Scratch Marks

Somebody (probably the ripper) put bright green scratch marks on this sprite. The same scratch marks were on a bunch of other sprites, but because they've been overhauled today, the scratch marks are gone from the other sprites. But these ones have remained. Is there a copy of this sprite somewhere without the scratch marks in it's original ripped form? Marandahir 19:41, 28 April 2011 (CDT)

You mean the things in between Blados' hair? Well, I doubt a copy exists, but I'm pretty sure I can edit and reupload the file myself. Thanks for pointing that. Erik the Appreciator 20:30, 28 April 2011 (CDT)

They just shouldn't be there - it should be a gap (a space). I edited it on my own copy of the sprite (as with Nyunpa, and all the Matthew sprites, which also have the green marks), but for some reason, it won't let me reupload the sprites.

...Um, I'm really pretty sure I replaced the green parts with clear parts, reuploaded the file, and now the green parts are replaced with gaps on the new version of the Blados portrait image. You're saying you're still seeing the green parts on this image? I'm pretty sure that's just a cache issue with your computer in this case - press the Refresh / "reload current page" button on your browser while the Blados portrait page is on screen.

Strange, they appeared on the new file this morning, and now they're gone. @_@ Oh well, it's better now. Matthew still has issues, however, and will need the same treatment.Marandahir 15:56, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

I wonder if that's because your browser decided to reload the images at some point... Anyway, those two Matthew images have been fixed. Now, if you go to the fixed file's page and you see that both versions under the File History section have the green things in between his hair, refresh the page in your browser and I'm sure you'll see that the upper of the two images will have them removed and the lower earlier version remains the same, as it should be.

The Wiki software and certain browsers are just unusual like that: Imagine if I uploaded a 200-pixel image of a coffee cup, then used the "Upload a new version of this file" link to replace it with a 100-pixel image of a soda bottle. People who would be loading and viewing this image for the first time would see it as the 100-pixel soda bottle, but for people that had already seen the coffee-cup version at least once before with their browsers, including the uploader himself, the image would now appear to be a scaled-down 100-pixel version of the earlier coffee cup image, and not the soda bottle image it should be. That's when one would refresh the page and/or clear the browser cache to see it as the correct soda bottle image. Erik the Appreciator 16:20, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, strange stuff. Thanks for the laydown on it. Quite enlightening. In any case, Matthews all look clean, Bladoses too, though Nyunpa still has a green mark on him (almost forgot about him). Tried to upload again, MIME errors. I don't know what it is, but it looks like I can't upload sprites for some reason anymore.Marandahir 00:46, 30 April 2011 (CDT)
