User talk:The Gunny36440

To any and All:

I have joined moved my account here specifically to help edit, clarify, verify and generally clean up the weapons, ammunition and weapons mod pages. I intend to do the following:

1. Inlcude all melee weapons special attack damage and ap cost stats in article main bodies. (Done!)

2. Verify all weapon, weapon mod and ammunition page info box and main article text entries against the GECK entries and edit as appropriate. (Stand back! I have a GECK, and I'm not afriad to use it! :) (Done!)

3. After verifying exactly what the special unarmed attacks cross and uppercut do (my research shows differing values than those currently listed on the representative page), edit those entries. (Done! Unarmed special attacks do the stated damage.  During testing it was discovered that a. ALL unarmed VATS attacks get double damage; b.  Unarmed damage when completely unarmed used a different skill damage bonus formula than when armed with a weapon.  Verifying these and will update unarmed main entry when verified.)

4. Lobby for the inclusion of melee weapon special attack parameters in the weapon info box on those specific pages, a seperate sub-section in the characteristics section titled "Special Attacks" as well as start a page for that information on it's own merits.

5. Clarify and edit all page entries related to formulae specifying weapon damage; critcal damage; critical chance; sneak attack and headshot damage; perk damage effects and chem damage effects.

6. Help, if required, in streamlining the weapon info box information, which to my understanding, for some users is too lengthy/unwieldy with the addition of all the applicable perk and chem effects.

With all that said, I understand I'm as new as white snow here and have absolutely no intentions of stepping on anyone's toes. If there is a project director resposible for these areas, I would appreciate being directed to them. If there is no one person/group specifically responsible for these areas, please inform me, if you will, of any permissions or standards that I may need to be aware of.

Thanks all,

GECK
Out of curiousity, did you have any trouble with the libvorbisfile.dll when you downloaded you copy of the GECK? Message 00:37, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Not sure where I'm supposed to respond to this (I tried on your talk page, but it wouldn't let me edit it), so I'll respond here: Not once I installed it to the correct directory. Steam likes to hide things on me.--The Gunny 01:05, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm. That's strange. Registered users should be able to leave messages of my talk page. Which directory did you put it in? I've tried sticking it in the file with the GECK and System32 like the readme file says to but got no results. :( UserGreatMara.pngge 01:20, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * IIFC, it goes with the GECK and is installed in the Fallout New Vegas folder. I guess sometimes the installer puts the GECK and it's associated files in a seperate folder inside the New Vegas folder.  Just grab those files and move them out of the GECK folder to the main New Vegas folder.  You should be good to go.  Google that file name and there should be some more explicit instructions posted various places.--The Gunny 01:43, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Table format with new Firefox?
Sorted now, it wasn't really an issue with FireFox. But, due to rather poor coding of the table, by myself in fact when I first started out -_- Anyway, it is fixed now. 17:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Justified article text
I think that's caused by having "Justify paragraphs" enabled in the "Appearance" tab of your preferences :) -- Porter21 (talk) 08:20, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Quotation template
Feel free to copy the fixed version, I don't mind. -- Porter21 (talk) 05:03, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Catch up with me...
I really cant stand to be in chat with certain pretentious pricks who try to run things by nefarious means. I am still pissed and am generally staying away until I calm down. But I will pop in later tonight to chat 19:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
