Knuckle Cracker Wiki

Kamron3 · December 30, 2009, 03:46:15 AM

I also put down Knuckle Cracker on wikipedia under a list of Indie Devs and Creeper World in a list of Games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_indie_game_developers <- added you to a list here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_websites <- added you to a list here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuckle_Cracker <- needs to be made.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeper_World <- needs to be made.

It seems the wiki will not allow upload of .png image files?

use jpeg, that works and it's fast

I use png for the reason it is much smaller and faster than jpg. and royalty-free as opposed to .gif.

I always thought jpg files were smaller than png files. I had a 500kb png file, and i converted it to a jpg, and it was about 80-150 kb big.

Hmmm.... I always thought .png were best for web-based images since they were superior to .gif which was smallest. Now you had me go and look and I can't find a good comparison on the web. SO what I'll do is to create three screengrabs and see. I may change what I do.

For information here is the .png FAQ.

Update:

Wow, I took screenshots of the Creeper World Home screen using Sprint32 and this is the results:

.png: 693KB
.gif: 538KB
.jpg: 124KB
.bmp: 5,189KB

Guess I'll change the default way I take screenshots....

Jpgs are better for some things, and pngs are better for others. Pngs would probably be best for screen shots of Creeper World if the backgrounds of the maps were a solid color, but since the backgrounds of the maps are usually detailed textures, jpgs are more suitable.

Epic Fail... ;)
Sorry couldn't help it...

What part of "don't sign your gorramn edits" is unclear to you? Adding ~~feldercarbty~~ information that doesn't even exist and then bragging that you made it up yourself does not count as "contributing"!

_{edit: wtf does feldercarbty mean. I prefer Firefly.}

Shouldn't the quality of the compression mess with the size? that PNG might be higher encoded, but I don't know, just guessing.

Also, I thought everybody just used Print Screen!

Aurzel · December 31, 2009, 06:30:49 AM

i just print screen, copy to paint and save as jpeg

Yes, the program used to capture the image does make a difference. But that opens up a can of worms (maybe this entire portion of the thread can be split off the wiki thread?).

I use ScreenPrint32 because I can set it to capture an area (like the CW window) and save it to disk with a number. SO I can simply press Prt-Sc as many times as I want and I get a series of images I don't need to edit before uploading. Saves the steps of going through Paint or something esle to save the images.

I'm currently having ALOT of difficulty with a forum that i've made for strategy guides on the wiki page.

What i'm trying to do is removing the

http://knucklecracker.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Custom_Maps_Guides

page that I have moved after making a page called Pla...

Let me start again.

It's kind of confusing, but i've made a forum called planet list and I have accidently made it in the Strategy Guides Page, instead of the Planet Guides Page.

So I tried deleting it, but I couldn't figure out how, so I clicked "Move" and I could only change the name, so I changed it to "Custom Map Guides".

Then I went to the Planet Guides page and tried creating the forum called Planet List, but it still exists where the Custom Map Guides is.

So right now I cant actually delete the planet list forum, so I think I need an admin to fix it.

I'll delete the forum. If you need it back suddenly, holler and I can undelete it.
