Minimap Is Too Small, Can't Re-size It

Title explains the whole problem, please help. I made the model of the minimap small, it's not a bug. --Hjklrr (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Have you tried my tools with automatic minimap centering?

If this fails, please send me a working copy of the track.

Wiimm (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Umm, how? I'm not that good at this, and all that's in the track is the model and the super mini minimap. --Hjklrr (talk) 19:40, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Then asked again, if your track is playable and you have still problems with the minimap.

Wiimm (talk) 20:48, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

I mean that the track only has that so far, and all that I need the minimap for is the start line, player positions, and finish line. --Hjklrr (talk) 00:12, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Then send me the track. There is an existing minimap, correct?

Wiimm (talk) 08:51, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I sent the track, check your mariokartwii.com inbox, and please, please don't distribute the track until it's finished. Also, it's just the models, not the course file. That's all you really need to resize it. --Hjklrr (talk) 11:54, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

I have seen the PM, and it's not a running track file. I'm not willing to spent my time to create a SZS for you. Please try CTools BRRES Editor to create a minimap; it's very easy.

Wiimm (talk) 17:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Brres Editor keeps giving me an error, I do not ask you to make the SZS, I can do that myself, just please resize the minimap file and send it to me, that's it. --Hjklrr (talk) 18:42, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, and please, now that I have downloaded it, take that link down. --Hjklrr (talk) 10:24, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Message Board

Offtopic & Edit: I think that the wiki should have an editable message board. Like maybe you need someone to help with a custom track, or you need help with something and you don't know who to ask. --Hjklrr (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

We have 3 ways of communication:

1. Wiki Track Discussion
2. Wiki User Discussion
3. Forum http://mariokartwii.com/ → Mario Kart Workshop

Wiimm (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Umm, were is that? --Hjklrr (talk) 00:14, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Have you tried the links? -- Wiimm (talk) 08:51, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

.obj File Downsizing

Hi! I need help with this track I want to make (found on 3D Warehouse). The .skp file was about 9MB but the .obj file was over 175MB so it might cause very heavy lag. Is there a way to reduce the file size? --MitsySueG24 (talk) 21:53, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

You must reduce the number of faces. I'm not an expert in this. Best is, to ask in the forums of mariokartwii.com. If I remember right, I have seen there a thread talking about this.

Table: Track Name (Author) vs Track Name

I'm not going to say which is better, but would it good to have a bot change all the ports' tables to have the track name instead of {{PAGENAME}}?
-- Have a nice day, from ZillaSpaz 02:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

I think we must not spent out time in this now. But stopping the replacement of real names by PAGENAME will reduce future work.

Spam(bots)

I was wondering; do all those spammers have the same ip range, so we can prevent other spammers to appear? It is getting worse and worse last weeks.
kHacker35000vr (talk) 15:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Please Send me the address range (best is via PM) -- Wiimm (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I can't see the ip addresses, I was wondering if all bans were on the same ip range.

kHacker35000vr (talk) 22:41, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Will it be possible to let new users do a captcha first, before allowing to create their account? 5 spamaccounts a day is way too much.
kHacker35000vr (talk) 12:08, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Tock handled this (including wiki related question) until now.

Wiimm (talk) 12:50, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Wiimm, it would be nice if moderators could hide page names on deletion, but we don't have that option. Some of these spam pages have very long, convoluted page names that are just as bad as the spam content. --Jefe (talk) 21:40, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Time ago I was able to to it. But now I have only simple deletion rights as all moderators. I'll look, how to enable this at the weekend.

Wiimm (talk) 21:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Moderators have now 2 new rights (don't know, if both are needed): deleterevision, deletelogentry

After deletion goto the deletion list, mark the entries, press the button and activate "Hide action and target"

This feature is temporary enabled until Tocks permission. Be careful using this new feature.

DS Waluigi Pinball Beta wbz?

Hi, Do you have DS Waluigi Pinball Beta wbz file? I can't find it in your archive. --MitsySueG24 (talk) 01:00, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Sort the list by name and you can find it.

Wiimm (talk) 13:29, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... It seems like DS Waluigi Pinball BETA (Yoshidude+Turbo Yoshi).wbz is actually the Beta of the real DS Waluigi Pinball. I don't think its in the archive... --MitsySueG24 (talk) 14:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

You're right. And I haven't the track. -- Wiimm (talk) 14:08, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks anyway. --MitsySueG24 (talk) 18:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

WBZ Converter Default Encoding Program

What is the default encoding program for WBZ Converter for .sh files? I can't seem to make them work now that I use the CMD.exe --MitsySueG24 (talk) 01:56, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

It's not really clear, what you men. *.sh file are unix shell scripts. Independent of the script language, the standard conversion commands are "wszst norm --szs TRACKFILE" or "wszst norm --wbz TRACKFILE". However, my tools accept WBZ/SZS/U8/WU8 as input transparently if the auto-add library is available.

Wiimm (talk) 08:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Uh... I used the WBZ Converter (not Wiimm's SZS Tools), then I lost the "default" program of the .sh files. --MitsySueG24 (talk) 22:24, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
