[edit] {{delete}} vs #redirect

I have delete the pages you requested. But I would like to remind you that a #redirect is cheaper then {{delete}} because a #redirect won't need admistrator action (Check the history to make sure the request is not spoofed, check the authors "contributions" list etc. pp).

And we are not saving space in the database either - there is an "undelete" as well ;-).

[edit] Deleting Templates

If there is no good redirect you should mark them for {{delete}}.

[edit] Maple Story in Wikibooks

I think we can go ahead with your second example.

Map Name Monsters Notable Drops Suitable For Pros Cons Comments
Monkey Forest I Lupin (Lv 37, 1500HP, 77xp)

Zombie Lupin (Lv 40, 1800HP, 90xp, weak to holy, undead)

 Kumbi, Silver Crow, Leonheart Assassins and Archers level 45+, Warriors and Bandits level 50+ Lots of monkeys running around

Not bad money Good terrain

 Their attack hurts

No good drops

 Pretty bad training spot, but it's good for bore-breaking once in a while. Lupins hurt too much for this place to be a good spot for money.

And I think for the most part that a template on this simple matter would be a waste... although, if we change it in the future, a template may help us out. IMO, that is a good enough style and I don't think we would change it any time in the near future, so no template needed.

I like it as well. The Captain Returns 23:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

This may have a major effect on our wikibooks guide... I'll try to keep you updated on this, hopefully Jimbo will change his decision. --Dragontamer (again, not logged in)

[edit] Barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diligence
Hi Prod, I'm awarding you this barnstar for your effort in keeping MapleStory and related articles to a good standard. Without your assistance, I think those pages would be much for the worse. Thank you. enochlau (talk) 03:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you very much for grammarizing my free market addition. Sometimes, i have trouble using the right words. ~Cabd33~


I have read that there was a glitch that allowed people to use the item more than the permitted 1 or 7 days. Any clue if this is true?

[edit] .wz archive

Well I know you're on forums.xentax.com as Omega but hey, I've successfully imported much data from data.wz as possible but I can't seem to find the categories, what items are what. I don't know if the dumper didn't work properly to give me the category information but it's not a good thing when I don't that information. If you can help, can you tell me where I can find the category info? Thanks a bunch Mapletip 04:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Inside the directories are dumps with information such as level, dex, int, str, luk requirment, weapon attack, and more. Unfortunately, I don't have the category. The category tells me that if the item is a spear, pole arm, etc. Rick told me that it does exist in the data.wz archive BUT I can't find it. Mapletip 11:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Seems the dumper breaks down at weddingGL, I unfortunately don't know anything about python, but I only know PHP. So I was wondering if you could help me out :) Mapletip 02:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you ever get around to getting that .wz extractor? I found two new music tracks for I'm guessing Wuling and Hundred Grass Village, and I still haven't found any good extractors to get them. Sure nova extractor works, but I'd like the official file names for the tracks, might even see the English names of those new towns from those file names. -- Takiten 07:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for working on this. I don't really care as to where the music tracks play in-game, I'm just interested in filenames, I can always find out where they play in-game later when JapanMS gets the maps. You don't even have to extract the music if you can't, I'm able to get the music, but I don't know how to get the correct filenames. -- Takiten 18:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! Yeah that was just official KoreaMS, since it didn't have the two newest tracks I found in Tespia KoreaMS. But that did help me with Thai Floating Markets tracks "ThaiTown, ThaiField". -- Takiten 22:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah NightField.mp3 plays in Formosa (Taiwan) Night Market hunting grounds, it is pretty good. :) Here is the KMST install file, when a window pops up saying a bunch of stuff in Korean, click the left button to accept the install. http://maplestory.nefficient.co.kr/maplestory/MapleTInstall.exe . The music is in the sound.wz file. -- Takiten 01:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Pirate', 'MureungHill', 'MureungForest', 'WhiteHerb', Do two of those tracks sound exactly the same as ThaiTown.mp3 or ThaiField? (I don't know which is which yet). I guess KMST is just using placeholder tracks for two of those till they make new music. But yeah thanks for all the help. Now I'm wondering if I can learn how to do what you do too, cause I doubt you would be willing to help me every time a new area is released in KMST. :p I guess Mureung Is one of the new towns... probably WuLing. WhiteHerb looks like that Hundred Grass Village mini-map icon, maybe that town will be called White Herb Town/Village. -- Takiten 13:30, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Are there any .wz extractor? Because Nova extractor extracts all the sound files but I didn't hear about any img extractor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.197.25.221 (talk) 00:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
To automatically sign your name type ~~~~. I am not going to give out any further information about how to extract the data file. From what I can tell, after we successfully got through most of their data file, they changed the encryption. Use google, and you should be able to find enough information about this anywayz. -- Prod-You 05:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Prod, sorry for the interruption, however has there been any updates to the Korean MapleStory encryption? Global MapleStory is nearing there with its archives being split, similar to how korean maplestory is split. I've read your comments on the forum at xentax, however that's not going to help me out much until I can learn something about how bytes and such works, especially when I don't know how python works. Let me know what can be done. Mapletip 04:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you prod, if they do decide to release a new method of encryption or whatever, I will attempt to help you at anyway possible. It is very critical that this extractor is there as my site relies on it heavily. Mapletip 22:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Mason11987 from StrategyWiki here, not surprised you're doing work here too. :) Chris M. 23:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MapleStory on en.wikibooks

If you could, please mark all the images from MapleStory (or others) with the {{d}} tag. This way myself or another admin can sweep through them at a later date. Thanks. -withinfocus 20:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just Wondering

Prod, have you played maplestory? because IMHO i think that parties and rankings are not "minor" in the game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davud363000 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Recent patch

Hi Prod, this is Life from mapletip and the new patch comes with something that inteferes with the Lambda extractor. I've tried fixing it myself, however it seems I would get lost after trying to debug it. I believe the error comes from the fact that entries is equal to zero, causing it to have no possible index for the values. However, I am not sure since I am not a python programmer. If you can assist me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Mapletip 04:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, let me know what happens. Mapletip 22:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know what I have came up with so far. I have investigated far and realized the issue with the [2, 3, 4] error is that 0x01 is missing in "filetype = rU8(f)  ; checkA(filetype, [0x02, 0x03, 0x04], f)". Adding 0x01 will fix the error. Also, for some reason the value has decrease to 73, thus 0x73 must be changed to 0x49. The last issue, I have no clue what it is about. I get \\x2a\\x60\\x02\\x00 and it expects property. I thinking Wizet has changed their encryption, let me know what you think. Mapletip 05:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats on nearly ONE THOUSAND EDITS.

I like getting things done ahead of time, and I noticed that you have about 930 edits, so, yeah. Keep up the good work at MapleStory and Mu. The Captain Returns 00:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

You currently have 937. Enjoy. >_> The Captain Returns 23:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MapleStory (you can delete this after you read it)

Thanks for the reply. That what I had thought happened. Thanks for the feedback. For a first edit, it was rather... comforting that I didn't screw it up. Landus Mikain 05:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maple Story-related deleted page

I'm in a rush so I haven't got time now but I'll put a copy including the history on your user space in a couple of hours. If you can't wait ask another admin. Proto::► 18:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it's here - User:Prod/MapleStory character classes. The usual disclaimers - please do not recreate the article, as it will be deleted again, remember any deleted info you do merge into the main article (note that most of it is gameguide information and so should not be on Wikipedia) can be re-removed by other editors, and please ensure any information you add is referenced. Any questions, let me know. Proto::► 19:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article moved to your userspace

Hi Prod, per your request on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MapleStory world, I moved the article to User:Prod/MapleStory world. For more information on the Transwiki process, check out meta:Help:Transwiki. --Deathphoenix ʕ 04:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


Took care of it for you. Chris M. 14:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ragnarok Online deletion of Job section

On 21:52, 5 January 2007 you removed the "Jobs" section from the Ragnarok Online article, paving the way for the deletion of a dozen or so images that were relevant to and used in the article. Would you care to explain this? Kari Hazzard (T | C) 18:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

When you say you are going to move it to a new page, you should do it, rather than simply deleting the material outright, which is vandalism. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 04:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
I am aware of the AFD and I believe it was more than likely in bad faith. The information in question is not at all fancruft any more than the article on Black Mage is. We're documenting a subject, and the aspect of jobs in RO is one of the most important and distinguishable features of the game according to the game's producer.

[edit] About Fishing System in Maplestory.

On TaiwanMS page, I saw the Fishing System which is originally from ThailandMS. (I'm not talking about the Fish Catching) I marked TaiwanMS has the Fishing System and why did you change it to no? Can you please check the TaiwanMS Website? - wkkim9292 22:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MS mp3 files

Is there any site that have hotlinks to download the mp3 files directly. I only want those songs not available in OMS and MSea. Many thanks. OhanaUnited 03:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MapleStory Translations

Actually, I'm trying to keep all the names exactly how they appear in each version. So just translating the english town/road names to chinese isn't exactly what I want. -- Takiten 06:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah that's exactly what I want! Do you need the whole sauna website or just specific map links? -- Takiten 06:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
110000000 from ChinaMS, lets see if that is Florina Beach. -- Takiten 06:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah that works great! How about both street and map names for 221000000 in both ChinaMS and TaiwanMS? -- Takiten 06:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Why? I have nothing better to do... Yeah I have a boring life, I'm going to sleep too. Ok, here's as many I could think of that I need for both ChinaMS and TaiwanMS: 200000000 , 211000000 , 103000101 , 103000900 , 910000000, oh and 230000000 ... -- Takiten 07:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I guess the only map name I need now is the Yuyuan Garden in ChinaMS, but I have no idea what the map # is, since sauna/omega don't have those maps. If there is a way you can do a search for 東方神州 street name and 上海豫園 map name in TaiwanMS, and use that map # to find the ChinaMS map, that would probably work. -- Takiten 23:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
