Current Focus: Switching from Function to Method widely and fixing formatting.

Who am I? I'm Camoy, one of the original community picked Wiki writers. I've been editing since April 2010. I tend to fix a lot of the Wiki content both on format and content. I also occasionally dabble in the template code.

How should you contact me? PM me on ROBLOX. Do note that I do not answer private messages often. You may also find me lurking on the forum. Good luck. Camoy • Contribs (December 26 2010)

Redirects

I did quite a bit of work to get all pages redirecting properly. I've noticed a few need to be deleted because they are in the wrong URL format. Here is the list:
- http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Rbx.lua.DataModelMesh_(Object)
- http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/RBX.lua.StarterPack_(Object)
- http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/FileMesh_(Object)
- http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/DynamicRotate_(Object)
I'll be formatting most of the objects/services into the newer updated template. I will also be trying to eliminate many red links, and stubs. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 29 2010)}

Have you applied the Pending Removal category to said pages?

I shall do that now. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 29 2010)}

Also, I noticed you stole my formatting from MrDoomBringers page. You might want to check out Template:EmphasisBox, if you haven't already

Yes I did steal the formatting because I liked it so much, I hope you don't mind. I might change some of the colors and such. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 29 2010)}

Object Page Renovation

Now that we have new Wiki writers, it will be easier to implement the new object pages. There are TONS of outdated object pages, and we want to make them all look like the Part page. Recently I did all the redirects for all the pages, so there shouldn't be any issues with strange redirects. We have also done formatting for all properties, events, and methods, they just need to be implemented in the object pages. You should use the Part's source code and just update all the information. The goal is to get all the object pages in this new format! If you want to pitch in say so. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 29 2010)}

Please don't. I have something special planned for the object pages (a do-it-all template). Can you instead focus on the Object:* pages instead. There're instructions on MrDoomBringer's page, and on the template page. Also, the members template is very handy.

Also, if you're still working on the function pages, can you rename 'em all to Methods? (template also) I realise that that's a HUGE job, but if you're going through 'em anyway.

NXTBoy (talk • contribs)

19:45, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll rename them. If you have something special, then I'll wait until you're done. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 29 2010)}

I think I've finished the job. Now I have to do the redirects. ^{Camoy • Contribs (August 30 2010)}

Do you know a good amount of CSS? Because if you do, I need help with the margin property. It doesn't seem to be working on my page here. -MrNicNac

I do, which part of the CSS isn't working? Also, please use the signature button on your toolbar to sign posts to user talk pages :3 ^{Camoy • Contribs (December 24 2010)}

That's probably because you're using tables. Use <div>s or better the EmphasisBox template instead.

That EmphasisBox is hot. I love that template, thanks for that one NXTBoy :3 ^{Camoy • Contribs (December 24 2010)}

Thanks. I'm a bit unhappy about the dark colors not being vivid enough but meh. Feel free to poke around with the color template.

Just a side note, what should we be doing about the Object pages. Are we still using the Function suffix or are we moving it to the Method suffix? Because people are still editing the function pages that are in the old Function category which I thought we were trying to remove before ^{Camoy • Contribs (December 24 2010)}

Method suffix, if possible.

Editor status for SNCPlay

How did you do that?

Yea, how did he do that? I can't find that button anywhere??

Mattchewy (talk • contribs)

Oh, nvm, I found it.

Object:BodyThrust/superclass - Instance

Are you sure? I strongly suspect that there is a hidden BasePhysicsBody or something similar from which all the Body_ classes are derived. Currently, it's a bit of a shot in the dark finding it, but I reckon it's there. That's why I left those classes.

NXTBoy (talk • contribs)

20:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm confident in this. I trust Anaminus's "Object Tree" is correct. I'll look into it further though, it shouldn't be too hard to fix them anyway... Camoy • Contribs (December 27 2010)

Another reason I'm confident that it inherits from Instance is that there isn't really a common method or property in all of the Body objects that could be inherited from a hidden class. maxForce doesn't count because BodyAngularVelocity uses maxTorque. Camoy • Contribs (December 27 2010)

Yeah, but it'd mean that the physics engine could find all physics affecting objects if such a base class existed.

NXTBoy (talk • contribs)

Then again ROBLOX physics engine isn't the best. It could just use the long way. Camoy • Contribs (December 27 2010)

I guess you're right. It is fairly trivial to fix.

HopperBin Deprecation

You had a reason for saying HopperBin was depricated, right? You mind telling me what that reason is because I haven't heard anything like that and there hasn't been a replacement object made. --ArceusInator 00:57, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

It was deprecated for a long time. It was replaced by a Tool which can do the same thing. Although in the Object Browser it doesn't show up as deprecated anymore. I'm not sure if they still consider it to be deprecated or not because ROBLOX never makes any official announcements about any changes to the API.... Camoy • Contribs (December 30 2010)
