Welcome and Advice

Welcome to the Wiki! It's always good to see new people on the site - I hope you find it useful. As a small favor, please could you use the "Show preview" button when editing posts? The Recent Changes page for the last few hours is dominated by your changes to Oblivion Mod talk:Modding Terminology, and each change has to be patrolled, which can be a tad bothersome for those of us to whom the task falls! --Rpeh^Talk 03:28, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Lol, ok sorry about this, no prob. You're right, and I was actually telling to myself the same thing, how I must've filled the history page for the "sake" of tiny irrelevant details... Next time I'll use an external editor. Btw I have a little technical issue (explained in my reply to your last comment), do you have any clue or link? Regards, --HawkFest 03:40, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Afraid not. As I just replied on the page, I'm a data grabber not a modder. At least, I am at the moment anyway. If you can't find the information you need on these pages, check out the front page for a list of links to other sites that might help. Then don't forget to come back and add the information here when you're done! --Rpeh^Talk 03:46, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Yes sir!... It won't be on the same page though (evidently), I'll have to find the correct and relevant discussion/thread/article, and if it is absent I'll create one (like within some "tips and tricks" section, or the within the existing "Solutions" section). Until then, I still must finish my reply to Wrye : the fact is that he has a tool builder stand point, and as such it could be confusing in regards to a modder stand point : usually modders will not get deep into the file system/format used by Bethesda so as to fetch info, modify it and then write it back (the CS does that, as well as other tools like Wrye Bash). As such, the title of the page (Modding Terminology) is in itself confusing, as if it has to actually map the terminology he must play with while building his tool - which would be the worst case scenario for any modder who wishes to exclusively learn about modding, instead of playing with whatever data file structure : in general, the terminology needs to stay within the scope of the target audience. Take care, --HawkFest 04:19, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Hi, HawkFest. Thanks for your interest in trying to clean up the WIP Mods page. However, I'm a bit uncertain what direction you're planning to go in right now. I thought it might be worth discussing your plans and making sure that your efforts will be worthwhile sooner rather than later. In particular, I posted some comments at Tes4Mod Talk:Major WIP Mods and I wanted to make sure you were aware of them. --Nephele^Talk 19:13, 10 January 2008 (EST)

I've moved the rest of this dicussion to Tes4Mod Talk:Major WIP Mods because I really think it will far more useful to everyone there than here. --Nephele^Talk 20:14, 10 January 2008 (EST)
