== COF & Paranoia branches ==
{{Message
Hello again! I've been putting off creating a Cry of Fear engine branch page but recently delved back into it. Turns out it's connected to the Paranoia branch ([[Talk:Cry of Fear#PARANOIA -> Cry of Fear|which you pointed out, actually!]]) and I'm unsure if Cry of Fear tweaked it a bit or just used the Paranoia branch outright. I'm debating whether to have separate pages for COF and Paranoia... or just one combined page. Since info is scarce and Paranoia features also apply to COF, I'd like to hear your opinion on this! What do? :) --[[EvilEMG]] ([[User talk:EvilEMG|talk]]) 13:26, 03 March 2024

| Please refrain from creating pages with zero content. Redlinks are useful for knowing what pages need to be created.


{{Message
Hello. I meant that, in fact, Cry of Fear has paranoia’s roots. But perhaps it would be worth pointing out that this has progressed much further than just using code of paranoia, since a lot of new things have actually been implemented in COF, and the banal presence of multiplayer already speaks volumes (and the graphics... the water effects) And I’ll remind that paranoia is exclusively singleplayer mod. I consider both options that you presented acceptable. It would be quite correct to create an article about the both engines, with information I will try to help you and supplement it with what is possible. --[[NOUG4AT]] ([[User talk:NOUG4AT|talk]]) 16:07, 3 Mar 2024

== Protagonists ==
| user = NOUG4AT
Hello! I apologize for coming to you for every little thing. I feel somewhat guilty but I'd rather not risk making a mistake! So while I was updating the {{hl2ra|4}} article, I was wondering if mods' protagonists should have separate pages, stay within the mod page, or not be mentioned. I checked other pages for inspiration, but most lack templates and aren't recent. And if I DID create them, the only thing I'd have available would be the [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dr._Gordon_Freeman Gordon Freeman] page.
| time = 22:10, 23 Jun 2023
Just imagine Entropy: Zero, a standalone article for Bad Cop, diving into details like his personality, story, appearances, voice actor... Or The Patient from Nightmare House 2, or The Protagonist from Swelter, or Adam Ivanov from Logistique... I've got a whole list. --[[EvilEMG]] ([[User talk:EvilEMG|talk]]) 18:00, 05 March 2024

== Sandbox page edits ==
Hello! It's okay if you need something. I am always ready to help or advise you on anything. I think it is possible to create separate pages for the characters (of mods and etc); this is quite correct, and besides, there are already same several pages.<br>

| I updated your fgd page template at [[User:NOUG4AT/Sandbox]]. Most games and mods don't have their own SDK, so it's better to avoid that wording. Additionally, I made a small (slightly messy) edit to avoid having an extra line at the start of the FGD.

== About XBLAH's Modding Tool. ==
Good afternoon NOUG4AT, I was wondering if you could possibly help out with adding a feature to the Wikichievements, I think it would be a good idea to add a scroll feature to the userbox version if possible as it seems to overflow and look really bad. I figured I would ask you as your more experienced with template coding than me --[[Seal Enthusiast]] ([[User talk:Seal Enthusiast|talk]]) 08:58, 08 March 2024

| Hi. I hope you are doing fine. Could you check if [[Detail_props#Third_Party_Tools]] is now better in that format? If it is, I'll modify the other articles I've edited before to follow that pattern. Actually, I'll use [[WAD]] format if that's ok.

| Hello. Your additions have a place to be and should be. Your article is large and quite step by step. Wouldn't it be better to save some space of other articles and create a "see also" section. where there will be a link to your article with the necessary section for example #creating_wad. It is better to paste an additional link than constantly copying parts of your article. See also just implies useful articles in addition to the main one. this wording is also suitable for almost any article in addition to what you can use.
}}}}


== About marking deletions for templates ==
Sorry I should probably be more specific as it does not translate well to russian, the user box version appears to cut off achievements if you have around 5 of them, I was wondering if you could add a feature where you can drag left or right to allow you to see all of them --[[Seal Enthusiast]] ([[User talk:Seal Enthusiast|talk]]) 08:58, 08 March 2024

I also added one feature related to increasing the limit of materials from 32 to 2048, I heard about this a long time ago when I was using HLMV++, or rather trying to use it. If you can say more about this, I will be glad, if I am not mistaken.<br>

I will fix up the page, the chromebook I use the VDC on I had to repair so I couldn't edit it, I have been messing around with it and it makes Source games look better than their source 2 ports! I will be including a guide for install, setup, and modding. The problem is VAC possibly thinking its a cheat client. As far as wayback machine, Valve may be archiving the site and moving the VDC to a new URL on a new engine, but that's just the copium hitting hard.

Hope you're good. I ran into an issue while finishing up the Category: Prism Game Studios Ltd. page.

Since i saw you the latest editor for [[Networking Entities]], i wanted to say if you could help me because i keep getting blocked by the website from unknown reason, i moved the page and subpages since the ''Lang'' template is Deprecated, [[Networking Entities/en]] needs to be replaced with ''Langsp'', could you help? --[[N0one]] ([[User talk:N0one|talk]]) 19:09, 11 Apr 2024


The developer and publisher sections only have the company name, but that's somehow linked to Category: Prism Game Studios Ltd. games. Any idea how I can change this? I don't wanna merge the Prism Game Studios Ltd. games category either, since Prism Game Studios DID make a game which isn't a mod, Portal: Stories VR.
Most likely I edited the section separately, because I was also blocked by cloudflare. --[[NOUG4AT]] ([[User talk:NOUG4AT|talk]]) 4:06, 12 Apr 2024

== Question about ModSoftware ==
| user = NOUG4AT
| time = 10:25, 16 Feb 2024
| 1 = Everything is fine, thank you. Regarding that... This is because on the page "Portal Mel," it is indicated as "Type = Game" and not a mod. That's why it's in the games category. I changed the line; you can take a look ([https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Portal_Stories%3A_Mel&type=revision&diff=386246&oldid=367952 here]), and you can do this in the future.<br>I also want to thank you for your edits, but in some instances, you're doing it a little incorrectly. You should conditionally create these lines on one page (the main one):<br>
{{codeBlock|<nowiki><onlyinclude>{{Organization category
| name = Prism Game Studios Ltd.
}}</onlyinclude>
</nowiki>}}
For example, this should be located in ''Category:Breadman''. The games/mods categories should already contain simply <nowiki>{{:category:breadman}}</nowiki>(Category:Breadman info). I hope you understand this mechanism, despite my poor explanation. This is for the future so that you know. Also, pay attention: the line <nowiki>"|about="</nowiki> is used so that when you click, you will go to the main page of the campaign. I made a kind of solution with the organization "Breadman," indicating a link to him profile, since I wasn't sure whether I should devote a separate article to him (maybe yes, not sure). If there is no such page, then simply delete <nowiki>"|about="</nowiki>, and if there is, then indicate it (link (VDC!)) or set the value to true (category name - will link to the page, example the: category:breadman to the page in "about" - breadman). See [[:Category:Breadman]] and sub-categories as reference.

Hi NOUG4AT, I have some questions about what you added to ModSoftware's deletion info.

The problem arises when a person can make 1,000,000 useless edits at once for spamming purposes. Imagine how much time it will take to change all this, and we still won't be able to block their access immediately.</strike> I sent a letter to ValveSoftware at four email addresses.

COF & Paranoia branches

Hello again! I've been putting off creating a Cry of Fear engine branch page but recently delved back into it. Turns out it's connected to the Paranoia branch (which you pointed out, actually!) and I'm unsure if Cry of Fear tweaked it a bit or just used the Paranoia branch outright. I'm debating whether to have separate pages for COF and Paranoia... or just one combined page. Since info is scarce and Paranoia features also apply to COF, I'd like to hear your opinion on this! What do? :) --EvilEMG (talk) 13:26, 03 March 2024

Hello. I meant that, in fact, Cry of Fear has paranoia’s roots. But perhaps it would be worth pointing out that this has progressed much further than just using code of paranoia, since a lot of new things have actually been implemented in COF, and the banal presence of multiplayer already speaks volumes (and the graphics... the water effects) And I’ll remind that paranoia is exclusively singleplayer mod. I consider both options that you presented acceptable. It would be quite correct to create an article about the both engines, with information I will try to help you and supplement it with what is possible. --NOUG4AT (talk) 16:07, 3 Mar 2024

Sounds good! I'll go ahead and create both pages. Also greatly appreciate the help, this is awesome!! --EvilEMG (talk) 23:04, 03 March 2024

You’re welcome! --NOUG4AT (talk) 2:59, 4 Mar 2024

Protagonists

Hello! I apologize for coming to you for every little thing. I feel somewhat guilty but I'd rather not risk making a mistake! So while I was updating the Riot Act Riot Act article, I was wondering if mods' protagonists should have separate pages, stay within the mod page, or not be mentioned. I checked other pages for inspiration, but most lack templates and aren't recent. And if I DID create them, the only thing I'd have available would be the Gordon Freeman page. Just imagine Entropy: Zero, a standalone article for Bad Cop, diving into details like his personality, story, appearances, voice actor... Or The Patient from Nightmare House 2, or The Protagonist from Swelter, or Adam Ivanov from Logistique... I've got a whole list. --EvilEMG (talk) 18:00, 05 March 2024

Hello! It's okay if you need something. I am always ready to help or advise you on anything. I think it is possible to create separate pages for the characters (of mods and etc); this is quite correct, and besides, there are already same several pages.

I see. I asked since those pages are from Half-Life 2 characters and there's none specifically for mod characters. Neat, thanks again! :D --EvilEMG (talk) 18:38, 05 March 2024

Well, you will be the first to do this for the mod... PS, I think this is a pretty good idea. --NOUG4AT (talk) 19:26, 5 Mar 2024

E1M2: Just need a little space

☑ Resolved.

Good afternoon NOUG4AT, I was wondering if you could possibly help out with adding a feature to the Wikichievements, I think it would be a good idea to add a scroll feature to the userbox version if possible as it seems to overflow and look really bad. I figured I would ask you as your more experienced with template coding than me --Seal Enthusiast (talk) 08:58, 08 March 2024


(using Template:Message) Hi! Well, to be honest, I don't understand what you want, what exactly do you want to expand? The achievements? I made some edits to your profile, take a look and undo it if it ruined the look. --NOUG4AT (talk) 15:12, 8 Mar 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I should probably be more specific as it does not translate well to russian, the user box version appears to cut off achievements if you have around 5 of them, I was wondering if you could add a feature where you can drag left or right to allow you to see all of them --Seal Enthusiast (talk) 08:58, 08 March 2024

Ah, thank you! I understood. Well... i think its can be implemented. --NOUG4AT (talk) 15:19, 8 Mar 2024

Thanks, It looks great! --Seal Enthusiast (talk) 09:38, 09 March 2024

You're welcome! I'm glad. But this addition has some issues. --NOUG4AT (talk) 17:04, 9 Mar 2024

Vandalism Neutralized

Hey, I saw the vandalism on the recent changes page. I'm glad it was taken care of pretty quickly! --DavidSon713 (talk) 12:18, 25 Mar 2024

Hey! Yes, it was. Thank you if you find it, either delete it or notify about it. Looks like HaammerEditoor is having an spring aggravation, we need to be on guard xD --NOUG4AT (talk) 12:23, 25 Mar 2024


(using Template:Message) I will definitely be sure to deal with it, when I saw it you guys got to it immediately haha. LOL, yeah! --DavidSon713 (talk) 12:30, 25 Mar 2024 (UTC)

ETD

Were you able to play the mod or not yet? --DavidSon713 (talk) 15:49, 27 Mar 2024

Oh, i see. I just found out about this, when I have time I’ll play it, I don’t have BMS installed, if I do I’ll leave you a review. --NOUG4AT (talk) 15:59, 27 Mar 2024

Okay, no problem! --DavidSon713 (talk) 16:14, 27 Mar 2024

By the way, thanks for making a proper link and the language subpage! --DavidSon713 (talk) 16:14, 27 Mar 2024

And for fixing my profile haha! --DavidSon713 (talk) 16:14, 27 Mar 2024

No problem mate! You're welcome. --NOUG4AT (talk) 16:31, 27 Mar 2024

Networking Entities

Since i saw you the latest editor for Networking Entities, i wanted to say if you could help me because i keep getting blocked by the website from unknown reason, i moved the page and subpages since the Lang template is Deprecated, Networking Entities/en needs to be replaced with Langsp, could you help? --N0one (talk) 19:09, 11 Apr 2024

Most likely I edited the section separately, because I was also blocked by cloudflare. --NOUG4AT (talk) 4:06, 12 Apr 2024

(select hl2, portal2 and some mods from my library)}} will lead to this on pages Networking Entities/en and Prediction, but everything will be fine on page Source Multiplayer Networking and discussion pages, so this “bug” does not work everywhere. --Max34 (talk) 6:44, 12 Apr 2024

Question about ModSoftware

Hi NOUG4AT, I have some questions about what you added to ModSoftware's deletion info. What do you mean when you say "unnecessary formatting" I figured it would replace mods using <b> as those don't look very nice and its useless to create a bunch of {{software}} for unknown mods --strubium (talk) 12:46, April 15 2024

Hello, I replied to you in your profile. --NOUG4AT (talk) 17:53, 15 Apr 2024

I think i found the problem with release planned on Software page

......}}</nowiki>, the {{{2|}}} maybe the cause, because i replaced it with {{{release planned|}}} and it worked. (tested the section on my sandbox page) --N0one (talk) 16:07, 30 Apr 2024

It will indeed fix this problem. I think you can apply this edit, and that would be great! I'm thinking about this too, a direct rather than {{{2 would be better to avoid formatting issues. --NOUG4AT (talk) 18:23, 30 Apr 2024

What's going on?

So I've been inactive in the VDC for a few months due to school and demotivation. And now that I've finished school, I see that the software template is being removed, or.. something. Why do people think this is a good idea, what even led to this decision? I'm lost.

Dead image on Category:NOUG4AT_mods

Hello! Your category Category:NOUG4AT_mods references a nonexistent file named Organization Cover - NOUG4AT.jpg. This is just a heads-up, as I'm going through and cleaning up the wiki. If you can do something about this, such as uploading a new version of file, that would be appreciated. - CHILLMODEA (talk) 02:23, 9 June 2025 (PDT)
