Image format question
Thanks for the welcome! I did have a question and haven't found an answer yet. I noticed that the existing maps for Vilverin are JPEGs though my first impulse when taking a screenshot is to save it as a PNG. Is there a preference for .jpgs due to size, or is that just what the uploader happens to have used? One of the maps for Vilverin hasn't been made yet, and I want to know whether I should save the screenshots as PNG or JPEG when I go back there to map it. Saxifrage 22:03, 26 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'd say use your own discretion. I'm no expert on file-types, but I do use JPEGs since they tend to be smaller in file size. The Gamewikis server admin Gravewit said there was no shortage of disk space on his talk page, though that was in March. So I don't think it really matters at this point; if you think a PNG will show the intended image better than a JPEG, go right ahead. \*\ Hellhound43 22:20, 26 December 2006 (CST)

Special Pages
Hey Hellhound, here are some reference pages to refer to in regards to the wiki: -- theSpectator talk 14:42, 27 December 2006 (CST)
 * Special Pages – Usually you can find a lot to do there
 * Category:Candidates for deletion


 * Thanks Spec. I agree with deleting those three images, so I'll go ahead and do it. I'll wait on getting rid of Oldblivion though. Been fairly busy making $$ the past couple days and trying to juggle stuff. I haven't even started with my ingredient maps yet :( . \*\ Hellhound43 15:26, 27 December 2006 (CST)
 * EDIT: Did I delete those wrong? They still appear in the category. \*\ Hellhound43 15:33, 27 December 2006 (CST)


 * Just refresh the category. -- theSpectator talk 17:39, 27 December 2006 (CST)


 * Probably just my browser cache, they still appear. As long as you can't see them. \*\ Hellhound43 17:46, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Hatred's Heart and Soul
Hey Hellhound. I saw on your page you wanted to make an article on something concerning a leveling daedric weapon. I've never even seen anything about this weapon, and since whatever gate you go has nothing to do with wherever you found this weapon because, as you know, any gate except Great Gates will always take you to one of I think 6 different Oblivions, and it's always random. As far as I understand, I would have to go to Oblivion to do this, and since I have already finished the main quest recently, I most likely cannot obtain this weapon I know so little about. Just tell me a little concerning this weapon(s) and post the information on my page, if it wouldn't bother you. Thanks. Dragon of the Imperial 01:30, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Hellhound. I tried the link to the forums, but I was rejected because I was logged in as User Name? And it said I was banned until 2032 or something. ... And I'm somehow being remembered on this computer, because whenever I just try the forums page, I can't link to anything else. It freaking thinks I'm a hacker or something... And I just need to make sure, if it does go into one of the Oblivion templates, and its done, don't you need any special prerequisites? Dragon of the Imperial 10:49, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * lol, talk about bad luck. If by special prerequisites you mean needing to be a certain level, no, you jsut have to find the weapons. \*\ Hellhound43 10:52, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Image uploading failling
hey, i'm currently doing the Rockmilk cave article but i have a problem uploading the maps. The first map went fine but i can't upload the second. I tried to upload it as a JPG aswell as a PGN. After that i tried uploading other images (JPG or PGN) but nothing works i keep getting the same error :

"." is not a recommended image file format.

I hope u can help me out. frits


 * Hmmm, so it doesn't work at all now? Do you have a file extension specified in the Destination filename, such as image.jpg? If you have made sure of that and you still have problems, forward this and my reply to User Talk:theSpectator. He might know, I've never had any trouble with the uploader. Sorry I can't help more. \*\ Hellhound43 09:04, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Enchanted weapons
Started some work on the enchanted weapons, including a template. Let me know if the changes where not what you had in mind. Tig 06:57, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * The template looks good, but it's exactly the same as the weapon template with a different color. Add an Enchantment Column on the end of it on the right where you can list enchantments.


 * I was hoping there could be a template for leveled items as well, but I have no idea how to make one if it is even possible, since not all of them are leveled to the same degree. Thanks Tig. \*\ Hellhound43 08:58, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * The template is almost the same as the 'weapons' one, but is included in the weapons one, and   in the new template (which I thought was a bit of a double edge sword, it is both a good idea and a bad one to embed the category in a template). I think adding another field for the enchantment is not a great idea. I'll see if I can come up with something better that incorporates everything a bit cleaner. Tig 16:43, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Knights of the Nine
I was looking at your Knights of the Nine Pilgrimage article, and if the player has done EVERYTHING like me...(I've completed every single quest) How am I supposed to answer? I suppose that once I get the download, I'll be able to try and figure it out. Dragon of the Imperial 03:52, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * If you mean answer the Prophet's question, the quest continues when you answer 'no' regardless of what you've done. As far as I know, when you complete the Pilgrim's Way your infamy gets set to 0. I can't confirm that right now since when I did the quest I had 0 infamy from the start, and still have 0. \*\ Hellhound43 11:49, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Hellhound, I was looking at the Knights of the Nine thing, which I downloaded and started, and I realized that the way you word the entire article can be extremely confusing. I need a small collaboration label stuck on the entire Knights of the Nine page and have all the sub-pages be labeled open for cleaning. Dragon of the Imperial 03:52, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * If you are referring to the quest articles, except for the "disambiguation" page I didn't write the quest articles themselves, just modified a few of them. Time is not bountiful for me, so needless to say I will get it done it's just a question of when. So go ahead and get started if you like. \*\ Hellhound43 08:53, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Well, I think it should be a collab. Hmm, well if you have seen all the articles, ... the protagonist? Sounds like someone just learned something. Have you done the quest yourself? I've been stuck inside Fort Bulwark for hours, trying to get past the gates. I could use some help. Dragon of the Imperial 12:30, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * Yes I have done the quest in its entirety. Which puzzle is it you are reffering to? The one with the items? I don't remember the other one but jsut tell me I'm sure my memory will refresh itself. \*\ Hellhound43 14:24, 5 January 2007 (CST)

I've just finished the entire quest. I overlooked a switch in the fort, ... (I'm an idiot.) I need a community collab on the entire page. Should we talk about it to Spec? Dragon of the Imperial 16:10, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * Hmm I think I'll just change it. Spec put up the cave collab on the 19th, about two weeks ago. I'll still leave it as a collab but I'll change the focus to the knights articles. \*\ Hellhound43 16:13, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Alright, I'll get to work. Dragon of the Imperial 16:37, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Lich
You mentioned your character was a lich. Is it possible to transform into one on the 360? If so, how? Skober 23:58, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * No, I'm afraid not, unless there happen to be third-party mods on the 360. The Lich transformation ability was part of the Oblivion Enhanced mod, though it was bugged and unfortunately unplayable, at least with my character, which is why he is "finished." Oh and welcome to Obliviowiki! I somehow missed greeting you. \*\ Hellhound43 00:16, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * Too bad, but thank for telling me. Also thanks for welcoming me. I've been using the Wiki for a 'bout a month now, but just finally figured out how to use it (scrips and such). By the way, are there any third-party mods (if so how would it be downloaded to the 360)?--Skober 08:58, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * As far as I know, the only mods you can download on the 360 are the official plug-ins released by Bethesda Softworks. The list can be viewed here. If you want to know more about those plug-ins on the 360 or how to get them, it would be best if you asked Dragon of the Imperial. \*\ Hellhound43 11:14, 7 January 2007 (CST)

Holy Crusader Armor
Hellhound, there is no light Crusader armor. --Dragon of the Imperial 18:33, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * Are you sure it can't be obtained? It exists in the data files – there is a light version of every piece of the armor and the enchantment is the same for both versions. The pieces are also refrenced in the script and a variable controls which one of them gets distributed. Whether the game decides which one to give based on the PC's skill or just by using the console to switch the variable, there is a way to get light armor. I'm hoping to find out more. \*\ Hellhound43 19:46, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * For the 360, its most likely impossible. The description of the mod at elderscrolls.com states its a set of heavy armor. --Dragon of the Imperial 21:26, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * Never mind the description. I just checked it. However, have someone with a 360 complete the quest with high light armor level. I am a heavy armor user, and my HA skill level is 80 and my LA skill 56. Do that for the PC and the 360. That should clear the issue, because I hardly think it random. And concerning all types of armor having a heavy and a light counterpart is unlikely. --Dragon of the Imperial 21:32, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * There is light armor Crusader armor. My character has some pieces of it (going through the quest now). And yes, they do make heavy and light counterparts depending on your character's stats (whichever one is higher). It does the same thing with the armor of the Arena (actually, you choose, but there are light and heavy versions, nonetheless) and when you beat the main quest. I think there's another quest or two that has light and heavy counterparts. -- theSpectator talk 16:38, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * I supposed there might be a light everything. As for the light Crusader armor, are there any visual differences? I'd think not. And, as for every armor, I think it is the higher level that will end up choosing heavy or light. --Dragon of the Imperial 18:31, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * There isn't a heavy and light version for every armor in the game; just a few quest-related ones. As for visual differences, it's exactly the same. -- theSpectator talk 19:25, 7 January 2007 (CST)
 * I can confirm the deciding factor on which armor you get being decided by which you are more skilled with. I played the quest out with a light armor character, and got light armor Crusader's armor.  My brother played it out with a heavy armor character, and got heavy armor Crusader's armor.  What I really want to know is if you have a balanced skill level, can you get, for example, heavy gauntlets of the crusader and light helmet of the crusader?  --Scorpion451 10:29, 25 January 2007 (CST)

As far as I know, even if your light armor skill is only higher by say 1 skill point, you will still get light armor. I'm not sure about what happens if they are exactly the same, but I would assume that the one with the slightly higher rating would be chosen. \*\ Hellhound43 11:28, 25 January 2007 (CST)

Recent Update
Hey, Hellhound, I noticed that there is a copy of Oblivion coming out for the PS3 that will have all the mods up to Knights of the Nine and that there will be several minor differences in the look of the characters due to a different graphics engine. What should we do about that? I was thinking we start a branch for the PS3 version, and have the rather small differences monitored by someone that will be an administrator exclusively for the PS3 version. Otherwise, the PS3 users can refer to our content here on OblivioWiki. What do you think about this? --Dragon of the Imperial 11:24, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * Well we could probably let the PS3 have its own article to outline the differences and such, especially if there's something significantly changed (or just on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion article). Other than that, I don't think it would be necessary unless it really is a whole different game. \*\ Hellhound43 11:28, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * As far as I know, the PS3 version hasn't been released yet, but I think it should be in the main page, just to outline the differences, as there could be some essential ones. --Dragon of the Imperial 11:42, 7 January 2007 (CST)

Hello there
Thanks for the welcome!

Hey I also have been starting playing Oblivion for like a month or so, and I got all those damn achievements already! But anyway, a question.

¿Does wearing Armor all the time is considered cheap? Because my Nord character that is at level 35 if wearing armor is nearly non-stoppable, but if not wearing any armor or using a shield spell, a damn mountain Lion can finish her off with some slashes.

Also, do you consider some creatures to be "overpowered" in the game?


 * Well no I don't consider using armor "cheap", but usually by the time I get to around level 30+ most creatures/NPCs can't do much against me anyway. If you do find the game too easy you could increase the difficulty using the slider in the options menu; I use it all the time. If even then its too easy you could always start a new character who is intentionally "held back" to make a more challenging game.


 * I don't think that there are any overpowered creatures, at least not in their own right. Some though might be a bit tough to counter with the character you have created, such as for me being a vampire having a fire vulnerability I have a harder time with mages or daedra who use fire spells.


 * By the way, please sign your comments on talk pages please (if you don't know how, use ~ ). \*\ Hellhound43 00:43, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Sorry, I'm new to this parts. I knew it, there can't be any overpowered creatures because they have weaknesses, although some don't, but have normal weaknesses, isn't it? I should try the vampirism gameplay, in some hours, because my 360 doesn't wants to read my Oblivion disk right now... thanks. But wait... I knew about the difficulty slider but... I tried it a little with some normal creatures, like a simple skeleton. At level 15 it would deal like 20-25 damage even if wearing Armor... that's just... so bad. Now Imagine a Mountain Lion... I play at 55% difficulty because neither I or my foes have an advantage, although I admit, the game right now isn't hard for me, I never get killed. But I don't think I would feel better if I move the difficulty slider all the way up... CarbineSoldier 01:06, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Deceiver's Finery
Thanks for your reply to my article Deceiver's Finery. I'm using this Wiki for a long time and it's really useful! When I came across the Bad Medicine quest, and I saw that there was no page for this item, I decided to make it. I should've searched for it first though. And I'll make more use of the preview function in the future... :P But who should merge it? Are there any regulations on that?? --Forcepoint 11:18, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * Not really, just try to combine the best of both articles. I'd do it but I don't have time for now. If no-one gets around to it I will eventually. Thanks. \*\ Hellhound43 14:25, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * In that case I'll give it a try ;) EDIT: See the results at Deceiver's Finery. I don't know what should be done with The Deceiver's Finery (deletion maybe..?) --Forcepoint 15:03, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Lich

 * Dear Hellhound43...

you have on your page the fact that one of your charcters is a lich, how did you go about doing that? Does it have something to do with the quest for the dark brother hood that you have to kill the lich with that hourglass, or is there some other way? Please post on my user talk page: Happy Pill 15:05, 5 February 2007 (CST)Happy Pill

Re: Welcome
Thank you for the welcome! I was wondering if you could assure me that Sir Berich is the ghost in Sword of the Crusader that wields the Crusader's Sword? I haven't made it that far in the game, but I was told by someone that it was indeed the disgraced knight Sir Berich. Thanks! Ripberger 00:17, 16 February 2007 (CST)


 * I had thought it was Sir Berich, but the name of the wraith at least is Lord Vlindrel actually. It's been too long since I've done the quest myself so I'm not sure if they are the same soul. Your welcome. \*\ Hellhound43 09:12, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Finished?
Earlier I posted on the Talk:Arena page that I wanted someone to get the Arena names for champions, i got the names myself so do I just delete the topic? Lnk2128 4:46, Febuary 22, 2007
 * No need to delete the topic. Just add the list of names that you have under the "Championship" section of the article. --theSpectator talk 17:10, 22 February 2007 (CST)
