Hello
Hi, I like you looking after the templates, but there are some things I don't like: Ausir 00:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Template:NPCBox is IMHO too big and - we actually already have Template:Infobox character
 * I preferred the canon templates to display the game's actual logo like they did
 * Do not include info or portraits from fan-made mods, like the portrait of Cassidy - this wiki is only for things from actual games. Stuff from mods is allowed only in Vault-Tec Labs Fallout modding wiki

Vault-Tec Labs
I don't know if you've seen it - I hope you don't mind me using your Vault-Tec logo as the logo of Vault-Tec Labs, a Fallout modding wiki. :) Ausir 07:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen it and no, I don't mind anyone using it. All my artwork is free for personal use as long as no money is involved. :) Daesch 09:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Each wiki's logo should be uploaded locally to that wiki, even with the Shared Uploads function. I reverted to the previous version, since you uploaded it as this wiki's logo, not as VTL's. Ausir 15:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I just noticed that I did that and was about to fix it! Thanks.

Core region map
Daesh, you are really great man. Please think about marking there Las Vegas also - mentioned at Fallout by Tycho (Sawyer at his PnP mentioned lawless city of Sacramento also, however it can be a ruins). Problems with Necropolis/Bakersfield?--dotz 08:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Dotz! I added the locations of Sacramento and Las Vegas for you. Even if they don't exist in the world of Fallout as cities anymore they would, at the least, be ruins. As for Necropolis/Bakersfield, I did have some issues with that site... If Necropolis is Bakersfield then I have placed it exactly where it should be. If I placed it as it was on the Fallout 1 map then it would've been placed on top of Barstow. MAC, I think, wrote in his FO Bible that some of the locations were spread around for purposes of the game. For that reason, I placed it where it is on my map. Some other sites that had issues are Maxson Bunker and the Nursery. The map that was released for Van Buren showed Maxson Bunker in Arizona while its design document said it was built in Colorado. The DD further states that it was a forward position in the Brotherhood's war with NCR at the Hoover Dam. However, if the site was in Colorado that wouldn't make since so I left it in Arizona. The Nursery's position on the VB map was also skewed. It was too far north of where its DD said it was located, Black Canyon National Park. So I placed it there. Any comments?


 * The map looks great! Good to have you back, a person skilled with the graphics is always useful. How about an expanded version with Fallout Tactics locations, and maybe in the future also Fallout 3 ones. As for the design docs, some of it might be early designed that was changed later - I think the in-game map is more indicative of final design than the docs. As for Necropolis, it's hard to say whether the in-game location was canon, or its identification with Bakersfield.


 * Also, maybe add minor locations like Toxic Caves and Golgotha as well? Also the ghoul town of Dayglow, northwest of the Glow. Ausir 14:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's probably one of the "Los Something" cities in Texas, but no idea aside from that. Never played FOBOS. :) Ausir 21:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ausir. I'm already looking into adding the sites from Tactics and plan on it for Fallout 3.  Since I have already colored the entire map of North America this will be no problem.  Size, of course, may be! Daesch 15:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, how about marking locations from each game with a different color? E.g. FO1 locations in yellow, FO2 locations in blue and the ones that appear in both in green? Ausir 15:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * lol! I was thinking the same thing! Daesch 15:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Great minds think alike. :) Ausir 15:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Some van Buren minor locations propositions: (1) Jericho Desalination Plant (operated by squatters) as a pair for New Canaan (that had no acces to Lake, just waterpipes from JDP), (2-3) The Crater, source of Endless Walkers and Rocky Mountain Arsenal remains (quote: When the bombs fell, Cheyenne Mountain (a military facility, home of NORAD) was a primary target. A huge section of the mountains became a great radioactive smoking crater. Coupled with attacks on Denver and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Boulder became the center of a triangle of hellish death.)--dotz 07:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Anyone happen to know the location of FOBOS' Los? I know where Carbon is but not Los.
 * It's probably one of the "Los Something" towns in Texas, but no idea aside from that. Ausir 21:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking the same thing but, I haven't found any Los' in the vicinity yet. :-(

Maybe you should update some of the names, like LV is now New Vegas, also, have you though of making a USA&C map, or possibly a zoomable world map, with what little info we do have... hmmm. perhaps we could get Bethesda to do the whole thing, since they do have the map docs on paper, and, at least for now are in control of the fallout universe.

IM
By the way, do you use any instant messengers? Ausir 19:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No, I never have! I don't mind if you email me though.

Your maps at NMA
There's a newspost about your maps at No Mutants Allowed: http://nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=501689 Ausir 21:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ausir! I would never have seen it if you didn't let me know about it.  I will look into everyone's comments.  Daesch 22:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Artwork
Did you really make that artwork that's shown on your userpage? If you did, nice job! It looks real professional, I like it.

Map update
Could you perhaps update the Eastern USA v1.0.jpg|Eastern US map with more FO3 locations (most of them probably fit within the "Capital Wasteland" circle, though), as well as The Pitt from the upcoming DLC? Ausir 03:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll look into it right now Ausir. Daesch 14:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you also add the Commonwealth/Institute (Boston) and Philly (Philadelphia)? Both are mentioned in FO3. And I think some places, like Raven Rock are far enough from the "Capital Wasteland" marker to be separate locations. See: Raven Rock, Pennsylvania. By the way, where is the "Sturgis" location on the Western map from? I don't recall such location being mentioned anywhere. Ausir 16:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Another location brought up in The Pitt is Ronto (Toronto). It might also warrant a marker. -- Commdor /{Talk} 18:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Picture Quality
I have noticed that you have excellent picture quality for the Talking Heads that you have uploaded (i.e. FO01 Aradesh.png). I was wondering how you got rid of the glare that shows up from the Pip-Boy display screen? I know you don't use the Wiki very often, but your input would be much appreciated. Thanks! Ghouly89 (Talk)05:29, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Ghouly89! I don't remember exactly what I did. I know that I extracted the images from the program itself. They were not screen captures. I used a utility that I downloaded from No Mutants Allowed. Then I filtered them a bit in Photoshop. Daesch 09:28, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am terribly sorry this is so late. I had not realized that you posted on your own talk page ;). Anyway, if you could provide me with a link/the name of the program, that would be really helpful. I plan to upload many pictures in the future, and if they look half as good as yours, I will be happy. :) Ghouly89 (Talk)06:42, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
That is pretty cool, thanks man.

Honestly, I am new to Fallout/Fallout 2 modding, so I have one more question for you. Actually, I made a forum post for it; if you have an answer, I would be in your debt forever. -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 02:29, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Image Quality
Right now, I am in the process of uploading a bunch of talking head pictures for Fallout. I am asking for your photoshop expertise to make the pictures really less blurry (I took the pitcures out of the game files, but didn't touch them up). If you are willing to help me, please provide your email address, so I could send you the pictures, and you could re-work them, and then send me the finished copies. I am looking for the quality of say the file Gizmo.png. I would much appreciate the help :) -- Ghouly89 (Talk)01:49, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Or, (I don't know how often you check the wiki) maybe you could post a mini-tutorial on the modding wiki to get it out of the way, and so I could then clean up the pictures myself. I do really need the fine tuning so if you're interested, just say so. You know the saying "Give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime." :] Ghouly89 (Talk) 18:28, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
I don't know if you still come on here or not but if you do I wanted to know something. Your maps are brilliantly made yet Beuna Vista is far from its real life location is it possible you could update your maps to move it west of Cheyenne mountain like IRL, Reno and S.A.D. need to be moved east to make it south-west of Modoc forest like it is IRL, and is it also possible to remove Van Buren locations while adding new vegas locations.
