Seriously though
Well done on those images. [Insert barnstar here] 16:51, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It actually only took me about 45 minutes to put those together. I wrote a program to process Equip menu screenshots, then put together some images of my equipment one page at a time. One alpha mask later and we have a full dump. <3 --GuyPerfect (talk) 17:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Changes made to List of gear in Splatoon
Thank you again for adding the majority of the clothing images. I was actually waiting to get a few more pieces before screenshotting/uploading the images but you beat me to it. I noticed the improved version of the table you've prototyped at User:GuyPerfect/Sandbox and I'm in agreement with most of the changes including the renaming of the "Title" column to "Name", the "Cost" column to "Unlock", and the revamped ability column (now mimicking the brand column). I do feel that the Image column should have a heading (maybe "Pic") even if it's not sortable, and that it should be center-aligned. Also, I wanted to note that the lists were not organized alphabetically on purpose. Similar items were grouped together (beanies, glasses, helmets etc.) to provide another layer of information to the reader (help them compare the look of similar versions/types of gear). The table could easily be organized alphabetically by clicking the appropriate header. It was suggested that we create another column for 'type' (e.g. beanie, glasses etc.) so that the wikitext could remain alphabetical for ease of updating, however seeing as these are not official type labels that would not be very desirable. Your input on this would be appreciated. I also wanted to bring up the idea of noting which gear items changed color during play and which ones retained their color. I think another column would be in order for this info. Thoughts? --sunmarsh  ( talk )  01:09, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Happy to help! The images were really quite simple, as I mentioned up above. Building a piece of software to automate a task like this sure makes things easy. I was looking at some of the ones you posted today and it looks like you went around them by hand with an eraser tool. If it's okay with you, then after I get the full set, I want to run them all through my algorithm to ensure they have consistent dimensions and edges. I also reeeally want to change the names of the existing images to match the naming convention.
 * I've made the suggested changes to my sandbox page. Feel free to edit it along with User:GuyPerfect/GearListHeader and User:GuyPerfect/GearListItem if you want to experiment. We can always put it back the way it was if you break something. (-:
 * I don't mind having the default ordering of the list being something reasonable like being grouped by item style. I just know that when I'm looking at those Gear lists, I more often than not know the name of the one I'm looking for and head that way first. Having said that, I feel that adding a column for things like "Short Sleeved", "Layered" and "Zip-up" is going a bit out of scope.
 * Unless I'm mistaken, all clothing and shoes retain their color during gameplay. I went through the headgear and found that most of them do change color, but not the following:
 * Fake_Contacts.png Fake Contacts - This doesn't change the eyes, so it's effectively a "no headgear" item.
 * Icon_heroheadset.png Hero Headset Replica
 * Octoling_Goggles.png Octoling Goggles
 * Gear Headgear Pilot Goggles.png Pilot Goggles
 * Squid_Hairclip.png Squid Hairclip
 * Gear Headgear Studio Headphones.png Studio Headphones
 * Gear Headgear Tennis Headband.png Tennis Headband
 * Gear Headgear White Headband.png White Headband
 * I also didn't notice any changes to Gear Headgear Retro Specs.png Retro Specs, but the color I saw on the hinges was sort of an orange, where they're green in the thumbnail.

 * You're free to run your algorithm on whatever images you like. I can provide you with the base screenshots I used if you want? You should also note that a few of the completed gear images are slightly larger because I took a screenshot when hovering over the gear which enlarges its picture slightly. I played around with some of the clothing/shoes and noted that the School Uniform (tie), Power Armor (colored tubes), Samurai Jacket (chain mail), Samurai Shoes (studs on front), and Power Boots (tubes on back) all change color as well. Also I can confirm that the Retro Specs do seem to change color, however the color doesn't really match the ink color. The change is most noticeable with bright pink and dark blue ink. I didn't see orange but I did see it vary between a yellow-green and teal blue. I can also confirm that the Fake Contacts do not result in any visible changes, although several users on various forums claim they change the shape and/or color of the eyes ever so slightly to the point where it is only visible on a large screen. Also you're free to rename the images if you like. I think that Kjhf has a bot account you may be able to use if you don't already know how to use one. --sunmarsh  ( talk )  18:20, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Wow!
Hey, GuyPerfect! I was just looking around the wiki, and I'm really impressed by what you've done! Even your userpage- that's really something else! This is the part where I'd say "talk to me if you have any questions," but I guess I should talk to you if I have any myself. Keep up the great work! -  Shrimp Pin  14:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hiya! Thanks for the words of encouragement... I mean, I know I'm all that, but it's nice when others notice as well. (-: I do have one question, though: any chance you could lift the spam guard against YouTube links? I have a perfect example I tried to add to Communications Error but couldn't. While I'd love to be able to embed videos directly, I understand the concerns there, but I do feel that preventing external links is a bit much. --GuyPerfect (talk) 14:56, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

How the heck do you get rare gear
I'm asking, how the heck do you get rare gear GuyPerfect?! User:Splatoonink2
 * Once you reach level 16, Booyah Base shops will start tossing in rare gear in the daily selection. --GuyPerfect (talk) 04:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
