In regards to my writing on Life Hacks, there are 2 routes that have developed now where I have a possibility planned for Xander to have some children born using the condition mod from some of the girls he has impregnated. Problem is, I haven't improved my image search skills. Any chance you can help out in that department? Of course, with the life hack they can be set to just about any age, so a variety of ages would be preferable. This also gives the opportunity to simply have a bank of images ready to go for other characters introduced as well even if they aren't used as Xander's children. (Of course, 70-90% of the images should be female assuming that even the ones who are male even among normal characters will be gender changed.) Jemini (talk) 03:48, 15 October 2018 (CEST)
Oi! Well, don't stress too much. After posting that last message I did some preliminary searches for some characters myself and, while they don't have the background whitened and all that jaz, they are sufficient for the meantime for wherever things wind up going. RL comes first after all. Jemini (talk) 15:34, 16 October 2018 (CEST)
I would like to ask for some quick consoltation on a coding issue. I realize you have a far busier life now than you had going before, so I'm not asking you to actually do any of the coding I need, but I would like to get your opinion on something so I know how to explain things better to the person who likely will be doing the coding. The issue is the stats mechanics for the Daycare manager game I am using this site as a staging area for.
From what I can tell, I can likely manage the overwhelming majority of the mechanics I have in mind using those basic <if> statements that I learned working on the lewd house. However, there are a few things such as the math of certain stats, division factoring into some of that math, and most importantly is the mechanic I want for the raising of the "touch" and "exposure" stats. That mechanic is that those stats can only raise if you have an encounter where you do something the child is "uncomfortable" with. The way that they are "uncomfortable" is if they do not have enough "touch" or "exposure" to be comfortable with it, but if you add ((trust - 31) / 10) levels to that stat that is too low, then it will be high enough. Basically, since trust was needed to overcome their dislike for the action, they are "uncomfortable."
The math and that mechanic are the two things I'm not 100% certain how to explain in coding lingo, so I would like to get the proper terms to use in order to explain it to whoever winds up working on this project. Jemini (talk) 21:59, 17 November 2018 (CET)
I'm glad to see you so active in writing again. Either your workload became more reasonable or you've settled into enough of a routine now that you have been more able to set aside time to do the things that you like. Either way, it means you are able to get active here and do your writing and projects again, which is a welcome site. Jemini (talk) 15:07, 6 December 2018 (CET)
I have a question, how do you use colored text on this site's coding format? I need some colored text for my Daycare Manager project so I can organize some of the mechanics we are working on. I have seen a few instances of colored text and have looked at the editing to see how it was done. It seems you have to enter some kind of identity code to identify the color. Is there any bank I can look at to see a list of all the codes for the colors? Jemini (talk) 07:56, 18 February 2019 (CET)
I want to make a deletion request for this uploaded image File:Latina girl.png It was meant to be for Life Hacks, but I forgot to put Life Hacks in the file name. Jemini (talk) 11:26, 2 April 2019 (CEST)
Quick question, I noticed that Xanders Nationality is listed as Scandinavian / Anglo Saxon. I always thought that Anglo-Saxon was for people of British Decent and that Scandinavians were more Germanic? --Telgar (talk) 21:03, 24 April 2019 (PST)
I could need a little help. Learning english at school was more the british way, so I don't know very much about the US.
1 The characters in my story (The invisible warrior) are 11 yo. What school would they visit in the US? Is there something like comprehensive school(UK)?
2 Tom will soon visit his sister in hospital. In Germany there are usually three people in one room. In the US? Their father has a got job and probably an insurance.
3 The invisible warrior is kind of a guardian angel and has some magical abilities. How abou the possibilty to influence people's decisions a bit? Does it sound overstretched? --Grinsekats (talk) 11:19, 19 May 2019 (CEST)
Thank you for your answers, they are very useful for me. --Grinsekats (talk) 21:13, 21 May 2019 (CEST)
Some 3 months ago when I first started thinking about doing something like this I checked the rules and was actually wondering whether the game would even be allowed on Meta Stories. It's just that, as time went on I even forgot Meta Stories was a thing.
Thank you for the changes, I'll reread the rules and try to follow them from now on. --Imperial (talk) 08:54, 10 June 2019 (CEST)
Do you think you can help me out a little with a template issue? I tried to coppy the code from Life Hacks for a new story I was writing, but I am having trouble getting the template to copy over to the pages in the right way. The simpler code that's supposed to copy off the template is not quite working. (I will link the story below.

Thank you, that really helps a lot! Jemini (talk) 07:12, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
So, Disciplinary Action used to have a custom code for re-sizing the text that the original poster of the series set up. For some reason, after the ISP change, all the code in the entire story stopped working. Well, the stuff that was already up before the switch still works, but when I try to post a new passage it uses the default text even when I copy-paste the script from the previous already established pages, and now the look and feel of all the new passages I've posted just feels off.
I have managed to work with the shading for the text boxes for punishment notes (since I knew where to find other stories that used that code) but I need some help with the re-sizing code. I don't know if you can manage something, but you are the person most likely to know of the people I can contact. Jemini (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
It looks like Tod was still around and he told me what needed to be done to implement the coding. It looks like it was a simple matter of it having been too long to the point I forgot exactly what I was supposed to copy-paste in. Thank you though for whatever (if any) efforts you put into figuring it out though. Jemini (talk) 13:39, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
It's perfectly fine, I still appreciate the sentiment. Jemini (talk) 13:50, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for that, but... could you please stop clearing the recent changes list? A lot of us have actually taken to using that to navigate the site, me included. Anyway, I had a look over those pages. You can just delete the middle three, those are stuff another developer on the project made and I re-did my own version with another link title. I originally saved the link to the alternate version, but I guess I eventually deleted it. Anyway, they're useless now. I will have to figure out what to do with the top and bottom ones. Jemini (talk) 11:05, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Ok, you can delete the life hacks one too. It's just a copy-paste from another profile for the sake of serving as a template,completely unimportant. I can just do the same again if I ever discover where it had belonged. Jemini (talk) 11:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
No, the history has definitely been cleared. Yesterday, there were less than 10 results in recent changes no matter how high a number it's set to. That has not changed, the only reason the recent changes list looks normal now is because of all the redirects santa made. Click on a higher number (as you just told me to do) and you will see what I mean. (If it's not you doing it, then please find out why it's happening if you are able and have the time. It really is annoying.) Jemini (talk) 13:31, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
EDIT: Ok, I just did some more experamenting. You are right, it's not being cleared. However, I discovered a different bug that is responsible for the false impression I was under. 250 only gives 10 more results than 100 does. This gives the false impression that that's where the list ends and thus discourages the idea of hitting 500 (which is what finally revealed the bug to me.) Jemini (talk) 13:37, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Well THAT'S counter-intuitive. But yeah, now that you mentioned it, there are 135 deletions yesterday, right in the area where it seems like the number of recent changes shrunk. That seems to be exactly what's going on. Jemini (talk) 14:14, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to upload a picture and am getting a strange error message. Something about failing to unlock or something like that. It looks like it's saying the file I'm uploading is locked or something, but it's a file I actually just created on my computer in order to change the format type. So, it shouldn't have anything like a lock on it. Is there something wrong on the server end here? Jemini (talk) 04:00, 22 January 2020 (CET)
For reference, here's the exact error message
Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/6/6f/Life_Hacks_Female_Loki.png". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server has permission to write to that directory. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory for more information.
Return to Main Page.
Hope that helps somehow. Jemini (talk) 04:03, 22 January 2020 (CET)
Ok, sent it to your mail on the main site. That seemed to work alright. Jemini (talk) 19:43, 22 January 2020 (CET)
Hello, you could restore the Enter the teacher's room page to retrieve what was written and be able to encode it again, within a month if I cannot delete the badly coded pages I will ask for your help to eliminate them. Thank you for your willingness to help amateur writers like me, thanks! --Sonic1313 (talk) 12:10, 25 January 2020 (CET)
