Good programs to rip sprites from screenshots

I'm kinda curious, I use a mac for reference. Also do you wanna finish transparenting this? [1] Emperor Hardin (talk) 07:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

A good program is GNU Image Manipulation Program. PikaSamus (talk) 16:22, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Japanese name for the World of Radiance and it's chapters

Just stopping by to ask if these can be added to the World of Radiance page before I do anything else. Let me know if you have any opinions.

• Main Chapter - (Japanese:蒼炎の世界 World of the Blue Flame)
  • Part 1: Radiant Mercenaries - (Japanese:蒼炎の傭兵団 ???) ← Not to sure about this one
  • Part 2: A Mercenary's Pride - (Japanese:誇り高き副長 ???) ← Not to sure about this one
  • Part 3: The Imperial Prince - (Japanese:帝国の皇子 Prince of the Empire)
  • Part 4: The Last Line of Defense - (Japanese:最後の砦 The Final Fort)
  • Part 5: Radiant Hero - (Japanese:蒼炎の勇者 Heroes of the Blue Flame) Master Snake (talk) 02:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Part 2 is "Mercenaries of the Blue Flame". Part 3 is "Proud Commander". Last one should be singular, Ike's title is "Hero of the Blue Flame" in Japanese. PikaSamus (talk) 02:34, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Master Snake (talk) 02:40, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Fates Enemy-only Classes

Hi, I see you have reverted my edits adding information to enemy-only classes from Fates (for example, Stoneborn) and would like to ask why you have done so. I wasn't just adding numbers pulled out of thin air; I looked into the game files and those classes truly do all have 0% growths in every stat. Geodude (talk) 18:47, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

It just doesn't add up. If all growth rates were zero, then enemies of that class would all have the same stats regardless of level. PikaSamus (talk) 18:49, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

The game has a different set of growth rates for enemies vs playable characters of a particular class. Enemy Stoneborn have growths of 100/70/0/40/25/0/75/30, but if you cheated and made a playable character a member of the Stoneborn class, they would have no growths beyond what they have personally. Geodude (talk) 19:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I know there are different ones, both are supposed to be added. PikaSamus (talk) 19:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

About the banners I 've taken from FE Heroes Gamepedia

I came here to apologize for the textless banners I have recently uploaded, because unfortunately I don't how to directly rip these myself. Master Snake (talk) 17:06, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

There's nothing to apologize for, Gamepedia just uploaded the versions that are in the game files. I added the text to the Michalis one by taking a screenshot and overlaying the text over the one you uploaded. PikaSamus (talk) 17:13, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

I didn't notice that, but ok. Master Snake (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Revisions to Marth's gallery (and general gallery guidelines)

Hi, PikaSamus. I have noticed your revisions and notes on the edits I made to Marth's gallery. I apologize for making so many edits without fully familiarizing myself with what standards should be followed on Fire Emblem Wiki. While I have accounts on several game wikis - such as Mario Wiki and Zelda Wiki - I'm still new here, and I know that each wiki operates independently of one another and have their own guidelines. However, in the interim, I would like to respond.

Firstly, I noticed you removed group artwork that featured Marth from the gallery page.

Just curious: why is group artwork inappropriate for the gallery? Is Marth's presence in the artwork not enough? Is there some sort of cutoff? One of the illustrations you removed only features three characters.

With regards to your comments: "(a) the sprite gallery is on a lot of pages, b) that fe13 description... where does it come from? not the game for sure; c) listing artists seems superfluous)"

• (a) I am aware that the sprite gallery is on a lot of other pages, but I would still argue it is in-congruent with the rest of the gallery. imho, it looks weird and out of place with how the other images are presented on the page. Some of the same portrait sprites in the sprite drop-down gallery are displayed again under the official artwork. Why have this redundancy and inconsistency?
• (b) The description for Awakening came from Serenes Forest. Based on other character lists, I assumed the description was directly from FE13, but I admittedly couldn't double check. My copy of Awakening is not on me at the moment. That was presumptuous of me...
• (c)This was personal preference. I would argue there is value to knowing who provided the artwork, or that it is at least interesting, but I agree it is not "essential" and the same info is conveyed on other pages.
