==Information Wanted==
I couldn't find a "Articles Wanted" page or anything, outside of the help desk section, so I thought I'd just go ahead and ask in my talk page :). I'm wondering if anybody has information about the '''VOX system''' in the original HL/TFC. I was curious as to how much of it is implemented in HL2 and mods. I was wondering about the size of its vocabulary (I just typed it as vocabularity :P) and stuff. Mainly curious... no hurry... any info is appreciated.

: Your best bet is probably to search through the old VERC documentation... But I doubt they bothered porting the VOX system over to HL2. http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?area=entity --'''[[User:Campaignjunkie|Campaignjunkie]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Campaignjunkie|talk]])</sup> 12:52, 6 Nov 2007 (PST)
== huh??? ==
uhh so Im off the net for a week or so and the mod's declared dead???  why cant i get into the dev forums??? I'm just grounded for a while... you guys are going to have to fill me in on whats going on... --[[User:FittyYen|FittyYen]] 17:48, 11 Nov 2007 (PST)
:Nobody is working on it? That's when it a mod usually dies. --[[User:Baliame|Baliame]] 07:04, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)
::FittyYen - I couldn't get in contact with you, and the forums stopped coming up, so I assumed that you had shut them down. Since I couldn't do anything on my own, especially not without a programmer, I considered the mod, at this point was dead. It can be brought back easily, we just need to be able to do something with it. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 07:17, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)
:Hey, I'm willing to do some programing for the mod. I need something to force me to really dig into the code anyways. --[[User:Grash|Grash]] 19:33, 15 Nov 2007 (PST)
== Spam Patrol ==
45 out of the my last 50 edits (before this one) have been spam deletions. It's really flying thick out there. Perhaps it's time that we got this upgraded to a more secure system, because while it doesn't take me but a few seconds to revert it, I'm about to go to bed. And while somebody else is sure to take care of it, it's really annoying at times. I could be making cool mods and levels instead of doing this :). Anyway, good luck to whoever comes after me. Suggestion - tabbed browsing is your friend. You can get a bunch all pulled up and once and just breeze through them. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 19:33, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)
:You're doing a good job bro. btw, we're practically neighbors ;-) --[[User:Mark WiseCarver|wisemx]] 06:35, 13 Nov 2007 (PST)
::Thanks man, I've been working hard at it, I hate that crap. You know, I was thinking, we need a custom barnstar for spamfighters on the VDC. We go through so much more of it than any other wiki I've seen. I'm going to think about a design. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 06:46, 13 Nov 2007 (PST)
:With the ban wave that Jeff put out recently, hopefully it will calm down for a while. [[User:Karrus|Karrus]] 22:38, 15 Nov 2007 (PST)
== Links not generating correctly? ==
Why do my links always turn into redlinks for REAL articles. And THEN, when they're clicked on, it takes you to the page + edit box and everything? I've looked repeatedly under preferences, and I cannot find anywhere where this is affecting it. The links themselves are the same as wikipedia, correct? <nowiki>[[My first mod]]</nowiki> - [[My first mod]]. It shouldn't bring up the edit dialog. Is it happening for anybody else?... :P
:Try to capitalize the first letter of each word i.e. <code><nowiki>[[My First Mod]]</nowiki></code>, which will be presented as [[My First Mod]]. --[[User:JurgenKnops|Jurgen Knops]] 10:38, 13 Nov 2007 (PST)
::Thanks Jurgen, how silly of me. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 10:43, 13 Nov 2007 (PST)
== Editing ==
Whoa dude why all the edits on my stuff, I dont mind the C17 stuff, but not my user page cit's. It's fine but as i would like to know what exactly did you edit?--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 10:50, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
:He fixed about 5 spelling/grammar thingies. No biggie. --[[User:Baliame|Baliame]] 10:52, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
::Okay, just wondering, usually last time i had some edited it, they totally spammed the page out and said things like CSS ROCKS! and whatnot. I later found it it was someone i fired....--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 10:54, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
:::I apologize, I didn't mean to alter your user pages and stuff. I've been going over everything on [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Maintenance&subfunction=mispeelings] and trying to get it taken off the list. I'm not trying to spam or touch your work, just performing simple clean-ups. Thanks for understanding. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 10:59, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
::::Sure no problem as it seems you are quite on a roll today so goodluck ;_).--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 15:23, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
== American vs. English ==
Why did you feel it necessary to alter all the British English spellings to American English on the Ham and Jam page? Apart from maybe the word "formulae" being mis-spelled, none of the other words were spelt incorrectly, just the British/European way which is neither wrong or against Wiki guidelines. Sorry to go off on one but I get sick to death with our mother-tounge being "corrected" unnecessarily.  -- [[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 16:12, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
:Reverted it back, Please respect the type of English the author has written the article in. Only correct the spelling if it's incorrect in any popular type of English. --[[User:Frostbite|Frostbite]] 17:24, 14 Nov 2007 (PST)
::I apologize, it didn't even occur to me that it was the British English spellings on that page. I was going through all the pages that were listed on the maintenance page, and then running over it using Firefox's built in spell-checker and changing the ones that I agreed were wrong. I wasn't focusing too closely on the actual content of the page. In retrospect, if I had, I can tell I would have noticed this. I'll take more care in the future to avoid making this mistake again. Again, I apologize for my error. [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 04:27, 15 Nov 2007 (PST)

:Well, at first I couldn't figure out what was causing the problem, and then it kinda grew on me, to the point where I was wondering if I could get the edges to look more like a cast shadow instead of a border. Eventually I just left it alone. If you know how to make it look like a shadow, let me know. Otherwise, just thanks anyway for fixing it :) [[User:Hectate|Hectate]] 09:49, 19 Nov 2007 (PST)

Your user page

I took the liberty to adjust the broken bottom part of your user page, feel free to revert it if you don't like it. --Baliame 08:41, 19 Nov 2007 (PST)
