Can't be bothered making a tutorial, but here is a five-minute hack job of the concept. =P It's pretty easy. –SonicMaster 23:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I know. Yesterday I just learned how to do it myself by making myself a test map using AGZ3 as reference, after Kuja asked how to do it on #Srb2fun. I realised there was no tutorial here for that concept, so that's why I requested it. I'm not really sure if I should do it though. Monster Iestyn Talk
Linedef Details template
That template is not meant to replace the prose description. They're meant to coexist: Everything that's in the table should be written out in prose. I've automatically reverted your edits for now, but I will integrate your tables later on. That doesn't mean your input wasn't helpful, but it's easier to edit this way.--SpiritCrusherTalk • Contribs 07:21, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

You know that day that he go be unbanned ? *udl* 19:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
No, he's permanently banned, which means he isn't going to be unbanned. --Monster Iestyn Talk 19:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Contribution to my Unlockables page
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for optimizing my added article "Unlockables" a bit :]
I also want to thank you for tons of other stuff :P, you know what stuff.
My main language isn't English so that's why some stuff was kind of, stubby.
Think of this as some sort of small medal on your talk page :P - Digaly 18:13, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Some curious things about Object flags
Hey, Monster Iestyn! After reading this revision of yours on your Usage_Lists page, I got intrigued by the use of flag MF2_BOSSNOTRAP by action A_MonitorPop. I went looking for any other uses of the flag elsewhere just to be sure, but found nothing. It seems that destroyed monitors are identified as such by their current state. The use of the boss flag is probably something old that was left behind.
Anyway, when I was looking through the code, trying to find how dead monitors were identified, I stumbled through some obscure feature of SRB2. I don't think this is known, at least I couldn't find it anywhere on the Wiki.
When a monitor or a pushable object falls on top of a player, they kill the player instantly. This is known already and is more relevant to the pushables than monitors (you don't see any bouncing monitors on the official levels =D). However, if the object (pushable or monitor) has a target and that target is a player, then the target player is awarded points for the kill of the player who was crushed by the falling object. It turns out that when a player pushes a (pushable) object, it becomes their target, and so effectively you can kill players in Match, for example, by dropping gargoyles on top of them (good luck with that =D). I tested the feature with pushables in splitscreen just to be sure and it works. I think it also works with monitors if you somehow manage to pop a falling monitor before it hits the other player below (this works because when monitors are popped, their target becomes the player who popped them).
By the way, I found this information in file p_map.c, function PIT_CheckThing (just search for lines containing both MF_MONITOR and MF_PUSHABLE flags).
I'm going to add this information to the Object flags page, I just wanted to share with you my little adventure on that jungle code =P --Ricardo [Contribs] [Talk] 15:56, 8 June 2013 (CDT)
To be honest, I've known of all that since a while back, but it never occured to me to put it down on the wiki, silly me. =V But whatever, great that you went ahead and did it anyway. =) --Monster Iestyn Talk 16:49, 8 June 2013 (CDT)
Requesting a new page
Hey there Monster Iestyn!
Prisima and I would like to create a new section on the Lua page, along with a new subpage for the same page about something we named "Community Lua Library", which would basically be a table with functions contributed by users to assist on coding. We've made a Trello board before (here) with a bunch of functions already, like launching a player based on an angle or copying a table, and others.
Pretty much that. --Rapidgame7 (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Rapidgame7. This library you two have put together does sound cool, though wouldn't this be better posted on the SRB2MB? That way it's more likely people will hear of the library and use it and such. As it is I've barely heard of this library myself, so it's probably not something I'd put on the wiki's Lua article right away.
If you guys do post it on the SRB2MB and it becomes super notable or something though, maybe things will change? I don't know that for sure though. =P --Monster Iestyn Talk 19:31, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
I thought on posting it on the Wiki first because everyone can contribute, but I'll piece together the Trello board with a MB post and see what happens. Thanks for replying! --Rapidgame7 (talk) 19:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
Could I blank or edit most of my user page?
Perhaps it's my feeling self-conscious of my younger self, how much I've changed since then. But yeah, I can't edit my user page anymore. –SonicMaster 06:52, 17 February 2018 (UTC) (Scarbo)
- There you go, I unprotected your user page. --MascaraSnakeTalk • Contribs 08:54, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Would I be able to change my username to Scarbo? –SonicMaster 04:26, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
