talked to has said nothing about a line that says the name of this card is treated as """. That may be the way that they made the card illegal. Making multiple versions of the same card with different effects. Big Boss 15:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Card Article Images

According to card article policy the earliest print of card images are to be used. -- Deltaneos (talk contribs) 11:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
