In other words, not worrying about variations in what melee AI uses which of the Tanker moves, but just listing all Tanker moves? That is a good point. We can always worry about specifying moves by AI version later if we have that much free time on our hands that we don't know what to do with. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:57, 13 March 2008 (CET)

:'''You have the time to see the move in more detail than when you see it in-game.''' Looks like "carousel" is underrated ^_^
:'''I meant full body shots, front and side.''' Why doncha do yourself a favor: screw the side views and just use [http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/charas.htm THESE] ^_^
:'''if we have that much free time on our hands that we don't know what to do with.''' Now ''that'' one just isn't gonna happen.
:'''Yeah, it wouldn't be fast, converting video to GIFs takes time''' That's why I absolutely do not advise you to do any of this...
:'''I now see that the appropriate place for that would be [[Gameplay/Combat_moves/Tanker]]''' Well, yes and no, and rather no.
:GIFs are a bitch, let's face it. Nifty feature, but a virtual time sink for both modders and wiki editors (you, me, them, everybody).
:And without the GIFs, the current tables are good enough (a parallel overview is ideal when it comes to inherited animations).
:'''K's page itself would of course have to be fixed up this way.''' Truth is, I'd rather scrap it. Enough of the procrastination...
:'''It would be nice to "localize" those at some point, wouldn't it''' "The answer to this is, quite simply, 'maybe'..." (C) Ask A Ninja
:It is certainly possible for the wiki to effectively replace Oni Stuff, Oni Central and oni2.net accounts... Given Enough Time(TM).
:But the point would have to be made why polishing publicly irrelevant aspects of the wiki is a sensible thing to do (at any time).
:Note that those txt files are big lists or pending spreadsheets, and would have to be wikified should they become "articles"...
:I don't know anyone masochistic/desperate/enthusiastic enough to commit to such a thing. And after all, oni2.net is ours too.
:As for images hotlinked from oni2.net, archiving tools always include them in the package when taking a snapshot of the wiki.
:More specifically, on the subject of hex screenshots, another crazy idea of mine was to replace them with [[Template:HexRow|templated tables]]...
:But even though I used to object to ssg uploading hex shots, ''that ship has sailed''... What ''counts'' is that OBD is ''functional'' now.
:Rationalization makes sense when there's a blatant mess to deal with, a mess that stands in the way of everyday public use...
:Conversely, when an initiative amounts to moving the proverbial furniture instead of contributing quality content, I'm rather wary.
