From SRB2 Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hello there! I'm Monster Iestyn!

I used to be a fairly active member of the SRB2 community for many years, but I have now decided it's time for me to move on from SRB2. For more than a decade, I was one of the SRB2 Wiki's admins, a moderator on the forums, and a developer of SRB2 itself. (I was also a member of Kart Krew for a short while.)

When I started out here, I used to create custom content for SRB2 of my own, such as custom characters and levels. However, in later years I found myself more often helping other people with various little things, which I was always glad to do!

Outside of the context of SRB2, I also used to regularly submit MIDI sequences to the VGMusic.com website. I have not made MIDI sequences at all in recent years sadly... but I've seen over the years that a lot of people (on Youtube in particular) have found them useful for making remixes of video game music, which is good to know! More recently, I have become a regular editor of Wikipedia and related websites. The wildest thing though is that my real name has even appeared in a few scientific publications online!

Maybe I'll come back to the SRB2 in the future, who knows? For now though, I need a change. Change is good.

Seeya!

Hi Lol Sonic Tails Knuckles

To-do

Screenshot galleries for Versions articles

  • Take screenshots of notable features, or otherwise general level screenshots
    • Examples include Demo 3's extra characters, Demo 4's special stages, perhaps Demo 4.1's Knuckles sprites?
    • Xmas, Halloween and TGF need only general screenshots; they are sufficiently different enough in most senses
  • Not required for all Versions articles; those without significant enough changes from the previous version do not need screenshots
    • Demo 4.35 and some Final Demo versions come to mind mostly here
  • Warning: Only versions from 1.09.4 onwards can output PNG screenshots; all those before output PCX instead (to my knowledge), excluding TGF for fairly obvious reasons.

Overhauling old map articles

Mini-IRC log of discussion regarding this:

<MascaraSnake> Yeah, I was thinking we don't really need an article on levels like GFZ1 for every version
<MascaraSnake> It would make more sense to have one article on the current version and have a section in there that gives an overview over the changes between versions
<MonsterIestyn> what happens with completely different level designs, like in the case of all three acts of CEZ
<MonsterIestyn> do they get lumped in too or not
<MascaraSnake> If levels were completely remade, we can keep both articles
<MonsterIestyn> might make sense to actually link the old level articles from the latest in such cases

Thing types needing in-game screenshots

Templates

(all of this is very WIP)

Other (useful?) notes

Sorting of tables: Help page on Wikipedia

class="unsortable" (unsortable columns) section
data-sort-type="..." (data type for sortable columns, e.g. "number") section
data-sort-value="..." ("sort key" for a row, determines how row/cell should be sorted) section

Tables with horizontal scrollbars: Template documentation on Wikipedia

<source> with horizontal scrollbars? (Wikipedia tell us it works for pre):

<source lang="c" style="overflow:auto; width:auto;">....</source>
