Fighter's Sword sprite...
Apologies for this, but I just reverted the version of the Fighter's Sword sprite you uploaded. I know you uploaded a very large version (which is great), but I wanted to keep the sprites consistent for pages such as Items in A Link to the Past and A Link to the Past Translations/Items and was going through Mariofan's unnecessary re-uploading of smaller versions and reverting them all. Unless you planned to upload extra large versions of all these sprites, having them at x2 size is basically what I've been doing for all the ALttP sprites. For some reason the hilt was different though, is it incorrect on the sprite I made? Let me know if you think it is, I thought I ripped it correctly but I may of made a mistake. Sorry about all this, just being OCD and making sure everything is consistent, do tell me if you had some other plan in place, however! Nice to see you still active here, I kind of dropped off for awhile. 00:59, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Completely understandable, and as it turns out, I do plan on doing them all. ^^ I stopped after that one only cause I had no idea what size I should actually stick to making them all... I wanted to ask someone, but I wasn't sure where I should do that since its for the collection of pictures. Though, since your here. :)


 * I was thinking the sprites should be large enough so that they do not get stretch in galleries. The program I'm using can export them at any size without having any distortion issues. This is a random guess, but would you think it's about 50 x 50 pixels that the galleries display in, so anything smaller is getting stretch bigger?


 * On a side note, you wouldn't happen to be part of the Skype group for the wiki would you? X) Pixel 23:06, 20 October 2013 (ADT)


 * If I may step in... I think the default gallery size (120x120) is unnecessarily big for sprites. I've personally always preferred tables for sprites (and so has Dany), as you can see here, for example. That does tend to stretch the page lengthwise, though. Anyway, I would say 60x60 (maybe even 40x40) is enough for sprite galleries.
 * I generally like x3 for sprites. Sprites will usually fit nicely into articles at x2 or x3 size, and a x3 sprite looks better resized to x2 than the other way around. Any less than x3 and I find I have to lean forward and squint a little to get a good look at it (which is a problem because I have perfect vision, imagine someone with myopia). Any more and it's too distorted; at a certain point it doesn't really look like much of anything, just a bunch of colored squares.
 * Just my two cents. ZW doesn't really have any policies concerning sprites so use your best judgement. :) 13:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * On the Skype thing, I am, or was, but haven't been for some time. I will try to hop on again soon and catch up! With ALBW on it's way I am gonna be more active. I don't use my personal Skype on there so I tend not to log in much... I'll try to make myself available on it tomorrow perhaps!


 * On the sprites issue, if we aim to reupload at x3 size, you can leave that to me for ALttP ones. I already ripped virtually every ALttP sprite and was pretty OCD about getting them right and have them all as PSDs still, so I can go through them all and just change them all to x3. My only concern are that it would mean someone would have to go through the Translations page and re-size them all to x2 to avoid the tables being too huge otherwise. That's the advantage of the galleries as opposed to tables...


 * On the other hand if you wanted to just take the sprites I made and simply resize the pngs that's fine, as long as the colours aren't affected or anything. But, just saying that I can easily do that myself if people wished! 22:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's really necessary. x2 is fine. x3 just happens to be my personal preference nowadays. :P 00:18, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
