Pips
Hey, Salak, look at the discussion here. -Varaan 08:00, 5 December 2007 (CST)
The gold Captains pips I only added because someone was already using them and the pips were trying to be like mine, but looked horrible next to all the other perfectly good ones, so... not my fault, but I'll fix it anyway. What do you think of the updated Ronin NPC listing? :) Wasn't sure what to do with the Civies, but the rest were simple. -Jackford B. Kolk 09:06, 5 December 2007 (CST)
marine Ranks?
Hey Salak I just want to make a request that you and wolfie, and the gang look into this please.
Right now in Reality, the Marine Corps. belong to the Army, and have army ranks despite being involved with the Air Force and Navy! Now a good friend told me that SB:118 does not allow marine ranks. why not? aren't we suppose to make this as realistic as possible?
BFinfobase have the pip images and you can go on wiki, to see the comparative which is the following:
Ensign : 2nd Lieutenant
Lieutenant J.G. :1st Lieutenant
Lieutenant : Captain
Lieutenant Commander : Major
Cmdr. : Lieutenant-colonel
Capt. : Colonel
Commodore : Brigadier-General
Rear Admiral : Major-General
Vice Admiral : Lieutenant-general
Admiral : General
Fleet Admiral : Marshall
I think adding this to applicants form will also add a new dimension to our entire simming, and the department is known as "Marine Corpoarations of dettachment"
even Memory alpha have these ranks listed...
I hope you do accept this suggestion. :)
Some considerations
Hello there.
Salak, I've been talking with our good friend Zekyel about this.
Memory Alpha has a Comparative Chart for StarFleet Ranks and 21st Century Mil.
The discussion here is: Can a SIMMER use the 21st Rank structure for Marines and other Ground based military units on SB118?
As far as I know, StarFleet re-structured the entire military ranks, so the Marine Corps use the same structure.
Actually, Marine Corps are not officially listed as valid Post of Duty on SB118.
What do you think my friend?
Regards!
Jhen
No that was me! When I applied the character was called Jhan but I mistyped it as Jhen later on and it stuck. Hutch 04:55, 23 December 2007 (CST)
Boiler Templates
Whoops... forgot that *chuckle* DCody 08:29, 2 January 2008 (CST)
I've been cruising the Help Section and familiarizing with what you, Varaan and Wolf have been doing and have a question: would it be easier for what remaining Fleet ships are left that do not have navs to create templates for the specific area (Active, Inactive, LoD) as was already done for the boiler templates? DCody 18:26, 4 January 2008 (CST)
- Yep... that's the idea, in any case. -lol DCody 10:16, 11 January 2008 (CST)
StarFleet
Poo on you. I like StarFleet better! --Wolf /talk page 12:25, 13 January 2008 (CST)
Hiding boilerplates
I don't know how it works. You should find an example on Wikipedia, look at it's template page, see how it works, and try it here :) I don't think it has anything to do with javascript or HTML -- I'm sure it's a function built into the wiki. --Wolf /talk page 18:22, 14 January 2008 (CST)
SB118 Attached
I'm curious as to why you're listing the Constitution and Ronin as SB118 attached? Also, we can remove the Columbia, as that's really more just an Inactive ship. And I'd call these "Attached Sites" or "Attached Installations" or "Attached Outposts" or something similar, since they're not all ships. --Wolf /talk page 18:37, 14 January 2008 (CST)
Mainpage Pic
I'm trying to get a drop shadow in behind, and one extension makes it solid, another leaves it as a drop shadow but puts an ugly colour in the background that isn't supposed to be there, etc. Each one looks fine in photo shop, and crap when I upload it here! -Varaan 13:23, 29 January 2008 (CST)
- Finally got one! BTW, what do you think of the new upper section of the mainpage I did? Good points, bad points? -Varaan 13:27, 29 January 2008 (CST)
RE: Template:Susan Banks
Hi Salak, I've been trying to get the menu on the left... period. Only have it on there. I finally figured a way to do it. I DID create a template. But when I put {{banks}} at the top of the main page it didn't show up. So I did the next best thing I could think of: I put the entire code in. And it worked, too. I really don't want anything complicated. Just the two pages.
Instructions are not for beginners. I've found that once I learn how to do it, then I can understand the instructions. I really do want to learn this. I'm reading the instructions over and over again. Somehow I'm missing something. Susan Banks 10:01, 30 January 2008 (CST)
RE: More about templates
I did want the single name [banks]. I now have figured out how to do it with ease. Take a look at Carrington and Chen for me. Did I get it right this time? Susan Banks 20:55, 2 February 2008 (CST)
RE: Irrelevent pics
As my character profile had stated, there are some classes of ships that are Federation standard that belong to the faction my character is associated with. I've posted some and pictures of his homeworld and some pictures of relative. If some seem irrelevant and would cost, I'll take away. No one ever told me there needs to be a limit. - Jacen
- I COULD put up an entirely seperate page about the faction my character originated from, but that might take time. Please tell me what CAN I do about writing and tell me directly again about the pictures. I'll mark the ones that are relavent and even write a page about them so when u click on the pictures in the gallery, you get a page of relavence about them. I got time to write specs on the ships of this faction. I'm a creative man.
- The first few is obviously what my character looks like. I picked Christian Bale cause he's a favorite actor of mind. I'll take a couple more off if the ones of him are bothing you. I'll take off a couple of the others as well. There really isnt much to work with here on my character and his faction. I thought it would be better to just compress all the information about him and his people in one page. If I am allowed another page to actually write my character's faction, then I'll think of something.
- The other pictures of people are my character's immediately family, his siblings in particular. I havent decided what his parents should look like as a reference. If you click on each picture, there is the page of them and a small description
- I dont know how to caption my pictures. I can explore around the buttons and see if i can work with, but just tell me how to make captions so u dont have to click on every picture for the more detailed page about them.
- What do you think I've done with my page so far. I am looking for feedback and advice. Ask me any questions and tell me things I should remove over what is relevant or not.
- I am starting to write about the sections about Gaia first, I need to know how do i do a particular edit
- I'm using this page as a template, but I want to put a picture of Gaia on the right top side like the one in Memory Alpha and then under it, the general list of information. Can you tell me how do i do that?
H92o conversation with Salak
- first off thank you so much for all you do.
- The spinning globe is like 7-9 actual images placed on top of one another. so shrink I could do cause I have the original I could also cut the number of images as well. see [1] GNU Image Manipulation Program -- if you like I can convert any flat square image to a spinning globe when needed with Gimp.
- Just to let you know I have developed just the titles of new species in our Eagles science dept. - I think I might of gone a little to far with some but If you want to categorize the ones that you thing are promising - thanks in advance for the help.

Thought it was time for me to site the source of my pictures. Been meaning too. Yeah, that Firefly hangman game traps me too, lol. :) Alana 21:03, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
Stellar Cart. vs Astromony
Technically they're not the same thing. Stellar Cartography is the geography of space, while astronomy is the scientific study of space and its contents (not all of which would be "geographic" in nature). If anything, Stellar Cartography should be a sub-category of Astronomy. -Varaan 11:15, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
Re:Main Page
Did I miss the memo?!?! :) -Varaan 08:52, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
We need an "OOC note" template
I think we need a way to show OOC data inline with the rest of an article. Any ideas? I was thinking a combination of sorts between something looking like the new cleanup template, and the SB118 ship nav template.
See Trinity Sector for how this would be used. --Wolf /talk page 02:04, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, I've given up on all the complicated stuff Wikipedia does with templates. There seems to be some coding in place on their installation that's not obvious to me and can't easily be done here.
- I'd like to segregate the OOC text a little more, just because I don't think the indent/italics is entirely obvious for noobs. Plus, I think it'll force people to include only OOCs which are logical. I think the stuff about positioning in Trinity Sector is a bit out of place, personally. --Wolf /talk page 02:36, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
User:Salak/Main Page
Must be a Firefox issue, then. --Wolf /talk page 04:43, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, looks like it is. One thing I did notice, however, is that we need to line up the title boxes. In the featured article box, the title is, say 5 px from the edge of the box, but in the "Browse 118 Wiki" box, the title is say, 10 px from the edge of the box. --Wolf /talk page 04:45, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Template:Ithassa Region
I haven't been editing that actually... and I would prefer that you didn't revert it since the nav bar holds links to various articles one wouldn't be able to access without it. DCody 13:17, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
